Without going into a massive FUT V FUE debate here, but you are text book FUE candidate, shut the book on FUT you don't need to scar yourself, you don't look like you are headed towards anything higher than NW3, so future HT are unlikely, you wont need to STRIP STRIP until STRIPPED OUT logic. Seems like your decision is primarily based around whats the best locally for me and what typically is the "done" thing. Yes I would say "typically" FUT is the done thing for most Americans but slowly your country is catching up to what the rest of the Hair loss community has already embraced. If the overall final look is #1 reason and money not an option, then go for 2500 FUE in the hairline and travel to Europe. I don't mean to sound direct or blunt, but you have really decent hair with minimal hair loss, think hard about going the strip method, a top FUE Dr will give you what you desire you'll just have to travel.

please go for the 11,000 graft, Im sure that would some kind of record..... think of the hits you'd get on youtube with a title "11,000 grafts HT journey" you'd be famous in no time at all.... take care !

shaved at #1 after HT with a lower hair line will always look better than a person who has not had a HT.

ask yourself, do you wear your hair short (yes - FUE) or not so short (no - FUT).... do you think you'll be a NW567 in years to come (no - FUT) (yes FUE so i can buzz cut with not scar....) then find the top surgeons in their field

Feller's clinic with 2 surgeons backed up by only 4 weeks is indication of the demand for FUE, from reading other posts some FUE clinic's are fully booked for the next 3 months, it wouldn't surprise me that some are now taking bookings for 2016.

Seeing comments about the ripping the hairs out video, im 99% sure this is BHT, I mentioned this 5 days ago, only 1 person seems to have agreed with me and commented, 5 days is a long time between drinks on this thread for Feller not to comment, if it is BHT Feller may not be aware of this because he simply does not perform this, thus its simple scaremongering tactics, the place on the video which Feller pauses on is under the chin where the skin there is very elastic and pulling of the skin cannot harm a graft, compared to a normal donor area where the skin is very tight and pinching it is almost impossible, if anyone has doubts test it yourself, pinch your skin under your chin and see how far you can pull the skin away from your neck, plus the BHT grafts are thicker and spread more apart, so concluding, I am unsure why Dr Bhatti put this part in the video because this thread is not about BHT, and Feller does not perform this method, therefore either he is completely wrong or is just manipulating FUT supporters who would never research BHT methods.

KO is spot on... with propecia a HT would be great for a few years, but i doubt it would be your one stop fix, so please please please go FUE, you clearly wear your hair very very short, I think HTmay just prolong the inevitable, perhaps once you hit 32 you'll buzz down to #1.... all the best matey

im down to 3 days a week on Fin, due to a lesser sex drive, this started about 6 months ago, so stopped, lost a lot of hair, went back on them, hair came back, its a vicious cycle, a cycle i see no end until i decide to buzz cut and move on in live... LOL

Hi Raj, I personally think you've had good result, although i can feel your disappointment with the two side bits, but other than that what an improvement, you hair is nice and long stands nice and tall and slicked back, rather jealous, all the best mate

personally think the raking looks bad too, but deep down I doubt it actually causes that much trauma, or the kind of trauma that would kill up to 25% of those little grafts, thats 1 in 4 killed by the raking, Feller suggests 75% yield, i have confidence in Dr Bhatti, doesn't mean I enjoy watching it.

I aint going to lie, was scary to me as well, cause ive been there done that, and going back for more, plus getting my chin ripped as well, i tend to have a weak stomach for these things anyway,

best of luck!!

are you willing to travel overseas?

its not, but considering Feller has 200+ comments presenting the flaws in FUE and Dr Bhatti has 60+ comments presenting his skills to overcome these claims, seems only fair to match them against each other skill v skill. my money is on Dr Bhatti for FUE skills Im yet to hear anyone elses comments about the BHT idea, that Feller's edits on Dr Bhatti's video,

thats the point, its shakey, its like driving a car with poor suspension, you get vibrations, it shakes, at the point of entry of the skin, to the time it comes out, its shakey and its very slow, Dr Bhatti on the other hand is lightening quick (up to 6 times quicker), no shakes, and goes in less depths, clearly Feller FUE skills are no match for Dr Bhatti,

sorry for the late reply (missed your post) - I tend to agree, just a educated guess

No the shakey hands are Dr Feller

I've watched the video a few more times the 20 sec section (from 15minute video) where Feller has decided to focus on, to me looks like under the chin harvesting BHT, I have read that skin more elastic and needs to made more taut and BHT grafts are wider and stronger than harvesting from the regular donor area. So if it is in fact harvesting from the chin, BHT, Feller cannot comment because he himself does not practice this method. Just as test pinch under your own chin and the pinch your donor area, completely different look and feel which also looks like the video section.

im only guessing here, but 8000 FUE generally is beyond the limits of a patients donor area, BHT would be Dr Bhatti next approach, This is why Dr Feller always says strip strip until stripped out, allowing you to get in the ranges of 8000 - 10000 grafts,

i guess each dr has their own post care rules, day15 was when i was first allowed to use the shower to wash my hair, leading up to that it was subtle gentle dabbing with saline water, with a spray bottle, no going outside without a hat on for 6 weeks, but i would not go in the water yet, no way, bacteria could cause some serious problems, I chose to sleep 45 degree angle for about 10 days, give your grafts time to heal, and then some more time, think of the money you've invested and the time and the pain, and think of those little grafts they need all the TLC in the world right now. anyway thats my second opinion all the best

we wont be able to judge the video's 1 or 2 for at least 6 month even 12months. if a video is taken down, re-edited, shuffled about, blurred out, and the result is 97% success rate, which it could be, then Dr Bhatti has not only shut the door on the 3 detrimental forces but shown speed, high level of skill is needed in FUE. For those who have had HT with Dr Bhatti, this is what he has done to us, i feel i have had a great yield , Bill comments that his hair is actually not kinky wiry hair, comparing his FUT which was, Dr Feller knows this, he knows he has to wait for the result but wants to turn this into some "gotcha game" when really the "gotch" will be Feller in say 9months when the results come out.

Hey Russel Crowe - what are you getting done,

confusing information coming out of the F&B clinic, one says no the other says yes. Id say the right is FUE, only because of the red skin, which looks the same as what my skin looked after my HT the left seems lighter red, is the redness a bad thing or a good thing

so if your clinic is saying there are up 7 detrimental reason why not to do FUE into hairlines then why are you doing them, surely that means there isn't 7 detrimental reasons

why I said both are FUT, is because Blake said recently in another thread - lifting weights 14days after surgery thread, that you dont do FUE into hairlines because of approximately 7 detrimental reasons. so why would you post an FUE hair line image, when you dont do them
