So I did a lot of research on hair transplants a few years ago and decided that FUE was the way to go and FUT was an outdated method. I even read topics of people calling it "barbaric".
I finally decided to meet some good doctors for a consultation and I was a little surprised one of them actually strongly recommended doing a FUT operation.
First doctor was Dr. Feriduni. He said that my donor wasn't very great, as my hair is very thin. Because my hairloss is pretty advanced, he suggested going with a higher hairline and 2000 grafts (FUE), possibly adding MHP to fill in the gaps.
Second doctor was Dr. ********. He said the exact same thing about my hair being thin. He actually suggested a combination of both FUT (3000) and FUE (1500), for fuller coverage. His argument was that only doing the FUE would be "doing it half-assed".
From what I gathered in the past, both doctors are very highly praised in the community. I am a little torn on what to do now. Dr. ******** told me the scar would be very minimal, but I'm so brainwashed by what I read on this forum a while ago that I never could see myself doing a FUT.
What do you guys think? Has technology advanced? Does FUT really have advantages that FUE doesn't have? I always thought that FUT was just an easier/more primitive way of doing a transplant?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
