Hair Transplant after years

[Raymond92]

Hi there. The question would be, if someone is doing a fue hair implant that we say is not happy with the result in a year or more, can they wear very short or shaved hair? I mean, for example, if you completely shave the donor area, will the wounds be very visible?

I recently did a hair transplant and am wondering if I would be more bald or wear short hair years later, can I fix it? or is only micropigmentation the solution?

I currently have 5,000 grafts taken out. And weird, because now that I had my hair implanted, I regretted a little that I didn’t accept myself bald like a lot of people in my environment. And as you know, baldness will continue for years to come, so I wonder what the solution will be years from now, let’s say I don’t want to spend a lot of money on medicines or other hair implants anymore.

For example, Joe Rogan had several hair transplants, now he shaved, but I don’t see that the surgery on his head would be very visible. Can everyone be as "lucky" as he is?

 

In my case, they used the micro fue saphire technique and took out 5,000 grafts with it. Now I may be happy with the result for five years, but after that, if I want to shave my head, is it possible?

I was also wondering what your age is Raymond92? The reason being is because the older a person is (compared to someone who is in their late teens/early twenties) the more concrete their expectations are with hair transplants. You could grow your hair and one day decide to shave it (like I have currently). You may or may not be too concerned about scars. I'm concerned about my scars but I'm certainly not depressed. If you had FUE then you would be an excellent candidate for SMP. Joe Rogan does have a noticeable FUT scar from only one procedure I believe (?). He calls it his 'smile.' He's done nothing to hide it (in terms of SMP, etc) and has moved on with his life. All the best.

If you got your first HT just 5 weeks ago then give it time to blossom before throwing in the towel and shaving it all off.  That said, we would have to see your donor area before guesstimating whether the scars will show or not.  It all depends what punch size was used and how you heal.

The clinic said the puch size was 04. mm

Usual FUE punch size is between 0.6 - 1.4mm.

the clinic said to me, this is micro fue saphire techniue. And the puch size is 0.4 mm. Is this false than?

0.6mm I would think they used. Can you check with them?

Yes, but even if the needle was small, I still have a shock loss. Do you think this will go away and this area will be denser?

[Britanium]

Yes it should improve, it can take a few months though.

The scaring will be permanent. If you shave your head down there will be a noticeable difference between your native stubble and the areas that have been extracted. That being said if you can find a skilled SMP artist you may be able to camouflage the scarring.

 

The only thing that your dealing with now is the scarring at the top from the incisions made. 

 

5,000 grafts in one go is a ballsy gamble, I hope you recover well mate.

Yes.  They'll be little discolored dots, probably a little whiter than your normal scalp color.  0.4 punch? Doubt it.

And if I leave it as far to the side as the person in the picture?  For example, he had a hair implant, then he cut it bald and he doesn’t see it

For some reason, I don't give a damn about his hair...

I agree, he has a concealer better than toppik or even dermmatch wrapped around his back!

He’s not shaving, that’s probably a one guard, if you scar well, you can cut down that short, it depends on the individual.

[Raymond92]

Thank you for your answers. I realized I'm not stressed if the result will be good, if not, I'll cut it short, but if it gets very scary, the smp will remain, which will give it a good look.
