Here's a short video where we review a fellow who had an FUE done elsewhere, with low yield, that we repaired with a small strip.   A couple of things, first, I think the other doctor did a bit too low of a hairline...that may be an issue as this guy ages, BUT, that's the hairline we had to work with.   Second, Wendy and I discuss possible etiologies of low yield in FUE...some of the same issues apply to strip cases as well, except for root avulsive injury which is unique to FUE.  I have 15 or so videos going into this in varying details and even one or 2 where I show how this happens with small house plants, on our youtube and vimeo pages.  Thirdly, even at 8 months out from repair..when this fellow sent in his picture, he looks great.  Hopefully we'll see him at a year or so and get an interview.  He already mentioned he's worrying about his crown...and mid scalp.

Great video and hairline Dr Lindsey, thank you for sharing.

Looks fab Dr Lindsey. Is low yield classed as a repair?

I think that if you are doing a new procedure on an area already supposed to be 'fixed' its repair.  The only exception is adding some singles to the hairline which I think virtually everyone but the curliest hair people..ends up needing.
