Dear all,
I would like to seek your advice.
I am considering between Dr Ruban Nathan and Dato Dr Jasvinderr of Glojas Health Clinic, both in Malaysia.
Dr Ruban proposed FUT for 1300 follicles in one session and charges RM12 per follicle.Total Cost RM16,000
Dr Jas proposed FUE for 3000 follicles in one session and charges RM8 per follicle. Total cost RM24,000. Dr Jas likes to emphasise he is the ONLY Diplomate American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (DABHRS) in Malaysia.
According to Norton's classification, I am type IV and need 2200-3400 follicles in total for the front and 3400-3800 if with the crown.
My questions:
1. Will doing FUE with 3000 follicles in a single session have high likelihood of survival rates? I read that too long sessions will reduce the survival rates of the follicles.
2. Dr Jas has just open his clinic 6 months, though his staff says he used to practice somewhere else in another clinic. Hence, there is an element of doubt.
3. How creditable is this DABHRS?
4. Dr Ruban credibility
