This patient had already had some FUE work elsewhere but desired a denser pack and a smaller FUE punch utilized. His first FUE doctor used a standard commercially available 1mm diameter punch.

I used a customized "Feller Punch" designed specifically for FUE. Patent numbers US 7,156, 856 B2 and U.S. 10/320,759

Before:




During the procedure:




After:



In this next AFTER photo I've separated the natural hair from the FUE hair to demonstrate density

Dr. Feller,

Results look great.

Out of curiousity, What is the diameter of the "Feller" punch?

Cheers,

Bill

Looks like some top FUE. Thanks for the photos Dr. Feller.

Nice Job Dr. Feller,

How many fues were done in his previous work and in your opinion, did he really need any original work? His hair looked pretty strong even before his first fue session maybe?

Great detailed photos, Thanks.

Dr. Feller,

Most of us that know you are aware that you are very talented, but I can't honestly comment on the quality of this work.

It looks like great work and is definitely refined but when performing work on a guy with a great hairline that is already 60-70 FU/cm2 how can we truly judge things?? My 80's plug work looked awesome until native hair started to leave.

No offense as I know that you are a very skilled physician but I don't like to see docs submitting their work (which whether intended or not becomes advertising) with patients that could argueably not need a HT. It starts to become very close to the advertising campaign of Dr. Armani.

MY concern is that some young NW 5 kid quickly sees these photos and without educating himself properly, runs to his nearest hairmill thinking he'll look like the photos. I realize that with FUE most jobs are of the smaller type, but still I think you understand my point.

NN, I kind of understand what you're saying but, regardless of how the rest of his hair looked, the transplant was into a balding area and therefore still provides an excellent example of a FUE transplant. I have always been of the opinion if you do something without educating yourself with the appropiate knowledge before hand, you deserve whatever the outcome ends up being. Maybe thats 20yrs of hard nose military life showing it's self ; I was a drill Sgt for a few years. I dunno.

Pushing,

Ya I know I am getting kind of anal because it is good work but look at photo #1. Is that really a "balding area". It looks like his part line?? I feel that there would be better examples to truly showcase Dr. Fellers skill and expertise. With so much native hair present I think that even a lousy physicians work would look good--- Case and point--can you see the larger previous punch grafts they are talking about??

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

NN,
I understand your concerns, but not every HT candidate needs a dramatic amount of hair. While it's the big cases that get most of the "press", I try not to let the smaller ones get left behind. Had this been a strip case I would not bother posting it, but because it is FUE I thought it should get some "air-time"

This patient is in his thirties, but looks like he's in his twenties. He had moderate recession in his left temple that compelled him to get his frist HT in Canada. While there is no doubt that surgery worked well for him, it left him with an "island" of hair that looked far more unnatrual than my photos demonstrate. It was so bothersome to him, in fact, that he bothered to cross the Atlantic one more time to have us finish the work here in New York.
When I saw him again almost 2 years later his results were exactly what we both expected.

Had an early twentysomething kid come into my office with his hairloss pattern I simply wouldn't accept him as an HT candidate so they need not worry about being misled by this particular patient's journey.

Bill: I use .8 and .9 mm Feller punches. The unique feature of these punches is that the punch expands in diameter just past the cutting surface. This means that there is less resistence during twisting and therefore less transection and trauma. I already have 2 patents issued on this technology and have a third one pending.
