I generally tell my patients that if you have an advanced balding pattern or expect to have a hair transplant, then the strip surgery is a better surgery for harvesting. Large amounts of FUE grafts can produce a see-through donor area if too many grafts are harvested

I’m confused why people even consider FUE. FUT has clearly shown to be able to extract more follicles from the safe zone and have a higher survival rate. Our limiting factor is the number of hair follicles we have. So besides an unsightly scar (which we can wear our hair long to hide), why FUE […]
There is a question arising out of the hair transplant community which is becoming polarized and lining up for a fight: Which is better, FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant with Strip) or FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)? Some doctors have already specialized in performing FUE alone, so their opinion is already made up. Some doctors new to […]
Is fut better if somebody is willing to do multiple surgeries throughout their life? Or is fut preferable in that case? Thanks. It makes no difference for lifetime hair transplants if you go to FUE or FUT
I am a 35 years old male, Been losing my hair in the last few years, and been cutting it short, I do like the shaved look and when my hair is completely shaved my hair loss is not very apparent. I am now at a point that I am thinking either to fully accept […]
Hair transplants work very well when you are balding. I had hair transplants for my crown, and no one knows unless I told them. I performed hair transplants on 6 relatives, including my wife and daughter-in-law, and they were all happy with them. There is a balance between your concerns about balding and your sense of […]
If you trust your doctor then go with it! The Internet is not a place to receive a second opinion. If you would like a second opinion it is best to consult with another doctor in person. Photo(s) are not a good way to determine if you are balding or if you “need” surgery for […]
This is a photo of a female patient who had a hair line lowering and rounding hair transplant surgery. This is sometimes known as forehead reduction surgery. *CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTO This patient did not like her square high forehead with receded corners. She thought her hair line looked too masculine. She considered a forehead […]
Dr. Pak was an engineer working with me (Dr. Rassman) in the mid 1990s before he went off to medical school to be a doctor . We worked to invent a system or robot which would use cameras and special optical sighting system to target a hair follicle to automatically take out a follicle using the FUE technique. This […]
This comes from prominent New York hair transplant surgeon, Dr. Michael Beehner: We wrote about Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) vs Strip (FUT) nearly two years ago: FUE vs FUT — Which is Better? When you look at a follicular unit, you will see all of the anatomical parts that are traditionally created from a strip […]
It is not all about numbers. You need a doctor who understands the progression of your hair loss — how to address future hair loss along with present hair loss. You need a plan rather than just thinking of short term goals. Each and every patient is different, with different needs and different hair loss […]
I received a question from a patient after an extensive meeting (over an hour) about the options of FUE vs strip (FUT) procedures, and he asked which of the newer FUE systems was best. He was particularly confused by the promotions of the ARTAS and Neograft systems. That prompted me to start writing. I’ve split […]
“It ain’t so!” I suppose your donor area can look patchy with little white dot scars if you have 3000+ FUE grafts extracted. This occurs when your original density was average or less than average. People with high density hair often will not show the white scars (dots) at all. Even with 1000 FUE grafts, […]
Either technique (FUT or FUE) can produce the density you may need. The choice of harvesting should include: The doctor and his/her skills The quantity of grafts needed The costs (usually FUE is more expensive that FUT) Either technique can produce great densities and hundreds of these can be seen on our website here.
If you use a Macro-lens on your cell phone (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S5YPPQX?pf_rd_p=ab873d20-a0ca-439b-ac45-cd78f07a84d8&pf_rd_r=CCSSMZGDS79G6AG31TT9) or purchase a digital hand microscope from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Microscope-Magnification-microscope-Compatible-Microscope/dp/B08HX42NCB/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=hand+microscope&qid=1634397365&sr=8-6), you can take a look at your donor area and calculate your donor density and your total available grafts or hairs for hair transplants for your lifetime. The key to getting photos like the ones shown […]
