    Curious about the intent of this question...

    I'm impressed - how much donor FUE left in the bank, it looks untapped!

    Hi Chrisdav, thank you for your thoughts, frankly, i would never term it as a duty or obligation, apart from the aspect on aesthetics, there is a medical side to it that helps... but just to relate with your example, it is comforting to know that there are professionals out there who will help you in anyway possible after one year of surgery. Although post op complications are rare, it would not hurt with a follow up and monitoring to reassure that things are on track. Just my two cents. : )

    I'm thinking that grafts obtained by FUT may yield the same as FUE (theoretically). The topic of course with transaction will be there but discussed separately. No difference to me.

    How much did you plonk in?

    Hey buddy, happy for you that things went well.

    I was hoping that, apart from the cosmetic aspect that HT brings, I'm looking at clinics who provide a wholistic care, a combination of future planning, medical advise responsiveness and follow ups. A total quality care approach should be taken. For those overseas patients, does the patient care end once you leave the country? What can the doctor really do for you when you're back in your country?

    @Mickey - I agree, but I want to see the complete picture on how this fit in.

    Would taking 3000 strip leave me a lot more donor than taking 3000 fue? - I don't think this is a valid assumption for strip. Donor lax, density and clinic will determine that - this was raised by the patient rep in another thread.

    Just to share I understand that FUE on FUT scars may not work since scar tissue may not have a good blood supply to support the grafts.

    I'm keen on your discussion - I'm thinking about that too, I wonder, if the process was risk free, there was never a need for administrative legal paperwork prior to the start of the surgery. Just my 2 cents.

    Hey guys, thank you for your responses, appreciate your input. Joe, thank you for sharing your experience in your clinic.

    Hi guys, I 'm wondering for those people who have a post HT past the one year mark, do you heavily rely on hair sprays and other styling products to shape your hair? Scope and assumption: This is based on the assumption that 1,000 grafts were implanted for each norwood level.

    I would advise you to see the doctor in person and talk about it. No point to make a phone call.

    @ Matt -right on, so we are just totally reliant on the DHT resistant hair to fill up the gaps on the scalp. Its a matter of conservation and spending it prudently right.

    I need 4000 grafts,I noticed that the range of grafts obtained from strip varied between 2K - 5k (correct me if I'm wrong but it is highly dependent on scalp laxity, longer the strip the larger number of grafts obtained. )

    I was advised just do SMP+FUE and it would be most ideal.. I was advised by another surgeon that yeah there will be ascar for FUT - but heck just tattoo it.. ; bold advise.
  21. socates123
    Just curious I would suppose anything less than 2000 is not worth pursuing?

    Thanks for the response, I think you have managed to balance the whole philosophy in that paragraph. So the name of the game is how do you manage your donor into what hairstyle that suits you. Probably subjective to each individual.

    Just wondering if balding is a progressive condition, why would patients opt for surgery (be it strip/extraction) won't we have to deal with it once the hair falls down?
