yes it does show...i will do something about that...first i just want to have some of these plugs removed by ipl or laser.

would like to know if anyone has had any experiences with ipl. i have some old style plug looking transplants at my hairline that i want to have removed. i know most cases get them surgically removed and retransplanted into the area. i shave my head so i'm only looking to have them removed. 1. would ipl removal have the same results as having them surgically removed? 2. is ipl able to target the individual plugs without killing any surrounding hair?...or does it just work within the area? 3. the plugs that i wish to have removed have that small round punch hole type wound in my skin...once the plugs are removed will this smooth over or leave a little scar? thanks for any info

last one from the back...a few years ago when i had my hair a little longer i made the mistake of having a fried who does tattoo work put some ink into the scars...looks terrible, not sure what i'm going to do about it yet.

another...

a few pics...

was trying to post some pics but i cant seem to figure out how to resize the photos...as soon as i do i will post them.

i just met with dr bernstein. he said that he would remove 35 of the old transplants and then recycle them back into my donor area scars. i also spoke online with dr rose. he told me i should also consider having the transplants removed using laser hair removal or lpl...not sure what that is. i'm glad dr rose informed me of these other options. does anyone have any experiences with the laser removal? is the laser able to target individual hairs or does it just work in the area? my other concern would be how the skin will heal. i shave my head and the transplants i want to havve removed have the little circular punch would in my scalp. from what i understand that is supposed to smooth out once the hair is taken out or lasered. i'm going to try to post a couple of pics...thanks

has anyone had plugs removed? i've been reading about the procedure and it seems to be just what i'm looking for. i have been shaving my head over the last few years. my problem is the row of transplants at my hairline have that plug look and need to be removed. i would like to have that hair transplanted back into my donor area scars. i had my transplants back when i was 21 at bosley. i am happy shaving my head if i could just get these plugs taken out and some coverage of the donor scars. is plug removal consider a pretty standard practice among the doctors that do repair work? i would just be worried about seeing any scarring where the plugs are removed. thanks for any input.
