Pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis is quite common among Korean women. Although Korean people are increasingly opening up to Western culture, pubic hair transplantation is still pursued for cultural reasons. However, many hesitate to undergo restorative surgery because follicular unit strip surgery would leave a linear donor scar, preventing patients from hiding their surgical history. Thus, follicle harvesting using nonshaven follicular unit extraction (NS-FUE), aside from many other strengths, is very useful when performing pubic restorative surgery. There has been no previous report concerning the effectiveness of NS-FUE for treating pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis.
To investigate the effectiveness of NS-FUE when performing pubic restorative surgery.
The 50 patients who were included in the study underwent pubic hair restoration using NS-FUE between March 2014 and June 2016 at Dana Plastic Surgery Clinic (Seoul, Korea), and were followed for at least 10 months afterward. Patients and the surgeon completed a survey about donor and recipient site surgical results using a 5-point Likert scale.
The average satisfaction scores of patients and surgeon were 4.5 and 4.6, respectively.
Nonshaven follicular unit extraction is one of the most effective harvesting methods when performing restorative surgery for patients with pubic atrichosis or hypotrichosis.
阴毛缺失或稀少在韩国女性中相当常见。尽管韩国人对西方文化的接受度越来越高，但出于文化原因，阴毛移植手术仍被人们所追求。然而，许多人对接受修复手术犹豫不决，因为毛囊单位条切取术会留下一条线性供体瘢痕，使患者无法隐瞒手术史。因此，除了许多其他优点外，使用不剃发毛囊单位提取术（NS-FUE）采集毛囊在进行阴毛修复手术时非常有用。此前尚无关于NS-FUE治疗阴毛缺失或稀少有效性的报道。
探讨NS-FUE在阴毛修复手术中的有效性。
2014年3月至2016年6月期间，50例纳入本研究的患者在韩国首尔达纳整形诊所接受了使用NS-FUE的阴毛修复手术，术后至少随访10个月。患者和外科医生使用5级李克特量表完成了一项关于供体和受体部位手术效果的调查。
患者和外科医生的平均满意度评分分别为4.5和4.6。
对于阴毛缺失或稀少的患者，不剃发毛囊单位提取术是修复手术中最有效的毛囊采集方法之一。
