Senior Member N-6 Posted November 26, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi everyone, my donor supply has probably one last strip left (according to 2 recent consults) and I'm looking to have FUT with nonshaving surgeon who will maximize my donor supply (but of course not to the detriment of my scar). Any recommendations? Guess I'm looking for someone who is not considered highly conservative. I live in NY but am willing to travel. Thanks all and Happy Thanksgiving.

Senior Member RCWest Posted November 26, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 Dr. Cooley in North Carolina doesn't require shaving. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member N-6 Posted November 26, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks guys. I'm looking for someone to maximize what I have. I've heard that T/D and Bernstein are fairly conservative, which is not a bad thing, just possibly incompatible with my goals this last time around. Is this not the a correct impression for me to have? I will definitely look into Cooley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted November 26, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 Dr. True and Dr. Dorin can maximize the amount of grafts you have available, through the FUT procedure, and also possibly through a combined FUE and FUT procedure to get as much as possible, for this last go around. You should come for a consultation so we can see the situation, and see what the best route is. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted November 26, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2010 N-6, While I don't have a direct answer, I would recommend two things: first, utilizing the search function to research this topic (as it's fairly popular and has been previously discussed); second, reviewing our recommended hair transplant surgeons, seeing which physicians produce the type of results you're looking for, and then narrowing it down to shave versus non-shave from there. Also, keep in mind that some physicians, to my knowledge, do prefer to shave but will make exceptions at the patient's request.

Senior Member N-6 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thehairupthere, thanks, I will consider Dr. True. However, I'm pretty skeptical about doing an FUE procedure at this point. I really want to maximize my grafts, since its my last go around.
