It looks good. The FUT scar doesn't look bad at all, even with your hair cut short.

Thank you both for your responses!

I am interested in restoring my temporal peaks and was wondering if you could give your opinion on how many grafts I would need implanted to do so?

Is it very difficult to restore temporal peaks? If I remember correctly, many doctors don't like to perform that specific procedure.

Thank you.

There are a lot of legitimate arguments for strip in many cases 

I certainly regret getting an FUT procedure, but I can see that some people prefer strip procedures, especially for women who tend to keep the hair a longer length .

The best way to deal with fut scars is not to do fut, as you never know how your scar will get stretched after surgery. 

I agree with you. I wish I had researched it more before I had FUT done. 

Thank you for the reply’s. I do not have any photo’s of my FUT scar. 

Currently my FUT scar is visible when I cut my hair with a 4 guard or lower. I was wondering if getting FUE into the strip scar and/or SMP on the strip scar would allow me to cut my hair shorter? Your recommendations, suggestions or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

Still really struggling with this. It's massively impacting my mental health, confidence, sleep etc. I really am unsure about the procedure and would desperately like to go back to beforehand. 

Reaching out for any further support as I'm in a pretty dark place at the mo

 To some degree, I can empathize how you feel. It's not worth the loss of sleep and the negative impact on your mental health. You might consider the Joe Rogan approach and just shave it. Or maybe just work with a therapist. I don't think your HT looks bad. 

Perhaps the Doctor might except Bitcoin as an alternative traveling with so much cash?

Did you go to a recommended doc for fut?

The doc I went to was not recommended by this forum. I didn't discover this forum until quite recently. 

I have had moments of regret too, especially during the first 2 weeks after the transplant. I got very depressed during this time, but it went away so hang in there.  I have had two HT's. First was a FUT and the second was FUE. The thing I get most depressed about is my FUT scar. At least you don't have that. Overall, I am more happy than regretful with regards to getting the HT's. 

My FUT scar is visible if I get my haircut with a #4 razor guard or lower. 

These photos are 3 months post 2nd hair transplant. 

The above 3 photos were taken before my 1st HT in 2016

The next 3 photos were taken last year, prior to my 2nd HT

I'm sorry I don't have more detailed photos or any of the crown and mid-scalp

I had my 2nd HT in November of 2022. 

I prefer not to name the clinic or surgeon. 

These pictures are from my 2nd HT performed in November of 2022 , which was FUE.  My first HT was performed in May 2016 consisted of 2000 grafts to lower the hair line and was FUT. I don't have any pictures of the first HT.
