Eyebrow transplants are also listed 2. Body hair transplant is described as a variant of FUE 7. For FUE, the doctor is stated to make the first extraction pass with a hybrid punch, an assistant following with micro-forceps 4. The Hybrid Tornado Punch is presented as his own 2016 design, blending cutting and non-cutting styles 5. For FUT, incisions are stated to be made personally by Dr. Devroye and two named colleagues 6.
