These were done badly,hoping sometime to get them fixed..

I remember when I was first losing my hairline I was really considering the Fleming mayer flap but couldnt afford it Thank you God for being broke. Im sorry about your situation but there are plenty of things that can greatly improve you situation .Get with a top doc and get his opinion .Where do you live .
Would you be happy with the classic bald look because there is laser removel for the front and fue in the scars the back of head for the scars .
Or maybe fue of the front to thin it out and do a strip from the back and spread out the grafts . Then a scar revision later

i just saw your other post . There are a couple of good docs in uk but for your case I would travel. You need to go to an experienced doctor who has dealt with this before. Maybe one of thes great doctors would take your case for free if money is an issue. I would be great exposure you could post on all the available sites

exibel,

I moved this thread into the hair transplant patient photo albums section since you are displaying your old flap work.

For everyone's reference, Exibel shares his experience about his flap procedures on this thread.

Best wishes,

Bill

How much laxity does your donor area have?

hi exibel,sorry to hear about your experience.you seem pretty upbeat considering though which is good.
from my non professional point of view there looks like a lot could be done to improve your situation.
you seem to have a good amount of donor hair left to play with and that patch of hairline i would have thought could be redistributed via fue?i dont know.
as i say i am just a laymen but i have seen a lot of amazing repair work on here lately, especially from dr umar.
my dr is based in the uk and i have seen him repair a few plug patients on here by redistribution.
i dont know if he could help your situation but i know he would definatly be more than happy to advise you in person on what might be possible.
good luck and keep that good attitude up.

challenge the unchallenged.

The Laxity is fairly loose ,the density is fairly thick.About the lazer removal of the frontal scare i have actually thought about this in the past.
Also about being upbeat about it you have to be ,like i said in a previous post people have it alot worse than i do .I have a good life so i really wont let this get to me.
Would be nice to have a good head of hair but not to be...

With good laxity and a dense donor area, one should be able to remove a good portion of the flap donor scars while harvesting the donor strips (over the course of 2- 3 procedures), while utilizing the grafts from those procedures to reconstruct the right hairline, frontal forelock, posterior FF and "lateral humps". The lower portion of the left flap donor scar would remain and be grafted into as opposed to removal (that may lead to same type of scarring due to the lower than usual position). There would be a need to finesse the left hairline- probably a combo of FUE graft removal/single hair grafting to create a more natural look.
Could you upload of frontal view (looking into camera) so we can assess the level of that left hairline?

Rarely do I advocate massive FUE procedures, but I think the best approach would be several FUE surgeries which would include removal from the flaps themselves to produce a more even distribution of hair.

I would not recommend any strip surgery because alot of the vascularity that allows large strips to be removed safely from the back has been compromised by the flap surgery. While a strip surgery is not impossible, the risks involved are much higher. I wouldn't risk it as either the surgeon or the patient.

The reason HT works so well is because of the tremendous plexus of interconnected vasculature throughout the scalp. Flap surgery signficantly reduces this interconnectivity and increases the chance of necrosis of large areas of scalp. The ULTIMATE shockloss.

Go FUE. If FUE has ANY place in the HT world, it's for patients like yourself.

Best of luck,

Dr. Feller
