Does the blade size have any impact on outcome of ht?
Some doc's use.5cm blades some don't.
Some even use blades as large as 1.5cm.
Any logic in the larger blades?

Larger blades are for larger grafts ie plugs.

Blade sizes vary based on graft size. The smallest I've heard of are .5mm. These ultra small blades are used for the very fine single hair grafts. Larger 3 and 4 hair grafts would require a slightly larger blade. Maybe 1mm. An insertion site too small can cause graft compression which is not good either, so sometimes a larger blade is necessary. I don't know if any of the top doctors use 1.5 mm blades now. That would be a good question for some of the top doctors.

All three have great reputations and do excellent work. You may also want to consult with Dr. True if you live in New York, and then make your decision from there. You'd be in good hands with any of them in my opinion.
