As Melvin said, continue to be careful with it so that it has a chance to mature as a thin scar. whats your age? Are you on fin? Do you plan to wear your back and sides longer moving forward? I imagine the FUT scar would be visible at the length you have in the preop pics. Thanks im 35, I use fin plus dutasteride every three days.

If not, it would be interesting and helpful for others to see where you started from prior to your FUE, how many grafts, etc and to get a feel for how it’s held up over the last 6 years.

Yes look at my signature about my first procedure. also, no sides from fin anymore. I have now been on it for 14 years. In the first 6 months I had some depression, and the other typical sides but then it all went away. I added dutasteride about 3 years ago once every three days, no sides.

Senior Member duchaine Posted April 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hallo, your HT is very promising and the scar looks good! Just to satisfy my curiosity. I'm a big fun of unshaven hair transplant. In fact, the only thing I hate of Ht is the time I need to re-grow my hair! But in your case, considering the "weird" hair cut you had after the operation, why didn't you shave your head before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t shave before the transplant because I wanted the surgeon to get a clear picture of where my thinning was.

Bloxham was very close by but the thing that sold me was his work that I saw on YOuTube. It started when I went for a consultation so he could tell me how many grafts I had left for another surgery, I was not intending to go with him at first. I just wanted an evaluation of my graft count so I could go to Turkey again with some other doctor. But when I sat down with him, everything he explained sold me on his work. Then I watched every video with him and Dr Fellar on YouTube and I was sold on FUT with Bloxham. 2 1 2701 Grafts FUE - Dr. Erkan Demirsoy - June 2014 - https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/56444-dr-demirsoy-june-2014-2701-grafts-5-years-later/ 1500 Grafts FUT - Dr. Blake Bloxham - 3/13/2020 - https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/56445-dr-blake-bloxham-fut-1500-grafts-31320/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
