Hey guys,
I’m considering a second cosmetic procedure and would be grateful for any advice anyone has.
I’m currently 30, first started experiencing hair loss at around 20, and had my first FUT procedure at Bosleys in New York in 2010.
During this procedure I had 1,500 grafts and I still have the scar in the back. The scar is only a few mm in width and I can hide it with a 3mm trim from the barber.
My first question is whether I should have another FUT or go for an FUE? I have done some reading that suggests a second FUT is ideal, and I would like to absorb the first scar and maintain the same type of scar following my procedure, but not sure if the scar from a second FUT is usually larger or smaller considering the less elasticity of the skin?
Does anyone know, or suggest a surgeon, who has a good reputation with minimising scars for FUT procedures?
I am currently living in Vietnam and considering travelling back to America for another Bosleys procedure, but would be open to another clinic in Europe if anyone has any suggestions?
I’ve added some photos below to get some advice on the number of grafts I would need to restore a full hairline.
Sorry for all the questions.
Appreciate all the help and support.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Zach
Thanks again for all the feedback. When I first had the surgery in 2010 I only had 1500 grafts and I was on finesteride. I stopped taking finesteride in 2013 for a year and I lost a lost of hair and it appears that the only hair that remained was the transplanted hairs (as viewed in the pictures). Agreed, relative to other transplants I have seen on this forum the density is terrible and I use hair fibres on a daily basis to maintain my density. When it was done in 2010, it was all they recommended. Will look into the surgeons recommended. Thanks again.
