I got 7k grafts via strip before starting FUE. There's no question that if I got around 5-6k grafts via FUE first, a strip would not be viable at that point because it would have no place to hide.

best FUT surgeon you can get right now ?
aaron1234 replied to yego's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
How many grafts did you get first time around? I'd wait until there is more hair loss before undergoing round 2.- 20 replies

A strip excision gets every graft within its parameters. Within that same "strip" zone, FUE wouldn't come close to those numbers without leaving it bare. It's why the donor regions of patients who've had 6,000 grafts via FUE look far less dense than the donor regions of patients who have 6,000 grafts via FUT.

7 months 50/50 not Happy ;(
aaron1234 replied to Patro1995's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Appears you got good yield but the hairline is too straight. It is 7 months so things will improve overall, but the multi-haired grafts are there to stay unless they are punched out. I recommend getting on finasteride and start researching elite docs known for their soft hairlines. -
Being free from the ugly duckling stage is the most liberating feeling ever, huh? Looking good, I fully expect it to fill in over the next 3 months.

I'm Getting Another Surgery *UPDATE
aaron1234 replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Congrats on the marriage and future HT, Melvin! Wish I had that beard! 😎 -
A shorter hair style increases the likelihood of this happening. Every strip patient needs to find that sweet spot in length, not just for the recipient area but donor as well. The scar will continue to heal for months, but that doesn't necessarily include a reduction of its width. What's better at 6 months is that hair around the scar that was shocked out will have grown back, doing a better job at hiding the scar.

2756 FUE Dr. Ron Shapiro and David Josephitis (SMG)
aaron1234 replied to Style22's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I had ingrown hairs post-fue as well, but maybe not this bad. Just put warm compresses on them and that will help settle them down. Try not to pick at them. The patchiness is shock loss, so just give it a few months and it'll grow back. You're in the middle of the ugly duckling stage so hang in there. -

61 y/o looking for advice on pursuing HT.
aaron1234 replied to Pilk's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Then smaller FUE procedures are probably best in order to stay incognito. The bigger the procedure the longer you'll have to stay out of public. -
I couldn't say. Both are great doctors. It would be ideal to meet with a handful of reputable docs and see who you feel most comfortable with. I think establishing a good relationship with the surgeon is important.

In my experience with Dr. K I always ended up with more grafts than the original target number which brought down the price per graft rate. If the OP only has a few thousand grafts left then he needs to make the most of them.
-
That's fine. Be sure to take a deep dive into the patient reviews on the forum for a handful of docs. This way you can see what has been happening of late.

Check out Dr. Konior in Chicago, especially if you're willing to travel.

What defines a good donor?
aaron1234 replied to Hair4Days's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hair shaft diameter, donor density, number of multi-hair follicles, no signs of miniaturization or retrograde alopecia. If all four of those factors are in your favor then consider yourself fortunate. Also for FUT, scalp elasticity is important. -
Work looks clean, keep us posted. Happy growing!

Get on fin to see if it will rejuvenate the top half of your crown. Either way you have an advanced pattern which means demand outweighs supply. This would need multiple surgeries and still you would never achieve full coverage with HT's. Accepting your baldness would be better than getting work done at some cheap clinic in Turkey.

Will new hair curl the same as original hair?
aaron1234 replied to kurv's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
It all depends if the donor hair extracted has the same wave/curl as your hair on top. Sometimes hair from different regions grows in different ways. In my case, my donor hair had a wave to it when grown out long and it maintained that wave when transplanted.
