They are located in Fort Lauderdale, Florda and do the FUT method.

OP wants to go for a FUE. I can’t say I have ever seen a single result on this forum or others. Where are these specialist results found? Anyway some solid choices above.

OP do you mind sharing some pictures? Dr. Umar is another surgeon you may want to consider, he has a vast experience with afro hair as well.

Ola you are doing the right thing by researching forums and reviews. You asked for a recommendation and I just simply gave you my opinion of one. The ones you listed are all great. I'm sure they will all have good and bad reviews(you can't please everyone) Just be sure to first get a biopsy to make sure that your hairloss is traction alopecia. Be sure to ask about the experience of the technicians for they are the ones who would be extracting the graphs whether it be the FUE or FUT method. Research before and after photos as well. Good luck on your hair journey.

A FUE procedure involves the individual extraction of hair follicles, which are then transplanted elsewhere on the scalp, while a FUT procedure involves removing a long strip of the scalp, separating the follicles, and then transplanting them. They preform the FUT method which is also the "Strip method"

Follicular unit transplantation uses follicular units. They do not harvest follicular units. They use minigrafts.

What does FUT stand for?

I know what it stands for, but the primary difference between the two is the way in which hair follicles are extracted from the donor area.. 

You’re referring to strip surgery. Prior to FUT, minigrafts were harvested via strip. It wasn’t until the 2000s that refined follicular unit grafting became popular, and this forum was at the forefront in those early days.

I think you meant minigrafts were harvested via strip lol. They were not harvested by FUT, obviously. But we use those terms so synonymously these days that the mistake is natural

I wouldn't go to Natural hair transplant I've had one by the other fort lauderdale guy guy in  supposedly 10k 11k hairs but definitely got like 1000 grafts or less and bad mini grafts barely coverage. I will post my pre op and post op pics once I go on a second ht will start a thread soon.

And I got a free fut from doctor on the bag based on me calling them out on ammount of hairs ect or cheaper but I know I won't get great coverage if I go fut with them again. I did consult in person with Dr konior since I have the scar i wanted a fut but he recommended FUE.

also seeing nadimi soon also in person but guessing will suggest fue as well. Anyway this is for a different thread and topic since I'm thinking of going oversees maybe depending on my consults.

You can also search them on youtube. natural hair transplant.

yes does alot of afro hair I've seen girls mainly one in particular mad about the results and talks about them also did a bad review and dr convinced her it was her fault or something and changed her review which she regreted later look it up.

but the coverage needs 2 3 HT for just hairline temple work and hardly see good results from none afro hair due to mimi grafts. I feel you won't get great coverage with them and will need a second fut from them. if they did refined grafting I feel maybe they can be a good clinics but they don't care to take the time like doctors should in making good incision sites also implanting them themself from what I've seen afro hair is easier to work with and hides many gaps due to curly thickness if I'm not mistaking compare to say fine thin hair like mine. But also seen afro hair with thin donor zones getting bad results .

Melvin is right multiple like 2 3 blade scappels to make it seem u got alot of strips of tissue from donor and dr doesn't use magnification When doing incisions just by the eye also very fast surgery like 3 4 maybe 5 hours depending how long you spend talking to them before getting in the chair drawing hairline questions ect.
