FUT is more popular than FUE

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

Because I'm easy come, easy go

A little high, little low

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

 

 

Ahh this is so much more fun than discussing this dead issue.

I must say I never got the impression that LondonHTseeker was licking Dr Feller's derriere post Mfue freebie offer, in fact I seem to remember he corrected Dr Feller in no uncertain terms when the good Doctor made a claim that london knew the name of his FUE doc where in fact London has no idea of the name of the Doc who operated on him, I can't remember the relevance of that thread but point being London put the record straight , regarding whether Dr Feller had any intention of coming good with his offer only he knows that, of course most of us were rooting for him to get it as free hair transplants certainly don't grow on trees

 

That could have been partly why he refused, who knows. Whatever, I'm over it. I'm looking good for now anyway: thick head of hair. *pats HTsoon's head condescendingly* It'll work out buddy, don't worry.

Oh it's definitely no wig. Really quite impressive for a man nearing 70.

And I think we could all agree with hair that length, should he need a HT, the scars from either procedure would be covered ;-)

So glad we've almost made it

So sad they had to fade it

Everybody wants to rule the world

If you leave, don't leave now

Please don't take my heart away

Promise me just one more night

Then we'll go our separate ways

With hours left time on our sides

Now it's fading fast

Every second every moment

We've got to--we've gotta make it last

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility.

 

such a great film

Well here's a comparison that we could probably start with.

 

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/180338-dr-bhatti-2560-fue-grafts-female-patient.html

 

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/161553-am-i-one-unlucky-few-4-years-post-strip-dr-feller-2.html

 

In the above examples the transplanted surface areas appear to be roughly equal - if anything the woman's is slighter bigger.

 

According to the thread, LondonHTseeker had 2000 FUT grafts from Dr Feller into a bald area at the front (not including his initial FUT surgery with Dr Feller for around 1300 grafts, which seems to have grown well at his original hairline) and the woman had around 2500 via FUE from Dr Bhatti into a similar sized bald area.

 

Now for the million dolhair question, does her thicker result look 500ish grafts thicker?

 

No way!................ It looks A LOT thicker!!

 

Therefore, how did Dr Bhatti's FUE result on her turn out so much better than Dr Feller's FUT result on LondonHTseeker?

^ I did ask Shera to post that, which I guess was a bit sneaky. Oh well. The answer was interesting.

You should look before you leap Shera. London seeker had FUE from a doctor who uses a far better technique than yours and still did not grow well. There is also more to London's case than you are letting on here. You are being disingenuous and you know it. Pretty desperate.

 

I have avoided discussing individual results, because all it does is create a subjective slinging match that serves nobody. But you just couldn't help yourself could you? So is my next move to start singling out and posting unhappy patients of Dr. Bhatti ? You really want to go there ?

 

Try and stick to focusing on the procedure instead of the surgeon. I know you are trying to stick up for your doctor. Instead, why don't you stick up for his procedure as shown in the video if you can. That would be much more on point and much more civil don't you think?

 

^ Haha.

Dr Feller, I don't even know the name of the doctor who did my FUE op (which occurred around 5 years after your second HT on me, which is the one Shera refers to) so I doubt you do! It was an assistant doctor for a budget price Turkish clinic. The procedure was very rushed and my donor area was raped. I'm sure Dr Bhatti's a better surgeon than the young doctor who did mine was. That said, growth was actually OK. It was likely at least 70%, but how much more I don't know - just as I don't know how many grafts actually grew in my second HT with you.

 

Hmm...

Hi, First and foremost thing you need to understand is that Results in Pain, trauma - these are actually dependant on the physician handling the case not technique. Both these techniques are just methods of taking out grafts.

 

Second, looking at your riddle regarding FUE and FUT; the most considering choice about cosmetic density you want. With FUE you can undergo up to 2200-2500 grafts in one sitting and achieve a moderate density overall, whereas with FUT + FUE, you can get more no of grafts and achieve a better density.

 

So, you should consult a experienced surgeon who does not do only one kind of technique but advises you what is best in your interest.

Distinguishing both the treatments I have posted pros and cos FUT and FUE to make you comfortable to adopt hair transplantation procedure :

Follicular units in FUE are harvested from a much greater area of the donor zone compared to FUT

In FUT, all the hair is harvested from the mid-portion of the donor area where the hair is most permanent. This is done to maximize the yield of high quality grafts from the permanent zone. In FUE, to obtain a sufficient number of grafts, follicular units must also be extracted from the upper and lower portions of the donor region and these may not be as permanent. Therefore, over time, the hair transplanted from these areas to other parts of the scalp may be lost

Over time, continued thinning in the upper and lower parts of the donor zone may cause the FUE scars to become visible

Graft quality is not as good compared to FUT *

Greater rate of follicular transection (damage to grafts) compared to FUT

Grafts more fragile and subject to trauma during placement, because extracted grafts often lack the protective dermis and fat of microscopically dissected grafts

More difficult to capture the entire follicular unit – resulting in lower density

* This disadvantage is minimized with Robotic FUE

 

The maximum follicular unit graft yield is lower than with FUT

Lower quality grafts may not grow as well

Inability to harvest all the hair from the mid-permanent zone results in decreased numbers of grafts

The scarring and distortion of the donor scalp from FUE makes subsequent FUE sessions more difficult

Long-term, if the donor area narrows, the scarring may become visible

Both FUT and FUE produce donor scarring; FUT, in the form of a line and FUE in the shape of small, round dots. With FUT, the line is placed in the mid-portion of the permanent zone and in FUE the dots are scattered all over the donor area. If a patient becomes extensively bald (i.e. the donor fringe becomes very narrow), the line of FUT will generally still remain hidden, whereas the dots of FUE will be seen above the fringe of hair. In the less likely scenario of the donor hair actually thinning significantly, both the line (of FUT) and the dots (of FUE) may become visible.

I've seen FUT scars (like mine) where the donor was taken not in the mid-scalp or what you call the "permanent zone" but outside that area. Particurlary those with multiple FUT surgeries, I've seen scars above the ears. My first procedure was an FUT and my donor scar is almost at the nape of my neck, this is certainly not the "permanent zone". Whereas, my recent FUE surgery, all harvested grafts were taken from the "safe zone" - the area of the donor which is not as susceptible to DHT and therefore the hairs are not genetically programmed to fall out. Some of what you're discussing above between FUE and FUT is not very accurate.

I'm a bit late to the party but there isn't even a comparison between FUE and FUT. FUE is clearly the best method around. I've had my procedure done with Dr. Bhatti and have absolutely 0 scars.....none. Here is a link to a thread with my experience with Dr. Bhatti. Below are the results in pictures. If my memory serves me correctly, it's been about 3 years now and not a day goes by that I'm not glad I've had the procedure.

FUE and FUT is best hair transplantation technique. The difference between FUT and FUE, in FUT strip technique are used everytime, and in FUE technique for hair transplantation follicular units are used. FUE is less painful as compare to FUT. FUE and FUT both techniques are successful techniques.

I'll stick with the US doctors. I would never feel comfortable in some clinic in another country even the word clinic doesn't sit right with me . I'll go with a US doctor who has experience with an office and OR and malpractice insurance.

 

 

hairjoe, there are entity recommended docs outside US that seem to do great work as well? what about Dr Bhatti? Dr Feriduni? Don't you think they are as good as the docs in NY, but maybe the difference being the cost of the procedure?
