FUE Doctor Recommendation
I started my research on the fue procedure about six months ago and have come accross an organization known as DHI. My cousin had an fue transplant from them last year and recommended their work, their website is full of info and they have numerous locations. BUT, until I stumbled upon your website, I didnt know half the things I know now, for example the fact that a Doctor is best trained to perform such procedures and that one should look for endorcements from pioneers in the field. While browsing their section on what doctors say about their procedures, I found that your name was listed. PLEASE could you tell me if DHI is a good choice for my procedure, as after studying your credentials I graetly value your opinion. If I dont go with DHI, your organization will be next on my list. I thank you for your time in advance and will greatly appreciate your proffessional advice.
Thank you.
With regard to FUE, the field is still new and most of what I read/hear is through the advertising of particular doctors who promote FUE. From an insider point of view, I suspect some doctors who promote their skills in this area are not able to do a competent job at FUE, but I am not willing to name them because of possible slander issues and my lack of good solid information. This site is not put together to police the profession, but to give good advice to people like you on questions covering the entire range of subjects with regard to hair care. In searching out a doctor, you should always meet patients that they have done to be assured of the skills of that doctor. You would want to get good vibes on that doctor.
A while ago, I got a list of 500 patient references (source was a doctor who I knew was terrible and unethical). I picked up the phone and called the first 20 references that the doctor listed. Every one of the references (all had surgery with that medical group) told me horror story after horror story. I then realized that by publishing such a list, that particular doctor knew that few patients would make the effort to actually call these people and that the list of 500 references was enough to produce the credentials he wanted. This shows that when you do your research, you MUST follow the threads until you have clarity on the inquisition. This is a buyer’s market and as a buyer, please beware.
For information on FUE, please see:
Some 5-6 weeks ago, i had my first FUT procedure for about 1600 grafts that were harvested by removing a donor strip from the back of my head, but this time its not because my hair is thinning but to increase the facial hair density. I must say that i’m now very concerned since i begun seeing those infinitely many cases who had bad experciences with the donor scar visibility(detectibility) even at this early stage of my procedure. I would like to know the validity that successful FUE could be used to conceal the donor scar so that i can wear my hair short assuming that my scar is (2-3)mm wide and not raised plus that am a good candidate for FUE. Thanks
