Senior Member Billena Posted September 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Based on recent publications, this video provides an overview of beard to scalp follicular unit extraction (FUE). Highlights include statistics related to graft survival, beard hair caliber (versus that of scalp), and length of transplanted hair (beard versus scalp).

Senior Member ej Posted September 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 cool , im pleased more Drs are offering this to patients , im having my third procedure to repair my massive strip scarring tommorrow with Dr Bisanga who has been utilising beard hair successfully for a number of years now Im glad more and more Drs are looking at this tried and trusted method rather than the usual annual/ latest thing / treatment/procedure that usually ends in complete failure I would dissagree with the %yeild quote though , as my yeild is more in the region of over 90% , perhaps thats due to Dr Bisanga , or his .8mm manual punch and not an automated version regards ej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if we will see leg hair video as well? I know Dr. Umar did a hair line with leg hair. Looked good.

Senior Member Dr. Carlos Wesley Posted September 12, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm glad you are enjoying these informative videos. Hopefully, they are providing some pretty objective info without terrifying anyone due to the actual surgical footage! Our office will try to put the chest/abdomen-to-scalp FUE video out next week once the recent data and footage are sorted through. Leg FUE? Hmmm. We'll get to that in time...

Senior Member HARIRI Posted September 14, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2012 Dr. Umar is a very confident Doctor when it comes BHT. I think he is the best out there in this technique. BHT in my opinion is very important for previous HT vicitms and for others who didnt reach satisfaction after using their donor and for HT patients who want to cover their strip scar without using their precious donor. Good Video SHYGUY.

Senior Member Dr. Carlos Wesley Posted May 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2013 We use a 0.8mm SAFE Scribe for most beard FUE. When the RPMs are turned down most of the way the transection rate is extremely low as the tip doesn't cut the follicle bulb, but rather encloses it within the cylinder prior to extraction. The figures (e.g. graft yield) in our video are to reflect the published works of various surgeons in our field. Certainly there will be variation based on not only punch size, but storage solution, graft out of the body time, and graft handling technique used.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 11, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hmm... somewhat disappointing as I was hoping to use my back hair for fill in since I'd like to get rid of my back hair anyway, but this video says that the survival rate is worse than bard and chest hair. It might not be worth trying that then. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Regular Member Gary1911A1 Posted July 11, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2013 Glad I found this old thread. Still excited about Dr. Wesley's Scarless FUE Method especially when used with beard hair. Hope we get an update from Dr. Wesley soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
