Hi guys, it looks like I have been put on ignore or essentially banned over at "B#ld Tr^th" (name changed to protect the innocent , if there are any innocent in this case).

All I did was ask questions about HT like I do over here.

I guess that proves this is a fair forum and that one is a doctors site which does not put up with real questions. Anyone else have problems over there ?

This also makes me wonder if their hero, Sp#ncer K0brin is a phony, any thoughts ?

I also just noticed they are one of the few forums that do not list the number of members. Do you think it is because most are inside alias names ?

Hi guys, I have not been here in a while, but I would like to ask you folks a few more questions, I hope it is ok ?

I have a new idea (uh oh ).

The folks at Hair Club told me I will need about 6,000 hair transplants grafts.

I do not want to go the strip approach.

So I am thinking about getting FUE for the front of my head. My understanding is I can do 500-1,000 grafts per procedure. So this would take 7-10 years if I do one procedure per year.

So I do the front of my head with FUE and I would get a hair piece for all the rest. Each year, as I did additional procedures, I would make the hairpiece smaller until my whole top is covered.

Does this make any sense, or I am I being naive ?

Thanks again.

Oh, yes, one more question.

Are there any reps here of Docs who are in So. Cal. and do FUE ?

I would like to lean more about FUE.

Thanks.

Some patients choose to wear a tailor-made crown piece in conjunction with a frontal transplant, so your idea isn't too far fetched, IMO. Comfortably being able to keep up with what you've outlined probably isn't going to be as easy as it sounds, though. You're also going to have to achieve reasonably strong density in the front to be able to seamlessly incorporate the piece, which can be accomplished more quickly with a strip procedure.

The good news is that leading FUE doctors are currently capable of safely transplanting more than 500-1000 grafts during a single/two-day session. Shooting for 1500-2000 grafts might be feasible, provided you can afford it and prove to be a good FUE responder/candidate.

Here's a list of the recommended physicians in California:

You'll have to look over each profile to determine whether or not they offer FUE. Might want to also check out Dr. Feller's work, the Shapiro Medical Group, and results from a few other clinics. You'll be able to pull up a lot of information using the Find feature.

Thank you Youngsuccess, those comments are helpful. I scanned your list and found the following Docs do FUE.

Are there any Docs reps here for:

Dr. Carman,
Dr. Rassman,
Dr. Ross ?

If so, I have some questions.

Thanks.
