Hi,
I’m a 40 year old Asian man in the NY area who is ready to take the plunge on a hair transplant to fill in my temple hair region and strengthen my hairline. I’ve read that there are differences between Asian and Caucasian patients: thicker but fewer hair follicles per square cm that potentially effects FUE donor patchiness, a slightly higher chance of keloid scarring, and hair that grows outwards instead of downwards that makes the FUT linear scar more visible. I’m looking for a surgeon who is experienced in Asian hair transplants to minimize these risks. Hasson & Wong and Nakatsuki both have had very good results with Asian patients. They also have very natural hairline designs. The only thing is Canada is still not open to US travel and probably won’t be for another year.
Are there any doctors in the US with a lot of experience with Asian Hair transplants? Looking at their websites, many have good results, but no actual photos or examples of Asian patients. Also, is FUE or FUT more recommended, given the chance of scarring? I would hate to have a giant FUT keloid scar but a ton of small FUE keloid scars would also be really bad.
Thanks for your help and any advise is much appreciated!
