Thanks harryforreal! Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures with his hair raised. I personally believe that both blades and implanter pens cause a comparable amount of trauma to the scalp and produce similar results, all depends on the size of the implantation tool. Kind regards, Dr. B. Feriduni

Thanks thatoldchestnut for the compliment! To Newbie33 and Pelo123: 'Ex domo' literally means 'out of house' so his first procedure was indeed performed at a different clinic. To answer Newbie33 's question: this patient wasn't keen on having a second strip surgery due to the discomfort and longer recovery period of a strip surgery so he opted for FUE. To Spanker: the result of his first surgery was nice and his scar looked very good so it was indeed more an enhancement on his previous result and not so much a repair case.
