ACell, a Current Review of Applications in Hair Transplant Surgery

[Bakez]

That was a strip scar and he JUST used ACell on it? So he didn't implant any plucked hairs or anything like that? What were you expecting? Surely if the ACell turned the scar into normal tissue that is good right?

Even in your 30s you might have a full crop of hair or you may be a NW class 2. By the time you hit 70, you might be a class 6. Jerry Brown did it. Why can't you? Why in God's name would you want a strip scar put on the back of your head for any reason regardless of your hair loss pattern in your 20s, 30s, or 40s?

I would never advocate that a patient bank his future on a currently non-existent medical option, but even if we haven't licked the limited donor hair problem by 30-40 years from now, I'd be quite surprised (assuming I were still alive) if we hadn't made great strides in scar reduction/elimination by then.

You should try it with plucked hairs

Donīt get me wrong but something here is not kosher in your case.

[RichardDawkins]

Ah ok now i get it thanks for the clarification

[HairRobinHood]

Wait, wait, wait, @ejj, as far as I understand, you had a OLD STRIP-SCAR revision, but NO removal of the OLD scar, instead of, Dr. Cooley plucked 600 beard hairs, applied the ACell stuff to the 600 beard hairs and transplanted the 600 plucked beard hairs into the OLD strip scar? Am I right?

When was the procedure? How many month ago?
