Best FUE Hair Transplant Surgeon – THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING THE RIGHT DOCTOR

FUE, or follicular unit extraction is today’s most sophisticated hair transplant method. It requires the harvest of follicular units one at a time from the donor area. If a patient needs an FUE hair transplant of 10,000 grafts, every one of those is removed individually. This is in stark opposition to excising a strip of flesh, as strip harvesting does, and makes FUE an advanced method by nature.

This protocol also makes it a long, labor-intensive, and tedious process that obliges a surgeon to have matchless patience and a sturdy skill; particularly bearing in mind that the FDA considers each FUE extraction a surgical procedure which must be performed only by the surgeon, or other equally qualified person. The best FUE hair transplant surgeon will be able to ensure the veracity of each graft while minimizing transection rates, incidences of graft burial, and scarring. The excision of viable grafts is pivotal in creating high long-term graft survival rates, with maximum yield and density.

The technical aspect of surgery takes graft integrity and graft placement (direction, angle, and global evenness) into account. But there is also an artistic feature. Crafting a hairline to match nature is no easy task and requires the surgeon to have a vision for aesthetic facial structuring on his many different patients. A highly skilled surgeon will establish a natural-looking hairline shape, how far forward or back it should be placed, and how soft/gradual it should appear. The hairlines must flatter the countenance of every individual.
