Hi Raphael, Thank you very much for your valuable advice. You underlined some factors to which i didn't think like miniaturization or quality of the non-virgin recipient site. Indeed it makes sense that for such a complex and important surgery a physical visit to the doctor should be favored.. I will try to first meet the surgeon to confirm I am a good patient for FUE. Thanks a thousand.

Thank you Gradina, much appreciated. No, I haven't mentionned my side effects to propecia/minox to the surgeons. I shall indeed and see their feedback on how it could influence their work. Also thanks Melvin true that the surgeon I am in contact with mentioned that my grafts may have fallen because of genetic influence, he didn't specify if/and why a surgery with him would have some better outcomes. And to reply to your graft estimates, indeed the surgeon estimates to can harvest 2000 grafts from the scalp area and around 1000 from beard. He believes he could possibly make a second surgery later with the same number of grafts (around 3000) but using more BHT than scalp hair. Interesting topic even if that's not going the direction I planned

Thank you Melvin for your honest opinion. Althought, I am not sure if you have read that "several renowned surgeons, including, Feriduni, Konior or the HLC clinic indeed consider me as patient for a FUE (scalp + beard). I hope I can trust their acute analysis and experience. In the case where some FUE spots would be visible, possibly SMP could help.". Although, the surgeons have seen my donor area before my scar reduction (photo attached) which may seem better than the photo taken after the reduction. I will consider SMP as a last solution, and in case some FUE scars become visible. Thank you again for your kind support.

Thank you Aaron but I am not wondering if I am an HT candidate at this point. As I mentioned, several renowned surgeons feel that I am a candidate for FUE so I totally trust their opinion. True that I could have some shock loss after this scar reduction, but it is supposed to grow back I believe ?? Thanks a lot for your opinion regarding short hair being more exposed... I totally understand and agree with that view. I really feel I will go for the top suregon. Thanks also for the Konior case . I had already seen it. Quite amazing indeed althought the guy is not a caucasian and seems to have thicker hair than average caucasians.

Thank you very much to both of you for your concern. Much appreciated. Even if I would have preferred an opinion on my original question 😉 Indeed my donor area is quite limited, but several renowned surgeons, including, Feriduni, Konior or the HLC clinic indeed consider me as patient for a FUE (scalp + beard). I hope I can trust their acute analysis and experience. In the case where some FUE spots would be visible, possibly SMP could help. I indeed had a SMP into my scar before to excise it. It was good at the beginning but the 2nd tatoo made on it wasn't natural anymore. I don't take any Propecia and Monoxidyl as I has side effects for both. The 2 FUT were done 11 years ago in Canada by Dr. David Clas, but he has closed his clinic some years ago. The result was very good in the first years then it started shredding year by year until today. I don't know I could have avoid the loss of grafts with another surgeon, maybe it's due to genetics.

Thank you for your experts comments 😉 Indeed the surgeon plans to harvest around 2000 grafts from scalp and 1000+ grafts from the beard hair.

Thank you Melvin ! I appreciate your highly-experienced view on the matter. Indeed, In understand that long hair can help to hide some flaws in the hairline when there are enough hair. In my case, the density is super low (see the 2 photos I added) so it is just impossible to let my hair grow further or it would make the Alopecia even more obvious. But I understand from your message that short hair will make any flaws / unnatural hairline even more obvious.. so it is even more important to go with a top surgeon. Thank you also to share the case of DiMuzio. I didn't know him but indeed with the shockloss we can see his scalp more on the video. Hopefully, it will improve much on the mid-long term. I have to make up my mind and decide going for a 30 K $ surgery with a top-notch surgeon or a 15K $ with a decent good one ! Thanks again 😊

Thanks Aaron! As you can see on the photo, I still have some hair on the top but very few. The fact that I cut my hair super short makes the alopecia less obvious Vs the full hair sides. Actually, my exact question was kind of double. If I have super short hair as today : 1) will it be essential to have a top-notch natural looking hairline ? and 2) will it be essential to have a high density on the top frontal zone ? My doubt is whether with very short hair, these two factors are so important in order to have a natural hair look. If with long hair I 'm sure that they are essentials. And good remark regarding my FUT scar. Indeed, I just had my FUT scar excised 3 weeks ago. I have attached a photo of how it looks today. Thanks again !

Hey guys, I'd appreciate your opinion on that one. As you can see on the photo, I have super low density and very short hair since I suffer of diffuse Alopecia. I have had 2 FUTs a long time ago but unfortunately almost all the grafts have fallen down.. In order to rebuild my hairline and give more density on the frontal zone I plan to have a FUE surgery (3000 grafts) with a top-notch, but very expensive, surgeon. He has excellent results on the hairline quality and density and a great reputation. The thing is that I plan to keep my hair super short ( round 0,5 cm ) even after the surgery because the density will still be limited. So I am wondering if it is worth to spend a huge amount of money in order to have a high density top-notch hairline but with very short hair... ?? I mean, do you think that there will there be a significant ( visible ) difference between a top-notch hairline and a good decent hairline, if with super short hair ? I believe maybe not, but I am not sure so I'd appreciate your comments 😉 The surgeon who I am considering has per graft fees at least double from the standard rates compare to other good surgeons on the market. And with 3000 grafts that can make a BIG financial difference 😜 Thanks a lot in advance for your kind opinion !!!

Propecia can have some dangerous effects on sexual sides, may be irreversible. That's a no go for me...

Thanks for sharing but the photos are so blurred... hard to truly appreciate the hairline

Amazing results !! And I'm also talking about the 10 years span btw the procedures and the high survival rate of the grafts... You indeed must have spent a huge amount of money on it but many the price of feeling good and proud of your hair has just no price 😉

Agree that the density isn't enough to look natural. A 2nd FUE would be necessary, or also possibly cutting hair shorter could help. But at the end it's a personal choice if he is satisfied with this. At least the hairline, except the density, looks natural

Thanks a lot for sharing man. It's a nice work and the density will only get better. Meanwhile, is it a feeling or the density on the frontline looked a bit stronger (with shorter hair) after the first FUE procedure than after the second procedure (with long hair) ?
