Ancien Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm a 32 year old, Norwood type 5/6, and fairly set on getting an FUT transplant in January. I had an FUT procedure back in 2012, which wasn't great by any measure, but it gave me the traces of a hairline that I'm comfortable with in terms of its placement, but it needs *serious* strengthening. And of course I've lost a lot more hair since 2012. I'm hoping for around 3k grafts in the front 1/3 to 1/2 of the top of my head. I can post photos if it would be helpful. Any similarly situated patients of either Diep or Gabel who'd care to share their experiences? Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer. My priorities are (1) a safe and careful procedure, and (2) hair density! I get bad headaches, which worsened somewhat after my first HT. So, it's really important to me to work with a conscientious physician, who will take care to avoid things like a scar which extends too far into the temporal region. I was deeply reassured by my conversation with Dr. Gabel. He seems like an incredibly thoughtful doctor. On the other hand, I'm also really impressed by the videos Diep has shared of his patients' results. Diep's photos/videos are some of the most remarkable I've seen. So any thoughts would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member optimus Posted November 18, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2018 I had my FUE transplantation done with Dr. Gabel. You can find my experience in my signature link. One thing i like about Dr. Gabel is he extracts not some but all of the follicles by himself and he is present and even implants many of the follicles himself. He is extremely careful and thinks about the future like how it is going to be after a decade and plans the HT. Overall, I am happy with how things went so far with Dr. Gabel.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 18, 2018 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2018 They’re both great surgeons, with a wealth of results online. I personally went to Dr. Diep, but also met with Dr. Gabel before and he is an excellent choice, as well. Choose whoever you feel more comfortable with and best suits your needs.
