Senior Member 1978matt Posted June 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you can fit it into your schedule then it is no bad thing. My main reason for going was to get my donor area checked. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Cant decide Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Did you think its necessary to visit the clinic and talk to the doctor before you have the surgery, or its not necessary, thanks for any responses:D Definitely go if you can. As Matt said, mainly to get your donor checked but to make sure you and the doc are 100% on the same page with the plan.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sad, Patients undergo successful surgery without consulting first. You could at least consider an online consultation. This may provide you with some useful information, and ensure you and the surgeon are both "on the same page." Good luck!

Senior Member Spanker Posted June 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2014 Definitely go if you can. As Matt said, mainly to get your donor checked but to make sure you and the doc are 100% on the same page with the plan. Agreed. It's good to get your donor checked and develop a realistic plan so there are no surprises, if you are able to go. Not one hundred percent necessary but if you can go.

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted June 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2014 It's important Even if you're not local, you can still fly in a day or two early and have a lengthy pre-consult the day or night before surgery that's how I did it for my procedures, makes for a solid non-rushed game plan and takes away some of the game day jitters go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
