Regular Member Stewie Posted April 6 Regular Member Share Posted April 6 Was there a reason behind using chest hair and not more scalp/beard? as it looks like you have a lot of scalp and beard left? Looks great BTW, your hair is very thick and this will look awesome 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member omarca Posted April 6 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 6 (edited) @Stewie legend congrats on your procedures !! This was discussed, i was receptive at first. This is my 3rd overall HT (two with drM). Overall i have used 3000+, 2500, 1200 ish = 7000 scalp G give or take. As conservative as DrM he wants to leave some scalp G in the bank just in case and since my chest hairs have some characteristics as the scalp G we give it a try…knowing the cycles are different😕. In the first HT with drM we also used chest G and they are still there. At least thats what the periscope told. These chest hairs were used as fillers…finguers crossed. Also he doesnt want to overharvest the donor…i have a bunch of scars that hopefully smp will cover if i ever buzzcut. I hope this is my last HT i feel the same as you…at least iam a bit tired of the process. The beard Gs used where from the neck down and he used all the black hairs i got left. I dye my beard…it is almost all white. And all the white hairs i have now in my head are beard. If i ever wants another ht and we use beard they will be whites…that is a setback but a thing to consider ! hope the best for you bro! here a photo of beard with no dye going home after procedure Edited April 6 by omarca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stewie Posted April 6 Regular Member Share Posted April 6 Ha thanks for the kind words All makes sense for sure, and like I said I have hair envy as its so thick, I think looking at what you achieved last time, I think you'll be sorted after this one and will not need to endure another HT fingers crossed, yeah I am the same, tired of going through it all now haha, who knows hair greed might get me one day, lets see, ill never say never, but time will tell for us both Good luck and happy growing mate! 1 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Sorry, just this one last question - was the possibility of taking beard grafts from the chin and/or cheeks and moustache ever mentioned as a possibility? I am thinking about using beard grafts as a last resort and I seem to have the most of my beard on the chin and in the moustache, but I fear there might be scarring issues to be considered for this region...

Regular Member omarca Posted April 7 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 7 No worries @Broni! It is a possibility to harvest from chin, cheeks and mustach. There are members here that have used these grafts. Just be sure the Dr you choose knows how to harvest them. Scaring in face and neck is almost none since the skin is more elastic than back of scalp! Other people have used sideburns too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly recommend and encourage everyone who is looking for a HT to make deep research and read hair network forums before choosing a Dr and a clinic for the surgery. I have studied this topic for 5 months and I was about to choose a turkish clinic when I understood that the quality, the process, the techniques used, skills and technical details are the most important. Then I decided to make an effort and double my budget for choosing the right Dr. On 1/1/2024 at 6:33 PM, omarca said: Here are more photos years after the ht with the local doctor and smp. These photos where also sent to Dr Mwamba for consultation. Here you can see more the crown and how the temple points where receded If you started 6/7 this is a great result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pako Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I have a question. Do you see the different of how long the hairs are? For example chest hair are not going to be long as your normal or beard hair. Do you notice this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member omarca Posted April 15 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 15 Hi there! I dont notice different hair lenght…maybe there are. Maybe because i have a haircut like every month. What i do see is different hair textures but not many. I can spot “one or two” beard hair. Also i can spot beard hairs by being white. The Dr try to use as many pigmented beard hairs as possible but some whent to scalp. Also if a hair was destined to be white it will be white anywhere you implant it as years goes by. Also the hair cycles are different. Some will fall out first than others…and then grow back again… thats why you have to well distribute beard and/or body hairs with your excisting hairs and implanted scalp hairs. If you need grafts other than scalp, beard hairs are the 2nd option , then lastly chest. Here a chart i found of Dr A. Bansal that talks about hair cycles. Hope this helps.
