Hi Balloonman,
Thanks for keeping us updated as you promised. Couple of questions for ya!
Do you think the extraction holes might shrink which in effect would decrease the thinning look. Also, at what amount of grafts do you think strip has benefits over FUE & vice versa? Let's say you were low on the NW scale & maybe only needed 2000 grafts, would you go strip or FUE.
BTW I think your next update is due 8th September, not August.
PS. Keep giving those amateur poster boyz over at Hairsite a good whipping. I luv it when ya shoot 'em down. Most of 'em have never even had a transplant yet claim to be experts.

Thanks Balloonman,

I guess I'm just gonna have to be patient & see how yours & other DHI patients pan out with the smaller extraction tools.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you guys have great success!

Ballonman,

How can you have 9k grafts only on the front and mid-scalp? I thought 5-6k grafts would mathematically cover your scalp; giving you 1 fue about every millimeter which mimics nature. Did you have some bad yield or large grafts?

Balloonman,
Is your monthly update about due?
Thanks!

Yes,I am in the process of taking the photos today and posting them tonight.

I will start a new thread with a new link so people dont have to keep looking at teh same old ones over and over and can just focus on the current photos.

Thanks for asking.

I had approx 3400 grafts with Woods. I would rate my yield in the 90 percentile and my result excellent.

However I agree on average, strip gives better results. I wish it was not so as I feel FUE is less invasive.
