1,500 FUE grafts with Dr. Feller
6 months afterwards

This patient is a physican who travelled from abroad to fill in his hairline. Overall he had excellent coverage, but his hairline receded in the usual way. He had no surgery prior to visiting us and does not take hairloss medications.

We extracted 1,500 grafts using .9mm Feller Punch on a Feller Motorized FUE handle in one day.

The was surgery started at 9am and he was finished and out the door by 6:30 pm.

Photos show before, during, and after 6 months growth.

looks awesome dr feller....question though, how do you determine the safe zone for fue? Obviously fue allows you to go in areas that strip cannot, but how do u determine how high up on the back of the head to go since it looks a little bit higher than the brim on hair you would see in a nw6-7, thanks!

looks very promising.just a quick question.Would the hairs grow thinner with the fue as opposed to strip.

Very nice work Dr. Feller, looks great from a distance especially for only 6 months out!

Would love to see some up close shots or high-resolution shots to really see the follicles up close.

The area shaven at 6 months for close inspection, was he having a second procedure or just shave the entire back/sides after?

The hair is not styled with gel on the transplant area, giving it more density. But is very good for only 6 months, i bet he's very happy. Congratulations.

GQ,
Thank you.
He's only six months along, but cosmetically he is grown out enough to present on the web. He was a nw2.

Hdude,
The safe zone for FUE is a bit broader than it is for strip because you can go right to the boarders without worrying about detection. As for where that boarder is, the age of the patient, thickness of the hair, amount and pattern of loss, and several other factors play in that I balance out on the day of the procedure.

Paddy,
Great question and the answer is an unqualified "possible", but not in this patient's case. The thickness of his hairs are right where they would be if he had a strip and not an FUE, so in his case the caliber of hair is the same. Notice how they are still thinner than the caliber of the surrounding hair and still have that immature "kinky" look-that's because he's only a six months of growth.The hairs are still growing and thickening.

Still,
I did take such pictures, but the gallery will not permit them due to their file size, so I will post links to them individually below.

Lee,
He came in at six months (yesterday) for a second FUE to lower the hairline so I shaved him for that purpose. I'll post those photos when he follows up in another six months.

Aska,
Nope, no styling products, fillers or cover ups. What you are looking at is about 16 hours of sweat and grease he accumulated on his long flight over to New York. Once we washed out his hair and let it dry it became more controlable and "puffy". Thanks for the kudos.

sounds and looks good dr feller. one more for ya, with fue, how many donor grafts does that increase for the typical patient? I'm assuming the avergae patient has somewhere around 8,000 via strip, with some as low as 6,000 and other as high as 10,000 correct? So I'm assuming fue can generate an additional 1-2K. Would this be accurate to say? Thanks again and great work as usual.

It's accurate IF the patient has excellent extraction characteristics. Unfortunately, no matter what hype you may have heard in the past, FUE doctors rarely get a 100% attempt to success ratio. My average has been anywhere from 80% to 90 + %. That means for every hundred grafts I score around with my punch, I may only succeed in removing 80 to 90+ grafts intact. The rest just grow back (thankfully).

With strip the extraction ratio is usually in the 95% success area which is a hard act to follow.
