I am getting divided messages that it’s either no issue as the punch dia is so small or that it can be an issue. There is a very high proportion of the population prone to hypertrophic scarring so it would seem logical to see many cases if it is an issue. Does anyone have photos of either donor or recipient areas where it was a problem? I assume the worst case scenario would be for the scars to overgrow the hole from the punch site and sort of merge together with adjacent holes and then become a large surface area of scar.

Good day I was hoping to get some feedback from people who have undertaken FUE HT and who are prone to hypertrophic scarring. I had a couple of surgeries and removals of moles on the skin over the years which were sewn together and my skin develops hypertrophic scars (see attached scar from my wrist and from a mole). I was wondering if any other members here experience this scarring issue and underwent FUE surgery and if that is an issue in the donor area or if it is not a concern due to the punch nature of FUE. Thanks

I am looking at an appointment in approx 2.5 months and there are not many slots available at all at those nominated above. Dr Alcaide - he is part of Dr Bisangas network and was trained by him as I understand it. Dr Sikos is on IHRS and recommended elsewhere. OK so the nominated Doctors wouldn’t be recommended so far.

Fair point but I feel everyone has a number of critical variables which affect their decision on a HT. For many it is purely cost driven. For some it is geographic. For others there are various factors in their life affecting and driving the decision. Unfortunately for most people it is not possible (at least for me) to have zero constraints. In any case I’d appreciate feedback on my actual query regarding the Drs if possible.

Hey guys I am 40+ and have spent a considerable amount of hours and weeks researching potential FUE clinics and Doctors throughout Europe and narrowed my search to the following options based on quotes and availability and I’d like to make a decision in the next few days. BHR Malaga Dr Alcaida Dr Sikos Budapest Dr Demirsoy Istanbul Dr Keser Ankara Hair palace Budapest All others (like Drs Bisanga, Bicer, Pinto) didn’t qualify due to timing constraints. I would prefer the Options in Budapest due to my travel arrangements as it would avoid plane rides but there is not much information on results on them online in this and other forums. I found that Dr Sikos is highly rated in some online pages though but I am not sure. Obviously I am a bit apprehensive as HT is a critical procedure and it seems to be a minefield with so many options and I am keen to take the right decision and would appreciate feedback if possible. Thanks for your help.
