  1. I prefer not to mention it in public as I don't want to have a bad blood with no one. But for sure I was told by one clinic that I'm a candidate for FUE (I was told I need 2000-2300 grafts) and it has the same growth yield as FUT. I though that since I didn't visit this forum for a while perhaps things have changed but later I entered here and saw this tread... The second clinic wanted to meet me again to determine what would be best for me- FUT or FUE but confirmed that I need 2000 grafts. I haven't been there for a second evaluation yet. I will really appreciate if you can also refer to the questions I asked in my last post. Thanks in advance!

  3. Dear Dr. Feller, I watched your video (twice) and I'm indeed one of the guys who prefer having an FUE rather than FUT although I'm sure you would recommend me to go with FUT... Few months ago, I went to few clinics of doctors whom are recommended here and I asked if they're sure whether FUE has inferior results compared to FUT but they told me that the results are the same as FUT. For me it was strange as according to what I knew (from this forum) this is not true at all... Anyway, I have few questions regarding mFUE: 1) Can you forecast the baldness process of each patient? If so, assuming you asses that a patient won't experience further baldness will you recommend him to go with FUE/mFUE? 2) You mentioned in your video that if you go with FUE/mFUE the downside of it is that the donor area won't be "virgin" for next procedures if needed. However- what if you'll make scars only in one side of the back of the head and keep the other one clean and "virgin" - then the patient will enjoy from no linear scar, max yield and if he needs future op he has a clean "virgin" area. Is this feasible according to your professional perspective? Last, I have 2 questions that is related to FUT: 1- Did you heard / saw any patient who had an FUT op and had a tattoo on his scar in the same color as his hair in order to minimize its' visibility (and allow him to wear his hair shorter)? Do you recommend on such a thing? or it can destroy the grafts around and in the scar? 2- Does forehead reduction surgery may assist getting better results (as this way a patient will need less grafts in his temples area)??? Also, if it can assist, do you recommend doing it before / after or even with the hair transplant surgery? Your replies will be highly appreciated!
  4. Hello everybody, Let me start by saying that I've been reading this forum for years and it assisted me a lot. I opened my account today I'm 30 years old. I'll define myself a Norwood 3V. I've been using Propecia for about 8 years. Initially it helped made my crown condition better but over the years, my hair-loss has progressed, but it is more or less stabilized in the last 2-3 years. I've been recently heard about Avodart and have few questions: 1- How many times a week should I take it? and what dosage? 2- Should I mix it with Propecia? (for example- take Avodart for 1 day then Propecia for 2 days and so on...)? I've been told by a pharmacist that since Avodart and Propecia are from the same type of medication family it is risky to use them both and it's better to use only one of them. What do you think? 3- Should I expect any further hairloss if I stop with Propecia and use Avodart only? 4- Sides effects- I didn't experience any major sides effects from Propecia. Shall I expect the same from Avodart? I'm fully aware of the fact that Avodart is not FDA approved for treating hair loss. Your comments will be highly appreciated!
