There's need for many doctors opinion on the chances of the piece dying. People with bad burns get transplants of big pieces of skin but I don't know if those pieces die and get replaced with new skin or if they remain (the dermis, the epidermis anyway is periodically shed).

I think skin is more flexible than what is used for hair pieces, and it's supposed to completely bond, as opposed to the non permanent glue that's used with wigs (they should have certain elasticity to avoid the problem you mention)...

Check the first link. It's a NEW procedure that involves a biological glue, it's for NOT using sutures. The surgeon has to cut it symmetrical. Good point. A doctor with experience in burn people could answer. I don't know. Poor density on top = UNacceptable (for me) thick on top but with a...

The picture is a worst case. The important thing (for some, maybe not for you) is to have a good frontal line, and I rather do ONE 180º surgery than your "I've been through alot with my 5 hair transplant's (3 bad and 2 good) and I'm still not entirely satisfied" (in the tread "what are the good reasons not...

Hi. In the 'follica good news' tread p73 viewtopic.php?f=32&t=43438&p=482090#p482090 I mentioned a 180º turn of a big piece of scalp. Later I Found out about the "scalp reduction" that is not used for the frontal part, and the "scalp flaps" that are prone to be more irregular than the more...

Hi. Some ideas: I think people trying like-follica experiments should NOT take finasteride or testosterone antagonists, because that promotes the kind of hairs that will always be weak and cause dependence on these drugs, sometimes with 'asexualizing' effects. It`s better to let testosterone...
