Default How to check out an fue surgeon

Hi

I am looking to undertake fue proceedure and was wondering the best way to check out a surgeon to see if they are good or bad.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

You’re best bet is to go to www.iahrs.org to see if the doctor makes the grade. Also check with www.americanhairloss.org
Once you’ve checked them out there, have a few consultations and try to talk to patients of any doctors that you consider. FUE is tricky and it appears that only a few doctors in the world do it well.

You also want to make sure you are a good candidate for FUE. Keep in mind that even under the best hands the success rate is often lower than with the strip method. They call it scarless, but in reality it is not. If a patient needs thousands of follicular unit grafts either to start with or over time the donor area can often begin to look moth eaten and harder to camoflauge than a linear scar from a strip procedure.
