At the risk of been tagged as a fellerite, i will give my 2 cents on this. I just don't see what the problem is. Dr F only questions the placement of the scar in the two patients pictures that were shown in this trend. He has no problem with the exceptional cases and justs asks where the exception is here.
If any party appears to be getting attacked here it is Dr F and Spex, unfairly so.
The doc has a gift for getting to the point and a passion for saying and doing the right thing which is evident here.

"what do you want to gain from this? you will only loose potential costumers because this comes across as unprofessional, egotistical and crude."
Not a hope of patients being put off, if you meet him you will feel his passion for HT, the fact that he could get hair to grow on an egg helps too

I understand this thread is being shut down. I don't understand why, but it's not my site so I'll make my last post.

Thank you Richie and Thank you I.H.
Your posts are dead on accurate and to the point.
As I.H. pointed out I HAVE been attacked. Attacked for writing the truth, and then attacked again for supporting it with documentation, and then attacked again for supporting the documentation,and then attacked again for sharing information with the public, and so on.

I made 10 detailed posts referring directly to the situation. In 5 weeks, my opponent made just 2, both of which focused more on ME than the issue at hand.

Something,
If I seem bullish, it's because I get into a debate to either win or be proven wrong. That's how I learn. That's how you and members of this community will learn. If the other side can prove my position wrong, then I will accept it and change my ways. I expect my opponent to do the same when their position is proven wrong.

However, in this case my opponenet did not address my views and the documentation I used to support it, but rather focused on ME.

I never asked him into this thread and I didn't ask him for a debate. He took it upon himself to engage me and make a post that only confused the issues, not clarify them. And when I challanged his publicly stated positions, he admonished me in yet another post for not keeping it "private".

If he wanted it to be "private" then why did he post his response on the internet in the first place? Why did he challenge me publicly? If he wanted the situation to be private, why didn't HE email me instead of complaining that I didn't email him? I NEVER received any email from him concerning this thread. Why not if "privacy" was such an issue to him?

I am bullish because I can't stand B.S. being fed to the public. That's why I take a strong stance against bogus laser hair growth schemes and megasession FUE procedures. They are WRONG and not subject to interpretation no matter how many off-topic points are raised in an effort to distract from the main issue. They are also wrong no matter how much their defenders attack ME.

This thread was similer to those debates in that reality seemed to be thrown out the window.

My final statement will be the one I made at the beginning of this thread and one my oppenent was not able to counter within context:

ABOVE THE NUCHAL LINE GOOD, BELOW THE NUCHAL LINE BAD

Hey Ritchie and Irish homer . Whats worse to you. One HAPPY patient that appears to have a scar a little lower then usual or Armani who is wasting thousands of grafts on TONS of young kids with his mega fue. If you want to be a savior for the industry why not climb that mountain. I know Dr Feller has posted about the mega session clinics and Shane but not Armani himself. DIRECTLY call Armani out next if you want to start calling out doctors. Also I remember this was the exact same location Armani took his strip grafts before he switched ton fue only . I dont remember ANYONE calling him out then. By the way Ive seen a ton of wide scars that were on or above the bump and and ALOT of the thinnest scars were from Armani below the bump. Id go with the textbook also but there are bigger issues to MOVE on to.

I can show you 20 non tricho scars below the bump that look like this. Maybe it would have been better higher but ALL of us would accept this . Obviously Dr Farjo is too busy to post or feels like this should be private or is just feels exposed but if you want to educate the masses start another thread with the topic above or below. Otherwise its clear what is going on

Richie,

We know you believe Balody's scar is below the occipital bump from one or two photos. Dr. Farjo already addressed the deception of these photos. He also stated that he will take detailed in person pictures of the scar when he sees Balody in person to further address this issue. I imagine once he sees Balody in person for evaluation, he'll be able to more fully address this. But given that Balody's scar shows no signs of stretching and is no concern to the patient nor the physician, it's time to move on. If you would like to pursue this further, please contact Dr. Farjo directly. His information can be found on his online Coalition profile.

Dr. Feller,

Dr. Farjo jumped into the debate on this thread however, it is quite obvious that his first post was addressing your "scar city" topic. In your second to last post you asked him to explain his reasons for justifying the position of Allan's scar. Nowhere in this thread do I see him speaking of Allan or condoning his scar placement. I'm not sure how or why you are asking him to justify another doctor's patient's scar.

You have made your point very clear "Above the Nuchal Line GOOD, Below the nuchal line BAD". This is the well accepted rule. Dr. Farjo has made his point very clear - not everything is either good or bad, but many shades of gray. He has made a case for the exception. It is now time for our members to draw their own conclusions.

Quite often you claim that you are being "attacked" by those who disagree with you while those who who agree are "dead on accurate". I respect your opinion immensely, but in my opinion, you are going to have to accept that your opinion is not the only accepted one. Personally, I'd love to see a continued educational debate on this topic at the ISHRS conference in Montreal. I hope you'll attend.

Dear forum members,

Beyond the insults, there is a lot of valuable information in this thread to learn from. But it is obvious that this thread has taken a destructive turn. I have a great respect for all who have participated on this thread, but allowing this war to continue will be harmful to everyone involved.

Balody's scar (a little low or not) shows no sign of stretching and is of no concern to the patient or physician, but will be further addressed (says Dr. Farjo) after an in-person consult. Allan (the topic starter) is not Dr. Farjo's patient. Both physicians made compelling arguments regarding the acceptable place to harvest the donor strip, both the norm and whether or not exceptions exist.

And now, since the horse has been beaten to death ten times over, it's time to draw your own conclusions and move on.

Thanks for your participation.

Bill
