Today I talked to Jessica from Dr Miller's office in San Antonio and she said the maximum they can do per day is 1750 FUE and the reason is there is only one person who will be doing it.

On the other hand Dr Arocho in Houston said he can do 5000 in one day, I guess he has 4-5 people working on the same scalp at the same time?

Can someone elaborate on this? Having all at one time is worse or are these doctors using different techniques?

misterno,

Be sure you are indeed talking about the same type of hair transplant surgery. See the difference between follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit hair transplantation (FUT) by clicking here.

Bear in mind too when surgeons give you the "maximum" they have done in a given day does not mean that's what can definitely be performed on you. Additionally, how many grafts you need to meet your hair restoration goals will depend on a number of things. Feel free to use our animated graft calculator which can help you determine approximately how many grafts you might need.

Best wishes,

Bill

I see

So the question comes down to which technique is better...

Any ideas?

What is your hairloss like, and how old are you? If you are seeking and ideally require someting like 3k grafts, there are VERY few clinics that would even perform this on you via FUE, and even fewer that would be doing so ethically....

If you are getting some hairline and temple refinement, say 1k grafts, I think FUE can be great -- in the right hands. It is a very difficult, and relatively recent procedure to hit the mainstream.

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

I have never heard of either of those doctors. what made you choose 2 unknowns??? You talk to anyone with a proven track record??

Dr Limmer is known in Texas, as a matter of fact I tried to get an appointment and he was booked till August, go figure.

If you search his name on this site, you will see he is highly regarded. I am planning to spend 18K for 5000 FUEs. That is my budget.
So what would you do? I will post my pictures hopefully today.

vincehair,

Dr. Arocha is recommended on our network. See his recommendation thread by clicking here.

Misterno,

Do a good amount of research on the differences between strip and FUE in order to determine which one is right for you. Though I think FUE has its place, in my opinion, those who require larger sessions and have higher levels of balding should strongly consider strip for the greatest amount of hair coverage and density.

To learn about the benefits, risks, and potential problems of FUE, I recommend reading the discussion that Dr. Feller and I had on the following hair loss Q&A blog.

This will help you begin your research.

Best wishes,

Bill

If you are referring to a FUE procedure, there is no way your budget will allow for you to get such a size -- not even close. Before you commit to a surgery, really make sure you understand what it entails -- including longterm implications, recovery, etc.

misterno, you have a ton of research to do before getting an HT. just live on these boards for a few months and you'll soon understand both surgeries and what they entail for your future.
