Senior Member Mickey85 Posted June 1, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) What can FUE do?? This thread is designed to show off FUE's incredible versatility and advantages over FUT and scalp tattooing. There are many misconceptions that FUE cannot or should not be used for higher Norwood patterns which is untrue. It excels in hairline work where the ability to 'cherry pick' finer caliber single-hair grafts are needed to replicate nature but it can certainly be used to transplant 6,000 grafts onto a Norwood 5. The ability to extract hair from the body has also lead to more natural looking results where very fine hair is needed(eyebrows, temples etc). FUE is also an avenue for those who are unhappy with their FUT scars and do not want to risk a revision and the premise of scalp tattooing is not for them.

Regular Member cousinr Posted June 1, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 This is a very good idea to show what FUE can do. The doctor I went to (Dr Villnow) offers both types of transplant and I turned down an FUT strip operation to go for FUE even though I'm Norwood 6: This is five months after the operation now: This was all FUE. Here's my journal in full with all the photos: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/170774-4200-fue-dr-villnow-800-body-hair.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 1, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 1, 2013 Mickey, Nice edition to your FUE series! I find some of the new FUE eyebrow work with thin caliber body hairs fascinating. I really like the results, and glad you found an excellent one to share from Dr. Umar.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2013 I know Atticus hehehe, you were the best example I found when it came to natural looking eyebrows.

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted June 7, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have just seen Dr Devroye post a 2-day 4,000 graft FUE case so good to see that bigger sessions are becoming more popular with top clinics.

Regular Member hopingforhair Posted February 2, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi Mickey, I'm new here and seriously considering FUE but am very curious about the scarring it causes, especially on more tanned skin which is what I have. From personal experience I noticed that if I cut myself shaving then the scar it leaves is normally darker than my natural skin colour and I don't really want the back of my head to be riddled with dark spots from the donor area... I noticed you said you were going to add some pics on scarring? Or was this a differnt thread? Apologies, I am still getting used to using the site properly. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most prolific individual when it comes to body hair is Dr Umar. I don't believe anyone comes close to the prolificacy and scale of body hair implantation except for one other surgeon(who is not recommended here) who is so unethical he makes car dealers look ethical in comparison. I have also seen impressive results from Dr Bisanga using beard hair. Dr Lorenzo, Bhatti and Maras also have experience with extracting beard hair successfully but in terms of body hair(legs, arms, chest) the field is quite narrow. Extraction of the beard hair can leave a physical indentation as well as hypopigmentation(loss of skin color which can be exacerbated via tanning). These issues may or may not occur and are generally more likely in individuals of certain race but you must be aware of these potential issues.

For beard hair, umar. Bisanga, lorenzo, there is also dr villnow and dr hakan. For body hair it is umar, villnow(not sure if i spelt his name 100%) and hakan. With dr umar, if it is a large session i believe he does multiple days back to back but not 100% sure. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE.

I recommend consulting with both of them and seeing what their plan of attack is and picking the one that suits you. Look at their results(both from the clinic and the patient-posted results), ask them to send you results of cases that are similar to yours. There are no guarantees in hair transplantation, only thing you can do is improve the chances of a great result. Maybe even do one small session focusing on filling in the scar and seeing how that turns out. If it succeeds than you have much more confidence to return to the doctor for a bigger session on the crown etc. If it doesn't than you can re-evaluate the situation and know you only lost a small amount of grafts.
