Sorry how do you know this? Are you working at the clinic? What you mean is that he hasn't published cases online. He might have done plenty of cases (which being a top surgeon I would expect) in private and even taken photos to show prospective patients. My point is you don't know so I suggest you don't make accusations.

I hope it works like that for me!

Should be a big improvement. I hope it works out well for you! Where are you from in the UK?

Have any pictures of the donor? What is the density of th donor? Is it expected you can get more?

Lad!!

Nice beat! Haha! Unless either more doctors come on here to give their opinion or a scientific study can be developed to test the theory, I would propose closing this thread - surely it has run its course?

What an informative post. Thank you.

What are the back and sides cut prior to Op 2 in your pic? If you are happy to grow sides to 1Cm, what made you disregard FUT if you don't mind me asking?

Every innovation should be welcomed, it could be that MFUE is the bridging step. Time and results will tell.

I think that is a great idea. In my mind, the next breakthrough in the field is working a way with or without something like ACELL (or whatever is flavour of the month at that time) to produce "grade a" strip scars each time. If you could get strip yield and still shave to a grade 2 in 99% of the attempts, we would be at the sweet spot until we can get donor regen. I know you will mention MFUE but you yourself still say this is detrimental to donor.

Thanks for such an honest and informative reply. I can understand why you would take this view following your view on possibly variable yields on FUE. Bit disappointed from a personal perspective as this is where Dr Feller put 1010 FUE grafts into me in 2011! perhaps this view has evolved in the last 4 years. Thanks again for giving me your input. James

I see improvements since month 6. Keep your head up, plenty of time to finish off maturing!

Dr Bloxham, let me first thank you for another clear and informative video. I am concerned by the above comment. Considering that yourself and Dr Feller only consider FUE for small cases (typically under 1000 grafts) then when would you do it if it wasn't for hairline work? Does Dr Feller also follow this mindset? I am not trying to turn this into another FUE vs FUT thread but as you mentioned this, I see it as fair game. Thanks James

I prob wasn't especially coherent in my post. The right side (400 grafts) give in well and the left (600 grafts) not well. Whether it is my feeling of 50-60% or 75% can't really be concluded without examination. Dr Feller did indeed give me consent form ahead of surgery and did go over the possible difference in yield between FUE/FUT. I am confident the donor looks good from Dr Fellers work and the right side blends in well with my native hair. The issue is that despite being on propecia, I have lost ground which means I am prob approaching a NW3 now. This is something people need to be aware of with either surgery... Unrealistic that drugs will stop the loss forever and HT planning is essential. I am undecided on another HT, I will prob shave to a 1 or 2 grade if I stop being able to conceal it. I feel like sometimes people jump into HT now without really thinking about the commitment you are making, this is especially true for FUE as there is little downtime and the ability to do smaller procedures. Anyway, sorry for diverting the thread- I have made my point. Good luck to all.

Newbie... Sorry I corrected the post, I think you CAN get great results. Nothing in life is 100% though. I think a lot depends on your expectations. One thing I would say is that there is NEVER a rush to take the plunge. It can never be too late if you are on meds. Good luck!

Looks good to me. Enjoy your life.

What an incredible result

I have logged back in after 4 long years to give my opinion! I don't think you can get GREAT results with either FUE or STRIP but with going with strip it gives you better odds. I generally do see better, denser results on this forum with strip. That said, you take on the linear scar which will probably be fine but *could* stretch. You pay your money and take your choice. I would imagine that impact of FUE on the donor is worse than strip but if you don't need much work done in your lifetime that might not matter. I have had FUE myself with Dr Feller (1010 grafts), the left side grew in ok but the left didn't. I would estimate (and I am in no way an expert) that it was in the 50-60% range. Was this Dr Fellers fault? No I shouldn't think so it could well be my physiology, who knows and to be honest it doesn't really matter now, it's done. From a personal perspective, Dr Feller came across as an exceptionally knowledgable surgeon and obviously can hold some strong views and comes across as defensive in the thread. This thread has been made into Feller vs. FUE which isn't really fair as if you look back over the last decade he has done more than most to try and progress things. Isn't it nice that we have a number of experts who will give their view on this forum. Kudos to Feller, Vories & Bhatti.

I really like the video, really gives you an insight into the rationale behind how each piece of work is done.

Things look bang on schedule- I think you will be a happy man.

You are right at the beginning... Ride this out and you willbe ona much happier place in 6 months.

SMG's work always looks so good- I wish you all the best.

Corv- a well documented case and I'm sure it will produce a fantastic result. I don't always agree with some of your viewpoints on here, but the way you document your progress is a real asset to this community and is sure to help newbies.

That's alot of graphs but the result is astonishing! Well done to the doctor.

Hey! thanks for posting, hope all goes well and I look forward to following your results.
