Im glad you guys still remember me. My plan has remained the same, fue into scar and adding density on top, then a spray on skin recell treatment into my scar after fue. But whats holding me back is the issue i havew ith my donor area, ive had constant shedding in the donor area since my procedure

My scar is larger than normal but not by any means unfixable

Spanker your hair is flawless, its funny b/c ive been wanting to pm you about some very important questions regarding FUT(if you dont mind?). My hair on top is good,i need maybe 1000 more grafts on top to achieve full density.

Its been 15 mo's post op and i can honestly say this was the worst decision of my life, even with a coalation doc. I feel like im on the fence until a cure. I have never been so isolated in my life.

I had the tricho technique done on me. My scar isn't as bad as yours about 5-7mm in width, but im still very unhappy with it. But im going to get it repaired with fue I think it wasn't necessarily the technique used but, the doctor who did the surgery. If I was religious id pray for you. I hope everything in the future goes according to plan for you.

Id spend 2-4 years in Tent city prison in Arizona for a full head of hair. Id do my time with a freakin smile on my face too

Makes me sick to my stomach, to know these clinics are probably still operating on unsuspecting patients. Good luck to the BOTH of you. In my opinion I think you both have a chance of getting a good repair, considering you've only had one failed sugery. This time around, please look into the doctors being promoted by happy patients(who have photographic proof of there results) on this forum!

mickey is a good man great fue doc reccomendations Lorenzo im coming

hey guys im going to be soon seeking a strip scar repair and adding density to my hairline with dr Lorenzo. I was just curious if you guys ever thought about taking the repair further and treating the actual scar itself? have you guys heard of recell? if not please check it out, ill be going to have this procedure done in about 6 months. from consulting with a person who has emailed the recell doctors in the uk and a client of the actual procedure i truly believe theres a chance to turn a strip scar into virgin scalp or close to a virgin scalp. ill be posting my results with Lorenzo and the recell doctor for all to see, to hopefully inspire faith into others that they don't have to accept a subpar result. **Outside links and video removed by moderator. Please google "recell" and "recell Mesa presentation" for more information. Thanks!** they get very good results and they are using cutting edge technology that cant be found any-where else. they are only doing the procedures in the uk and Canada I believe. and im told that the scalp heals better than any other part of the body, so im expecting some mind blowing results with my repair. I had a consult with dr umar, who I like very much and I think he has some very very good repairs and he was very nice. butn I must go to the #1 fue doc so i have the best chance of getting the result i want. dr umar told me id need 500 grafts into my scar and 1500 in and behind the hairline to add softness and density, and then ill be done with this ht suffering ive been going thru the past 9 1/2 months and still suffering let me know what you guys think about this post thanks--aaron

im very impressed with his youtube channel, he has no fear in showing his work. dr Lorenzo is the master of fue

hey guys, I wanted to double check and make sure that im making the right decision. so, I had consult with dr umar yesterday and I was very pleased with the consult, he is very nice and was honest with me about my previous work that I had done. although I only consulted with him to have him check out my previous HT and give me a graft quote. He is saying I need 500 grafts into my scar and 1500 more grafts on top/ so I will be emailing my case to dr lorenzo, because he is the only dr I think can give me a result I will be happy with. what do you guys think? do you think dr Lorenzo has good scar repairs? all opinions are appreciated, and when I get confirmation from dr Lorenzo that he will work on me. I will start a new thread a few weeks before surgery and I will document it religiously for everyone to see. thanks ----aaron

i will be emailing dr Lorenzo this weekend to have him review my case. dr Lorenzo has shown excellent examples of his ability to repair scars and and bad work. I will be trying to set up my repair surgery for 4-5 months from now and I will be documenting/creating a thread for all of you to see, because I will need support and guidance. thanks

i really would rather if this thread be deleted. I did not want to have this transpire like this its unfair to dr keene, even if im unhappy id really like to have this deleted because, I will not be going in to see the doctor to sign a consent for several reasons. so its unfair to her so david can we please drop/delete this thread like I wanted before the talk of my doctor was even being seen by anyone? I don't understand, please lets just delete this, I will never mention my experience with her again im here to get help with a repair nd suppor

dr keene is a great strip surgeon, but unfortunately for young men , more often than not, strip surgery can be a a failure

