Going to have a HT, How Many Grafts and Worried about work!?

[35YrsAfter]

Thanks guys for your posts. Very much appreciated. As a result of this thread I am researching FUE a great deal. From looking at my photos in the first post would you guys say I am a candidate for FUE? What even makes someone a candidate?

Before anyone says I should only take advice from actual doctors, I understand your concerns, but rest assured I am organising consultations. I just feel like each doctor wants to sell their method (be it FUE or FUT) and I feel like at least people on a forum are less likely to have an agenda

It's important to understand that many doctors performing FUE were former strip surgeons. Dr. Cole is a former strip surgeon for example. The same is true of Dr. Mwamba in Belgium. Some FUE doctors came on board later and only know FUE. You should ask doctors you are consulting with how many strip surgeries they have done if you settle on strip. Patient photos should be clear and have a natural color tone. Beware of photos that have a flash on the before and no flash on the after. Meet patients if that is possible. Look at strip scars to decide if you can live with one. Doctor experience is an extremely important consideration should you settle on FUE. Never settle on an FUE doctor who dabbles in FUE. Ask an FUE physician what healing technologies they make available such as ACell, PRP, PPP, and ATP. Ask the doctor what solution they temporarily store their grafts in. Is it simple saline or a solution that supports graft health?
There are many factors that contribute to exceptional yield with FUE. Patients should be aware of these options and always keep in mind, you have a finite donor supply.
