How does this happen to someone who could afford the best hair transplant in the world? What did he do wrong and how could he have prevented that? Did he just simply stop taking his meds when the divorce f***ed him over?

Actually they restructured and if you goto HIS forum theres a sticky addressing the topic

You had a HT procedure for 20-30 grafts? Are you on meds?

Why are so many people posting so invested in this topic as if they already signed up for a procedure with said doctors?

Thanks, my hair is too long now for a proper assessment as I need to keep it fairly long to cover the thinning areas behind the transplanted hairs with hair fibers. Maybe will post pic when I'm ready to shave.

If one has dense packed corners but want the shaved look, how well will SMP blend it with the thinner mid scalp that has not been touched?

Are those other SMP companies listed on scalpsearch and scalpguru involved? Like HIS hair

Have you thought about shaving it off and SMP over the scars and blending the front?

Can pitting in the recipient area be visible without shaving? I've been trying to see if I have pitting by looking close in the mirror and scanning in between the hairs and it doesn't appear so but when I run my nails softly through the recipient vs the native site, I feel an obvious difference in smoothness in the native area while my recipient area feels a bit bumpy.

Do you have photos of your hair before you started losing hair? Some doctors restore your hairline based on what they think looks good on you, but not what's natural to the way you once used to have your hairline. My doctor curved down to the middle of my temples on corners and I never had a hairline like that in my entire life and I hate it but since the doctor never knew how my hairline looked before its his best guess at where he thinks it once was or he somehow thinks it looks good on me. Also, I don't think anyone else knows I have a hairline that I've never had before except for me. It probably takes a lot to get used to, but maybe on your new hairline there should have been a more up curve to corners and a softer corner instead of a 90 degree right angle corner if your temple points weren't going to be restored.

I wouldn't go for a HT unless you have time and money reserved for unexpected outcomes. Going to the wrong doctor could set you up for a life of regrets, but since you ask about this doctor I assume you should already know that now.

Does Dr Umar use the same uGraft punch for head extraction and BHT? I'd imagine uGraft would have to be practically scarless if it's used to extract beard hair from the face. Do you know what punch size he used on you?

What recipient slit and punch size was used?

i would assume there is no limitation on how many can be removed via FUE vs laser vs electrolysis, just depends on your budget vs time vs risk acceptability. Electrolysis would be slowest for 800 grafts and probably cost more than laser but I would consult with the doctor or electrologist. Also, the other factor you need to consider is whether there is pitting or coblestoning under the 800 grafts. Try lightly run your finger nails across the scalp from the transplanted hair and to the non transplanted hair. I feel a slight difference in smoothness between transplanted vs non transplanted regions, but the only sure way to find out is to shave it and see. If there is pitting or coblestoning, fraxel laser treatment might help smooth the skin after laser removal or electrolysis. I'm not sure if FUE punch out addresses pitting.

In similar position and there are 3 options with its own risks based on my research 1) FUE punch - risk of scaring below hairline. Also, If you reapply those extracted follicles to regions close to native hair, you also risk further shock loss. Although most hairs regrow from shock loss there are no guarantees they all will regrow. In both of my cases, I had significant shock loss and the native hair next to the transplanted hair are now very thin and there is a progressive gap. 2) Laser - This covers multiple hair follicles in each pass. It's more ideal for lighter skin and darker hair since the laser can better focus on your hair follicle. If you have blond hair and light skin or dark skin and dark hair it may be harder for the laser to focus on your hair follicles, resulting in the risk of burning your scalp. You also would require multiple sessions since each session miniturizes the follicles until they don't regrow. I also read that some hairs might regrow after 2 years so all hairs may not be permanently removed and might look patchy long term. 3) Electrolysis - Unlike laser that covers multiple follicles, this is a lot slower since it zaps one follicle at a time. It also requires multiple sessions and there are risks to inflammatory response and lesions but these side effects should be temporary. Electrolysis should be permanent so you won't be able to reuse the grafts for other areas.

If that time comes which I'm sure it's already progressing, I'll just shave and deal with it. I've come to terms with hair loss and prefer shaved/bald.

I did some research and laser is usually only temporary and can regrow after a few years. It can be a bit faster than electrolysis since it covers multiple follicles in one pass but I like the idea of electrolysis since it targets one follicle at a time which should be more ideal at the hairline.

Yes. SMP will mainly be for donor FUE scars. Would like feedback from someone who did get electrolysis for hair removal on low hairline or any part of their body. Thanks for your and HTsoons input.

Thanks for the tip. Anyone had electrolysis done?

Because I'm getting SMP on my FUE scars and don't want anymore scars. Also will buzz down short and done with hair transplants.

Anyone have had electrolysis to remove transplanted hairs on recipient site to raise a hairline? I'd like to remove some hairs on the corners to give a natural receding look since my corners curve down too low with unnatural angled hairs. Does a dermatologist/MD Doctor need to do the electrolysis hair removal? I googled electrolysis within my city and the results mostly showing skin care clinics with electrologist doing the removal.

I think the best of the best top doctors have not only learned the skill though experience, but have natural talent and gifted artistic abilities. Things that years of studying in med school, earning a "doctor" title, and even learning the skills hands on can't give. I think most good doctors who do good work and have a good reputation develop those skills from years of experience but there are only a few who has that type of experience AND strong gifted natural talent. I would assume many "rising stars" had their batch of subpar work before getting more well known.

The last thing that guy said was he was having financial issues because he took out a loan for the first HT and decided to cancel the repair with Feriduni and then disappeared... And he was only 19..

Would this guy have been better off getting electrolysis or even leaving it and getting SMP over?

Wow I just read the posts on this thread and I can't believe how disgusting of a person DD214 is! What happened to showing some compassion for OP who is obviously butchered 100% no doubt about it by this piece of shit clinic. The clinic really should be shutdown so they can't ruin further lives and DD214 should be banned for trolling this is disgusting!!
