Senior Member DenverBuff1989 Posted December 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) @Seniormido I saw a totally bald guy at the mall the other day who had a very clear FUT scar in the back (maybe it wouldn't be obvious to a casual observer, but totally obvious to me). Made me sad that this was a fellow hair transplant warrior who had given up the fight. Edited December 4, 2020 by DenverBuff1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 5, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 5, 2020 I remember about 15 ten years ago (more?) seeing a guy at the local mall. He had the the old style 'punch graft' hair transplant. However he had shaved his head and I could see the scars in the back donor area and the shaved plugs on top (no SMP back then). As soon as I saw him I immediately had total respect! He had definitely walked the road less traveled! 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's not that he wants to shave his head, but that he would like to keep that option in the case the HT doesn't work out as planned? I believe that's the reason Joe Rogan shaves his head. I have seen two random people in public with shaved heads sporting a huge strip scar on the back of their heads. Maybe they shaved for the same reason Joe Rogan did.

Maybe they shaved for the same reason Joe Rogan did. Joe Rogan has consistently said that he wishes he would’ve just shaved to begin with, if you’re considering shaving, the logical thing would be to shave your head. I’m speaking from experience, I shaved my head, it was not for me. Therefore, I knew hair transplants was the route for me, once you embark there’s no going back. If you’re not okay shaving now without scars, you definitely won’t be okay shaving with scars. If you shave your head now, and realize you like it, well then you just found your solution. Doing nothing is never bad advice. 3 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Doing nothing is not naive. oh I totally agree with shaving and seeing. I've done it too But the vast majority of men would like you and me decide that shaving isn't for them. but then what do you do? you do everything under the sun to live a fulfilling life with some illusion of hair until at some point there is far too much miniaturisation and then you shave it off. the scars - yes, but I think the whole point of this thread is how bad they will be. The question is, is it worth dealing with those scars when you're 45 if it means you will be much happier from 25-40? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of people lose the option to shave after getting a HT (specially if it's FUT), that must be clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to find many photos of shaved heads after FUE. most pics are to show how WITH hair the scars are not visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
