Hair Transplant without having to shave my head? (photos)

FUE can be done without shaving the back of the head.If the hair is long enough a smaller zone of harvest area can be utilized and the longer hair above will cover this until the harvest area fully grows back.Or,multiple areas throughout the donor can be harvested by just trimming some of the hairs in that area.However this does limit the number of grafts that can be obtained to about 1200 or less.

Thanks to some recently developed techniques, and depending on the patient’s condition and suitability for certain techniques, the FUE procedure may be performed without shaving the hair at all.
 At our clinic, we offer three different FUE methods; FUE with shaven hair in which the hair is shaven in both the donor area and recipient areas, non-shaven FUE where the hair is shaven only in the extracted area and last, but not least the long hair FUE method without shaving the hair at all.
 In the long hair FUE procedure, the extraction portion of the surgery is executed with a specially designed surgical punch while the insertion or placement of the grafts is performed with the very specially designed KEEP (Koray Erdogan Embedding Placer) which I recently patented. With this method, the maximum number of units that can be transplanted in one surgery is 3000 grafts spread over 2 days of surgery.
