Regular Member Hank9 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hey everyone, I could use some more help with this one. I've been out of the loop for a long time now and not up to date with everything going on in the ht world. Back when I was doing my research Dr Alvi Armani was leading the charge with fue, but has since moved away from Canada. Just wondering who's name in Canada keeps popping up as far as being an awesome fue surgeon with great results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member KO Posted June 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2014 Rahal is primarily a strip surgeon, for FUE you should travel. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted June 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2014 Rahal is primarily a strip surgeon, for FUE you should travel. Actually Rahal told me himself that 30-40% of his patients are FUE. He has been at FUE for about 4 years now and getting better and better IMO. Is he the best FUE doc out there? Probably not but I would trust him 100% to do an FUE on me.

Senior Member KO Posted June 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2014 I know he does FUE, but I don't believe he is a great FUE surgeon.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think posters on this site have been beating the drum so hard on overseas FUE docs and make it sound as if good FUE cannot be achieved in the US. I agree that the docs overseas seem to be better overall at FUE but by how much really??? To make it sound like one must go out of NA to get a decent FUE result is misleading. There are plenty of NA docs that can product FUE results essentially on par with their EU counterparts (Shapiro, Rahal, Feller, etc). Lets assume that an EU FUE doc can get 98% survival rate while a NA doc gets 94%. (If this is even the case), if I lived near one of these clinics in the US, I would be willing to give up the 4% in survival rate to avoid the burden of travel, etc. This is just me though. For larger FUE, I would agree that I would likely go to the EU myself but for medium to smallish FUE cases, there are several good NA docs that will give you a very pleasing result. I think what primarily separates the good FUE docs vs the good NA docs is their ability to do larger FUE cases better.

Senior Member hairthere Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dr. Rahal is certainly worth considering for FUE. It's been awhile since I've seen any results posted here but I know he's put up some megasession-sized cases. However, even if you are not willing to travel overseas I think it's worth consulting (Skype, etc.) with some of the doctors there. Best of luck!

Regular Member Shmiggy Posted June 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think the biggest difference between North American FUE docs and the cream of the crop EU docs is motorized extraction versus manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cautiouslyconsidering Posted June 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 If yield is similar on smaller cases, then why does it matter whether they do motorized vs. manual extraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairweare Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 As patients we tend to rationalize our ultimate decisions in regard to choosing both the type of procedure and the physician who performs it. The results will be permanent and will have a profound long term effect both emotionally and financially so this decision should never be made in haste. Considering that FUE is not yet state of the art for the majority of practitioners and that those who do it exclusively in high volume are relatively rare, I believe one should go with a surgeon who has the most expertise and experience in the particular procedure that you decide on.

Senior Member KO Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Can you guys post at least 10 FUE results by Rahal with more than 3000 grafts each? Now it's possible that Rahal is a great FUE surgeon, but it is possible that I have not seen his work. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairweare Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Perhaps this example in my own specialty of Interventional Cardiology will be illustrative. In the late 70's the state of art treatment for coronary artery disease was either medical therapy or bypass surgery. A Swiss doctor began experimenting and promoting the novel technique of balloon angioplasty which was a non-invasive method of treating blocked arteries. Several prominent European physicians embraced the new technology and many were trained in it by this Swiss doctor. Meanwhile the doctors in the US were much slower to accept it. This changed when the Swiss doctor came to a major US university and taught the procedure to those willing to learn the it. Many of the original disciples of this doctor went on to start their own US training programs and over a matter of 10 yrs balloon angioplasty became widely accepted as an viable 3rd treatment option for CAD. Younger physicians at the time such as myself were specifically trained in the new technology and became experts because of that intense training and high volume of experience before setting out into private practice. However, the vast number of cardiologists already in practice had no specific training yet slowly had to learn it by "practicing" on their own patients. Suffice is to say there was a varying learning curve and not all practitioners were able to achieve optimal results. Now recognized as a distinct specialty, hospitals will no longer allow new physicians who have not been specifically trained in the procedure to perform it. I view FUE much in the same way. There is no a priori reason to believe that every physician who does great HT work is also an expert in FUE. I personally selected a physician who does FUE exclusively, controls both the extraction and placement process and has demonstrably shown consistent stellar results.
