Senior Member Janna Posted July 24, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 If you are thinking of another procedure to address your crown, be sure to do scalp laxity exercises starting in 2-3 months from now. There's Vitrase to help with the laxity during surgery but it wouldn't hurt to create some laxity on your own.

There's Vitrase to help with the laxity during surgery but it wouldn't hurt to create some laxity on your own. One reservation I have with doing scalp laxity exercises at 8-9 months post op is due to the increased width of the scar in one particular area (behind the right ear) , as I mentioned earlier in the thread . Dr Ron has suggested giving it the full year to see how it heals and adjusts further. Not sure if doing scalp laxity exercises will interfere with that healing process. Maybe it won't, but I may choose to play it safe here. Regardless , if I am opting for an FUE as my fourth and (hopefully) last procedure , do you still think scalp laxity exercises are needed ? I thought they were relevant only in case of FUSS where the donor area needs to be stitched back together . Thanks for the suggestion though and look forward to your comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004) FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011) FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015) FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185663-recent-fue-dr-ron-shapiro-prior-fut-patient.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
