Hello all!
Thank you so much for sharing on this forum. I have learnt so much! I am a woman with thin hair particularly at the center part and considering hair transplantation. I think I would not have more than 1000-1500 grafts. I do not want any reshaping of hairline or filling in temples. Rather, I would hope to fill in the diffuse, thin hair area perhaps 3-4 inches around the front center part.
I understand there’s a great deal of artistry involved in natural results but I am not sure if that’s so relevant for me where the hairline will not be modified. My main concern is shock loss and excessive donor scarring. With those factors in mind, how relevant do other members think it is to see a US vs Turkish surgeon? I am aware of Konior, Bernstein, Wesley, Dorin, H&W, Gabel as well as Bicer in Turkey.
I’m wondering what would be the downside of seeing someone like Bicer as opposed to the others, for the specific concerns of shock loss and scarring. What are the main determinant for issues like shock loss and scarring, aside from the patient’s own bodily reaction— is it equipment, or the surgeons hand skills or techniques, or whether they are taking adequate time?
In case it makes a difference, I don’t have active or increasing hair loss. I had a hormonal medication change some years ago that caused sudden intense thinning. When issue was addressed, the lost hair didn’t return but additional loss didn’t happen.
I’d be truly curious and grateful in anything I can learn from other forum members thoughts!
