    Great review. I couldn't agree more with the details of your experience. I'm about to have my 4th hair transplant, all from Dr. McAndrews and couldn't be more excited about it. He is an amazing doctor and his staff makes the entire experience very comfortable.

    It's actually well know that with any skilled surgeon for FUT or FUE there is still a risk of transecting/damaging adjacent FU's but obviously you get what you pay for and is heavily decreased in risk. With such small instruments in a skilled hand then donor damage really should just be as limited. With smaller incisions to not damage other hairs means that less protective covering for the FU's is there, so if the FUE procedure take a long time then they can be damaged and wasted. Again with advances, skilled surgeons and fantastic teams this is reduced. There is no denying that FUE is a labourus procedure and you need skill to do it to get the maximum results but that's why you pay big money.

    Now if you said with FUE depletion of safe zone donor hair could be depleted and leave it looking thin then yes this can happen. This is why if you're going to use the max amounts of the donor area then maybe look at combining the two. Because again other advantages are you can hand pick FU's with FUE for hairlines ect. Plenty of people do it. The more procedures you have and the more scar tissue you get can SOMETIMES cause problems. Just pros and cons.

    You see it's all about what people want in individual cases. By saying FUE is just like getting hair plugs but with individual hairs, is incredibly misleading and not informing anyone. By saying this you are just as bad as those misleading doctors you talked about yourself.

    If you don't want to share pictures, make insane comments about plugs and FUE and try to make out FUE is simply just not as good as FUT then yes go, who are you even trying to help then? People want to make comparisons between the two. What figures did your surgeon quote? How many hairs will I be "throwing out" by using FUE? Tell me these things with a reference so I can be informed.

    I get just as annoyed with people with a FUT inferiority complex. Did you go and see a doctor who specialises just in FUE? Like Dr Cole?
    Dead on about the FUE vs FUT debate, never really seen patient results by this Dr. Andrews all I know is he's recommended here, was gonna consult with him years back cause I live in the LA area, but the lack of actual patient reviews led me not too. OP if you're happy why not post pics?

    Excellent example of how not to start a thread .

    I've never gotten this aggressive FUT v FUE debate - it's just divisive , winds people up and ends up in a circular bun fight .

    OP - no need to be so defensive . If your opinion favours a particular method , state your case , but be prepared to back up your opinion . For what it's worth I recently had a FUSS procedure , but if I need to in the future wouldn't have second thoughts on going with FUE if that presents the most likely favourable outcome .
