I have a small scar from a non-transplant procedure that I'd like to camouflage with FUE. I probably only need 50 grafts or so to significantly hide it. My question is, are there doctors in the New Jersey area that don't have a minimum surgical fee, and will just charge the $10 per graft or whatever amount for each graft needed?

I was considering Dr. Feller, and plan on calling his office tomorrow, but am wondering if his fees and pricing require a minimum surgical fee of 200 grafts ($2000 at $10/graft).

Any information on this would be helpful as I am trying to limit my cost, any amount of grafts will dilute the scar and I'm not looking to spend more than $500-1000 to get complete this very minor repair.

Most surgeons have a minimum surgical fee, so you'll likely just have to call around and ask if they'd be willing to waive it.
