I have been using colored dry shampoo to hide my hair loss for 5 years and I am tired of the mess. I am ready to get a FUE hair transplant. I am guessing I am a 5/6 with an excellent donor area to pull from. I believe that Turkey is my best bet for getting a FUE transplant, but my wife refuses to let me go to Turkey. Does anyone know of reasonably priced Dr's that are good at doing FUE megasessions with transferring 4000+ Grafts? My hair is long on the sides to use as a combover.
Answer: Is there an American doctor reasonably priced to do a FUE mega session of 4000 grafts or more? Hello: Large mega sessions are driven by a patient's desire to have "one and done" hair restoration surgery. No one can predict future hair loss 100%. Over harvesting of donor, limits the use of donor hair to address future loss and does not allow for corrections if necessary. My training in facial plastic surgery taught me a respect for tissue and that surgery causes trauma to the body. A 4,0000 graft FUE would potential mean 8,000 incisions and excisions. At 1mm each, that is a lot of trauma. The percentage of grafts that survive would be lower than the survival rate of smaller FUE cases. In other words, more hair grafts will die with a mega session. There is known adage: "You get what you pay for." It is important for a patient to view hair loss as any other disease process. You need to follow up with your surgeon after surgery and develop a continued relationship of trust and guidance. I believe that independent physicians dedicated to hair restoration medicine fit this model best. If cost becomes the main variable, you might end up with less in the long run. Good luck.
