This depends on the number of grafts being used and the length of the existing donor area. In men with shorter haircuts, the sides and back of the head will need to be shaved to a level of one with a shaver.  Patients may not need to have their hair shaved entirely if they need a smaller number of grafts and have long hair to hide smaller shaved areas. This is a new option known as the “no-shave FUE” technique and is often ideal for women with long hair experiencing hair loss in Miami. Dr. Bared is one of the very few surgeons offering this option.
