Hi
My hair loss was not all that noticable to most people (I'm a 3V on the Norwood charts; some thinning in the vertex along with receeding in the temples)
I have had two HT surguries with about 1500 FU each. I have fairly thick donor hair and was hoping at least to fill the approximately 20 sqcm in the temples left and right with a decent density of about 40 FU per sqcm plus some coverage in the vertex. (Mathematically this seems reasonable.
After the first surgery, I barely had 8-10 hairs per sqcm and after the second surgery a year later the density is still only about 15 hair per sqcm so my overall appearance really hasn't changed much at all.
And just as bad is that I have a big scar just above and to the aft of my ear (an area of about 6sqcm) due to a bleeding problem while he closed the wound at the donor site and apparently used a laser to stop the bleeding. This is quite a big hole where the laser killed off the hair follicles and has created basically a very smooth, hairless scar tissue. How will he ever be able to close this gap, even if I have a third procedure done? He is a nice guy and I do not necessarily want to accuse him of doing a poor job (especially, since my particular surgical circumstances may have led to the difficulties.) Also, why can't this highly recommended surgeon get a higher density than only about 10 sqcm in a session?
Thanks a lot, Colin
