Good luck Irish Sailor. Looking forward to hearing to the report back to the forum

Always impressed Dr.

Subjective this topic. All the names above are very good and others recommended in the Coalition.

Looking at you I would probably have Fue. I would make sure you are a candidate for a hair transplant first and if you are, you need to have realistic expectations of what can be achieved. 1 - Is FUT scar visible for hair short as 2 or 3 grade hair cut? Depends on your physiology and the skill of the surgeon. For me personally I am guessing a 3 grade when my hair is dry. Some people can go lower if they are lucky and some maybe higher for various reasons. Wet hair is another discussion point. 2 - Is FUE really bad as people make out regarding lack of yield, spot scarring and lack of future donor hair for future HT? Lack of yield I don't believe now is much of an issue only for the better surgeons but I do feel that there are only a small number of surgeons that can do consistent high quality Fue in larger sessions. Your donor supply will be determined when the surgeon looks at your hair up close. If you are a candidate then I would definitely have more than one persons opinion - maybe 4 or 5. A top Fue surgeon will formulate the right pattern on your head and with the right size punches, spot scarring will not happen. I have a cluster of Fue scars with a big punch on the left hand side of my head from a large punch and poor surgeon. 3 - Is Robotic FUE HT is as good as Dr Bernstain says it is? I have not seen any results yet from robotic Fue to compare with manual and other manual rotary devices. I would like Dr Bernstein and any other Dr using it to provide more results using the Artas. As it stands I would go with the more tried and tested methods as there is more evidence to supporting these. 4 - Im thinking of going to Dr John Diep from mhtaclinic, has anyone here had procedure done by him? He is a recommended surgeon in the Coalition and I don't know enough about him to pass comment.

One of the best cases I have seen for grafting into a scar. It is non-existent now. Very impressed Dr.

I missed that. For 5 months that is really good.

Good result although I am intrigued with it being frontal restoration how their was approximately 2.83 hairs on average.

Very nice.

I am also surprised by the comments. The hair looks much improved and what I would expect from 1400 grafts over the area covered.

Excellent for 5 months Theluckylama.

Splunk, I think your hair looks solid and I honestly I wouldn't touch it.

All 3 of them are recommended by Hair Restoration Network. Research all 3 and I am sure the clinic representatives Mick from Farjo, SL and Denny of Dr Lorenzo, Dr Bisanga and Dr Erdogan respectively will answer any of your questions.

PJ1984, They are both excellent and you won't go wrong with either.

Really impressive.

Mickey, I barely post in general and rarely on threads such as these because they are quite frankly pointless. Regarding Dr B and Dr F, I have seen them both perform strip on under 30's and if they feel it is necessary or the patient asked for it, then they would. I would have asked for strip from either of them as they do very good FUE and FUT. I think you misunderstand this notion of "strip fanatic". None of the guys posting are strip fanatics in the slightest. If you read most of the threads like this, you will see that the guys who are obsessive, compulsive and sometimes emotionally bias about FUE are usually jumping on threads and then you will often see other well informed posters tell replying and telling them what they are saying is rubbish. Arguing backwards and forwards until you are blue in the face does not solve anything and I have not got the time to waste.

Strip advocates often say both strip and FUE have their place but never elaborate on what exactly their places are. This is taken from Dr Feriduni's website: Both techniques - FUE and FUT - have very good success prospects, but: there is no one best or right method - each method has its own pros and cons. The decision on which extraction method to use should be individually weighed up in consultation with the hair restoration surgeon. There are many factors needing to be taken into consideration. A hair surgeon must be in a position to assess future natural hair loss, the quality and density of existing hair, and in particular the hair structure. He must also be able to calculate the number of grafts needing to be extracted to fulfil a patient's wishes, discuss alternative forms of treatment such as a medication-based therapy, and explain to the patient the pros and cons of each technique. In addition, comprehensive tests need to be carried out before any recommendation for any one extraction method can be issued. This is taken from Dr Bisanga's website: Hair Characteristics Hair characteristics and FU constitution can play a large part in how suitable FUE can be; it is misunderstood that FUE is suitable for all hair loss stages and hair types and some may not have the right attributes to ensure a solid result. This can be due to reasons such as donor hair density or hair diameter, including the % of miniaturisation in the donor or the average size of a person’s natural groupings of hair as well as skin texture and healing properties. If there is a doubt when consulting on line then a personal consultation would always be the best option before making your decision. Two world leading surgeons that perform larger session FUE to a very high standard that also perform FUT surgery to a very high standard see both procedures having a place in hair transplantation. I for one don't endorse strip being used to treat low norwoods under normal circumstances and I feel strip should be a last resort Mickey that is your opinion. I am a lower norwood and I was only to happy to have strip surgery. I will continue to have strip surgery until I have exhausted my donor supply with strip and then have Fue. The scar is a non-issue for me and Fut was my first resort. Not everyone is completely fixated with linear scarring. If someone is fixated and over obsessive about any aspect of surgery then they should forget about having surgery altogether. Also, for repair purposes, clinics should be able to offer the patient an avenue to properly remedy their problems. One guy I spoke to had very badly angled grafts placed in his temples from a notorious surgeon. He went to one of the top strip clinics about a repair and because they don't practice FUE they could not do anything about the badly angled grafts and simply told him to pluck them out. I find it very strange that a top hair clinic would not have a remedy for such a small problem. Ideally it is beneficial if a clinic can perform both I agree. However, the one individual case above does not really illustrate anything. You could pick another independent individual case like Joetronic who has openly stated he would have not be repaired via Fue alone. Bill, the moderators and the surgeons must sit and laugh at these threads. I find these threads tiresome, silly and it keeps recurring because the same obsessive individuals again and again and again and again cannot accept the reality that both procedures have a place in the hair restoration industry.

Rob, I will be able to afford either procedure FUT or FUE if and when I need another procedure. Depending on the size, it is near certain I will choose FUT again.

Hairboy5, You should have done a blog but anyway your result has transformed the front of your head and it looks impressive. Double thumbs up to Dr Devroye - can see why you are very happy.

Coming along well Hairlcome and a lot more to come yet.

Othersyde, your hair looks really good. I think a side by side comparison pic would be great on your avatar like mine

Looking good Questionmark :cool:

Patriot34, I have been on Proscar for roughly 7 years and I would recommend UkFinasteride.info The overall service given is excellent and I couldn't fault it.

Great work.

Very good clinic LVG.

TheSpanish, Great video.
