Yeah, can you be more specific next time, please? And yes, 109 pics are not enough!!

I was just a little surprised by how long the donor scar is, but I'm not questioning your reasonings. You're obviously well informed and knew exactly what you wanted. You choose what was right for you and now you have a head of hair your proud of, what more can you ask for.

Janna,

Perhaps I should add 1000 pictures...perhaps that will be detailed enough .

I am definitely an informed patient and was aware of the potential risks going into surgery. But I also trust Dr. Hasson's judgment.

Just wondering...has SMG produced scars this long in any of your patients?

I know I have seen other patients of other hair restoration physicians produce longer scars such as this on occasion depending on the individual patient's characteristics. But each clinic has their own philosophy.

There are few patients that I think the scars have been pretty close to the temple like yours but not quite as close as yours (I think u might just take the cake on this). Personally, and this is my own peronal opinion, I cringe just a little bit when Dr. Shapiro goes past the ears or gets close to the temples. To me it just feels like he's going beyond the safe zone, but of course Doctors like Shapiro and Hasson know what they're doing. And the patients certainly are aware of what's at risk, and in fact, are pushing the doctors to get as much donor hairs as possible.
