Thanks for those pics Spex. What kind of scarring (if any) will this guy expect to have in the areas below the current hairline?

Rival718 its going to depend on what type of transplants you had and how many there are. If you are not interested in repair work, Ive read about some guys getting the older plugs and minigrafts punched out and sutured, but Im not sure about how much scarring there will be. There is also laser hair removal, which sounds like the best option to me. Best to call some of the top docs on here to get an opinion. Here is a recent topic discussing this. http://hair-restoration-info.c...66060861/m/500109634

Sorry Bro, but when I zoom in on the second pic I can totally see the lace, and where the hair is tied into it (black dots). Im glad that you are happy with it, and most people would never know the difference. BUT, there are some that will recognize it, and we know that human nature is to gossip. In my opinion its not worth the humiliation. I used to wear one as well, once I started getting a few eye drifters looking up at my hair, I knew I made a horrible decision. Not only that but the maintenance and the smell after a couple weeks if you are an active person is unbearable.

Cool man, how many sessions did she think you'll need? Also how much $ is it per session?

Would laser hair removal be an option, or is there too great of a risk killing surrounding hair?

Aska, have you inquired with anyone about removing your grafts via fue? How many grafts are you wanting to remove? Also please update us when you have costs narrowed down and which route you are going. Im sure there are quite a few guys that are curious just in case they need to go down this path. Thanks

Looks great, very similar to my pattern and amount of grafts. I wouldn't worry much about the donor area. I had a bit of shockloss at the 2 month point and its now starting to grow back at 3 months. Here are a couple pics of it: http://hair-restoration-info.c...=338105853#338105853

Wow, this guy must be very pleased. I cant imagine the hell he's been through with those plugs. Very nice improvement. Does "hairline excision of plugs" mean a brow lift was performed or that the plugs were cored out individually?

Looks really good man! Did you have any 2's in the very front of your hairline or were they all 1's?

Hans Weiman does mostly hair systems and laser therapy. But they also run a PAI medical franchise out of their BASEMENT! I went there to have my sutures taken out after my surgery with Dr Rahal. I asked them about their procedure and the tech told me how their grafts had 10-15 hairs in them. Sounds like they still use mini grafts to me. Also just do a search "PAI medical" on this site and you'll find some info.

Thanks Glenn, I havent really had any other problems with the rest of the scar, i'll add a couple more pics.

I am 2 months post op and I have a dime sized spot that has no growth and just wondering if this could be a section of my scar stretching or just shock loss. Ive attached a pic, could I get some opinions please?

I think I would have just had the plugs removed and just lived with the scars. The hairline looks very nice now, but something about the top down shot looks unnatural to me. Maybe he just needs another pass.

What is the magic number, or sweet spot for the amount of singles that go into a hairline to make it appear natural or soft?
