Bad fue or good fue ?

[Mr. 4000]

that is insane, check out Shapiro.

I will never trust a strip doctor again, it is the worst surgery a person can choose. Especially if you need a decent amount of grafts.

So many negatives that people refuse to talk about, it becomes a game that you can never win.

Strip needs to end. Unless you are a NW2 or less.

Don't do it, man. That's ****ing crazy that they want $ 11.000 for an area that you can barely notice.

$9 per FUE graft seems pretty standard. Having a strip for a large transplant is really the only way to go. FUE is usually reserved from smaller numbers of grafts in one session.

I disagree, strip is the worst possible option. When the scalp is stretched you are screwed. Your whole head and appearance will change, add to that the likely hood that you will get an a result that you are pleased with are slim to zero.

Don't do it, I wish I could have a do over, FUE is the way to go. NO scalp stretching!!!

Look at people that had strip. What is the first thing you notice. The high temples and big forehead from the pulling. It is just the way it goes.

i must agree wthat 9 $ per graft seems to a fair price but still , 1200 grafts , thats insane .... this is for a FUE HT . This is a total rip off , guess the best way to go is to go for a consultation ...

i am so desperated that i almost willing to get down to florida ( artistry concepts ) to fix this up lol and probably patch those scars in the back of my head too....

i clearly mentioned to that doctor that density WAS extremely important cauze i buzzed my head ( like that look ) at .75 to 1 most of the time . Anyway , any feebacks from AC after few years , i am going thru the pictures and its amazing how it looks real.

I don't what the hell you're talking about. I've had 4 HTs and I DONT have high temples or big forehead. In fact, my hairline is lower than the original one. And NO, the whole head appearance did NOT change.
I would agree FUE is better than FUT if it weren't for the FACT that graft survival with FUE is much lower than that of an FUT.

I went thru the patient advisor of Doc. Rahal and he advised for 1200 grafts for a cost of 11k .!! which i find ridiculous ...anyone agree with me ?

Was that Matt who posts here in the forums?

i called in for consultation and this is quote after i have sent pictures.

We charge $8 per graft, but we have to add the 13% tax on top.
We also offer travel discount, depending on where you are travelling from. That would have brought that quote to 10000.

However, the 1200 grafts is an estimate based on photos, and final measurements and graft recommended are done during consultation. So that number may be less upon examination.

8 dollars per graft is in the mid-range of what other clinics charge for FUE, and we charge less for strip grafts.

If you look around, you may find some clinics will actually charge up to that amount for strip.
