Marsi Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I read over 5 K in one operation, in one comment earlier yesterday. Do you guys believe this is better or no? Do they have to extract more from the donor section, or is it the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsi Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks Stylin, question for you: When you write "one inch wide" are you refering to the donor section omg? Regards Marsi Edited August 19, 2011 by Marsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
businessgirl117 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) not necessarily....I am concidered a hair transplant specialist. Been in the Biz for almost 20 years. Seen alot of change, and not all for the good. To answer the question, No, not every doctor is the same. As a matter of fact, a doctor is only as good as his staff. If you want to know who does most of the work, that would be HIS STAFF!! I am very particular as to who I work for these days...I will tell you one thing...FUE is very expensive, and it is something we used to do many years ago when I first started working in hair. It is a regression, not a progression. By the time your done paying for your "FUE" surgerys, you could have paid 1/2 the price had you got it done right the first time. Most fue surgerys are only one hair grafts...It's a way for the doctors to make more money, to have you keep coming back for more. I think that if your going to spend your hard earned money, then get it done right the first time. With someone who cares about YOU, not your pocketbook.....any questions???

Senior Member lorenzo Posted October 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Businessgirl welcome to the forum. Can you be kind enough to tell us about your 20 years experience? Which doctor did you work for? If you work for a doctor I believe its a requirement to post it under your signature. I agree with some fo what you are saying. Most people understand that doctors are capable to performing all aspects of surgery but at the end the numbers would be quite low. Many understand the staff is extremely important and are a huge part of the doctor success. Having said that, successful companies are only as good as their staff. Look at Microsoft or Apple, do you think the CEO's of these companies do any of the work? They only dictate and others do 99.9% of work. Having said that in successful hair transplants the doctor looks at every patients as one of a kind and have a game plan for them. So all people taking part in the surgery are extremely important in order to have a successful result. I am very particular as to who I work for these days Unless you want to move from city to city there are very few cities that have more than one world class clinic. As you probaly know alot of clinics use older outdated techniques like micro mini grafts and do all the cutting without microscopes. Thanks for your post!!

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted October 7, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2011 businessgirl117, I see you have created a representative profile. Please review our Terms of Service. As Lorenzo pointed out, anyone receiving compensation, monetary or otherwise, from any physician, company, establishment, or other persons in any post that promotes or advocates that physician, or any particular procedure or treatment must state this in their posting signature. FUE is very expensive, and it is something we used to do many years ago when I first started working in hair. It is a regression, not a progression. Would you care to elaborate on this statement? While FUT is clearly more affordable and I agree that it is probably a better choice for the majority of prospective hair transplant patients, FUE is an excellent procedure that has continued to be refined and perfected by the expert hair restoration physicians that practice it. It is certainly not a regression and certainly not a scam to make more money. In fact, many doctors who practice both FUE and FUT along with their reps often tout FUT as a better option for all but those who are intent on maintaining a very short hairstyle that would expose a strip scar.

Bill - Seemiller Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Businessgirl (Carol), While I agree with some of your points and disagree with others, I'm more concerned about your purpose here at this point. If your purpose here is to interact and share your experience and acquired expertise with this community, you are certainly welcome. However, if your goal here is to promote yourself and/or the physicians/clinics you work for by posting contact information and links to your website such as you already did when creating your social profile, you are in violation of our terms of service and you will be treated as a spammer. For now, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and thus, I've removed the promotional content from your profile. If you would like to participate here, you are welcome to join in any discussion you find interesting, but you must follow the rules. This includes keeping our community free from promotional propoganda and adding a disclosure in your forum signature. An example would be something like, "I am the lead medical technician for the following hair transplant clinics: A, B, and C". This disclosure should not include any contact information or outside links. You can add a disclosure to your forum signature by going to "Your Info" towards the top left hand corner of the forum below the main navigation menu and then selecting "Edit Signature" on the left hand side. Your cooperation is appreciated and expected. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro45 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Folks, I need help, this forum is not user friendly, I really could use some advice from you people who know about hair restoration, etc. Ok, here it is: 1) should I take pictures of my head from different angles so I can post them here so people, from their experience, can give me an idea how many implants (follicles?) I will need to have an "improved" appearance. 2) Then how and where would I post to find out who people think is a good surgeon?

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pedro, In my opinion, this forum is very user friendly. But like anything else you try for the first time, you have to get used to it. That said, it's probably best to start your own topic/thread instead of piggy backing off another to ask your questions. To do this, all you have to do is go to the main forum at www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve, click on a forum category below and then click "New Thread" towards the top left hand corner of the screen. This will ensure you receive the maximum number of replies from other members. If there's anything else I can help you with, please feel free to email me at help@hairtransplantnetwork.com. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pedro, Also, you will get an email notification once someone replies to any topic/post you've started and/or participated in by default. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
