Q. I am interested in having a FUE transplant but wanted to know whether you can perform the procedure without having to shave all my hair? I realise that it is easier to make a better match, but it would be very uncomfortable and embarrassing for me to arrive at work with a completely shaved head.
A. It is possible to have an FUE without shaving all the head, there are a number of options the first is that we just shave a small area which whereby we can take the donor grafts from there, this is possible if your donor area is of high density, it does reduce down the choice that I have when takeing the grafts and also will reduce down the area that I can take them from. We can also do long hair procedures but I generally charge more for these as they take a lot of time and effort to do these. It is possible but I would need to see either you or some pictures in order to assertain whether it would be in your best interests for a results.You head is not shaved completely but is a blade one, what we usually recommend is that you start to reduce down the length of you hair before the procedure this is generally easier during the summer months as many men do this anyway due to the head and convenience for swimming etc.
