Guest Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 His site seems to be down. What do you know about his work? It looks like he's been doing surgery since the 80's. Do you know if he has adopted the most advanced techniques. Does he use all FU's in his surgery? Does he use high powered binocular microscopes to dissect grafts? Any reason you are considering a surgeon who isn't recommended on this site? Paul My Surgery With Dr. Sharon Keene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Heman Posted September 2, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2003 He uses both the micro/mini graft method or an all micro graft procedure depending on the patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Spend more time reading posts on this site. If this doctor really uses Micro/Minis or all micros, then he is using an outdated, inferior approach. He can't achieve the kind of results that you'll get with all FU's dissected under microscopes.

Regular Member Heman Posted September 2, 2003 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2003 What exactly is the difference between a procedure of all micros and a procedure of all fu's? I've taken a look at your pictures, and I don't see any difference between what you've had done, and his results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Heman, Good surgeons have graduted to transplanting follicular units as the superior method for a number of reasons. Take the time to read this article to learn more about it. http://www.newhair.com/info/p_1999_logicfut.asp In addition to better coverage and better rate of survival of grafts, the consensus is that, in person, minis and micros are much more likely to result in a grafty appearance. Photos are not always good enough to discern the difference. Physicians can also present you with photos of their best work. The dissection of grafts with high powered binoccular microscopes is also important to produce grafts with smaller amounts of tissue allowing smaller recipient incisions. This method also reduces the rate of damage during dissection. Also, this method allows for better selection of the finer, single hair grafts in the hairline. You have a limited donor supply and it's important to get the best possible, most natural looking coverage along with the lowest waste of grafts possible.
