What it is
FUE stands for follicular unit extraction. In plain terms, small groups of one to four hairs are taken one at a time from the back and sides of your scalp, where hair is most resistant to thinning, and placed into the areas that have thinned.
Because each graft is removed with a tiny circular punch, no strip of scalp is cut out. That means no linear scar and no stitches in the donor area. FUE is the only surgical hair transplant technique offered at Lone Star Hair Transplant, and it is performed without a robotic system.
What separates one FUE result from another is mostly planning: where the hairline sits, how the hairs are angled, and how carefully the grafts are removed so they survive. Lone Star Hair Transplant puts its attention there.
Who it's for
FUE is commonly considered by men with receding hairlines, thinning at the temples or crown, and by people who want to keep their hair short without a visible strip scar.
It can also help to repair an older procedure that looks unnatural. It is not right for everyone: stability of hair loss, donor density and expectations all matter, and Dr. Contractor will say so plainly if waiting or medical treatment is the better first step.

How the hairline is designed
Most of what people notice about a transplant is the hairline. Dr. Farhan Contractor, DO, draws it by hand while you watch, because a hairline that suits one face can look wrong on another. He considers the shape of your forehead, the position of your temples, your age and how your hair loss is likely to progress.
A hairline set too low can look natural today and awkward in twenty years if the hair behind it keeps thinning. That is why he plans for how you will look at 40 and at 70, and why he may advise a more conservative line than you first drew. You are part of that conversation, and nothing is decided until you agree.
Protecting the donor area
The back and sides of the scalp supply a limited amount of hair, and it has to last. A careful plan takes only what is appropriate, spreads extractions so the donor area does not look thinned, and leaves room for a possible second procedure later in life.
Selecting and adjusting the punch for each patient is part of this. Diameter, depth and tip are chosen around the thickness, curl and angle of your hair and the character of your skin, so grafts come out whole and the donor area is disturbed as little as practical.
Repair of earlier procedures
Some patients come after a procedure elsewhere that never looked right, for example a hairline that is too straight or grafts placed at the wrong angle. Dr. Contractor examines what is there, explains what can realistically be improved and what cannot, and then plans around the donor hair that remains.
Your FUE, tailored to your hair.
In FUE, each follicle is removed with a tiny circular instrument called a punch. Many clinics use the same punch on every patient. Dr. Contractor selects and adjusts the punch for each case, based on the thickness, curl and angle of your hair and the character of your skin.
Diameter: 0.8, 0.9 or 1.0 mm
Sized to your follicular units. As small as your hair allows to protect the donor area; larger where your grafts need room to come out intact.
Depth and length
Set to how deep your follicles sit, so each graft is removed whole rather than cut short.
Serrated or trumpet tip
A serrated edge scores firmer skin cleanly. A trumpet (flared) tip reduces damage to curly or steeply angled hair. The choice follows your hair, not the clinic's routine.
More grafts that survive. A donor area no one notices.

What patients say
I put this off for ten years. Dr. Contractor drew my hairline by hand in front of me and explained every decision. Eight months later, nobody can tell.
Calm, patient and clearly an artist. He was honest about what was realistic, and the result matched what he described.
