Essentially I only need 400 or so single follicle grafts to fix a slightly pluggy hairline and acquire some temple points. I don't want any multis to be harvested because they will have no where to to implanted into. I'm curious if there are surgeons skilled in dividing multi-follicular units into individual ones, or if there are surgeons who specialize in exclusively extracting single follicular units from the donor area.

Can you please tell us where to get verteporfin?

Im very new to hair transplants. Can you please explain the dissecting grafts part? Is this something most surgeons can do?

Lets say if someone only needed temple points done and have no use for any multis, is it possible or realistic to only extract single grafts?

This may be a dumb question, but I was wondering wouldn't it be easier to remove all the bad grafts with elecrolysis and then redo the transplant. This way would be cheaper and requires only one surgery.

Did Bisanga say if electrolysis would be ok to remove those grafts?

Thank you again for your reply, you are an absolute angel. I added 2 more pictures in the original link. https://imgur.com/a/OgICVsW It actually does look that bad when I don't comb it forward or sideways. It looks ok with gel tbh. And my donor is quite a bit above average. The back of my head is quite large in proportion compared to the front. I will remove it with electrolysis before consulting any doctor. I will also be on dutasteride for life so chances are my natural hair will not reach NW 5-6? (what are your thoughts on this statement?) Also, verteporfin will be out so I can at least get a few thousand grafts from that.

Is this mostly the case with FUE punchouts or will electrolysis result in the same thing? And to what extent does it reduce survival rate? Would you recommend going less dense on the repair procedure to ensure a higher survival rate?

Its 5-5.5cm, which looks quite low. So I will probably get electrolysis to move it up at least 5mm before rebuilding. And thank you for the alternating removal suggestions, I will look into that.

@HappyMan2021 @Gatsby @gillenator @Berba11 Posted a thread a while ago but now I added a pic to hopefully get some advice from experienced members. I had 1700 grafts and as you guys can see the hairs stick up like antennas. I am kind of torn between: 1. Remove only the frontal part of the transplanted region (a few hundred grafts at the very front) then implant correctly angled hairs to camouflage it 2. Remove every transplanted hair before implanting new hairs. Any input is much appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/OgICVsW

Thank you for your reply, I am probably gonna go for electrolysis when verteporfin becomes approved for FUE. I want to ask you this since you have experience with this. I had about 1700 grafts transplanted on the hairline and they stick upwards perpendicularly from the scalp which looks very unnatural. I was wondering if removing the frontal half of the transplanted hairs and then implanting better-angled grafts with another FUE procedure will be enough to mask this. Or do I need to remove essentially all 1700 previous transplanted hairs and start from scratch if I want a natural result? In other words, can implanting correctly angled hairs in front of mis-angled hairs camouflage the unnaturalness, or do I need to remove all the mis-angled hairs before I go for another FUE?

Edit: commented too late

Can we see what your hairline looked like before? Also, did you have to take oral antibiotics for this?

Pretty bad. He gave me a crooked hairline with no micro irregularities and a dozen multis on the hairline.

I have been on for 3 years, no side effects at all. Best decision I have ever made.

@Gatsby @Berba11 I have seen a few cases of punching the grafts out, but most of those cases had people with very sparce hair. So I was wondering if its still possible to punch it out when the transplanted region is very dense like mine or will the damage be too much. I fine with taking multiple sessions, I just want the peace of mind to know whether its possible or not.

Yes I'm certain its too low and I want them punched out. I was just wondering if its possible to do it without it scarring to bad. Edit: I heard eletrolysis can take more than 12 sessions and 2 years to completely remove hairs, so Idk if thats a good idea.

No, its way too low. Its on the frontalis already on the lower side.

You dont need a pic to see what I mean, one side is like 3mm lower than the other lol

Yeah, I estimate about 400. Hopefully I can get it done in 2 sessions.

Hello guys, I went for a hair transplant at 23 in Mexico and the surgeon gave me a very crooked result. This resulted in one side of the hair line to be too low while the other side was at the perfect height. The issue is, this surgeon packed my hairline very densely, so I was wondering if its even practical to punch out all the grafts on the side that is too low with FUE and put them back in my donor zone.

I heard that dissecting the multi into singles damaged the hair and reduces its survival rate quite a bit? Is this true?

My hairline is very good but I just need some temple work done with just a few hundred grafts. I understand that the temples must use thin single follicle grafts to look natural, so I was wondering if a surgeon can only takeout single grafts and preserve the rest, because if they extract multi follicle grafts they will go to waste.
