The existing relationship between tropism of the scarred tissue and the choice of the density of the implant. In his experience, some cases were able to be resolved in just one session. Where as other cases required more prudently scheduled sessions of repeated auto-transplantation.

After that, Dr. Saifi underlined the importance of deciding per case which surgical strategy. It was most appropriate among the wide range of available choices. Thereby giving responsibility also to the patient so that the expectations can be realistic.
