Structured narrative review proposes guidelines for donor site management in hair transplantation, enhancing long-term outcomes.

This study aims to compile evidence on donor site biology and propose a clinical framework for FUE management.
Conducted a structured narrative review using PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
Focused on donor site biology, extraction thresholds, and complication prevention strategies.
Included recent reviews, clinical trials, and expert guidelines rather than formal meta-analysis.
Identified excessive extraction density and poor planning as major causes of donor site morbidity.
Supported strategies like conservative extraction thresholds and individualized donor mapping to preserve donor aesthetics.
Emphasized the importance of reassessment before repeat procedures for long-term donor management.

Balwi et al. (2026) studied this question.
