  1. Sorry to muscle in on someone else's thread, but I noticed this in your signature, @HARIRI: Plug removal + Strip scar revision - Dr. Ali Karadeniz (AEK)- May 23, 2015 Plug removal + 250 FUE temple points- Dr. Hakan Doganay (AHD)- July 3, 2013 Scar Tricopigmentation- Dr. Koray Erdogan (ASMED)- May 3, 2013 2500 FUT (Hairline Repair)- Dr. Rahal- July 26, 2011 Given your comments here, were you not happy with the plug removal and strip scar revision Dr Karadeniz performed? I ask because I have issues with old transplant scars that I would like to have sorted (see below): ... and I really have no idea which way to go.
  2. Thanks to both of you for the advice. It sounds like it's worth taking this further, then. :-) I haven't heard of the Maitland clinic, but I'll have a look at what they say.
  3. I had a hair transplant about 25 years ago (!) when I was in my early 20s. I couldn't afford to revisit this for many years afterwards, so never had further work done as the hair loss continued. I am now left with several areas of transplanted hair on the top of my head after the rest of my hair vanished around it. When I had this done I was receding at each temple and on the top, so the transplant sites are in a block at each temple, and (which I didn't realise at the time because it was surrounded by existing, though thin, hair) two almost parallel lines (maybe 0.5cm apart) arching across the top of my head from side to side. These look particularly artificial. The transplanted hairs are all vertical so they stick straight up. I would like to reduce how ridiculous this looks by clipping my hair short (probably #1), but I have noticeable scarring on the donor sites that are visible if I have my hair any shorter than about #6. These scars are a series of smallish circles in three rows, with one block on one side of my head and another at the back. Other than that the hair at the sides and back is pretty thick. Does anyone know whether it's possible to have these scars removed/reduced enough to enable me to cut my hair short? I've had a bit of a browse on the web and have found a transplant clinic in London (theprivateclinic.co.uk) that has a single line that says "Scars resulting from injuries or previous surgeries can also be corrected", but it gives no details whatsoever apart from that. Any advice would be gratefully received.
