Regular Member Gigantass Posted March 15, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2017 Zero gaurd on the edges, 1 gaurd, then into a 2 gaurd, the scar is invisible and has been since 4 months. Growth in the last 2 months is amazing and I can still feel new hairs coming!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted April 10, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2017 the scar is invisible and has been since 4 months To be honest (and this is in no way intended criticise your results, which are looking superb by the way!) I think that may be due to the fact that H & W appear to routinely take their FUT scars quite a bit higher than other clinics in order to facilitate this type of haircut. Again, not really a negative, but I don't think it's down to some "scar-wizardry" (though obviously, H&W have more experience than most when it comes to FUT)!

H & W Doug Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 To be honest (and this is in no way intended criticise your results, which are looking superb by the way!) I think that may be due to the fact that H & W appear to routinely take their FUT scars quite a bit higher than other clinics in order to facilitate this type of haircut. Again, not really a negative, but I don't think it's down to some "scar-wizardry" (though obviously, H&W have more experience than most when it comes to FUT)! No offense taken. Thanks for the compliment. What I might add in response is that often times the best donor hair is higher up. In addition, if the patient wants to wear a fade, the doc can take the hair a little higher in the permanent zone. If taken too low, especially in cases of retrograde loss, you can run the risk of getting hair that may not be as strong and susceptible to thinning. On many of our repair patients I've also seen incisions taken to low even without much retrograde and if too low, the skin tends to be more elastic and the scar can stretch. I do believe over the years good doctors have taken notice that taking the strip too low is not ideal. I agree, no "scar-wizardry", just knowledge, experience and skill. On another note, Gigantass: Fabulous! I am a salaried employee of Hasson and Wong since 2001. Opinions expressed are my own.

Senior Member garethbale Posted July 4, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 4, 2017 Congrats mate. This result is epic! One thing though I notice it took a while for the redness to disappear in the recipient site. Was this an issue in respect of work colleagues etc, did they notice and how did you deal with work / social situations? I'm paranoid about my head looking really red and people picking up on it. Though my loss is less advanced than yours so may be less of an issue. Your hairline is better now though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member tofur Posted July 11, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2017 I wore a hat and told everyone I had a weird rash that I had an appointment to see a dermatologist, worked fine I've been thinking about this awkward ugly duckling stage and wonder if it isn't easier to just own up to the transplant, especially in cases like yours where the before/after is a massive obvious change. Might be liberating to just own it and give no f*cks. Anyway, it's crazy how short you have your hair on the sides with a strip scar and how huge the difference is. This is pushing me towards FUT to be honest, the scar is the main thing putting me off it but the more I think about it the less I care especially considering all the trade offs. It'll be covered in hair so who cares, plus you can do FUE into it or SMP if that fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JayLDD Posted September 1, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'm thinking of dyeing mine a little darker too. Similar hair texture and colour to you I think. Looks good, and the result is of course top notch. You could be a hair model now.
