FUE TURKEY



We receive many requests from people like this gentleman below who want to know what we recommend for them.  We tell them that they are a challenging case because of the amount of hair they have lost relative to what we can give them back in one procedure.  We are honest and straightforward.  We do not tell people what they want to hear.  This gentleman was told he would get coverage from front to back with an FUE procedure.  FUE is a disaster for a patient with this hair loss.  FUE is a low yield, high damage to the donor area procedure.  He needs hair.  A lot of hair.  Nobody moves more hair then Dr. Bolton.  He regularly moves 10,000 - 15,000 hairs in less then 6 hours from start to finish.  This gentleman got approximately 3,000 hairs and his donor is severely compromised because it now has 3,000 scars over the entire donor area and beyond.

Unfortunately, most people have an expensive learning experience their first procedure.  You can't cover an entire area this large with FUE unless you spread it thin.  It is not a scarless surgery.  You can save money in Turkey but does that look like it was worth the travel and expense?

FUE is marketed very well by the companies that sell the machines that perform FUE.  Unfortunately, their claims are bogus.
