Senior Member HairLostYears Posted September 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) i'm going left FUT and right FUE Why? Because I think the guy on the left will need more lifetime grafts so you decided to go FUT first to obtain those This was my first thought too. Maybe guy on right has more or less stabilized with meds so FUE up front will keep him happy for a while. Guy on left might desire to go au naturel (as far as drugs anyway), so will need a lot more other help.

hairtoday-gonetomorrow Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I will guess the left is FUT and the right is FUE. The right looks to be packed with more density to offset the lower yield with FUE. If Dr. Fellers average yield numbers are correct, the patient with 75% yield in the FUE proceedure and grafts packed more densely would get about the same result as the patient with the grafts packed less densely and a 98% yield with the FUT.

Senior Member HairJo Posted September 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2015 I am really not sure on this one but I'll go with the one one the left is an HT and the one on the right seems to be the Fue. It's because I see the one on the left has more area done with the same amount of grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NoTakeBacks Posted September 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hmmm...I'm going to throw in my $.02 and try in a completely different direction. What has me wondering are the marked transplant areas. The actual FUs transplanted on the left descend PAST the areas marked off. Possibly a result of additional grafts available in the strip? Whereas on the right you can see there is an area marked further back into the native hair that was not touched. Also, there is a shaved/bald area towards said native hair where no FUs seem to have been implanted. Is it possible the remainder of the procedure had to wait or be stopped? Or rather it needed to be split into two sittings/procedures? FUT left, FUE right. (Also part of me wants to say FUE to both, just to be contrary and that it was a trick question all along!)

Senior Member newbie33 Posted September 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2015 No idea. In the immediately post-op pics, the one on the right looks more densely packed. That might suggest 'healthier' FUT grafts as they may not require as much blood supply to survive and grow. But difficult to see from the grown-out pictures which had better yield/result as the hairstyles are different.

Just like some prefer the play station or the xbox. I hope Dr Feller presents some grown out MFUE's showing great results. Even better, when he presents his papers on MFUE in the IHRS conferences people will realise the technique is not a 'gimmick' Yaz the original Asmed patient (2013) 2400 FUE grafts October 2013 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/172963-my-journey-hair-transplant-dr-koray-erdogan-2400-grafts-prp-08-10-2013-a.html 2490 grafts April 2016 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/183247-dr-koray-erdogan-asmed-april-13th-2016-2490-grafts-total-4892-grafts.html Propecia since October 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Alan Feller Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 FUT on the left FUE on the right Because the grafts from the FUE were thin from skeletonization I had to make smaller recipient slits. I also packed it closer together to make up for expected drop in yield, which did happen. Because the grafts from the FUT were nice and chubby, I just made the slits normal distance from each other as I usually do. Normal growth yield.

Senior Member KO Posted September 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2015 Dr Feller - could you comment on why you use the grid-placement of the grafts? Non-NA doctors don't seem to necessarily favour either method. They just react to demand. They don't, from what I can tell, attempt to hard-sell any particular method on their patients. Feriduni, Bisanga, etc. will do FUT or FUE for the same job. I'd be curious whether they quote more grafts if you opt for FUE though. Completely untrue, Bisanga in particular. Biology works the same way in Europe as it does in the USA. Btw, ask Bisanga if he disagrees with Feller on the pros and cons of FUE. I think we all know where Dr B will stand. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
