John Malloy Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Originally posted by John Malloy:Hi everyone, I'm a little confused. After reading this post, it appears that one can have a ht and then buzz their hair with a natural look.(besides the scar) But, just the other day johnboy titled a post " at what density can one sport a buzz cut". The responses basically say it's near impossible. So can someone clarify this for me. I'm asking because while my ht is not bad at all, thank you dr. Feller. It is still not what I expected, and I'm seriously considering tattooing the scar, and supporting a buzz cut. A little help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 John, Anyone can buzz their hair, it's just a matter of how much scarring will show and what each patient is comfortable with. Nobody can guarantee you whether you have FUT or FUE that shaving completely down won't show some evidence of scarring. However, many patients do have the ability to shave down pretty far without signs of scarring showing through. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Malloy Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Bill, Thank you for your response. Bill, have you seen any decent results with tattooing a strip scar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 John, To be honest, I haven't really seen any tattoo work on a strip scar. If you are considering this, be sure to speak to the company/clinic about its lasting benefits. After all, ink can fade with time.

Regular Member The Cure Posted April 16, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2010 John, how short can you cut your hair before the scar shows through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Malloy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Cure, Right now a 4 clip shows the scar pretty easily. That is why I'm thinking of a tat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member The Cure Posted April 18, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2010 Thank you John. I have never taken my hair below a grade 6 myself so I think mine should be fine. I appreciate scars do vary as skin varies from individual to individual. I looked at your pictures of your repair. Sorry to see you had to go through that before meeting dr feller. Hope eveything is better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you send me some more pictures and updates to my email dnuriel6@gmail.com Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Alan Feller Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Thank you. In this particular case there really is almost absolutely no sign of any surgery having been performed. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean the little dots aren't there. If this patient were to shave his head with a bic razor and stand in the sun for a little while the white dots representing the little scars of FUE would probably become alot more visible. This must be kept in mind for all FUE patients. BEWARE, FUE is NOT scar free surgery. That is a MYTH. In fact, FUE produces far more scarring than strip surgery, it's just not concentrated into a line. FUE is a fantastic procedure, but remember that it also has it's limitations. Read, research, and learn about FUE online but avoid the HYPE and the HYPERS!!!!! Proper technique on the part of doctor and staff, as presented in these patients above, is a good first step toward cosmetically significant results, but remember, again, it's up to the physiology of each individual paitent to do the rest. Excellent technique does not guarantee excellent growth. It's painful, but it's also a truth of ANY cosmetic surgery that must be acknowledged and accepted before going for it.

Regular Member NateDog Posted August 17, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) 1500 in 4.5 hours Thats amazing work I have a question for Doctor Feller or anyone who can answer this... Do you do all the graft removal yourself or do the technicians do that and you only make the incisions.

Regular Member pablo Posted August 17, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2010 I looked into this a while back and I'm sure I read that it is common practice. It would be sickeningly taxing on the Dr if they were to create all of the punch holes then have to remove every single graft.Hopefully this will be confirmed..

Dr. Alan Feller Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Absolutely confirmed, Pablo. FUE is very exhausting, as are strip megasessions, which is why your doctor needs to work with a team. There are two main stages of FUE. The first is scoring around the graft with a punch or punch-like tool at the right angle and depth. The second is the application of traction to remove the graft. Both require alot of practice to get the hang of, but in my opinion, the scoring part is by far the harder one, so that's probably the part you want your doctor doing. No need to worry about a technician removing the grafts, however. If you think about it, ALL graft preparation is performed by techs in strip surgery and the success of this procedure is well known. The key to a good transplant clinic is not only the presence of ALOT of techs who work everyday, but consciencious ones who are naturally patient in their attitude and meticulous in their work. A good tech "feels" their way through a procedure, and should have no problem with extracting FUE grafts. All the best, Dr. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member chrisdav Posted October 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 Good natural result that is. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
