Using FUE to fix sideburns

[TonyStark83]

Hello!

 

This is my post on this forum. I'm from Portugal and I have a Norwood 5 hair loss pattern.

 

I've already made 2 sessions of FUE with more than 2.200 follicles/grafts to 2 thirds of my scalp. Now in September I'm gonna do a last session to the last third of my head, it's the crown zone.

 

I've done the first 2 sessions in 20 and 21 of September 2012. So at 21 of May, this month, it's gonna be 8 months after my hair transplant.

 

The clinic where I've done it it's considered one of the best out tehre, it's called CM2C.

 

It's results have been fascinating and many celebrities use this clinic.

 

Now, in one of my sideburns I have a little scar with no hair (it's veryt iny but noticeable), it's from an accident I had when I was a kid.

 

It's no big deal at all but I still want to ask this.

 

Is there any problem with fixing the sideburns? Do the sideburns zone lose hair with time or that never happens?

 

If they fix the tiny scar (it's more like a line with no hair instead of a scar, per-se) do you think I should take the opportunity to ask them if they can put my sideburns with more hair?

 

My sideburns never had that much hair. They are just normal.

 

But do you think that I'm just wasting some important grafts that can be aimed to more important areas?

 

Attention: my donor area is excellent.

 

Obviously, this is not gonna be a problem in the near future since there's gonna appear those new techniques such as hair cloning and hair multiplication:

Shouldn't be a problem to implant some FUE in to your sideburns.

But generally is necessarily a lot of grafts or the number is fairly low for sideburns?

I'm thinking that sideburn hair is probably more similar to beard hair. You should ask the clinic if they do heard hair transplant.

Really?

 

Then I'm gonna ask them this week, I hope so.

It depends on where on the sideburn it is as to whether it would be closer to scalp or beard but I'm sure it can be done.

[Dr. Glenn Charles]

When I perform a hair transplant to the side burn area I usually find the part of the donor area that has the most coarse hairs. I have not done beard hairs to the side burns, but I do see why this could not be tried. However, I do not think that body hair transplants including fro the beard are as successful as grafts obtained from the scalp.

[TonyStark83]

So basically it's better getting hair from the scalp to sideburns instead of using beard or body hair, right?

 

Then to fix sideburns it's exactly the same as normal hair.

I had Dr. Feller place some grafts into a sparse area of my sideburn ad they grew just fine. It may be tougher for you since it's scar tissue, but worth a shot.

It's not exactly a scar, it's just more like a very tiny line without hair.

 

I've asked it to the trichologist and he said it's no problem at all, but he said to me to ask to my doctor.

 

I'm gonna have a reunion with my doctor when I reach the post-10 months to talk about the new session of FUE I'm gonna have in next September or so.,

 

Then I can ask about my sideburn.

I can't see that many grafts being needed for such a small area.

Probably you are right.
