1. Has anyone had multiple sessions with at least two of them being 3000+ grafts via FUT? 2560 2. Who was the surgeon? Dr Wong 3. Was a single scar used? Yes 4. Did the scar stretch as a result of multiple sessions? New scar looks better than old. 5. How was your laxity just prior to the second large FUT, did stretches help or there was no need? My laxity was about average. I was doing scalp exercises prior surgery for about 2 months. 6. Any recommendations of a surgeon who would be able to get a large number of grafts from a second session? Dr Wong is great. Also, I would recommend Hasson and Konior.

You have all rights to be unhappy with results.

@Bill - Managing Publisher @Melvin-Moderator I think this community deserve your answer.

Thank you for the feedback. I am 33, losing hair for last 12 years. My hair loss is in the mid-section and crown only. I had first surgery 2 years ago with Richard S. Keller, but not happy with results and disappointed with the fact that he is Coalition doctor. I was on finasteride 10 years ago but decided to quit after 6 months.

Thanks for the feedback.

Actually I know guy who had surgery with him and he got good results, better than mine. Of course after reading the article above I am not considering him anymore.

@Spaceman thank you for the feedback. Dr Bolton is based in Florida. Nor recommended on this site. I have just received email from Dr Konior, he is booked until May 2020. He is still my option #1. This time I will wait. For my HT #I I did not and made huge mistake. I am waiting on response from other 2 doctors.

I had failed FUT HT and I am planning to have a second surgery(FUT). I live in Chicago but willing to travel. Currently I am planning to have consultation with: 1. Raymond Konior 2. Hasson & Wong 3. Brett Bolton I would like to hear your opinion on how many grafts I will need for decent density and will my scar from second surgery be wider. Before HT#1 After HT - Final Result

Any feedback from Dr. Soni? There are some alarming posts about his work and he is still recommended on this forum.

Amen. And will your illusion be 60grafts/cm2 or 20grafts/cm2 depends of area you have to cover and also of percentage of grafts that survived(surgeon skills). I think that surgeons should not do HT if they now your density will be less that 20grafts/cm2, if they are not money greedy and unethical. Also, sometimes surgeons give false promises and are reason of unrealistic expectations.

This is not illusion. This is called a good result.

Is Dr Couto recommended on this site? These results are stunning

Yep, they are from Chicago.I had consultation with them.

100% agree. Don't trust photos.

I agree 100%. Your best option is to do another HT with some of top doctors.

Please provide more pictures and prove that you are real patient and not paid by FUT clinic to promote FUE over FUT. I agree that these scars looks bad.

How wide is your scar? Shaving is not good option, although SMP will help

Great result!

I am planning to have 2nd HT. Still deciding on doc

I think I have experienced shock loss in the mid scalp.

Hi All, I had a HT 2 years ago with Dr Richard S Keller. I am not happy with results and he gave me a lot of false promises that did not happen. At 4 months visit he said I will have poster results, at 7 months that my density will double, but none of this happen. Also, he posted my results on this forum but his post was misleading and not showing real result. Due to all of these factors I am planning to ask him for refund. I would like to hear your opinion. Before HT: 12 -18 months: Keller's pictures My Pictures:

@AnalogFeel Could you post pictures?

Just post pictures so other members can get involved

Your hair loss was less than mine and with 4k you definitely should have a better result. But it is still early, you have to wait 16 months since it is crown.

I do not think it fair to say that all clinics are doing that. Also, it is fact that you cannot have density as before. It will be useful for this community if you post your pictures so we can compare Dr Keller's pictures and yours. I hope that moderators will do something about doctors who are posting misleading pictures. I am planning to see Dr Keller next month and ask him for refund. He gave me a lot of promises that did not happen. I am planning to have 2nd surgery, but not with him for sure.
