The work looks great!

For sure!!

So pics?

Also, I really you decide to share your experience and results!

Awesome! Glad to hear it. All the best and Happy Growing!!

Anyone meeting this man for the first time would never know. My mouth dropped. Same here.

I’m in Austin, Tx. and when I got ahold of him I had to dial 011-52 and then the number. Give that a try. Good luck!

Agree with everyone above. Your donor looks good. One or two more passes on that scalp of yours and you’re golden.

You probably won’t get to talk to him until Monday.

You should call his office. That is, legit, the best way to get ahold of him quickly. His number is on his website. Call around 9am Central Standard time. You could be weeks trying to email him. If you really want to get ahold of him that way you have to put him on email blast and you probably won’t talk to him. You’ll talk to Brenda. Good luck!

Which procedure did you undergo? FUE or FUT? From your pictures it’s hard to tell what your donor looks like, however, if you really want to know if you’re still a candidate (and I don’t know why you wouldn’t be) you should go consult with a doctor or two (or three or four ) if I were in your shoes, though, it would be time to go for another pass.

That is some really good looking work!

I’ve never heard of this doctor but your result is already pretty awesome at 3 months.

Are you taking any meds? Fin? Min? Biotin?

It’s my opinion, and I feel that it’s a good one, that if you’re going for multiple strip procedures that you should accept nothing less than one scar. I know a guy in his late 50’s that lives in Houston that has had three FUT procedures with Dr. Arocha. This gentleman was left with one scar. That is an ideal result. I certainly wouldn’t want a doctor pulling tissue from the back of my head in different locations leaving multiple scars, however, it is my understanding that as more tissue is cut from the back of the head fewer and fewer grafts may be extracted due to skin laxity and donor depletion. It is also my understanding that as more tissue is removed the resulting scar is more prone to widening as it may stretch over time. That’s not to say that it absolutely will happen but the probability is high that it will.

Most people have, on the back of their head, a bump called the occipital bun. Most, certainly not all but most, FUT scars I have seen on people’s heads rest on that bump along the occipital ridge. Whatever the science behind that is I’m not sure of, however, that is usually where it rests. Maybe it has to do with the skin being better able to stretch and pulled together to be sutured. I don’t know. Speaking in terms of length, not width, scars can definitely be shorter or longer back there, as gillenator said, depending on how many grafts are required and how many grafts per cm2 you have back there. Do a google search of, “hair transplant scars”, and you’ll see a variety of scar lengths. A good doctor will cut the old scar out along with the new tissue being removed so that you are left with one remaining scar after the surgery.

I was on Propecia from April of 2012 until May of 2015 when I switched over to Costco's generic Aurobindo fin. I experienced zero shed or sides on the switch. The only difference was that I went from spending over $100 a month on Propecia to spending $22 for a three month supply on generic.
