Dr Blake Bloxham Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi Toni, Can you share some images? That will likely help the community offer some advice. If you've already had FUT, you're likely better suited to continue down this route -- unless you really didn't want to do another strip harvest. The only caveat here is if you are "stripped out" after 2 FUTs and would now be better suited with a non-strip approach. Has the doctor that performed the last two FUTs had the chance to evaluate your donor and offer a recommendation? Look forward to your reply.

Dr Blake Bloxham Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi Toni, No problem! Definitely looks like the transplants worked. But I think you have a very fine hair. This is a double-edged sword: it creates a very soft, natural appearance, but it's also challenging to create density with these fine hairs. If you're suitable for both methods still, I'd likely recommend continuing with the FUT. You'll likely get out more grafts, and I would be somewhat concerned about the fragility of your follicles if you were to do the FUE route. Fine hairs usually mean finer, more fragile follicles, and these tend not to do as well with FUE. Remember, however, that I haven't had the chance to evaluate everything in person. So the in-person evaluation of a hair loss doctor would trump my online thoughts. But in review, you are probably likely still a candidate for both procedures; I think you would probably do better with FUT because it appears like it works for you, and I would be somewhat concerned that your follicles may not like the FUE process (and therefore wouldn't grow as well). Hope this helps! Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.
