Best FUE Doctor in NY

[chrisis]

Rather than "cherry picking", I merely highlighted the fact that you claim FUT to be proper, which implies that FUE is somehow not. You relegate FUE to "finishing the job", which simply does not reflect the truth.

I do not apologise or contradict myself by pointing any of these myths out and I don't know why Hasson & Wong are of any particular relevance.

Every case is different, but it's impossible to deny that FUE is becoming the industry standard, especially for younger men with requirements sub 3000 grafts. That's not just my opinion, but the professional opinion of leading doctors.

It is a conversation between the patient and doctor as to whether FUE is suitable given their current hair loss situation, hair loss in their family and medications at their disposal.

If you can't see how contrary these posts are then there is no hope for you.

Hasson and Wong are considered the best by many and have the biggest catalogue of results online than anyone. All FUT in case you didn't know. So the day they go out of business or evolve is the day FUE is the proper way.

And I stand by what I said earlier, if I could do it all again I would still choose FUT in Canada.

P.S. You might want to wait for your HT to grow out before you consider yourself an expert on HT surgery.

You highlight two opinions of mine:

1) I believe FUE is becoming the industry standard
2) FUE surgery must be discussed with a doctor on an individual basis

These are not contradictory. Surgery must always be considered on an individual basis, whether it's FUE or FUT. In the case of FUE, it is a more important conversation because of the drawbacks associated with very large sessions, least of all expense.

It seems quite a bit biased to suggest one clinic sets the standard of the industry. I prefer a more objective approach.

I also do not feel it is necessary for my hair to "grow out" to have a qualified opinion on this topic. Take Dr Rahal's representative Matt for example. Would he have had FUE surgery if he didn't believe it was the best way to go?

Matt aint no expert either, god you are gullible.

Did Feriduni use the lateral slit technique on you?

Good discussion. Thank you El Nino.

Good discussion. Thank you El Nino.

You're welcome chrisis.

I am glad you decided to stop digging.

Hi All - After extensive research and thought, I realize I am not comfortable with FUT because of the scar it will leave. I am comfortable with FUE and would love your advice as to who is the best doctor for FUE in NY or on the east coast. Much appreciate!

Sorry about hijacking your thread along with chrisis.

My advice would be to consult with Feller and True and Dorin, both in NY.

I am glad you decided to stop digging.

What exactly do you mean, stop digging?

I must have missed whatever you think you accomplished in this debate.

Please keep this thread on topic. All future posts that are off topic will be removed.

Let's hope that the individual did not just give up and lose interest.

[chrisis]

If you give up after 3 pages of posts discussing surgery options, then you're not ready for surgery.

This topic was posted in a subforum about hair transplants, so discussions around hair transplant options are kindof inevitable and should be encouraged.

[gillenator]

Sometimes the emotions and frustrations from our hairloss along with sorting out the endless information, we need a break from it all.

Sometimes when an individual says they give up they really are saying, "I need to get away from this for awhile".

Then after a break and much reflection, things can begin to make more sense again.

Just a thought.

I agree

Price should NEVER be a strategy when it comes to something like this. And to travel to Europe literally makes zero God forsaken sense! You get what you pay for in life. Open up your wallet and stop being cheap. You sound like one of those women that gets but implants but wants the most inexpensive route then their ass blows up!

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, I just don't think it's a smart strategy to think of price first. I also think that being as close to your doctor and clinic as possible is preferable in case of some sort of complication and for followups. Unfortunately there are so few good doctors out there that this is not always possible, so this is why I agree that traveling to the best doctor for you , not just based on lowest price is reasonable.

I don't know why this thread was bumped...

Paying a lot doesn't guarantee quality. It's not about being cheap, it's about trying to find a competent clinic (they can be hard to find). And then planning for multiple surgeries, which can cost a small fortune (almost nobody can get just one hair transplant, and doesn't need more).

In my case, I paid $36,000 for FUE with a "recommended" American doctor ($8 per graft, 4500 grafts, three days of mixed BHT and FUE) and I had ZERO results. Maybe it wasn't expensive enough?

Compared to other types of cosmetic surgery, hair transplants are very overpriced, and IMO very often the results are lousy and not worth paying a penny for.
