HairQuestions

Somewhere on one of these forums I read that the scalp eventually turns 'sheet white' after a hair transplant due to all the scar tissue from the insicions. Is there any truth to this? I've never seen it in any of the pictures you guys have posted, so I don't know if it's BS or not.

Thanks.

Judging from several posts, I've noticed that scalp numbness/tingling is sort of an issue after a HT. How long does that generally last? Is there a possibility that feeling will never be regained in the scapt after a HT?

Thanks so much for all the input guys.

Regarding the lower amount of FUs, the reason given to me had to do with not wanting to crowd the plugs, so as to ensure a good blood supply. I really didn't understand the reasoning behind that though (but maybe there is some logial reason behind it), because later in the session he had mentioned something about doing another HT if I wanted to thicken it up later. I don't understand what the difference is between doing it all at once or 2 HT sessions? Also, I have some hair left in the front and he said that he didn't want to damage that.

Out of curiosity, what is the Coalition?

I'm 29 years old and have noticed the hair loss since about my mid/late teens. By looking at the pictures, I'd say I'm about a Norwood 4. I have a lot of recession at the temples and some minor loss at the top and crown of my head.

The 1200-1400 FU's were recommended to me during the consulation at Dr. Tessler's office for the hairline area. I was told that this would be enough for the area that I was focused on.

Another question...

When they take the strip, do they do the large ear to ear strip, regarless of whether or not all the hair is going to be used?

Has anyone here had a transplant with Dr. Tessler in Michigan? If so, are you satisfied with the results?

Thanks!

I'm potentially going to be doing a 1200-1400 FU transplant, and I'm curious to know how long it'll take approx. to remove the strip and sew my head back together? This is the part that I'm dreading the most.
