No benefit to doing it. Just cut your hair short and get regular FUE.

I think this is highly unlikely. But you should do your best to contain head movements. If you're worried about stress, get lots of sleep. Getting less than 7-8 hrs everyday raises cortisol causing stress.

Out of those four, I would go with Bisanga any day. Devroye is good, but I think FUSS is his core competency.

^Thanks yo.

As an aside, has anybody noticed persistent flaking all over the scalp in the weeks post HT?

Also, looks like I was wrong on one count, the transplanted hair has definitely grown a bit, will post photos soon.

Why aren't you on fin or dut?

It's not just the crown, sides can drop, donor can thin...mpb is a moving target.

Looks great.

He is a acandidate only if his mpb stabilizes. If he was 40, that would be one thing, but 19 is another. The walls can fall...Finasteride and probably dutasteride is a must for an HT. Has op ruled out meds?

Unfortunately this has to be some of the most aggressive AGA I've ever seen. The only poster I've seen with more aggressive was a guy named azza786 who had FUT done by rahal, which turned out well.

I would say you might be a candidate, but only if you can stabilize your loss with finasteride and dutasteride. If not, just shave it. Look into SMP.

As a New Yorker for the last decade, I am afraid to say 80k a year is barely going to get you a studio out in Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx. A decent studio in Manhattan, forget about it. It was only when I started hitting $120k a year that I could afford a decent studio in Manhattan, and it was tiny. When a good friend from Johnson City, Tennessee came to visit me, and I told him what I paid per month in rent, he balked and said that would pay off the mortgage on his 4 bedroom home in a year.

 

 

Try UES...lot of good 1 beds available for sub 2k/mo

0 grafts

All righty!

No, the surface area is the same because the skin stretches to cover the excised strip. Density is follicles divided by surface area. There are fewer follicles and the same surface area, why you struggle to understand this is beyond me.

Hey, yeah looks like I've been seeing a similar thing. Implanted hair is still there in Week 5, looks like it is common. Somewhat surprised though because we've all seen experiences where people lose all their implanted hair and go cue-ball at 1 month!

If there are less follicles in the scalp but the surface area is the same, then density has been lost. I believe this is fairly straightforward.

I was just about to point out the exact same thing. Dr. Erdogan has stated his belief that the homogeneity between donor and recipient achieved through larger FUE sessions can be beneficial to the final aesthetic. In this particular case, where the patient's level of hair loss was so extensive, I believe that benefit is clearly evident in the final outcome.

Yeah, he seems to target homogenization as a goal. Makes sense to me.

Yeah, it's my profile photo what do you mean exactly? I've been a forum poster for a long time. Tell me exactly, how would a strip have depleted donor density? The friction and pulling forces don't work in such a way to decrease density. You're simply left with a scar. Sometimes it's unsightly, sometimes it's concealable. But a scar to me is preferable to than exhausting the donor area with punches.

You have 100 grafts in an area, and you take 30 out. You have less donor grafts. Density depleted.

Where do people get this idea that strip doesn't deplete donor density?

^Sometimes that's desirable as it homogenizes the recipient with the donor. Plus, strip would also have depleted donor density.

Is this a forum poster? I feel like this is somebody's profile photo.

I sent pictures to a range of surgeons. One said I was a great candidate for strip, another said I was not an FUE candidate and only a really big strip surgery would work, another said I wasn't a candidate for strip and would only do FUE , while another few said I was a good candidate for FUE. The best thing is to go in person...

I'd say about 1,500-2000 grafts, probably about 50-60 g/cm either FUT or FUE would work. You will need somebody who can really dense pack.

Check out these, they look pretty natural to me:

Also nape hairs used for the reason you mention.

EDIT: My post is flagged. I looked at your pictures, I understand what you're saying. Disappointing outcomes/poor growth are definitely a risk. But I think that is true for HT's in general, not just this type of procedure.

harryforreal,

With all due respect, while I understand your dissatisfaction, I think you are leaning too much on your case to determine how somebody else's result might turn out. Overall, it seems you're saying that natural looking, low hairlines cannot be done without significant aesthetic risk. On this, we'll disagree.

As for my comment about "textbook", the major problems with FUT start and end with primarily the scar. When you're a man with AGA, it is progressive, it includes advancing norwoods, and donor area thinning. With FUT, you risk scar visibility if you cut your hair short, or if you experience donor thinning. You also lose the ability to shave your head and move on. But again, these risks are present if men have progressive AGA.

With a woman (not undergoing FAGA) but simply having a congenital high hairline, those problems do not exist. Most women, even those with hair loss issues, do not shave their heads, or buzz it very short.

Harryforreal I was referring to FUT vs FUE. As you know, nobody needs HT surgery, it's an elective procedure, but for women born with high hairlines, they are great candidates without many of the downsides men have.
