Senior Member home1212 Posted October 17, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2015 I don't know the competency or reputation of the doctor that suggested beard grafts for you, but that is absolutely absurd when you have such great hair characteristics and a full and undepleted donor - do yourself a favor and steer clear of beard grafts - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the beard grafts and that i want to preserve my donor in case i lose more hair and the doctor suggested to use the beard grafts. He didnt metion the beard grafts until i did thinking of using them in the in the end. As and plan b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member home1212 Posted October 17, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2015 whether you mentioned it first or not, I believe any reputable physician would have steered you away from that option as not being the best plan of attack for your situation, just as nearly everyone who replied in this thread is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the doctor is confident he can do a good job? anyways what do you guys think of the hairline? To aggresive? To low placed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member home1212 Posted October 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2015 i don't think you do understand. beard hairs are not used as a first option and they are not the "standard" in hair transplantation when you have a good donor supply as you do - beard hairs may be considered a "last option" if your donor is depleted - and they will still will be subpar to your head hair - best of luck to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member darlinglocks Posted October 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 mosd, We do understand that you want to preserve your donor hair, we all do but in all posts here, we are telling you the same "Beard hairs are not used as a first option and they are not the "standard" in hair transplantation when you have a good donor supply as you do - beard hairs may be considered a "last option" if your donor is depleted - and they will still will be subpar to your head hair - Understand that undergoing an HT is not a game and you want to make sure you have the best results and hair on your head. Why risk that? I do not even understand your surgeon who doesn't make that quite clear to you. Do a little more research before you take the plunge. Nobody here on this forum who had an HT would take that risk. Ask other surgeons, make 2 or 3 online consultations and listen to what they will tell you.

Senior Member mosd Posted October 19, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 ive decided i will not use the beard grafts then. Thanks for your input. The main issue now is where to place the hairline! Is the one the doctor designed to low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted October 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 You should seriously take your time and go to a few other doctors for consultation. Don't go for the first doctor that is charming and has nice pictures on his site. If he was okay with the idea of using beard hairs on with your donor and situation I would walk away. Thats a red flag. Take your time. There is no rush. In a year you'll know 100 times more about exactly what will be good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted October 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 i have been on hairloss forums for over 5 years. Been reading alot. Also ive been in contact with more than 6 clinics. Ah. Good to know. Sorry about that. About your hairline. It might be a "little" low. I'm sure you could get something near that though. Maybe with a big first pass and then a touch up a year later. But yea, like the others said don't go beard hair. You want to find a Dr. who specializes in FUE and knocks out great results consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like if i move it up further i will very close to the hairline im having now. How much more should move it up? 1cm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
