That's a lot of surgeries. And a lot of money I presume.
I don't know how many grafts you have had total, but I reckon 1 mega-session of FUT and then 1 FUE session into the scar to obscure it would accomplish the same thing in much less time and for much less money and agony. |

I promise the photos are coming. I won't leave with out a proper update.
Grafts?... I reckon about 2000 unfortunately. I could add it up but I don't need to know. I would however say 500-700 of those were wasted. It wasn't a large area but what I learnt is that you always need more grafts than you think to try and recreate your "expected" natural density. I didn't want a strip scar at the time and now I'm so pleased I don't. However I agree 1 large FUT session may have been better possibly in my case. However I am aware that if I'd done that with my first doctor back in 2001 I'd probably be in a right pickle now. I'm lucky that I only had a relatively small FUE session which could be fixed. A FUT megasession with a poor doctor would have been a nightmare. 600 badly placed FUE was bad enough!! I thought (probably like most of us do) that I'd nail it first time and I could get on with my life back in 2001. Not the case. It took me 10 years and 7 surgeries to finally hit my goal..... and that's with the internet, these forums, no expense spared, zero travel restrictions and using the top notch recommended doctors. The top 5 docs of their time. One way or another it's worked out eventually but it not a decision to take lightly. It's an intense ride ! Last edited by shanti; 01-13-2011 at 07:07 PM. |
