WORST DONOR EVER!

I hope dr Bisanga can do his magic on his donor.

There is however a case (also posted and treated by Bisanga) in which donor is even worse, not due to the lack of hair but the skin condition:

so sad, it’s criminal clinics can get away with it

I saw this on IG, it's absolutely awful, did it ever get to a good place? he mentions a longer video, I hope it got sorted, and honestly if this had been done to me I would be shaving my head with a blade for the rest of my days rather than growing it

This guy looks very much like myself. Very thin hair throughout the top, but needs to add hair to the donor area as well. It's a really bad spot to be in. What do you do? You need to use body hair to fix the donor area, but then you don't have any hair left to fix the entire NW 6 area that is very thin all over. You end up doing several procedures to fix the donor and while that looks better, you still look the same to most people because you still don't have any more hair on top. Sigh. It's depressing. Then you get people asking why you are spending all that time and money for nothing because they don't see any improvement on top.  😒

Man that’s brutal. 
 

Credit to Dr Bisanga for taking on an almost impossible task. I hope he can help the man achieve a result that betters his current situation.

14,000 grafts taken and 5 surgeries...

isn't that too much, i thought only 4k grafts or so FUE before you gotta use body hair? 

At this point doesn't this guy just have to re-evaluate and shave it or wear a wig?

A hair piece would not typically cover the donor area, so I guess that's why the focus on it.

Most people have 6-8k grafts before overharvesting, but it depends on the individual. There are exceptions where some surgeons can take more and retain a homogenous donor - up to 14k grafts. In those cases the hair to follicle ratio is typically low so I do wonder whether they use small punches to precisely extract grafts where other surgeons sometimes take more than one follicle using larger punches, and that makes up the difference.
