  1. I am 32 and made the mistake of having a hair transplant when I simply do not have a enough hair on my head to fill my frontal or crown. Not enough supply for the demand. I should have paid more attention in economics class before undergoing the procedure. So, now I am stuck with the typical ear to ear FUT scar with a balding top of my head. I think I can maintain this for at least 10 years and look simply like a thin 30 something old. My question is should I attempt an excision/revision or simply put FUE into my scar in attempt to trim it down to a respectable level all around (hoping for 1/4 inch or less with slight scar showing only)? My scar is 2-3 mm wide all around. I know there are plenty of you out there that have had this decision to make and it either bit you or you were successful. Maybe it is not worth the risk for the possibility of a 50% improvement? Let me know what you guys think?
  2. Nicole, That is funny you should mention that because I will be coming in to see Dr. Shapiro on Monday to discuss future options regarding my melon.
  3. Thanks for all the recommendations. Does anyone else have any examples of doing FUE and/or SMP to a scar?
  4. I had a hair transplant 4 year ago and I was happy at first but unfortunately I have never been able to get away from concealing it with toppik for a full head of hair. Had 2500 grafts performed via FUT. Now as I have gotten older, suddenly I am realizing that I am not the only one that is going bald or is balding. If I could go back, I would have shaved my head and lived my life like that but unfortunately that is no long an option. My hair has somewhat of a thinner texture which means I would likely need many more transplants to get an aesthetically pleasing result. The scar on the back of my head bothers me (it is long and about 2-3 mm in width). I wish I could shave it and not have to live with the daily shame of all this. Do you guys know of any good and realistic option for enabling me to significantly trim my entire head or shave it without being self conscious?
