Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 12, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 12, 2021 Two days ago I had a touch from four years ago. The main reason was to hide the scars from two regrettable hair transplants from when I was 18. 11 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member champybaby Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 That's insane results man. Didn't know it could look that good. Where did you go for your HT? I've never seen scars like that.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 12, 2021 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted March 12, 2021 @champybabyI was butchered by two bad ‘punch graft’ hair transplants at 18. There werre two rows of scars. The top donor scar was excised leaving it looking like a strip scar. But the top of my hairline was/is the big problem. I had rows of ‘doll hair’ that was excised over several procedures over a few years. It has left me with a strip like scar running along my hairline. I have had SMP over this as well. It has brought my hairline lower than it should be but it’s better than the scarring that was left. 3 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 SMP should be in every FUT patient's back pocket for this exact reason. "You can't shave your head once you go FUT" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kirkland Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 It really looks fantastic. I'm glad that it is the right solution for you. It has made a world of difference in camouflaging the scars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kramer79 Posted March 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 That is extremely impressive... Is it as impressive/undetectable in real-life as it is in the picture? Is the before picture with the scars from 4 years ago? I am trying to visualize the appearance from 'initial' SMP to year 4 when the touch up is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 12, 2021 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted March 12, 2021 40 minutes ago, qui bono said: I know youre planning to go to Eugenix for FUE (and are trapped in Australia), but what's your scalp laxity like and could you technically take out a strip that runs over those two scars and try and create a new smaller one? Thats just rough it all happened at 18. That was actually the plan by removing the top scar with a strip. We were then going to try and take the lower scar out and then possibly take out the two leaving just one strip scar. To be honest I should have left the donor scars as they were from the botched hair transplants. Irregular scars hide easier and strip scars catch the eye. Plus I want to keep as many grafts as possible for Eugenix. Yes at 18 you identify with your hair so much. That’s why I try very hard to persuade young people from making the same mistake that I did. 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member track_rat Posted October 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2021 Dude Gatsby, you have me considering shaving and going SMP lol. You look incredible, I would have to search very hard for the previous scarring. Honestly can not tell, I bet this is such a relief for you. I’m so happy to see this for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
