    Yes. A strip of almost 35 sq cm was excised.
  2. Birdness
    If one obtained 3000 grafts on a first strip, what would be expected on a second strip on average after waiting 1 year?? This is assuming going with the original scar. Thanks

    I see some individuals that use supplements. What exactly is MSM???? What is the right dose for both MSM and Biotin??? Thanks

    Thanks. That is what I have observed.

    Is there anyone that has issues with the scar on the side of the head versus the back?. In my case the hair density is greater in the back than the side ( don't know if this normally is the case, info on this would be appreciated). I have seen some photos where donor area really comes anteriorly. Opinions from surgeons also appreciated. In other words, is the scar on the side visible in some cases?

    Both. Leaning towards FUT since high NW case.

    After reflecting a little, it is the post-op issues and any follow ups that make me want to stay within North America ( includes Canada). I run a large business and time away is really a factor. I need to minimize any away time. Within NA I can probably fly in and out the same day and that is important. I am willing to go anywhere within North America without hesitation. Thanks for all the input so far.

    I'm not sure about travelling to Europe. How about within North America? Thanks for all the input so far.

    I know it is hard to measure but I have my opinion and would like to see it validated by the community. I don't want to bias any responses so I will post my opinion at the end. I would appreciate the community responding.

    If price and location are not an issue, who are the top 5 HT clinics in the world? Would be useful to know if they perform FUE/FUT or both. Thanks

    Dr Lindsey Any associated problems with topical Retin A?? I have used it on my scalp in the past since it was supposed to aid in absorption of minoxidil. I am still using it on my face but stopped using on my scalp approx 6 months ago. I would like to get a HT in approx 3 months. Any issues ???
  15. Birdness
    I am a NW 6 and considering a HT. I will be going to one of the top coalition surgeons. My question is how natural will it look? He will be performing 3500 in the frontal area. I have fine hair and average density. Does fine hair help or hinder the naturalness of the procedure? Would like to hear from fellow members in terms of how natural they feel their HT looks. Thanks

    Does anyone have an idea of the incidence ???? 1/100, 1/1000, 1/10000, etc
  17. Birdness
    What is considered lower density packing and what constitutes a mega session?
  18. Birdness
    How common is necrosis following hair transplant surgery? What are the risk factors?I am 56 and in good health, non-smoker and no high blood pressure or diabetes. Does my age put me at higher risk? Some info on the incidence in general as well as any other useful info would be appreciated.

    I mean a visible area on the back of the head where the hair doesn't seem right and mimics the scar underneath. In other words, an area where the hair is misaligned and is visible compared to the rest of the back of the head.
  20. Birdness
    Talking about seeing the area of donor harvesting in the back because the hairs are misaligned. In other words, is it cosmetically visible with normal length hair ?? Those of you that have trichophytic closure had it please chime in.
  21. Birdness
    How often does a trichophytic closure cause misalignment of the neighbouring hairs so that it is apparent when looking at the back of someone's head? Would seem a reason maybe not to do it.
  22. Birdness
    I am a NW 6 and been told that as a first procedure 3500 grafts at the front with 40 grafts per sq cm would give a good cosmetic result. Opinions?
  23. Birdness
    If the surgeon concentrates on the front, how would 5000 grafts look and how far towards the crown would it extend??
  24. Birdness
    I am of slightly olive Mediterranean complexion. My hair is fine. My barber thinks I have above average donor density but my HT surgeon thinks it is average. I have good scalp laxity. My HT surgeon thinks he can get 3500 grafts first round and 1500 second round. I can't be sure but he may be under promising and over delivering at the time of surgery. How accurate are the estimates in general ?? Would 5000 grafts give me a significant improvement???? Any Norwood 6's out there and how many grafts did you get and what as the level of satisfaction??Thanks
  25. Birdness
    I am thinking of undergoing a HT and am a Norwood 6. I was wondering what is the minimum number of grafts required to have an acceptable cosmetic result. I have no illusions about having a thick head of hair, so my expectations are realistic. Thanks.
