hair1111 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was quoted 300-500 grafts and the online calculator gave me abut the same amount. The local ht surgeon said he didnt do that minor a session and that i didn't need it. He did however acknowledge that i would be a perfect candidate because i have no family history and my hair seems extremely thick. I am not posting a photo because i don't want to offend anyone and be told I don't need one. I know I don't need one but I want one. It would make a huge impact on me so why not do it? i have seen umars fellers and shapiros work and THEY ARE BRILLIANT! but don't know if they do minor sessions. Thoughts? thank you!

Senior Member Cant decide Posted January 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2012 Feller does a "Lunch time FUE session" of 200 grafts so I know he deals with cases this small.

Regular Member donp Posted January 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2012 It could as well depend on age and hair-loss extent of a patient, and a reputable doc wont do it, and if you think about it analytically from a future vantage, you WILL realize that it was the right decision of theirs at that very time. As matter of fact, I was refused as a candidate 10 yrs back. But now at my this rhinoceros age, a well-acclaimed doc agreed to work on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Understand where you are coming from however fue didn't exist 10 years ago and given the fact that i have a good family history and thick hair i think fue would be great for me. I just don't want to go to someone that is gonna mess up even if its 500 grafts. I don't see this as too risky and If I have the money then why not do it?Thanks for your reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna have to look on this "lunchtime session".. thank you soo much for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Atticus Posted January 1, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2012 Dr. Umar in Redondo Beach did my hairline and temples using only 600 grafts. I wanted to have my severe Eddie Munster (Dracula) hairline normalized. The old hairline aged me by at least 10 years. You can do an online consulation with Dr. Umar. If he thinks you are a good candidate, he will do small jobs. Happy New Years!!!!!! Atticus I was quoted 300-500 grafts and the online calculator gave me abut the same amount.

hair1111 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I had Dr Feller do a 500 graft fue last year and 390 2 months ago. thanks for your reply. would you say 500 grafts is enough to cover about the diameter of a nickle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted January 3, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2012 AT MOST a nickel' coverage is 200 grafts. That is at almost 70 grafts per cm squared.

Senior Member hairthere Posted January 3, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2012 Dr. Feller coined the term lunchtime postage stamp procedure as you can fit 200 grafts into an area the size of a postage stamp.

hair1111 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 thank you spanker and hairthere for your replies.I just put a postage stamp on the affected area and saw its enough to cover and some i guess its time for me to stop asking questions and start sending pics. Wish me luck!!! Thanks everyone for your replies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ukresponder Posted January 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hair 1111, Feller is your man for your situation, he's one of the best FUE guys around and he does not use a lot of grafts to get great results. Don't ever factor location into your decision. best, UK R :)2250 Strip Dr Feller :)1900 Strip Dr Feller ----------------------------------- 2 Great HT's & Experiences ----------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
