  1. I would be very interested in speaking with you as I am considering this type of repair, will send you a private message. thanks for any help you can provide!
  2. I would certainly find this helpful, please consider it, thanks!
  3. Did a search on him and found some valuable info. It also appears at one time he was a "recommended" surgeon on this site but is not currently. Appeared may be related to use of "double blade" but that is a bit unclear and he seems to no longer be using this method. Seeking any additional feedback re him. thanks!
  4. Had 4 large plug type procedures from 1980-1988, probably about 300-350 plugs and one micro graft procedure in 1991, maybe 60 or so. Started wearing a hairpiece in 1993 when unable to "hide" plugs, even with the micros. Now, I am left with 2-3 rows of plugs in front hairline and many in part of crown, rest of top of head pretty much bald or getting there. NW 6 I think. I am considering repair surgery. Been told by 2 local Massachusetts HT docs that they can excise front grafts (and split and re-use FUs) in a strip and that I have enough other donor left to "cover"top of my head (not sure how densely) and leave rear of crown bald. They feel they'd leave some of the crown plugs in and the donor FUs would be ok to "hide" them. Frontal excision would occur first, then 3 months later major grafting. One doc estimated 2,000 grafts for a first graft procedure and that approx 1,500-2,000 would be available for a second procedure if desired. I want to believe this is possible but hard to trust. Is this possible? All feedback welcome!
