Dr. William Yates talks FUE

This is my 7th year doing exclusively hair transplants and several thousand cases later, I truly believe FUE (follicular unit extraction) is a great procedure and is here to stay.
 
The benefits are: no linear scar in the back- you can wear your hair as low as you want in the back.  That is great news, no limits on styling your hair. Pull out the clippers and cut it down!  No stitches in the back to remove, and none of that tight feeling in the back for weeks after the procedure.  Less pain in the donor area has also been reported to me by my patients.  The area were the grafts are placed seems to heal in the standard fashion.
 
FUE seems to be ideal for people who to wear their hair short in the back, people with a history of multiple procedures with a tight scalp (where another strip incision would leave a terrible scar) and people who say," I just don't want the scar." FUE is also done on all textures of hair, and works equally well.
 
Just like anything experience is everything.  I have done hundreds of these procedures and am quite proficient at it.  I have done it on celebrities and regular people, like you and me, all day long. I even did the procedure on my oldest son 23 years old.  His hair looks great, and of course he wears his hair in the back super close!
 
Anyone thinking of doing a hair transplant should consider this option.  Make sure the doctor is doing the extractions (removing the hair) instead of a tech or nurse, and make sure that your doctor is an expert at the technique.
 
In 2011, being bald is optional, what are you waiting for?
