ssfungi Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It is common for hair transplant technicians to soley preform the transplant procedure? I have been told that the doctors preform the surgical portion and are in and out of room during the procedure. The transplant technicians handle the slits and placing of the hairs. Can anyone add anything or shed any light onto this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GreatPelo Posted July 24, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2013 In most states, by law, only a doctor should harvest and make slits...since you have to cut into a patient's skin. So a tech should split grafts and place them. It takes a Team Effort...but a surgeon should do what they should and the same applies to techs. This is a big problem that's going on in the industry....especially with a certain FUE company marketing their machine to doctors who aren't specialist (and don't have a lick of experience in hair transplantation) in FUE and even supply techs that are doing 100% of the surgery...which is a BIG NO NO!!! Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
