How does the post op donor look on long hair?


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

I had FUT last time so the donor area wasn't a concern at all post op other than removing the stitches. The big thing was regrowing the shaven down area around the frontal third HT.

Hattingen recommended FUE on my next HT which will be around 1,500 in my crown. 

I have very long hair, Dr Muresanu said it will be like an undercut..... I can't really envisage what this would look like though. Will the entire donor be shaved or just a section that can be covered by the rest of the hair?

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

@Legend007 did a more extreme version of it and he was able to pull it off pretty well

That's what I'm afraid of... he pulled it off though. Looks like the hair grows back quickly enough to pull off the undercut look...surprised how much his top level hair was able to cover it. Thanks for digging this out!

Legend007 had 2500 grafts if I remember and you said you are looking at around 1500, so I'm guessing you should end up somewhere between what MachoVato showed and what Legend had.

I'd be happy with that. Thanks!
