Sparky

How are you getting on now Mark? Have you looked into going to a good Dr that doesn't use Acell for repair?

3 months is even to short when it comes to strip, if I was ever to strip again (which I won't) I'd wait 6 months plus.

There aren't any results, Acell was a big mistake and seems to of done much more damage than good. I don't know anything about the Acell strip, but the powder seems to have a similar effect to pouring acid on the wound.

There was someone on here who had a scar revision with Acell, but has since vanished, I'm sure if he was happy he would of posted his results, as he posted all of his results beforehand.

You were smarter than me, he did if for a very cheap price, but it cost me loads to get it fixed.

I could of continued losing hair, my dad is bald and all my grandads were aswell, I was very very lucky that I didn't lose more hair.

I regret it almost everyday, trying to get past it now though or I will ruin my present lamenting the past.

1.65mm???

I assume this is punching out 2 fue's at the same time then?

I like the thick temple points, looks like he got a tan too!

I was 22, NW1.5 wanted Tom Cruise's hairline, and a notoriously bad UK Dr, cut a strip out of the back of my head for about 250 grafts, took him 45 mins, start to finish.

Yes I know he didn't put a gun to my head and force me to do surgery, but he should of turned me down and explained that I wasn't a candidate. He has since been struck off the medical register and is no longer a Dr.

I had more surgeries to cover up that mistake, but it just compounded the issue as I went to another equally bad clinic in the UK.

I have now had a lot of the bad grafts removed and replaced and had fue into the scar.

All in all, it would of been a million times better if I had just grown old gracefully, although now I still haven't really lost much hair and would place my NW level at just about a 2, with no diffuse thinning.

This started in mid 1998.

Very good to have a plan, something that a 22 year old Sparky lacked big time!

If you have fue to frame your face and then shave it, your head will still be cold.

Hi Dr. Lindsey,

My friends son has a similar sized bald patch in the crown area, it had something to do with him being an IVF baby. He has had it cut out 3 times but there is still a patch about 3 times the size of this.

I advised my friend not to get any more revisions done to his son, and that I had heard of this procedure called fue (he knows nothing about my hair!)

He does have some hair growing in it but not much, do you think this was a good call considering the fact that he has all ready had 3 ops on it? I would of thought 4-500 fue will fill it in.

One issue is he is only 7 years old, so I was wondering what would be the best age for this to be done?

Regards

Sparky

It doesn't matter by which Dr's, any results would be interesting, as the owner of a less than spectacular strip scar this is of interest.

Can you link to some threads with improvement in scars when Acell has been used?

I think that he should explain why, I was just hypothesizing on the reasons why he didn't.

If you definitely want to go this route, then I would say strip first because the strip won't have had fue's taken from it before hand.

All depends on your NW level I suppose.

Maybe Dr Keser gets a LOT of requests for high level NW cases and has just decided to get straight to the point with the people who are asking for this, no one has any reason to act like their feelings have been hurt or something silly like that, just accept that he doesn't want to do them and move on.

You can expect to get growth all the way up to 18 months, 6 months would still be early days, looking good at this point.

He is using the Choi implanter????

He's talking about someone else in the thread Blake, think he just put your name instead of theirs by mistake.

I have seen some really good results from Dr Keser despite what method he uses, the fact they he turned it down means he's not all about the money, as he could just take your money and do what you want, but he may feel that you won't achieve what you are aiming for.

Didn't know he used micrometer machine and lateral slits. Good call to only consider Dr's that only do HT's. Would not trust my head with Arty the robot though.

69 quid return when I went 3 weeks ago!

Can confirm that Bisanga doesn't need to shave recipient, I asked him to anyway though, not sure about others though.

I've seen a repair case from him where he grafted a scar, and I did mention that not all of those names would do a big case.

Actually I have seen a few repair cases from him.

They might not all be willing to do a NW6/7 restore but they are all very good at fue.

Dr Bisanga in Brussels, Dr Umar in Redondo Beach L.A, Dr Keser in Turkey, Dr Lorenzo at Injertocapilar.

go to your gp mate, if you havent already...
