Regular Member brickellmoto Posted February 10, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2019 do they work? are the results as good as actually getting shaved? is it only donor or recipient or both? is this an actual thing that can be requested upon having a procedure? i feel like this would make recovery time way more manageable. anyone have any thoughts or experiences?

Senior Member home1212 Posted February 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'm actually seeking someone in the US that performs unshaven FUE - I know Gabel and Cooley have done it in the past. Contacted my original surgeon Rahal, and they require you shave down the area, which is not an option for me since I don't have that much time off work, of course the cost factor probably goes up as well since the procedure is more time consuming as well - hope others have had some experiences here to share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted February 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2019 A lot also depends on the size of the procedure...the larger the procedure, the more critical it becomes to have the areas buzzed down. Our donor supplies are limited and so avoiding transection is very important. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member AhmadF1284 Posted April 9, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 I would suggest looking for Dr. Otavio Boaventura who does a lot of long hair unshaven FUE or what they call Preview long hair. My guess is that the numbers ler session are lower so might need to do a more gradual approach. I think Dr. Parsa Mohebi in LA also does them. Best of luck!

Raphael84 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 @gillenatoras always puts it best. "Our donor supplies are limited and so avoiding transection is very important." Also there is a trade off of not being able to achieve the same density in a non shaven procedure. For sure it has its positives. In fact I think the vast majority of us would prefer to have non shaven procedure in regards to being able to conceal things that bit more post surgery. But the investment we make emotionally and financially into surgery definitely adds more positives to the shaven down side and the ultimate final result.

Regular Member AhmadF1284 Posted April 9, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2019 Ofcourse I do agree with the posts here that shaving down is definitely the better option imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
