FUE can be done over two days. For the larger sessions, some doctors do it this way. I’d follow-up with your surgeon about his/her recommendations.

I have always believed that less surgery is better than more surgery in people with more extensive balding patterns. If you can get 6,000 grafts in two sessions, why go for 6 sessions of 1000 grafts each? If the density and laxity allow for it, most of my patients prefer to have one larger session […]
We’re taking a week off from posting new content — our first break in almost 6 years — so we’re using this opportunity to repost some older articles that didn’t get the attention they deserved the first time around. (Originally published on October 17, 2006.) — Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has been in vogue with […]
I don’t know your medical history, you’re not my patient, and I didn’t prescribe you Propecia. Any one of those would be reason enough to make me uncomfortable giving you personalized medical advice about your prescription drug regimen. You should discuss any changes with your medication with your doctor. That being said, Propecia might not […]
This is a long piece, so I’m breaking it up into 2 separate parts. Here’s part 1, with the 2nd part coming at the same time tomorrow… There are practical problems with the FUE2 method of harvesting. First, the patient must have his hair clipped widely if he wants/needs extensive grafting above 600-800 grafts (the […]
A patient came to see me last week asking about multiple, short Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures for his frontal hairline, eventually totaling 1400 grafts. He is a busy attorney and wants to have his hairline restored, but did not have the time to get it done. He went to a doctor who told him […]
I really cannot tell you what is to be expected and what is poor or good growth without examining you. Not being your doctor puts me at a great disadvantage. It seems you are in good communication with your physician and I would recommend that you follow up with that doctor. Sometimes the full growth […]
1 Year After FUE – Parted 1 Year After FUE – Shaved At the point where the follicular units are removed, there may be small punctate scars, but not at the recipient site, as the skin is trimmed once the grafts are outside the body. The skin disc that was removed in the FUE […]
There is much on this blog about FUE and I would suggest that you take a look at the FUE category to see what I wrote here in great abundance. Follicular Unit Transplantation was first introduced by our medical group, not Dr. Limmer, but with that said, Dr. Limmer made wonderful contributions on the value […]
Dr. Woods (in Australia) probably is doing something like what I published in 2002 and called Follicular Unit Extraction. He kept what he was doing very secret, whereas I always publish my advances as I prove and document them for the world to see. As such, Dr. Woods promoted what he was doing on the […]
FUE in the 1500 graft range is a big procedure. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a procedure you must be careful of when considering a hair transplant. A graft removed by FUE has a risk of being damaged when it is extracted. That damage can come from: grafts that have many transected hairs when they […]
I have performed the FOX Procedure (Follicular Unit Extraction / FUE) on many wavy/curly hair patients with great success. After shaving the hair down to a short buzz cut, most hairs will stand straight and show their angle as they exist in the skin. I will harvest the hair to the exact angle where the […]
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 […]
You are referring to the news item from April on the FOX Procedure, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. This is a technique that I introduced in the medical literature in the summer of 2001, and published in 2002 in an article titled Follicular Unit Extraction: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Hair Transplantation. The […]
In an article I wrote in the August Issue of the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery (2002), a new Procedure for hair transplantation was introduced which can be performed without a traditional surgical incision. The healing time is clearly reduced and the risks of surgical scarring are practically eliminated. This type of surgery is particularly useful […]
