Senior Member hoose Posted July 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2008 I think most clinics won't mess with under 1000 grafts--I think that is usually the minimum today; why only 200 grafts?--that will make a miniscule cosmetic differance anyway; 1000 grafts is considered small and usually only for touch-ups/to add density.

Senior Member Hairtechnician Posted July 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dr. Keene in Tucson does not have a minimum. You would need to be assessed to determine if you are a candidate for surgery and what it would take to achieve your goals. Have a good evenining!

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted July 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sounds like FUE may very well be optimal for your situation if that is really the graft # appropriate for you; this might not jive as much with your concern of cost, however, as opposed to strip/FUT. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Senior Member HairDew Posted July 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2008 Dr. Feller has a "lunch time" special 200 grafts or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted July 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 FUE looks like your best bet, and I'd say 250-500 grafts would cover that spot. definitely contact dr.feller.

Senior Member Arrie Posted July 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 JW34 I know that Bspot has been posting about Dr. Ron Shapiro doing small FUE sessions that start at 200 grafts for around $1,000. It would be interesting to see what choice you make, good luck. You only live once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Alan Feller Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hairthere is correct. Looks more like a 300-500 graft job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jw34 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 Dr. Feller would be a ideal choice, but i would rather not fly across the country for this small of a job propecia .5mg 7x revita shampoo 5x multi vitamin 7x saw palmetto 7x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Hairtechnician Posted July 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 Probably your best bet is to take a look at the doctors in your vicinity that are listed on this forum and give them a call to find out if they will fill in a small scar. My guess is most would. Either the strip technique or the FUE should leave minimal scarring in the donor area since it will be a small amount of donor. Niether is a scarless procedure. There are pros and cons for each.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted July 9, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2008 If we had a 1000 graft minimum then there would be some ladies walking around Vancouver with some seriously "fro'ed" eyebrows The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
