Hey all, Well after just finding out about the alternatives to getting rid of old grafts and raise the hairline,(FUE which will result in pitted scars, a brow lift, or a tissue expander beneath the forehead), I have decided to look for alternative means of removing old grafts, as none of these sound very desirable. Has anyone tried using laser hair removal for old grafts? I know all about LHR as I have used it before and, depending on what company and what type of laser they use, really good or really bad results can be seen. Anyway, has anyone on this forum tried it? I think if it is possible, it would be a heck of a lot better than getting even more scars or big time plastic surgery.

Laser Hair Removal for a Bad HT?

I'm relatively new to the HT game...had a 1200 graft job done by Dr. Shagufta Khan (Con-artist)in San Diego. The results left A LOT to be desired and I am now looking into a second HT in the coming years. I am very interested in Dr. Konior of Chicago, as well as Dr. Rahal of Ottawa. The only problem is I just can't think of how to go abroad to get a HT done. If anyone has done this, let me know how you did it. How much work needs to be taken off, how long did you stay in that country, etc. If only he didn't have his office in Canada, that's where I would def. want to go. His hairlines and density are incredible. Dr. Konior's results seem to be impressive as well. Also, Tricho Closures seem to be the way to go with scar reduction. Do most surgeons do it nowadays? I know that is going to be one of my questions I ask, as I would rather not have another fat scar on the back of my head. Can surgeons also transplant some of the hair onto the old scar to cover it up a little bit? Believe me, this time I am actually doing my research so I do not have a repeat of last time. HT are supposed to change your life...I'm still basically in the same boat I was before I got mine done. Any information that can be shed would be well received. Thank you.

Just mulling it all over

Scar & hair length
ChargerFan8608 replied to hounddog's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I have actually used a number one and then like kinda let the the hair that runs over the scar stay a little longer. Then I used Dermatch and it seems to do the trick. However I only keep it short because my first HT was terrible and it doesn't look good when it's grown out. -
What exacty is a "failed HT"?
ChargerFan8608 replied to go4it's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Check out my post on "If you want terrible results, I suggest Dr. Shagufta Khan". That shows what a failed transplant looks like. No density and improper hair flow are just some of the ways in which a HT can be judged as a failure. -
Hi all, I'm somewhat new to the HT game...had one over a year ago with the Con Artist Dr. Khan. 1200 grafts and $5 gs later, I am still in need of more work. The thing that was great about getting it done when I did was that I could wear a hat all the time and not really have to worry about anything, as I was in college and worked at a place where hats were acceptable. Now, I am going to be going out in to the work world and realize that that will not be possible anymore. What did you guys do after your hair transplants? Clearly you can't just hide away for six months. Did you just have to go into work, scabs and redness and all? For some (namely me), I'm very concerned with how I look and how others view me. So I'd be worried about the odd looks I'm sure to get. I know in the end it all pays off, but ya. Any suggestions?...other than grow a set

UPDATED 6 Months - Dr. Rahal Surgery 3489 grafts
ChargerFan8608 replied to Hairfree's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
God...I am just jealous of your results. When I look at my craptacular results thanks to Dr. Khan (con artist), it really upsets me to think I could have been all but taken care of in one session. Very nice work. I can't wait to be able to wake up someday and have a full head of hair once again and not have to grab for my hat immediately. -
Ya, I hope that within the next 5 years I can have this all resolved. I hate how it looks and don't like getting my picture taken or seeing my reflection. Dr. Khan is a disgrace and, had she not pushed us into it so much and had I not been so willing to just take whatever solution presented itself, I would have never had it done with her. It's really sad to think that all this could have been taken care of in one procedure, and now it has to be 2 for one stupid area, using up precious donor hairs. I REALLY hope my post dissuades others from even considering her. While she is not a Bosley, she certainly should not be sought after.

A 5 and that's generous. She is very pushy and tries to get you to commit too fast and the work she did on me was subpar
