BUSA Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 sorry, but 661 grafts shud be reserved for FUE not FUT and the patient is still thin up front and it appears as tho the grafts didn't take on the left side. there is a clear patch of hair missing there. not a good result. patient needed about a 1000 grafts.

BUSA, I think you've misread this post. The patient received 1780 grafts. 661 were singles. David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

BUSA Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) well, then thats even worse cause it looks like he got about 400 grafts and as stated he has an obvious bald spot on the left side of his head where no grafts took place. even at 1780 grafts thats way to small for an FUT session risking poor scar healing. with 1780 grafts for an area that small it shud be stuffed with grafts and very dense. its neither stuffed or dense. in fact, it looks quite thin even with the poor pictures he has presented. his yield is just not very good and it never is with the work he presents. this guy just doesn't do good work. I've yet to see anything from him that has the "Wow" factor. I'm really not sure why he is even recommended here. and the other issue with recommended doctors here like him is he was recommended here for his FUT work which was nothn special to begin with but rarely posts any FUE work and the FUE work he posts is really small sessions and they don't even look good. no one has ever recommended him for FUE when ppl ask who wud u go to in the northeast. his name is never mentioned yet someone looking to have FUE done wud look at the recommended doctors in this area and see that he is recommended for FUE work. he is not recommended for FUE work cause his FUE work is terrible so that is very misleading for someone who thinks if HTH recommended him then his FUE work has to be great. its not. I really think this network for which THOUSANDS come to for direction and advice shud separate the doctors who are recommended for FUT vs. FUE cause both are two totally and separate disciplines. several doctors were recommended under FUT then decided that FUE is now becoming the future of HT and then started dabbling with FUE. this guy has NEVER demonstrated even (1) case FUE that ppl would look at and say "Yea he shud b recommended". its very misleading Dave.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted December 16, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2014 Busa, You are certainly entitled to your opinion regarding particular results. However, I disagree with your assessment of Dr. Cohen and searching the forum for his results will show that other members have also posted positive responses to his work. I also think that this result is appropriate for the number of grafts used. However, viewing photos of the graft placement would help us better judge that. and the other issue with recommended doctors here like him is he was recommended here for his FUT work which was nothn special to begin with but rarely posts any FUE work and the FUE work he posts is really small sessions and they don't even look good.You go on quite a bit here about FUE for some reason. This procedure has nothing to do with FUE. Are you implying that we should only recommend physicians that perform FUE or, if they perform strip surgery, then they must also perform FUE? While FUE has made leaps and bounds over the past few years in terms of yield and session sizes, strip surgery is certainly not obsolete and is still the preferred procedure for many hair loss sufferers today. When a physician is recommended by our community, they present examples of their work for review. That work can be strip or FUE. It can be manual, motorized, robotic, etc. We don't discriminate based on such criteria. What we are concerned with is the final outcome. Is it natural? Cosmetically appealing? Is the patient happy with the result? If there were complications, did the physician stand behind his work? What we provide are tools. It's the responsibility of each prospective hair loss patient to use those tools to fully research each doctor that interests them prior to moving forward with surgery and we counsel members to do that very thing. Aside from pre-screening and recommending hair transplant surgeons, we offer a wealth of advice via our Hair Loss Q&A Blog as well as maintaining a high-profile here in the discussion forum to help patients make informed decisions when choosing a doctor. The best physician for one patient is not necessarily the best doctor for the next. In the end, patient satisfaction is the deciding factor when it comes to rating physicians. You've called us misleading and taken many opportunities to undermine the criteria by which we recommend hair transplant surgeons and to further demean many of the doctors recommended here. The very same criteria that has built this community into arguably the largest and most respected hair restoration discussion forum on the Web. Whenever I see members repeatedly bashing the foundations of this community, I'm left wondering why they persist in coming here at all.

Senior Member delancey Posted December 16, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2014 It looks like many grafts didn't take. I would have expected a much better result from almost 2000 grafts in such a small area. Also, for a small case like this, I would have opted for FUE. I would love to have this patient's hair loss pattern. I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Guys, I think many of you overestimate what 200 grafts can achieve. Also, keep in mind that the number of grafts is only one factor that determines the result. The number of hairs, hair characteristics and placement is also highly important. Also, please keep the FUT/strip versus FUE debate off topics where physicians are showcasing FUT/strip results. Despite the popularity of FUE, FUT/strip is still a viable hair transplant procedure and produces excellent results. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member fisher4man Posted December 17, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2014 This doc. has similar hair loss pattern with the guy presented here. Why doesnt the doc do HT himself, it would be interesting to see his preference over the technique.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PupDaddy Posted December 17, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2014 I like this result very much. Excellent distribution of 2000 grafts. Very natural. I do wish every doc posting results would include photos of graft placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
