SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@Gatsby I saw from your HT journey post that you removed your smp from your hairline before the surgery with Eugenix. Where did you get this done? Did it blow away the hair that you on the hairline? I can't find reliable information on wether the laser will remove the hairs or not. Any guidance is appreciated. -
SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Actually it's doing that job superbly well. I decided to get the HT while my wife was away for a month. I never told her about it, only a close friend knew. I got it the 1st week she was away. I was able to get the transplant, recover, and remove the scabs all while she was away. She hasn't noticed a damn thing, and she gets pretty close to me . Only thing I've noticed is that the SMP has faded quite a bit. That's because of all the fluids that were inserted on my scalp for the surgery. I'll get a touch up on the crown area next year. Just want to get out of this ugly duckling phase I'm in where I don't really see a ton of difference than before. I had 4100 grafts put in. I'll be posting a testimonial soon. Thanks @SeanToman for your replies -
SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks for posting this. It gives me hope. I'm thinking of removing my SMP (hairline) at the end of the year but I'd like to give my HT at least 8 months. My SMP was really good and I'm really happy with the artist. None of my friends ever noticed it as well. But I just have become more self aware of it. I just need to be patient and 1) See the transplanted hairs growing 2) Give the new hairs time to see how it blends with my SMP -
Revisiting hair transplant - Please help
Caradubaxu replied to Superslim11's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Geesh, don't tell that to the mods. Basically what I'm seeing is if you're above a NW3, just give up. I agree with people on not going to a hair mill. But there are doctors who are experts in high norwoods. Dr Pittella, Eugenix, HLC, Hasson & Wong just to name a few. They're a bit pricier, but are worth it. OP, don't be discouraged. -
@Dregfr, look up some local smp artists. Covering up FUE scars with smp is pretty common and very effective. You should be able to easily find examples online

SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@Rahal Hair Transplant, I had temporary SMP done. It's supposed to need touch ups every 1.5 years. I do want to remove it from the hairline if it'll look weird with the real hair that will grow. I'm almost in month 2 so still way too early to tell. -
SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts. However, I still am in doubt. From reading this post, I do feel like I need to remove the smp away from the hairline slightly. However, will the smp removal also remove the transplanted hair? -
SMP removal after HT
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@EvoXOhioDo you have pictures of how you look like with the long hair + smp? Wouldn't it look weird in the sun? -
I had a HT last month and want to start letting my hair grow. The SMP is working well because I have buzz cut. Only thing is that when let it grow (in a couple of months) it will look weird with the SMP. Will the laser remove my new transplanted hair? When is it safe to remove the SMP? I’m in the US east coast, any recommendations for SMP removal?

Dr Yoshimura in Sao Paulo (Brazil)
Caradubaxu replied to Caradubaxu's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thanks @Melvin- Moderator, I reached out to him as well, he is great. I was wondering about Dr Yoshimura since there is no info on him here -
Anyone had experience with Dr Yoshimura in Brazil (Sao Paulo)? He doesn't post any result pictures which is a bit strange. I only see befores in his instagram.

FUE surgery for those having a buzz cut
Caradubaxu replied to Adam's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@NARMAK the urge comes from me knowing... 1) I won't be able to get full coverage on my 1st HT. My crown will be untouched in the HT. So I don't want to grow it all out until the crown is covered. 2) I may like the combination of buzzed with SMP and so maybe decide to keep it and not do the ht procedure. Also, to clarify, I don't like the slick bald look but the no guard + SMP suits me well PS: I have had SMP done -
FUE surgery for those having a buzz cut
Caradubaxu replied to Adam's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks @Gatsby, and @TimeForAction. @TimeForAction, do you have any doctors in mind that are successful for patients that buzz cut? I would imagine Dr Mwamba would be one, but he is way above my price range at $8 per graft. I also am already scheduled with Eugenix (Dr Arika) and according to this forum, she is very competent. I am also darker skinned and and tan really well.
