Do Megasession Hair Transplants Increase The Chances of Having Complications?
Written by Victor Hasson, MD on May 28, 2010
I’ve heard about scar stretching and complications when having a megasession hair transplant, and this concerns me. I definitely want to get the most that I can with one surgery, but is is really possible to do this without causing complications? Please let me know, I need to make my decision in the next month or two.
Sincerely,
Alex D

Some physicians in their discussions with patients will relate the size and width of donor scars directly with the width of the strip that has been removed. This is an overly simplistic view of the cause of scaring, and may unfortunately mislead patients on some occasions. Read more
Misconceptions About FUE Hair Transplants
Written by John Cole, MD on May 19, 2010

The first problem is the cost, it seems that FUE is considerably more expensive than a “regular” hair transplant. The second is what I am reading about the yield of the hair grafts. Is it true that FUE does not grow as consistently well as strip grafts? I would try to find the extra money to have this done using FUE if I was certain that I was making the right choice.
