Dr. Alan Feller, Hair Transplant Specialist & Founder
Dr. Alan Feller is a true hair transplant pioneer. After first investigating surgical hair restoration in 1993, he immediately recognized the desperate need for improvements in the field. As an avid inventor with multiple patents, he understood the importance of innovation in hair transplant surgery. In order for the field to thrive, the process needed to become more refined and better understood. Dr Feller began refining techniques by creating smaller tools, integrating microscopic dissection of true follicular units harvested via Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT or Strip), utilizing a large team of “super” in-house technicians, and increasing the size of surgical sessions. He quickly became one of the first doctors in the United States offering ultra-refined follicular unit transplant “mega sessions” where thousands of grafts were moved in a single sitting. His work led to multiple medical publications and citations in textbooks. He then continued innovating by becoming one of the first hair restoration physicians to transparently post his results on the internet. Dr Feller’s unapologetic approach to openly discussing hair transplant surgery online truly raised the bar and helped countless patients avoid outdated and poor procedures. After building a sterling reputation performing FUT procedures, Dr Feller turned his inventive attention to the budding FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction (now “Excision”) technique. After investigating and experimenting with FUE, Dr Feller became one of the first physicians in North American performing and offering FUE. By 2003, he was the first physician to perform live FUE graft removal at an International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) meeting — an organization he first joined in 1995. After mastering the FUE technique, Dr Feller was also one of the first physicians to recognize and publicly acknowledge its limitations. He continually speaks out against the pitfalls and poor outcomes associated with unregulated FUE mega sessions and tech-run “FUE mills” and champions the continued need for refined FUT surgery. Dr Feller has practiced hair transplant surgery exclusively in New York since 1995; throughout this time he has treated thousands of happy patients from around the world.
