Why do very, very few hair transplant doctors offer the no shave FUE option (even when a small amount of grafts are harvested)?

FUE is a very technically challenging surgery.  It takes experience and sometimes special setup for long hair FUE.  Every case is different so you may want to meet with the doctor to ask these questions.Remember Long Hair FUE is only a harvesting technique.It has nothing to do with the end results.

This process is much more labor intensive and limits the number of grafts than can safely be harvested. It also makes it more difficult to uniformly and randomly distribute the punch sites-this can sometimes leave an unusual pattern if the hair is subsequently worn very short.

We offer non shaving FUE Hair restoration up to 2,500 - 3,000 grafts. 

With our Non-Shaving Hair Restoration option, the  patient does not have to shave their head to have a hair transplant. The
hair on the top of the head is left untouched and at normal length, and
only very small sections are clipped in the donor region, which are
then concealed by the patient’s existing hair keeping the procedure
fully concealed and hidden. 

With Dr. Baubac’s Non-Shaving sessions the patient can return to work
and every day activities immediately without people knowing that a hair
restoration has taken place.
