Senior Member 1978matt Posted June 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2012 Good question. Choosing a doc recommended on here kind of makes some questions a bit pointless. How about: - What will be your involvement in the procedure? - Which technicians will be doing my work? How much experience have they got? - Can you give me at least 3 telephone numbers of former patients I can contact? - How often do you perform FUE, FUT? - How do you minimise scarring? - What FUE extraction tool do you use, and why? 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member OttawaJay Posted June 28, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm so close to taking the plunge but I'm scared to death. Dr Rahal in my town, so that's convenient... though I don't know if he does the procedure himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PupDaddy Posted June 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2012 Another question to ask is how many transplant procedures the doctor does per day. My understanding is that for FUT procedures, Dr. Rahal excises the strip and sutures the wound closed (while his techs harvest the grafts from the strip), makes all of the recipient incisions, and shares with his implantation techs the task of placing the grafts into the recipient sites. For FUE, I believe that he does all of the FU extractions himself, makes all the recipient site incisions, and shares the placement of the grafts into the incisions with his implantation techs per above. You should double check this info with Dr. Rahal or his office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
