More and more patients are getting FUE by doctors or non-physicians that just don’t understand how to manage the donor area (photos). These photos keep coming to my inbox from all over the world. Who is to blame? Well the patient must take part of the blame for not doing their proper research and the doctors […]

This man had too many grafts removed from his donor area leaving him with a see-through donor area that clearly stands out with this hair length. He will have to either grow his hair long, or fill it in with Scalp Micropigmentation. This could have been avoided with careful planning, understanding the original donor density […]
I got the surgery done, 2500 grafts, at a top US surgeon 2.5 months ago. So far hair has grown in around the edges, but not in the majority of the center. I’ve been on fin for 4 months. Is this considered normal? I didn’t do ACell/PRP. You need to wait this out. You will […]
I got this set of photos from a group of doctors who share information with each other. It shows an FUE that was performed with a large punch. I wouldn’t call it an FUE as it gives the reference to FUE a bad smell. These grafts contain 5-7 hairs each, typical of the use of […]
Hair direction after any hair transplant (FUE or FUT) is controlled by the surgeon. Sometimes the surgeon doesn’t put the graft in the correct position and when that happens the hair grows as he planted it (wrongly if he put them in that way). I see this more commonly that one would think because not […]
I’m 31 years old. Last year people really started to notice my hair loss… I recently discovered FUE. I expect my hairline to further recede as I age. What age should I wait to – if I should wait – to start to seriously consider FUE (or similar measures)? Hair transplants come in two flavors […]
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 […]
This man either had (1) too many grafts taken from his donor area, (2) a lower than normal donor density unable support the FUE he received, (3) very fine hair that could not over his donor area after his FUE was Done of (4) the surgeon used a large punch. Patients believe that FUE is […]
Would you extract hair outside the safe zone, right at the lowest point of the nap if the patient said he knew it may not last but wanted a more even looking donor area, post-extraction? I would argue with the patient in his favor, explaining two elements of using neck hair, (1) neck hair is […]
You can have a hair cut within 2 weeks of your FUE
I have an appointment at Dr XXX’s office today, and I’m wondering why people always recommend FUE? His office tells me than FUE has a lower graft survival rate and leaves the back of the head looking thin. I think I’d rather have a tiny linear scar on the back than a less dense donor […]
I generally agree with this analysis; however, I believe that for men with an advanced balding pattern and a finer hair and particularly those with a lower than average donor density (which includes a lot of Asian men), the FUT is a superior procedure because it avoids the moth eaten appearance which is inevitable with […]
You have been over-harvested with FUE, something I have been discussing here on my site with too much frequency. By too much, I mean that too many doctors don’t understand the limits of FUE as I defined in a published article here: https://baldingblog.com/2017/07/21/many-fue-grafts-many-fues-grafts-one-know-safe-limits/ The best treatment for this is Scalp MicroPigmentation which, although it is not […]
Yes, the donor area may have been over-harvested. Another problem is the harvested area is higher than the permanent hair in the donor area. This suggests the possibility of a long term growth problem if your balding pattern advances further back. The number of FUE grafts that can be taken depends upon your donor density […]
What you are seeing is terrible post-operative care which has allowed thick crusts to form on your head and then crack. An FUE is treated just like a regular hair transplant with regard to the recipient area while the donor area has open wounds which require daily washing with soap and water. Within 3 days of […]
