I know some folks have done this. Any reasons to recommend, not to recommend this, etc.

You sound like you are pretty much in the same situation I am in. I think another procedure with about 1000 more grafts and roughly 1500 in the crown will give me what I want. I plan on having Dr. Cooley do the procedure and he feels he can reduce my scar. I would still like to do FUE into...

I would actually like to do another procedure first. My scar is pretty thin on the rigth side and wide on the left. There is no "gap" visible without hair covering, but the coloration of the scar is what makes it visible. Mine is visible down to a #3.

This something I would like to do in the future. Any idea on cost? I have a classic ear to ear scar.

Well, if you have a desk job, I think you could physically go back after a week and be ok. If you couldn't wear a hat, forget about it. I have the best of both worlds, I am in management at my company, but its very laid back, and I can wear a hat. Thats what I did. The swelling in the face...

The hairline looks unnatural to me for some reason.

I do need to say that I planned on two hair transplants even before the first, and most people should. The thing is, you'll need more density SOMEWHERE after one and most folks will need at least one, if not two more hair transplants. Then, like me, many will want to do something about the strip scar. I just get...

I do. I need to do a second procedure to add density to the front and crown, because with my hair grown out to cover the donor scar, it looks like crap. Then, eventually I plan to do FUE into the strip scar. The really crappy part is my finances aren't nearly as good now as they were a little...

Thanks SAF.

Hey guys. I need a quick fix to conceal donor scar area. I trimmed hair the other day just a bit too short and it is still showing. I have to be outside Sunday afternoon and need a way to cover.

The scar is not red, but is still pinkish. I think this is due to my skin color. I am very fair-skinned with dark brown/almost black hair, so the contrast in that thin line really shows up. At 1/4" inch hair is covering it, but the scar shows through. Over slightly 1/2" inch it is difficult...

Yes. I take twice a week. I find that the side-effects do not bother me at that dosage and Dr. Cooley advised that this dosage woukld work. Also, I use Nizoral and minoxidil. Haven't had second surgery yet, but I want to this year.

Exactly. Thats one of the reasons I need no. 2. I went with a not-so-great one with number one. For number two, I have planned to go with a very well thought of surgeon.

I think you're hair looks pretty good. Continue with the Big 3. You're still young for a hair transplant in any case. Remember if you do strip you won't be able to do that short-trim anymore. I did one hair transplant of 2500 grafts a year ago and honestly think I look worse now than before when I kept my hair...

Hey folks. Have any of you put hair transplant plans on delay due to the economy? I was planning on doing a second procedure, which I think would really help (and that I need), but just making casual inquiries, it seems it is going to be tough to get a loan. I don't want to pay cash, because it would...
