Permanent Discomfort FUT Scar?

[CMEPCMEP]

I am scheduled with Dr. Feller for my initial consultation in a couple of weeks. This would be my first, I'm still a virgin. If I qualify, I have intentions of pursuing FUE. I am willing to forfeit one FUT mega session for two FUE. For me, it comes down to the scar. But less cosmetically, I don't buzz, I have length. It's more so the slim possibility of permanent pulling or discomfort.

 

Over the course of viewing forums for about two years, I did see a couple of remote cases. I know it's few and far between and certainly depends on the doctor. However, I did have an issue with a scar and pulling when I was young. I know it's unrelated to this, but that fear does exist for me. I guess I'm spooked.

 

Could anyone come forward with a case that supports this? Let's say nine months post op or more. Is anyone living with permanent discomfort?

 

(If this thread has already been addressed, please re-direct me. Additionally, I wanted to thank everyone on the forums for educating me over the last two years. I certainly wouldn't be this far along without your help ??“ invaluable information.)

I cant find a single fue mark let alone feel them and I'm less than 5 months post op. I can however feel my strip scar at 8 years post op.

Wow! How bad is "feel"?

 

And I'm also wondering what the ceiling is in terms of how many grafts you can get out of FUE, two sessions. Can you get 2,500 or more total? Or do you start running out?

I know someone who has restored his entire head from NW6 to NW1 with just fue. He had 7000 taken from his head and about 1000 from his beard and chest, and I cant find any fue marks on his head.

 

My scar doesnt hurt, but I am aware of it, not always though, it comes and goes.

My friend who had this done has good donor though, his count was 110 per sq cm.

7000! That's amazing. I didn't know that. In the end, for me it'll all depend on whether Dr. Feller considers me a viable candidate or not. I'll be optimistic.

Thanks Spex! I was hoping to hear from you!

 

I'm totally not concerned about Dr. Feller's skill level either way. He has 100% of my confidence. But if I do not qualify for FUE and have to make a decision to go strip, I wanted to explore some depth. The good thing is, not many people are responding to this thread!

Spex is right, my scar did come from a Demon that just happened to perform hair transplants, however, I would still recommend fue anyday over strip.

I stopped noticing my strip scar after about 1 month. Even if I press on it now I can hardly notice anything and I'm not even 2 months. That said, I can't yet speak to how it will eventually look visually.
