Regular Member Rolo Posted February 20, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 I am female with strong donor area but front and temple area thinner. I am considering transplant but worried it will make then my back hair thin. When i look at photos i dont see much difference but i imagine it feels much thinner? No one has discussed this from what i can find. any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 20, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 20, 2022 Are you able to post photos of your hair so we can provide you with more accurate advise? I would imagine that having an FUT procedure would be preferable to FUE as it will leave the surrounding donor area untouched. There are still risks such as shock loss, etc. Have you consulted with a dermatologist as to the cause of your hair loss that you have described? All the best!

Unless you need huge numbers of grafts (doubtful) you shouldn’t really see too much difference with either type of procedure. If your choosing a decent/elite Dr/clinic then your donor area would be very well managed. Have you had any consultations yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rolo Posted February 20, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Yes with dr donovan, bernstein and wesley. But i didnt discuss the state of the hair in the back, if it will feel/look thin in a fut procedure. With a strip missing of around 1800 grafts i would think so?

Senior Member Britanium Posted February 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 With a FUT of around 2k or less you shouldn't really notice much difference. At best you can hope for a pencil like wide scar. Which becomes pretty invisible with your hair after a certain length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rolo Posted February 20, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 I not worried about it showing but more how it will feel and change the shape of my hair in back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can have a impact on how it feels for sure. @x.moonprincess.xo Is also female and has actually had both FUT + FUE.
