FUE or FUT strip surgery for hairline refinement? (Photos)

May 10, 2018
Asked By:Zanyo12 in Chicago, IL

Four hair transplant surgeries in the early 90’s. Looking to refine my hairline. I met with two doctors and one said FUE, (500) the other said either FUE or strip. On one hand I wouldn’t want strip if it would yield little hair due to past graphs. On the other hand FUE might give me a mothball look. At this point I am confused. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I don’t want to make a wrong decision. I should mention I have a very tight scalp, perhaps due to past surgeries.

Answer: FUE is just a harvesting method. It does not relate to results. If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE
