Anyone have FUE results with Dr. Bloxham?


Recommended Posts

It will be difficult because his clinic offers FUT to all their patients. From my understanding, they will only do FUE on a few select cases. For FUE specifically you may want to consider Dr. Mwamba who is performing surgery in New Jersey, he’s specifically an FUE surgeon.

He does do it sometimes I believe, but he's very pro FUT and fairly anti FUE overall, so he doesn't do that much of it. As a result, I agree that you should probably consider someone else for FUE - he's simply not going to have the same experience or hours put in with this technique as other doctors will, so it wouldn't make sense imo.

So I have done 2 FUT procedures with Dr. Bloxham and will do my 3rd FUT with him this summer, covering my scalp front to back. However, I want to do around ~2,000 FUE afterwards to cover the corners/temples of my hairline and fill the FUT scar. Does it make sense to do FUE with another surgeon, or just continue with Dr. Bloxham since he's the one who's worked on me?

I think Bloxham is a great  surgeon for FUT. I think it’s fair to say he doesn’t perform FUE enough to be considered a specialist. If you’re dead set on FUE, I would go to an FUE specialist. Someone who performs FUE daily and has a large portfolio.

I can go to any FUE clinic in USA, so please give me recommendations for the best FUE surgeons (USA only)!!

Konior, Gabel, Josephitis, Shapiro, True and Dorin, Mwamba, Diep, Mohebi to name a few. 

Here’s our full list of recommendations, feel free to research them and look at their FUE results. You can also use our links to submit virtual consultations.

Yes for my 4th procedure, it will have to be FUE since my scalp will no longer have the laxity to continue doing FUT. I will basically have done 3 FUT procedures with Dr. Bloxham. Do you have recommendations for top FUE surgeons in USA? I plan to do the 4th procedure around January of 2023.

OK. Since you have already been a patient of Dr Bloxham I would simply ask him what he thinks of FUEing the scar and if he has done that before and does he have any pictures he can show you. That's the first place to start. Then if you aren't happy with his FUE answers or past work then start looking elsewhere for FUE.

He’s a young and knowledgeable guy, and has knocked out some impressive FUT results, but unfortunately having had the grumpy dinosaur that is Feller as his mentor, it’s inevitably left him behind in the dark ages when it comes to his mentality and perception with regards to FUE
 

Konior in the US or Hasson in Canada are the only North American surgeons who I see regularly putting out good FUE results. 
 

If you’re open to it, book a flight to Europe . . Spain or Belgium, to be specific.

How many grafts in total would you have had after the third fut?

A little over 5,000 for me. Some people might have better donor hair and can probably get 6,000 grafts with 3 procedures.

No, I only have one scar. They make each subsequent incision along the same scar.

Oh so they just go down a bit from the original scar and make it larger instead of creating 3 separate scars apart? How many grafts you assume you have left? Fut gives you more donor later so was just curious. But I get keloid scars easily so I don’t want to risk that

There is a FUE result on here by bloxham and on YouTube. It looks very very good. I think he's capable of doing it when he wants to. It's not a difficult surgery.

I also think since he's so skeptical of fue graft quality to begin with, he would put extra care in handling the grafts in fue cases.

I think its best to research those who specialize in FUE exlusivly for best results, (if you are set for FUE only). I mean, it's like going to a restaurant that specializes in pasta & ordering foreign cousine. Sure they can make it, charge you double for it, & who knows if it will be same as place that only prepares that type of food.
