hello, 

i was searching if my answers maybe was already answered but couldnt find anything hence this thread…

 

i read that you can harvest more hair if you start with an fut and then proceed with fue later, is that correct?

so i checked https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons

couldnt really find any surgeons who offer fut in europe and turkey? why is that? did i overlook someone?

 

best regards

I believe Karadeniz and Bicer offer FUT, or used to.

Not many Drs/Clinics are doing FUT these days, infact the numbers are dropping as each year passes. If you do find someone who is still performing it’s mostly going to be someone in the US. Yes Dr K might still do it on occasion, but I don’t believe Dr Bicer has done a FUT for quite some time, FUT scar revision yes.

H&W, Dr Bloxham, Hattingen always spring to mind when mentioning FUT, and some other Drs are occasionally doing combo Hts FUT/FUE at the same time ! Dr Bisanga and Medispa for example. 
Some Drs in Europe are achieving some very impressive results using FUE alone, Dr Zarev , @Dr. Felipe Pittella, Fuegenix, Eugenix, Heitmann @DrTBarghouthijust for some more examples. Beard grafts are used much more often now to boost FUE results (If needed) So it’s more than viable to get a very good amount of grafts and negate the need for a linear scar.

With how good FUE has gotten, I’d personally never consider an FUT for myself

You mean with FUT?  Theoretically yes, if you have lax scalp skin.  But unless your scalp skin is very lax, and with the success doctors are having with bodyhair and beard, I'd never consider the extra grafts were the long scar from FUT.  And people heal different when it comes to FUT scars.  Even if your Dr. is great, some people have a very noticeable scar at the end of the day.
