FUE After Strip Surgery
I had a few strip surgeries, decent results but still a bit thin for my liking. I have realistic expectations and don’t think I need that many more grafts to achieve satisfaction (about 500 3-hair grafts perhaps?), but I’m done with strip (my doc said I shouldn’t have any more and I wouldn’t want to anyway). My donor hair on sides and back is decent, not real thin or see-through. Given my thumbnail profile does it sound like FUE can get me to the promised land of being satisfied? Have you seen cases of other guys who could only get down to the 10 yard line with strip and FUE got them into the end zone? I know you’d have to examine me for a full and accurate assessment, but I would appreciate your best answer based on the info I have provided.
When the scalp is too tight, the only option to extract hair is by using the FUE technique. I have done some patients with FUE as the last option with good results, but it is very difficult to evaluate you without at least some photos (personal consultation is always best). Since you’ve indicated that you are in New York, I highly recommend that you contact my colleague Dr. Robert Bernstein in Manhattan at 1-866-576-2400.
