Senior Member Dewayne Posted August 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2008 If you type it in the search, or look for Dr. Umar (sp?), you'll see some examples of him using body hair. I don't know if he can take it from your scrotum or anywhere, but I saw where he did it from the chest area. You might consider contacting Dr. Feller as well; as he does 'mini' FUE procedures that might be an option as well. 100?

Whoa! Well, that's what I get for trying to be funny I suppose. Ironically, I was thinking about using another word but feared "patchy" might be bigger than me; and I assumed he was a man.

Senior Member balody Posted August 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2008 patchy,im not qualified to answer your question but im sure a doc will be along soon who is. also plugs is the wrong word,you need fue;follicular unit extraction. looking at your pics though i would have thought you were an excellent candidate as long as you have good blood supply to the scar etc. 2381 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2201 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2000+ fut Dr Bessam Farjo My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Bessam Farjo challenge the unchallenged.

Dr. Timothy Carman Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 patchy- The procedure you require (covering the type of scars in similar position as yours from previous plastics procedures) can be very easily accommodated utilizing 2-300 grafts or so. These can be removed via FUE extraction, or thru a small (2-3 cm) strip excision. Both methods of extraction will prove to be cosmetically insignificant (with reference to the donor area) in the long run. I would not recommend BHT (pubic hair) as the donor hair quality/characteristics would be unsatisfactory in this situation. We have a number of patient examples that mirror your situation; I will try to get some time tomorrow to upload an example.

Regular Member patchy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 oh, thank you Dr Carman, id be really grateful if you could do that, i get so embarrassed swimming, my hair parts where the scars are, and that makes me soooo paranoid.. px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanthairs Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Patchy, I think I am more qualified than all the docs on this site to adequately answer your question. But first I would need to examine all the areas and then reach a sound conclusion. You can send me a private message and I will give you directions to my home clinic in Florida... Oh and dont be alarmed by the total absence of any medical certifications on the wall........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanthairs Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 by the way--- seriously now---your scars are SO minimal. I would not worry about it. Im sure barely anyone notices anything. In fact if you showed that pic without mentioning anything about scars i am sure noone would ever notice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Jotronic Posted August 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 Patchy, Forget about pubic hair for transplantation. I've seen it done and it ain't pretty. The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member The Goz Posted August 13, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 Patchy, Any hairs on the body can be used anywhere on the body. The problems that our doctors detail about pubic hair is the texture, growth cycle, and the sweat glands. Have you consulted with someone to do a scar revision/removal? I am sure the coalition doctors could evaluate your scars with this in mind. Good luck to you.

Regular Member patchy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 actually ive seen a lot of cosmetic surgeons here in the uk, all say it would be difficult to remove as the skin is tight on my scalp?.. only 3 months ago one surgeon tried to remove it whilst i was having other stuff done and when the stich dropped off the ugly scar was still there?....... he was a bit of a quack?......

Regular Member patchy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 also im not too worried about texture of hair as my intention is only to hide the scar its-self. anyway, back the public hair transplant, i aint got that many?...... so i think thats out?... sorry to gross everyone out?....... px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Patchy, I'm not so sure you'd even want to use pubic hair or any other body hair in such a concentrated area, especially in one area of your scalp like the front. Body hair transplantation may be a viable option for some, but I'm a firm believer in using scalp hair first is better both for consistency with scalp hair, longer growth cycles than body hair, and growth yield.

Regular Member patchy Posted August 13, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 i agree,... id end up being pariond about that then?..... i think i will go for head hair transplant.... whos the best one in the u.k?.... px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted August 13, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 Best one in UK? That probably would be any airline which you have to use to hop on a plane and come to US or Canada to get it done first grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Patchy, See also my response to you on this thread. Despite some people buying into the dogma that you can't get a good hair transplant in the UK, in my opinion and based all the evidence I've seen, I believe the Farjo clinic is in par with the leading physicians in North America. I'd consider consulting with them along with any others you are considering. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
