Non shaven FUE

[gwallt]

Hi

I am thinking of having a small fue (about 750grafts). I don't want to shave the whole donor because of scarring from prior transplants. Could you recommend a surgeon who offers Non shaven fue, and how reliable is the procedure? I am from the UK

Thanks

How many surgeries have you had Gwalt?

 

The only problem with not shaving is the formation of the harvesting will be more clustered together making the scarring from Fue more evident but it depends on your situation.

 

Do your research first- it's imperative.

Is traveling abroad an option for you? For 700 grafts any surgeon could shave a section of hair(not the whole donor area) so they can extract those grafts and you could wear your hair a bit longer to conceal it while it grows out. But for true non-shaven(the cut the hair one by one and then punch and extract) surgeons... I'm not even sure they can do 700. Highest I've heard of is a 500 graft session.

Mickey- yes travelling is an option

ChrisDav-iv'e had two prior surgeries(3400 grafts) with good results

Ive just had my second FUE consisting of just over 1600 grafts. Although it woul be nice to not have it shaved it very much depends upon where the placement will be. If you are transplanting into existng hair then shaving is generally a must.

 

Hi mate, good to see you've had your second pass with Dr F. Will you be documenting things again?
