Looking for the best non-shaving FUT docs

[carlc1979]

Hi!

 

I have been debating this for a while, but I am ready to go forward with my second FUT.

 

However, shaving the recipient area is out of question for me for social and professional reasons. I can take 2-3 weeks off max and I can't afford anyone noticing the intervention. Keeping my hair longer on the crown and forehead will help hide the post-op signs. I think I would need about 1500 grafts on the front and the same amount on the crown.

 

I know some physician are now willing to do a non-shaving technique and it sounds like results are similar to HT done with shaving the recipient area. I understand that given the added complexity, I might have to pay a small premium in terms of price.

 

Anyone who has had a non-shaving FUT who could help me find a physician who has had good results using this technique?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Cooley has produced some nice non shave results recently. Alexander too. I don't know if Konior does, I don't believe H+W will, and I think SMG is flexible. Can't speak for any others.

And do you think results would be similar to a shaved technique ?

Cooley indeed has some excellent before/after pics:

Cooley seems quite comfortable wth this approach on certain candidates. I would consult with as many names as you can.

 

There's others but here's one: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/181923-dr-cooley-unshaven-fuss-4289-nw5.html

Anyone here who had experience with Cooley and could provide feedback from his non-shaving technique ?

Hello Carlc1979,

 

As already mentioned by some of the members, Dr. Cooley does not require shaving the recipient area for his procedures, as has always been the case. You should contact the office and we can provide you with not only additional photographic documentation but contact information for a few former clients as well.
