Megasessions in hair restoration, being defined as transplantation of 3,000 or more grafts, have the potential to definitely treat a significant area of scalp in only one procedure, allowing the patient to achieve their desired goals while minimising their overall downtime. Steven Gabel offers a review in which he discusses surgical indications and contraindications for this certain concept of hair grafting based on the strip method. Patients need to be carefully counselled in order of identifying relative or absolute contraindications. The author offers insight into detailed planning of the procedure and organisation of the transplantation process in order to minimise outside-of-body time of grafts for the sake of an optimal graft survival. Additionally, strategies to assist in the timing, speed and overall efficiency needed to complete the procedure are presented with straightforward footage.
