Thanks for your help friends. You rock 🎸. I'll post updates if I find a surgeon who thinks he or she can help me. It may be that just adding FUE in the front won't work with the angle of the hairs in the flap and the surgeon doesn't want such a diffucult case.

Thanks my friend, I'll look into Dr. Bisanga : ) 🎄 🎅

Hi jjlay, thanks for responding. Budget depending on what can be done. Ballpark $10K. Any excellent reconstruction surgeons that you know of that have repaired flaps? Happy hoildays bro 👏

Hello community, in 1992 I had a Fleming-Meyer flap surgery. For 31 years I've endured an awful hairline and I'm finally ready to have the scar and hairline reconstructed. I sent pics and my story to Dr. Laorwong in Bangkok, but he said he can't help me. So I'm asking our great community for advice on a surgeon who could help me. Ideally I want the donor hairs FUE removed from the flap to lessen the density and to put them in to hide the very prominent scar in front. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I live in Los Angeles but I'll travel for an excellent surgeon that can help. Much appreciated 👏

Thanks Kirkland for your support, much appreciated. Glad to be a part of this amazing community : )

Thanks bro for your excellent advice, much appreciated. Both you and both know the pain and agony of 1989 hair replacement surgery technology. Glad I'm on this site. I wish it was around back in the day ; )

Thank you Dr. for your encouraging words, much appreciated : )

Thank you very much for your excellent advice. You and I had our surgeries right in the prime of our working careers. Everybody I met at work and vendors etc knew I had freaky hair surgery. I hated having to meet new people. It was awful. I'm retired now and perhaps the best thing about being retired is I no longer have to have people stare at my head. Thank you for sharing your story and for your encouragement 👍♥️

Thank you, much appreciated : )

Thank you so much for your advice : )

Thank you very much, I'll check them out : )

Hi, I live in Los Angeles. Thanks so much for your advice : )

Hello, in 1989 I saw an ad in the Daily Variety entertainment magazine for the 'World Famous Fleming/Meyer Flap." I was 29 at the time and I was really losing my hair and it bothered me tremendously. So I paid Dr. Richard Fleming's $75 consolation fee and saw him. He said I was a good candidate. I was never informed about nerve damage, that I would never be able to feel most of the top of my head. Fleming never told me that he would not be able completely close the wound on the back of my head, but for an additional $1,200 he could reduce the wound size 75%. WTF?! Fleming said for the best results I first needed a scalp reduction, which I had done on Halloween, the irony. After six weeks I went in for my flap surgery. Fleming was in the office but sick. His female assistant told me "he's probably drunk." I had to reschedule. I had the operation on January 2, and it was full blown operation, which required an anesthesiologist. When I took off the bandages the hair line was wayyy to low I really looked freaky. So I went in for a third surgery this time to raise my unnatural hairline higher, something that Fleming did not want to do, but did it for an additional $1,700. I had this procedure done at the same time as reducing the large wound he left at the back of my head. I was very unhappy with the final results. A good buddy and I went out for dinner and he said I looked like Frankenstein. I went back to Fleming and asked what can be done about my very unnatural hairline. He said for an additional $5,000 he could add 500 micro grafts. No way would I allow Fleming to touch me again. I was done with him. So my questions to the group are: is it possible to have general anesthesia surgery to remove my flap, and the hair on the flap added to my scalp by the latest technique? What would you suggest? Thank you for reading and for your advice, much appreciated. Here are my pics.
