Senior Member lanthanos Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 hairterminator, you had poor growth from your second strip, right? would you say you had less than 80% because you've got a guy right here, in this thread, who is saying that Armani told him that Armani has never seen a patient get less than 80% yield. so maybe you are your own proof?

Regular Member hairterminator Posted January 30, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 lanthanos, I have a large balding area in the crown. The amount of grafts that were quoted and implanted on the second procedure were about 1700 grafts. With that said I saw many examples of pics with the same balding area as me which required 3000 or more grafts. I think he undersold me on the amount I needed but also feel maybe about 10% did not grow- Dr. Armani stated otherwise. In another 10 months I will provide clear pics for your review.

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 Without any valid proof of your claims I find your words to be just that Obviously you have not researched because YOU would have found alot of these result YOURSELF. I dont need you to believe me because you have already been let down. I want the newbies to understand this . Youve already signed a deal with the devil and I feel bad for you but the info was out there for the world to see and you missed it . For that Im sorry but if your a strip patient none of this even applies to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Balboa Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 What actauly is the problem with FUE then compared to STRIP what goes wrong with FUE and what should i be worried about? another thing that concerns me is that if a FUE goes wrong and you turn to STRIP to save you, wont the amount of scalp they remove from you have to me more than normal because the FUE has already taken half the hairs from that site? thanks Dr A.

Senior Member hairthere Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 FUE takes a lot more skill and caution from the surgeon. the care and time that goes into removing each graft is paramount. according to doctor feller, the process can be exhausting for a doctor which can lead to the use of "brute force" to remove the graft and thus damage. imagine how much more difficult it is to remove each graft individually versus cutting a strip (which is then broken into fus by a team of techs). damaged grafts are then either not planted or planted and unable to grow. so you're looking at a lower graft survival rate.

Senior Member Balboa Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 thanks for the reply i think i recall it taking about 6 hours for the 2500 i had to be removed Dr A.

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 One thing I want to add is that 99.9% of fue surgeons extract the grafts THEMSELVES with a hand punch . Armani has different people all the time DRILLING the grafts out with a small power tool. That is one reason why he can extract much more but a HUGE reason why the grafts have a far higher chance of dying . You cant just drill and rip out grafts on every person. Like I said before there are a small percentage guys you could almost remove the graft ,leave them out all night on a plate of battery acid and they will still grow if you plant them the next day.

Senior Member hairthere Posted January 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2009 balboa, i have to echo what kaounis said, and i apologize for bringing up any negatives. i realize you're in a tough stage right now and i think you should be as positive as possible. i have seen some nice mega fue results from armani so you could very likely be among them. also keep in mind that fue is notorious for taking longer to grow than strip. be patient and good growing to you.

Senior Member Balboa Posted February 8, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 8, 2009 im i little worried about something, when i gently massage the minoxidil in im loosing some hairs, as they appear in my hand afterward, the hairs are anything from 1mm or smaller long to 1.5 cm long so and some are stubble looking, is this normal? and im guessing with the hairs being so short they must be mean that they are my new hairs, but why are they falling out? p.s my scalp gets very dry due to the minoxidil and beterderm and i have to use the origenere dry scalp tonic to try and counteract it Dr A.

Senior Member Balboa Posted February 8, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 8, 2009 i no but its already been over 2 months since the opp and i have already had the shedding period and hadnt shed anything for ages Dr A.

TooFUE Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Dry scalp? Try using Minox foam rather than the liquid type...that really helped my scalp. As far as your shedding goes, Leeson is correct. I experienced the same thing two months out after my HT. I'd attribute the difference in shed hair size to 1)grafts that never shed, and 2)new hairs that grew in but were on a natural cycle out. Good luck.

Senior Member Balboa Posted February 8, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 8, 2009 thanks very much for the reply, i also received a reply from my doctor and he said its normal up to 3 months while on minox. this is a great site thanks for the replys Dr A.
