Regular Member tstan Posted February 7, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm very impressed by the photos I see of Dr Feller's patients. He seems to achieve results with 2000 grafts that other doctors achieve with 3500-5000 grafts. Is Feller offering the best value around? (No I don't work for him!)

Regular Member tstan Posted February 9, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am not asking rhetorically. I would like to know from the community whether Feller is most economical or if there are other skilled doctors offering similar results for the same money.

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted February 9, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2009 Actually Feller raised his prices . I would just call the top clinics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member latinlotus Posted February 10, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2009 His yield is comparable to the other top doctors from the Coalition. However, i would agree with you if you compare dr. Feller's results to some of those low yield FUE result from a certain infamous FUE doctor. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own.

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted February 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2009 As of now there is only one clinic I would even consider for fue if its over 1000 grafts and that would be BHR clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Leeson Posted February 26, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2009 The only experience I've had w/ FUE was Cole and would rather try operating on myself, rather than going to him again!

Dr. Alan Feller Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Here is a link to one of my 1,000 FUE patients in whom I rebuilt his entire hairline. There is also a video of his results posted in that link. http://hair-restoration-info.c...683/m/6081032753/p/1 Yield is the key when in comes to FUE because the grafts can so easily be damaged. There are three reasons for this and they all relate to unique forces that act on the FUE during removal: 1. Torsion 2. Traction 3. Compression Any clinic that pays particular attention to minimizing these three forces during FUE procedures will have consistenly higher yields than clinics that don't. To address these three forces I have invented tools and protocols that have successfully reduced the destructive effect of these forces and have enjoyed good to great FUE results for these efforts.

Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Glenn If you have made the decision to have FUE, Dr. Feller has consistently provided example after example of his FUE work; not only his immediate postoperative results, but most importantly, the long term grown out patients. Also, I agree that the punches that he developed are far superior to other "standard" punches. He put a considerable amount of time into the mechanical and engineering development of an instrument that extracts the follicles with the least amount of trauma then several other punches I have used. In fact, I have several FUE cases coming up and those are the only punches I use at this point. So the bottom line is: do your research: if you decide on Dr. Feller, your in great hands.
