Regular Member RCKHair Posted April 23, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 So I'm 3.5 months post op from a 2500 graft, 3800 hair procedure to my hairline. My Doc said I had plenty of donor left but didn't give me an exact amount so I'm wondering if anyone can estimate how much donor I have left and how my donor area looks overall. The strip previously taken was from the back of the head only, he didn't have to extend it to the sides of my head if thats any helps. I have thick, curly and coarse hair if thats any help too. Pic was taken under harsh lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted April 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 It is dense for sure. Depends on laxity but it looks like you could have many thousands in the bank. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RCKHair Posted April 23, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well its still too early to give a definite answer Taco but things are progressing. I am seeing some growth albeit minor but its what is expected at this point. I'm withholding judgment until a few more months when I can get a better idea of the success of the OP.

Regular Member RCKHair Posted April 23, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 In time if I require more surgery I would elect to go FUE the rest of the way if possible or a combination of FUT and FUE, whatever maximized my grafts.

Senior Member hairthere Posted April 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 You already have the strip scar so it wouldn't make much sense to switch to FUE. The best way to maximize your donor now is to strip out, then go to FUE.

Regular Member RCKHair Posted April 24, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 24, 2013 Can you elaborate, what do you mean it doesn't make sense to switch to FUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member tacolinowest Posted April 24, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 24, 2013 Fue is good cuz it dosent leave a scar, but since u already have one it dosent make sense to do fue, the yield isn't as good as fut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
