Senior Member mustang Posted November 7, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Dr Mwamba had quite a few (amazing) cases of FUT scar repairs with BHT, unfortunately there was a breaking in his Brussels clinic and they took the hard drives and computers. He will never be able to post them so I really hope my case and David's help bring him back to the spotlight a little more. He is a world class surgeon and a pioneer in this field and probably the nicest and most patient Dr I have ever had surgery with. My donor is improving weekly. I can feel many hairs coming out when I touch. I hope all the larger spots can be closed and then get SMP.

Impressive ! Is that 2800-3000 extractions that will leave the area fully bald, or 2800-3000 that will leave the area depleted yet still with lower density coverage ? Would love to see some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, this is such impressive number. I’m hoping for similar numbers myself. Those of us lacking in scalp hair do seem to be blessed with great beards!

How many sessions have you had overall? 12 so far my friend and 3 more sessions to go. 300 grafts to the crown, 700 grafts to zone 2 and 3 and probably a last pass of 300-400 BHT into the donor area. After that some SMP my work will be completed. I am very happy with my hair, this journey and everything in between.

Senior Member mustang Posted November 13, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2020 Not on the picture but yes, I did 750 grafts on the crown FUE with Dra Vila in Spain and previously I had done 500 grafts FUE/BHT I am set for one last pass of about 300-400 grafts to the crown to achieve density of 40 grafts per square cm. More than enough. All doubles and triples of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mustang Posted November 20, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just got a hair cut. 4 months actually today. I am happy but still hoping to see and improvement on the marked zone. I might add another 250-300 BHT to that area but I will wait for further improvements before doing so. The left side is pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s tempting, I’ve never seen it executed until now. Past a certain point though, you have to get small sessions, to make sure you don’t deplete the donor too much.

Me also - this thread has really changed my game plan. For me personally, I’d much rather have native scalp donor used to replenish my bald areas up top because I feel that aesthetically - you are replacing like for like. BHT has always been used as a ‘filler’ , so for me it makes more sense for my donor to be ‘filled’ and my recipient to take the brunt of the good hairs available. I think this makes even more sense if you keep your hair short around the back and sides. I might bump a thread I started around this a few months ago and see if there are any more doctors who can input - because right now I’ve only came across Dr Mwamba who’s doing this, so would be great to see more feedback across the globe. With upto 3000 available BHT grafts under the neck, this could open up a huge amount of extra grafts available to use for people with more modest donors.

Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted November 21, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 21, 2020 Excellent documentation! I’ve never seen donor repaired in this manner on the forum but I’m glad your sharing your experience. Totally fascinating and it it’s already looking tremendous. Also, suuuper jealous of your recipient. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