a couple of things I think need to be noted from me: I have no doubts in my mind that dr keene earned her right to be a coalation doc and earned the right to be known as a doctor of honesty in the field I enjoyed being in her presence during the initial consultation and during surgery, she listened to everything I had to say and showed compassion for me and was empathetic towards my situation, I believe she is right when she states that having a hair transplant at my young age is a good idea because of the years that are wasted when living with out hair at this age, she is absolutely correct on this and I was ecstatic that she understood this. But the thing that borught to a state of ,unrest,unhappiness and displeasement with my HT, was the method of transplantation via FUT. After researching I feel like in the year of 2013 when I had my surgery, it was a well known "opinion" that young men who undergoe HT's for a low number of grafts, should always go for the FUE route, and many other surgeons who practice strictly FUT would agree with this, and this is where I find myself misinformed about the FUT method and I feel like I should have been pushed towards FUE instead of FUT of 1650 grafts. DR keene, is an extremely nice and caring doctor who understands the complications of young male hair loss, I concur with her methodology behind the fact that young men don't get there years back that were wasted due to not fullfillig there lives b/c of hair loss but I feel like FUT is a BIG NO-NO for a 19 year old who only needed 1600 grafts this is where everything went wrong I don't want to damage her stellar reputation but I only wanted to point out the facts of FUT vs FUE for young men

im seeing a counsler and a physchiatrist, they both know how I feel and would not classify me as suicidal, by any means, severly depressed though? yes. that's the last im going to talk about that. sorry if I gave you guys the wrong idea, Im not trying to be a victim, idk why anyone would want to play that role, in the end you guys are right, your advice is spot on, that I need to treat these disorders first, and that's what im doing I owuldnt go under the knife until 18 months is up and until I get better as a person. I will promise you guys that I will try my best.

let me make it clear, I would never kill myself, I have no plans, although I suffer from severe depression and it may sound like im feeling "suicidal" I want to make it clear, im not suicidal

I don't talk about "killing myself" over and over again, I have stated that I don't feel alive, and that I feel like im in my 70s. I have read worse on here before. hdude46 I have weighed my options with the revision, and I overquoted the 1000 grafts...its about 400-800 grafts like I said I don't want to offend anyon here. and I can assure you, I will not be complaining here anymore. not one more time. I will be only looking for guidance on my hair. I have taken peoples advice, and I have applied it before I came to this site. I want a revision believe me, but im scared of a stretched scar, ok? I will not talk about my unhappiness anymore. I promise.

man I try guys I really do, if you have seen my post on the treatments I have tried, they are endless the only way im going to get through this is with a repair,so that's exactly what im going to do david thanks for caring, I just wanted to get my story out there,becasue I need guidance and support, but afte researching I feel that ican achieve a result that is realistic for my situation.

is it wrong/unethical for me to speak out about my displeasement and my case in general?

fue docs for scar repair- bisigna and Lorenzo...period fut docs for revision....SMG, or hasson and wong...period go to that one doctor you talk about, and expect a even wider scar

sorry to hear your stuggling with you crown i think fue with bisigna and Lorenzo would b optimal in getting a result your looking for Lorenzo is amazing

I hope mickey, i really hope i can achieve happiness, i have tried so hard, so hard. i will keep fighting. im aware of realistic results and if i achieve a realistic result for my nw and current scar, i think ill be happy with a repair with someone like bisigna or Lorenzo

not to mention I praise you for advocating fue. the most fut promoters are usually the doctors who can not perfrom fue world class results and the patients who have undergone the fut procedure. and sometimes I sense jealousy in the fut patients that promote fut, that rather if they could go back in time they would go for fue with a world class fue surgeon, it makes no sense to go down the strip route

I envy your ability to be happy with yourself, I really do and it makes me happy that you realize you are not your hair. but unfortunately for me, I have been treating both bdd and depression for about 7-8 years and ive been battling hair loss for 5 years, unfortunately this has all transpired in my teens, and in my honest opinion I just cant be happy with the lack of confidence and the sense of lost identity at my ripe age of 20, to much negativity has transpired around me and after evaluating my attempts to treat these disorders, I think the best thing for me to do right now in my life is to get this fixed to where I can be happy with it. but im glad your happy, I wish no fut suffering upon anyone
