That's some good advice BeHappy.  I think people considering HTs should absolutely shave their head's completely first to see if that look works for them.  (I have)

The thing that really got me starting this thread was seeing a review on Realself.  This poor guy got TERRIBLE results.  We're talking light wispy hair at the hairline only, all the the inside hairs never sprouted so it looked really, really bad.  It was a terrible look and if that happened to me I would want to reverse the procedure and remove the hairline.  

I would forget about the crown work for now and focus on getting the hairline fixed.  It looks like she ran out of graphs and just left it as is.  I would tell her you're not comfortable with her working on you again and that you want Dr. Harris to do the repair.  I'm guessing they will make it happen to avoid bad reviews online.  

If I was in your shoes I would INSIST that her boss James Harris do the repair work.   

Thanks Laser Cap and Melvin.  Melvin, to be clear, I haven't had a procedure yet.  I'm just trying to learn as much as I can, and how to deal with a possibly bad result should that happen.  But the good news is that I was just told yesterday that my donor area looks good for a HT, and that I'm a good candidate for FUE.

Thanks for your reply Greg but no, I actually haven't had a transplant yet...I asked this question because I'm a super cautious person by nature and want to know all my options before I pull the trigger on a procedure.  (Just had my first consultation today, it went well and they told me I had a better than average donor area!) 

EDIT: I just realized I posted this on the wrong board sorry!  Rookie mistake. Moderator, feel free to move this to the correct place!

I'm new to the forum and just started researching transplants in the last couple months. (I'm 49, probably N3/N4) I've seen very little mention about reversing bad HTs.  I know about the fixes for FUT linear scars (FUE graphs/SMP etc) but what about failed recipient areas where the hair is just too thin/patchy to be presentable?  Do people ever have the hair removed via laser or other means and go back to where they started? How common is this? 

A side question, and maybe a more common problem...how to fix an over-harvested FUE donor area that looks patchy? 

Great forum btw.
