Senior Member Anouar Posted May 19, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2011 ej, there wasn't a discussion to excise some of the scar and then plant some beard hairs? All the best keep ups posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ej Posted May 20, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hi Anouar , thanks for the well wishes defo keep you updated with photos . Yes we checked the donor laxity at the consultation and decided against revision , i have had several strips in the past so didnt want to risk it , Im aware a few people have gone down the revision road and regretted it as a couple of months later the scars have stretched back to what they were prior revision, I believe its quite common and there are no guarantees with revision so rather just go the fue route ! regards ej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessie1 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ej, This is an exciting and unusual case. I have a terrible strip sar but nothing like this (respectfully speaking). I will be looking to graft into my strip scar down the line after I sort my hairline out which is the main priority. Dr Bisanga's consultations are excellent and this case is an excellent example of his ability. Can't wait for the pics.... Jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HARIRI Posted September 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks EJ. You really give me hope of using my beard hair for my scar as it needs 600 grafts..That will make me save my remaining scalp donor of 4000 grafts in the future. :-) Plug removal + Strip scar revision - Dr. Ali Karadeniz (AEK)- May 23, 2015 Plug removal + 250 FUE temple points- Dr. Hakan Doganay (AHD)- July 3, 2013 Scar Tricopigmentation- Dr. Koray Erdogan (ASMED)- May 3, 2013 2500 FUT (Hairline Repair)- Dr. Rahal- July 26, 2011 My Hair Treatments: 1- Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo (Daily) 2- Regaine Solution Minoxidil 5% (2 ml once a day) 3- GNC Ultra NourishHair™ (Once a day) 4- GNC Herbal Plus Standardized Saw Palmetto (Once a day) My Rahal HT thread http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/164456-2500-fut-dr-rahal-hairline-repair.html[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member orlhair1 Posted September 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Hariri, I thought you just had surgery with Dr. Rahal? EJ, I am sure that will significantly improve the big scar you had. Good luck and keep us posted.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted September 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2011 Yeah, Dr. Rahal improved my scar but not that much cause its hard to. My scar was 1cm wide straight line, so what Dr. Rahal did is lengthen the scar up to the ear (smiley face shape) and reduce the original scar to be around 0.6cm and the original ends around 0.7cm. While the fresh scar created which is goin to the ear is pencil thin around 0.4cm... So thats how my scar is like ... start from the ear 0.4cm up to the side of my back head its 0.7cm then gradually goes 0.6cm in the centre.. from both ways.

Senior Member ej Posted October 31, 2011 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) Hi Harriri These pictures were taken today ( nine days short of six months out ).. I think the hairs that didnt fall out are visible due to colour , i have a few velous stubbly bits so hope for more growth over the next few months , thanks for your interest all the best ej Edited August 15, 2012 by ej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
