  1. No, I have not had it fixed yet. It's about a quarter of an inch long from ear to ear. I don't think having transplants will help. I don't understand why someone can't just take it out so I can be left with a pencil fine scar... I'm kind of frustrated because all of the doctors that I have spoken with (via emails) all want 7-8 grand to put transplants into the scar. It just seems like they all want to get as much money out of me as they can, and care very little about actually helping me. I'd really like to have a trichophytic enclosure done, but i can't find someone who does it. If anyone can PLEASE recommend SOMEONE, please let me know.
  2. I'm not sure of how many grafts that they recommended for me. I saw the price tag of $6,500 and I deleted the email and never responded. I am currently talking to Dr Stoller. He seems to have good reviews and a good reputation, and he did have a link on his site for my exact problem. I'm going to have to research him a bit more. If you know anything about him, please let me know.
  3. That's what I plan on doing, but I'm not sure of who to go to. I've gotten two quotes from Dr's so far. One from Bernstein medical for almost $7,000 which is completely insane! The other was from Dr C*** for $2,500 which is completely sane and the number that I had in my head when I began looking. For some reason Dr C***'s name is not allowed to be written on this site which is not encouraging... So, I am still looking for someone. There has to be someone near me. I live on Long Island about an hour and a half away from NY.
  4. It's been three years since I had it done. I need to go in again at the end of this summer. Some people can wait up to 6 years before they have it done again. My skin doesn't like being tattooed or being in the sun. So, I have to go in every three years and have it touched up. I took some pictures for this site about a year or two ago. I will find them and send them to you.
  5. I went to Feller for a transplant back in 2005. I know that he has an excellent reputation, but my transplant didn't look very good. I went to a few Drs, and I didn't get the results any of them promised. So, I did SMP and I am very happy with that. What you mentioned (FUE grafts into the scar) is exactly what I am looking for. I just don't want to pay $7000 to do it. That quote was from Bernstein medical. I know they have a reputation as being one of the best transplant establishments in the world. But $7000 for a scar repair is robbery. I'll keep looking I'm just amazed that it is this hard to find someone to fix it. Do you know anything about Dr Deane in garden city? Or Dr Dorin? He's also in Garden city. I know Dorin was once partnered with Dr True (who is now retired). Thank you so much for all of your replies they are greatly appreciated.
  6. That's not an encouraging sign of being a good doctor. Do you know anyone who is located in NYC that can fix my scar? I'm having a lot of trouble finding someone. I only received two recommendations. The first I went to years ago and I didn't like the work that they performed. The second wanted almost 7,000 to fix a strip scar. That seems like a VERY high estimate for a scar repair. Dr C*** gave me an estimate of around $2,500 which seemed about right. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more than that but $7,000 seems insane. I'm an hour away from NYC. There should be hundreds of qualified doctors who are located there who can fix my scar. Thanks
  7. Why is Dr. C***'s name blocked out every time I post it on here?
  8. So far I have spoken to two doctors about this one is Dr. C*** from Forhair. He gave me a quote of around $2,500 to fix my scar. Has anyone on here had any experience with him? The second doctor that I spoke to was Dr Bernstein who is in New York City. He wanted $6,500. Sorry, but that price seems insanely high to me. Does anyone have any other recommendations or any information about Dr C***?
  9. I had a bunch of hair transplants- the results were less than stellar. It's why after 20 years of transplant work I said F' it and did SMP.
  10. I had mine done three years ago (it'll be four years next August) and it still looks great. the place i went to said that it usually lasts around six years and then you need a touch up. I'm probably going to go in sooner than six years. I don't want to take a chance on it fading. I have some nasty transplant scarring on the top of my head that has been covered up by SMP. So, I don't want to take any chances. Touch ups aren't than much. So, I can deal with having one every 4-6 years.
  11. I haven't had grafts put into my scar, but I have had SMP on the scar. It does look better, but it still drives me crazy and does make me insecure at times. I had my first HT back in 1998. The technology wasn't that good back then. So, the severity of the scar wasn't from rushing back to the gym too soon (I'm not that stupid). It was from the places that I went to. In 1998 just about every place I know of was still using the strip scar method, and since I am not a good healer the scar is still rather large. I'm surprised that no one has recommended anyone that is good at fixing this type of thing. If anyone can help me out I'd be very appreciative.
  12. My brothers girlfriend had SMP on her eyebrows. Now, I've had SMP done on my head. So, I figured I'd have a keen eye to spot it, but couldn't tell she had it done. My brother told me about three years after he was dating her. I don't know where she had it done so I can't help you there, but I'd recommend that before I'd recommend having surgery.
  13. Hi, I am new here so if this is not the proper place for this topic please let me know. I am looking for help with my strip scar. I have a large scar that runs from ear to ear. I have already had SMP and it is one of the best things that I have ever done. It has honestly changed my life. However, I am still bothered by my strip scar. My friends and family tell me that it isn't noticeable especially since my SMP. However, I notice it because it's my head. I am wondering if there are any procedures that can be done to eliminate the scar altogether or at least to make it thinner. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. And if anyone knows of anyone in the New York area who could help me that would be even better. Thanks ahead of time.
  14. I went to Scalpmicro USA. It was the best money that I ever spent. If you want you can PM and I'll show you some pictures.
  15. Hi, I am new here and this is my first post. I have fair skin and light blonde hair. I had SMP doe at Scalpmicro USA in NYC. My head looks amazing. I've had relatives, friends, and colleagues ask me why I don't grown my hair out. So, yes it is possible to get great results while having light skin and hair. If you PM me I will be glad to send you a picture or two.
