Bart,

This is the most educational and informational post I've seen from you yet. Well done!

I particular like that you were specific on how your physicians reduce the risk of the tearing/pulling force by controlling the speed, angle, and depth.

This is also the first I've heard about "strip distortion", but logically, it makes sense.

Specifics help patient members understand a clinic's philosophy and goals. Next time don't make me beat it out of you .

I will be attending the ISHRS conference this coming September so I hope that Dr. Ilter may yet again present on FUE.

Please Grow,

I do think this is very valuable site and very informative.

But you ask me to take all the FUE information based on one Drs opinion.

While I think Feller is one the best and most honest Dr.s I've read about - I cannot take his opinion as gospel. I believe there can be different approachs to the same end result.

I would like to hear other opinions from Dr.s that do this every day because skills are perfected with pratice.

P.J,

Great point. I agree that it is important to speak to many physicians woh ultilize a technique to get an overall perspective rather than just one. That's why I was pressuring Bart to give us his opinion from a technical perspective. I'm glad he finally shared a bit more detail. I'd love to see a technical debate on any aspect of hair transplant surgery between physicians who vary in their philosophy and techniques.

PJ,

I think PGP gave you a sufficient response. Dr. Feller is the only (that I'm aware of) coalition Dr. that does fue's AND is active on this site. I don't think he was suggesting that you take Dr. Fellar's words or opinion as 'gospel'. But again, he is THE fue Doc on this particular site and as you mentioned, "one of the best and most honest read about".

You and Falc make a great point, I think we all would appreciate seeing the two techniques and philosophies discussed by the actual Doctors themselves.

I could be wrong. But isn't Dr. Rose in the coalition? I know he does Fue. So does Bernstein and Rassman. How much they do at this time. I really have no idea.I do see them post from time to time. Best way is to contact the docs yourself and ask to meet some former patients. Also I do agree that information from a doc that does it day in and day out is valuable.
