Senior Member Hair4Days Posted July 5, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Anyone who underwent a FUT procedure with Dr. Bloxham? I Am close to scheduling with him unless my indecisive self changes my mind. What were your overall thoughts? how are your results? what was your game plan? Grafts, frontal band? Crown? thanks in advanced! Edited July 5, 2020 by James C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member russtaman Posted July 6, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2020 Is a FUT really what you want? That scar ear to ear is no joke. Plenty of FUE docs are out there that are top-tier that may be able to help you. Bloxham seems to do sound work via FUT but FUE is a no go there IMO. I did not have good results at that practice but that was back when it was Feller only. Early 2000's Got a badly stretched scar twice from 2 FUTs at that practice that resulted in a 3rd procedure and a failed attempt of FUE into the scar there as well. "0" growth occurred. Felt completely dismissed by the practice as a previous patient of 3 procedures upon return there last year for help. I was actually questioned twice as to if I had a procedure at another clinic since the scar looked very stretched and the hair was sparse. Was eventually simply told my physiology was to blame but was offered a procedure again at $6/graft via FUE as a "we are sorry" approach from what I gathered...went to True/Dorin instead after the debacle. FUE into scar at True/Dorin was a success. Hoping to finish up at True/Dorin but Covid is screwing everything up. Just be careful OP. I think Bloxham is doing very good FUT just to be clear, but that was my experience at the practice. You can imagine the fallout I have experienced over the years. Don't be another case like mine. Choose wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choose wisely. Thank you for sharing your experience. As for Fut over fue, correct me if I’m wrong.. Fut first following fue yields the most lifetime grafts according to dr bloxham. I would obviously rather have fue scarring over a strip, however i seem to be diffusing into an advanced Norwood pattern and would hate to run out of grafts by starting with fue. I’m stuck between the great results i see from dr Bloxham’s YouTube channel & also great Fue result with less scar. Tough boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough boat Yes that is correct as far as yield…but understand, that practice is really FUT above all. I find them antiquated in their approach but that is my opinion. It was valid in the early 2000's but more and more FUE is proving its worth. Feller has a history of talking down about FUE and Bloxham is his protégée so to speak. Do the math there.... If you search my name you can see my posts that indicate my story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown? thanks in advanced! I'm in a similar situation to you too, teetering on the edge of committing to a procedure with Dr. Bloxham. I think that from a technical perspective, Dr. Bloxham is at an elite level. He has a lot of documentation of his scars, from average to best case scenario and they're all exceptional. I also think his dense packing technique is top level. All of his work is extremely refined. My only concern is whether he has the artistry and subtlety of elites like Doctors Hasson and Wong, especially for hairline design where I'm not sure there's a substitute other than years and years of experience. Keep in mind also, his cost/graft is even higher than Hasson&Wong Edited July 6, 2020 by ADuckwithNoHair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned previously Feller-Bloxham are FUT specialists/promoters.....................to every hammer the problem is a nail........H&W are doing both at an elite level and you'll get a patient led solution between these options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
