Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2015 Johny, Why do you want this done? Altogether, I'm not sure the plan makes sense. First, revision in the donor area isn't generally performed until the 12 month mark - at the earliest. Second, FUE scarring generally doesn't require this type of scar revision. Third, 1,555 grafts harvested from the donor region should not cause significant thinning in the donor region. Fourth, leg hair grafts generally grow poorly and aren't used in the scalp. Fifth, seeking the "cheapest" hair transplant procedure, no matter how small or trivial, is usually never a good idea.

Regular Member 4johnybravo Posted January 2, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2015 At the moment I am just seeking names of doctors to start considering yes I would wait longer, about 9 months probably, then go through with it,if I can find it cheap enough it would be worth having done I believe, for piece of mind, my leg hairs are 2 inches long and of good quality.

Senior Member pkipling Posted January 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2015 Aside from all the points already mentioned, I suggest you at least wait until your hair starts growing back in to see how your hair looks in the donor area. Chances are you won't even miss the donor hair and I can't imagine it's so scarce back there that it would be worth even considering. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Peperoni Posted January 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted January 3, 2015 Wow Johnny I would seriously wait until you see how your donor area recovers. Having a procedure so recently will give you no indication of what your donor area will look like when it is recovered. There may be some shock loss now and it will undoubtedly look thinner at this time but once it has recovered you may feel very differently. Also, leg hair has not got a great success rate and if you need work doing in the future you may be transplanting leg hair from the donor to where it is needed most. I would seriously considering leaving it be and seeing a) how your donor recovers and b) consider if you are likely to need more work on your scalp in the future. Like so many of us on here, you need a little patience ... Grow well my friend ... Pepe .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
