Well I come from a family of doctors, most of my siblings are not going bald & even my father has more hair on the front then me. It's depressing naturally. I have decided to do a FUE Transplant, don't want a linear scar incase I shave my head in years to come with no other choice left. I used rogaine 2 & 5 percent, had tachycardia and dropped it. Have a fair complexion, hair loss looks well defined on it. Going for the horseshoe pattern. Cannot risk Finasteride. Upset & need counseling on FUE.

Answer: FUE in young patients There are two procedural aspects to hair transplantation. One is the harvesting of the grafts from the donor area and the other is the design, distribution and placement of the units into the recipient area. These are two different aspects. FUT and FUE only refer to the harvesting technique from the donor area and have nothing to do with the recipient area aspect of transplantation. The recipient areas technique is based mostly on the surgical, experience and artistic skills of the physician.Basically, in Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), the hair for relocation is obtained by surgically excising a strip of hair bearing skin from the donor region of the scalp. The skin edges of this wound are then sutured closed. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a revival of the old punch technique obtaining donor hair with a small circular cutting instrument. These punches are used to harvest follicular units one at a time from the donor area. Each harvest or extraction creates a small circular scar. The difference is with the strip you get a continuous linear scar, whereas with punches you get discontinuous, round circular scars. You get a better Yield with FUT technique because one can see the follicles when excising the strip also with the newest method of harvesting in FUT it is almost impossible to detect the line if that is your main concern. whereas in FUE it's a blind extraction from the skin. Due to the blind extraction, there may be damage to the hair follicle and also collateral damage to the surrounding hairs. Therefore, it is likely that when hair is transplanted to the recipient area in case of FUE technique some of the hairs be damaged and therefore either not growin or grow thinner. Also if the hair is not harvested from any where but the safe donor zone, the chances are those hair will be lost in the near future and are not permanent. Issues to consider is if you alphabet curly hair, if you are planing to shave your head, if your hair loss is progressive, if you need more than one procedure, if you are young, if you have limited donor area, if you need a larger hair transplant session, and if you seek the best result in the recipient area. These pros and cons should be discussed in detail before making a decision as to which harvesting technique is best for the patient before the procedure.
