I just had a fue done, 1800 grafts, I awoke to 2 technicians finishing the implanting. I'm assuming the doctor did the harvesting and punctures but is this common practice? Should I ask him what part he played exactly in my procedure? He came very highly recommended and has impeccable reviews.
Answer: HT The answer changes depending on the clinic you got the treatment. Some technicians are trained to play a part during the whole procedure. The information of your operation should be given to you before hands.

Answer: FUE Delegation In our practice the physician performs all of the extractions and graft placement, but this is not the norm. Legally in the US, physicians should be performing all of the FUE extractions, and at a minimum perform the incisions for graft placement. Many clinics use technicians to place the grafts into pre-made incisions, so what you experienced sounds both normal and legal.

Answer: Is it common for physicians to place grafts The answer is no, it is uncommon for physicians to place grafts, especially all of them. Most facilities rely on technicians to hand place grafts in premed surgical slits completed by the physician.

Answer: Is it common during a FUE procedure for technicians to do the some/all of the implanting? In my clinic I do all - extraction and implantation as well. I use implanters and technicians only load the tools. I know in other clinics technicians insert follicles and it is common.
