Hi Friends,
I am 30 years old guy. I am looking forward to undergo a surgical procedure for HT. I have done some amount of research around various procedures and some of the surgeons.
However i would like to understand your opinion/experiences with these.
3 procedures and i guess those are the only ones that i have found,
1. FUT
2. FUE
3. One "FUE-only" clinics which claim to be scar less. (I don't think that's possible, may be less scarring than normal FUE)
After going through a bunch of discussion threads and blogs i think i can safely conclude that FUE is newer and more advanced procedure than FUT, plus the scarring is relatively less, though a little more costly. But i am open to opinions/suggestions if my understanding is wrong around this. Say for now we go ahead with FUE as the better suited procedure then if i have to compare normal FUE with the One "FUE-only" clinics, then i suppose the procedure by these "FUE-only" clinics is a little more advanced. However i would like to understand what are the pro's and con's between the FUE and "FUE-only" clinics procedures.
I did an hair loss analysis with one of the doctor's, who recommended i would need about 2000 grafts for good coverage. At the same time he mentioned if i need to go FUE way then in a single session (4-6 hrs) i can get about 500-600 grafts, which then means i will need to undergo multiple sessions. So when i compare this with one "FUE-only" clinics, which i believe is an improved version of FUE and they claim to be able to perform about 5000 grafts in a single session. I don't understand if the base procedure is the same how can there be such is a big difference in what is achievable.
Also i would like to understand what are specific differences between these 2 procedures FUE and one provided by these "FUE-only" clinics and whats the recommended approach to go with which gives the maximum results.
I am scheduled for an consultation with one of this "FUE-only" clinic's in Mumbai this week. Will try to understand more about their procedure and the surgeon.
However what i would like to know is if anyone in this forum has used the services of these "FUE-only" clinic's in Mumbai and has any experiences to share. Since procedure with these "FUE-only" clinics is pretty costly than the normal FUE, i want to be extremely cautious and be very sure about my hard earned money being well spent. Spending money is not an issue here, however i want to be guaranteed of the results.
Also i would be more than welcome if there are recommendations around other procedures and surgeons in India who i can explore.
Thanks in advance, looking forward from hearing from you.
