How I Do It: How I plan a 2-day FUE session

Abstract

I believe that all FUE practitioners should first master manual extraction before moving onto automatic devices. The weight of the machines will take away the “feel,” which is very important in determining how deep to score. In fact, many experienced surgeons are still in favour of manual extraction, and Dr. Andrea Tchalakov is one of them. Just for your information, she is that “mysterious” surgeon that did the hair transplant for Wayne Rooney.

The main disadvantage in manual extraction is speed. A 2-day session is usually required to meet the required number of grafts. Careful planning is crucial to ensure a satisfactory result.
