Well, after this extremely unfriendly message where I've been accused of "pretending" and claiming something absurd, I will drop this photo and be gone. Like I said, at 7 months Dr. Armani could not find any visible evidence of a scar. When magnified (like maybe 10x) in the photos he took, he showed me a space where the follicles were slightly farther apart but there was no scar on the skin area whatsoever.

Hello, my name is Mike W and I had an FUT transplant of upwards of 3000 grafts with Dr. Armani. I am not being paid or incentivized in any way to make this post and I assure you that I am 100% real and the information provided here is 100% accurate. Message me if you would like to verify with me further. I found this thread about 1 year ago when I was doing extensive research on hair transplants, and was disappointed that I was unable to find forum chatter from real people on Dr. Armani. So here it is. Dr. Armani is a perfectionist by nature. He has no shortage of work, but insists on doing all consultations himself and refuses to franchise or grow his business beyond himself, because the quality of work is extremely important to him. Along these lines, Dr. Armani heavily favors FUT over FUE because it is the correct answer for most patients, despite the fact that marketing has a lot of folks convinced otherwise and that many patients will not consider FUT out of fear of getting a scar. He wants to give you the correct procedure. Dr. Armani has developed his own suture method, and he told me that he is not aware of anyone else doing it like he does it. I returned to his office today, 7 months after my hair transplant. There is NO scar, not even under high magnification. FWIW my mother is a retired nurse and she saw the sutures when they were fresh, and confirmed that they were done in a unique manner and were extremely tight. The hair transplant itself was very successful, with the result already looking great at 7 months. If anyone has questions about my experience, message me. Hopefully this site will give me email notifications for direct messages. I am also now "following" this thread. If there is anything else I would offer about hair transplants in general, it would be to not smoke cigarettes before, during, or after a hair transplant. I found some compelling information about that on a forum from an experienced hair transplant doctor and believe it may account for a good portion of that ~10% of folks who have a disappointing percentage of grafts take.
