ISHRS is a joke…my first botched up transplant was carried out by a doc certified by ishrs.
I believe the consensus among my BALDING brothers here is that only FUE transplants are acceptible for 21st century HTs. Let the word go forth that strip transplants are now to be considered techniques from the dark ages and HT doctors doing it should be side lined.
=============================================
"Is it true that there are scars with FUE?
Can anyone prove / disprove that claim? "
I am not aware that it is even disputed by reputable FUE doctors. Of course they are NOTHING like a Strip scar - but if you want to shave your head with no evidence of scarring at all then I don’t know of any FUE doctor that is going to promise that.
As for Strip, yes, it still appears to have better yield in my opinion - it is the only way I can see that H&W produce the consistent results that they do - something I have not seen replicated by FUE to date.
So in my view it is ‘horses for courses’, FUE for smaller procedures, but if you want a massive transformation and have the donor then I still think that Strip is producing better results.
I notice however that no strip clinic ever shows the strip scar say a few years later after it has stretched. Even the strip clinics here never show you the donor area- Wonder why? They should for all eyes to see what it truly does. I have seen stretched scars even with the trycho-closure method. Avoid strip and go to fue. A lazy surgeon will only do strip because fue takes longer. Many too are not properly trained in the removal process and thus you see the huge transection rates occur. Strip again is outdated, easier for surgeons to perform more surgeries per day and thus more profit for the doctors but it was used since the late 80’s from certain doctors- Clearly outdated as 80’s big hair is. Time to say goodbye and good riddens to strip altogether.

In order to max out your donor supply availability you NEED the combination of both procedures.

I guess you had a bad experience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not pro-strip…not really anti-strip either but I would always lean towards fue over strip. But whether we like it or not, whether you or I or anyone else will get it or not, the truth is if someone wants the most possible grafts extracted from the donor sites then the combination of strip+FUE is required. Required atleast something new comes out…perhaps Dr. Gho’s authenticated research and study will be the end of strip as we know it. Once Dr Gho’s technique becomes available I can guarantee strip clinics will either close down or embark on the FUE ship.

Gho performs the most scarless procedure in the world, because he uses a smaller needle than anyone else. However, I am reluctant to get hairline work there as, despite the excellent outcome of Gerard Joling, I don’t see enough evidence that the artistic work in the hairline is up to the level of the best HT artists in the world.
My current opinion is the best HT available is to go to one of the top hairline artists to get a world-class FUE hairline and fill in the rest of the head with the donor stingy HST method.
Nobody should ever get HST without ordering some small acupuncture needles and some semi-permanent tattoo ink and taking close up photos for 10 days following the extraction. This requires very little time, costs perhaps $25, and provides you evidence of exactly how you respond to the HST treatment.
I’m considering flying to Holland and getting a 50 graft proof (I’ll be there on vacation anyways). If so, I’ll tattoo it and photo-document the procedure.
