Regular Member Lenny Posted January 16, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm thinking of starting with just a small amount of graft (400), just to see if this works for me and I like it, and then maybe in 6 months or a year do a large amount. What do you think of this approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted January 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hmmm. Whether or not it works for you really shouldn't be even the slightest concern -- *assuming* you go to an elite clinic (e.g. a Coalition Doc). 400 grafts, like you mentioned, really won't do much; that is, it won't make an appreciable difference if you have legitimate balding or thinned areas. 400 grafts, when done, is probably best to be done "FUE" -- as opposed to "strip", or FUT -- and done for minor refinement type sessions. Generally, you want to have to go through as few sessions as possible while achieving the maximum number of grafts. Sometimes this can't be done for financial reasons, or if a clinic is no comfortable exceeding a certain number of grafts....the latter of which, shouldn't be a real issue if you go to a top doc. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2008 Lenny, I would highly recommend you dont do 400 grafts. it really isnt worth the trouble or result. Instead I would research some more, meet patients, and get the fact before making a decision. As far if it is right for you, we cannot decide that but if you want your hair back, it can be the right thing with the right doctor and expectations.

Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
