@ejj, hey thanks for the reply, so how many months in between surgeries on the left and then the right? And why not just do the whole scar all at once? Would it possibly take longer? Thanks again

Hi Stevie
12 months between procedures , the first procedure was to hit the worse part and assess growth, healing, 12 months later , I suppose i could of asked for a 2 day procedure and done both , i think due to my prior (butchery)/strips the Dr wanted to play safe and go slow
hope yer good

Thanks for the great info on bht. what do you think of using beard hair on other parts of the scalp as a fill in after donor hairs are depleted or to save donor hair for front and sides. Dr Umar wants to do a 4500 hair 2day session on me using probably 2000 scalp hairs or what ever he can get and the rest beard. I had an strip job done about 9 months ago of 2300 yielding about 4500 hairs to the front and sides of my nw6 head. Gonna need a lot more to make it look reasonable. Top is bald with some old ugly 1970's plugs in the crown and some in the front. Have fine hair. Thick beard and a weak donor area. I'm an older guy and can't wait for cures. Need to work with the present technology. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hi Lounk
Beard hair can be used on other areas of the scalp , Dr Bisangas patient advisor has had beard throughout the scalp and looks great , they avoid using it in the hairline or temple areas though .
Sounds like your fortunate to have a good thick beard . Dr Bisanga uses a small .8mm manual handpunch thats left no visible marks on my face , this was a major concern for me prior to going ahead with the repair work to hide my former strip scarring
hope this helps

Thanks again for the info. Hope it turns out well for you. I have a long way to go on my nw6 head. Beard hairs are in my future.

Looking forward to those photo's! best of luck and keep us posted. Are you using all beard hair from this point on?
I've looked at your scars and from the looks of it you have really never healed well. You scared pretty bad before you ever used Acell. How can you be sure Acell may have caused this scar? More than likely you would have scared the same way as before with or without use of Acell.... No? I have never seen or read of Acell causing damage. Usually it Either works or it doesn't......

Hi North East guy
Yes im using all beard at the moment .
Ive always thought i healed well , apart from a procedure in Greece were 2 strips either side were extracted resulting in a large scar on one side , my other former strip work healed well , re acell there is a similar result on another forum , scars stretched , large and white , very similar to mine , that combined with a few people who contacted me directly and sent me there similar pictures ,but for whatever reason decided not to post , leaves me to believe that it cant really be a one off or a coincidence ,
i have asked a similar question that you ask to many Drs , why cant they post one result were acell was used in strip on half the strip , half without im still waiting !
regards
ejj

I've only ever seen Acell cause terrible scarring, please post pics of where Acell has made an improvement.
