  1. Yes, that's what he said he'd do. He also said he'd use a different kind of stitching this time (last time he used the self-dissolving kind, this time he won't) to reduce the chance of any movement. Finally he said that because he needs to take a smaller slice this time, the skin should stretch back together more easily. I was contemplating asking (and paying for) him to do extra (above the 1000 that he offered), but he said he wouldn't advise doing more than another 500 hairs (250 grafts) above what he's offering, since this way he can be more confident of getting the scar right.
  2. Hey everyone I have a question about how the size of a FUT procedure can effect the liveability of the scar in the first few months following surgery.. I had a 1500 FUT procedure performed just over a year ago. I have been pleased with the results. I had assumed that this was the impact of the 3000 hairs that I'd been promised, and although I could use a little more, I was happy to see a good improvement. Luckily my doctor (Mario Marzola) is very reputable.. after going to see him last week he quickly told me that he was disappointed with the result - he thought I had only gained about 2000 hairs, and that my scar was much wider than he is usually able to achieve. He has offered to do a second procedure for 1000 hairs free of charge, which he says should also fix the scar. Thinking back to a year ago, the scar was definitely a real annoyance for me in the first 3 months or so, because I like to have my hair short at the sides and wasn't able to do this until the scar had healed fully. I was wondering, if I go ahead with the second surgery, would the scar from the smaller procedure be much easier to live with than the first?

  4. That's what I was thinking - I might have to wait on some exercises, but things that are done sitting or standing upright with no head movement - I just can't see how they would strain the wound even if you are going 100%. I guess if I am straining it I'll be able to feel it and I'll stop, do people's experiences reflect the above reasoning?
  5. Hi everyone I'm having my surgery done in a week (1500 follicles by dr marzola, who will use a trichophytic closure). I have been reading that it's best not to resume weight training for 4-6 weeks post op, but surely not all upper body exercises place strain on the wound? I would think that there are some to avoid and some that would be ok if done carefully - which exercises place most strain on the wound? which would be ok to perform?
