Sorry about your botched hair transplant friend. But I think you're right, it's time to call it quits. If I were in your position, I'd look into firstly minimising the scar, and then doing smp on your whole head (make sure you visit a good artist) to try and minimise the damage as much as possible. I think that's probably your best option right now. Good luck!

@Rahal Hair Transplant Hi doctor, is it possible for the same single graft to shed and then re grow and quickly shed again before finally growing normally? I had some shedding around 4 or 5 months where the hair was still really short, but then felt sharp stubbles of hair growing again in its place a few days/week later.

@RTC Okay bro, that sounds good then. Like i said, I'll try and get Dr Laorwong to supplement the beard grafts from somewhere else (if possible). Another question if I may, although the procedure is next week and there isn't a whole lot of time, is there anything I can do to prepare myself and improve chances of graft survivability? Would something like PRP shortly prior to the operation improve chances, or some type of needling, or even just massaging the area? I also read somewhere that fin/min affects beard grafts when implemented. Is this true because it makes little sense?

@RTC Appreciate the response brother. I read your post and I'm a little less anxious now. Your donor area is looking great now and if i can achieve similar results, I'll be more than happy. My only concern is the density of my beard. How's your beard looking now? Can you still grow it out and not look patchy or thin? Thanks again guys. Will keep everyone posted when I go ahead with my surgery on the 31st of July.

Did the initial 500 beard grafts grow from the first surgery? I'm surprised since i thought bht was relatively new and only adopted in the early to mid 2000s. @AhmadChaudhry Do you by any chance have photos of the beard grown out after the extractions? I'd be very interested if someone can provide any examples of what beards look like a few months after extracting grafts and growing it out.

@A_4_Archan Thank you brother. I've already been in communication with Alex and he's probably the reason why i chose Dr Laorwong. @AhmadChaudhry In that case, maybe i can supplement the grafts from other areas in my donor and homogenous it. According to both Dr Path and Laorwong, 6 months is enough time to do a bht into the scar, and also enough time to determine if it's overharvested. Even Dr Mwamba was happy to book me in for a surgery at the 6 month mark, but i chose to go with dr Laorwong since Bangkok is much closer to me. I'm not sure if i can wait another 6 months before doing the surgery. I'm just really desperate to get my life back. I'll also attach post and pre surgery photos. You'll be able to see the areas that were overharvested. I knew the moment the bandages came off that something was terribly wrong. Sadly, I was suppose to be a groomsman twice in September this year and had to cancel both, effectively ending two friendships. Instead, I'll be doing another surgery. It's really sad.

Hi friends, around 6 months ago I had an fue of around 2500 grafts with Dr Civas in Ankara. Unfortunately, I did little research and put my faith in the doctor as he seemed very experienced and somewhat reputable. Now, at 6 months, I've had very minimal growth in my recipent area, which I'm not worried about as I know it takes around 8-10 months for results to be visible. However, I am very concerned about my donor area. It seems they've extracted too many grafts and it's now very much over harvested. I have a bht scar repair of around 800 grafts scheduled next week with Dr Laorwong. I'm starting to feel very nervous as I think I have some type of mental trauma from the first surgery. I just need some advice right now please. 1. What do you guys of my donor? 2. How successful are bht beard grafts into donor scars? 3. My last surgery was only 6 months ago. Will this cause any complications? 4. I love my beard and I'm scared it will not have the same aesthetic value after extracting 800 grafts and I won't be able to grow it out. What do you guys think? 5. Based on the picture, how many available grafts do you guys think I have in my beard? Any help would be greatly appreciated. You guys don't know the stress I've had to endure because of this. I'm now actually envious of bald men without scars. Thank you.
