Senior Member Cahustler Posted October 2, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) So i had a year post OP appointment with Dr Diep (a year and a half after OP) he said my crown is a bit thin, i will provide pics later and that he suggested some A-cell shots.. i might take him up on that , he didnt mention another procedure but i did ask how many grafts it would be to fill the crown.. he suggested another FUT if that is the case.. i would probably prefer FUE and at the same time cover up the scar..he went off on like a 3rd procedure ..i swear he already knows what he wants to do with me and there is no changing his mind ...i asked him for repeat customer discount he said $500 off (LOL) : P anyway we are looking at 1500-2000 grafts to fill the crown but i am not sure i can endure another procedure...maybe if he puts me to sleep i might do it.. i do want to say though FUE is probably less invasive and less painful? you guys that did both can chime in on it...

Senior Member Britanium Posted October 2, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yup and in your shoes I would probs switch from FUT to FUE now. It is a good time to use beard grafts to fill in the scar 👍🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Norwood 6 yes I did. And still will be choosing Eugenix for my 6th. I’m ok with pain tolerance 🤩 Im guessing your FUT is pretty good now ?

I’m from the Uk, and we don’t have any options I would consider. Not for using so much BHT especially. My choices are really Bisanga and Eugenix. I did have a consultation/plan but then covid hit. Now it’s becoming easier to travel but they have a waiting list. It’s ok though I’m not in any rush whatsoever. I’m looking forward to seeing @Melvin- Moderatorresult since he is choosing them for mostly beard grafts also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that, but do you agree if i dont need a hairline design since i am only doing crown then the exclusive package should work? even at the highest level it is well worth it i agree 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
