1980's Patient - Looking to repair old donor scarred area

[roso1234]

Thank you Suarez and James for replying. I'm 47 years old. I had the work done 28 years ago. Donor area is thinning. I'm now a NW 7. If the doctor I dealt with would have been responsible, he would not have recommended hair transplants for a 19 year old. There was no way of knowing what I would look like in my 40's.

If you can post a few details , I'm sure a few people will chip in - Current NW level , age , how is your donor area etc. ( photos may be helpful if you're comfortable with that ).

A fair few doctors have great experience in repair cases such as yours , so spend a good bit of time checking out all the forums / websites to get a feel for things . If you just google the key words , you should get a fair few results straight off . I'm sure you'll also come across repair cases with circumstances similar to yours .

Could also start the ball rolling by doing online consultations with various surgeons to get a feel for what procedures may be recommended . The Drs listed on this website would be a good place to start .

Good luck .

two options brother - fue into the scar or SMP... with SMP you have to constantly have head shaved to a zero

I was one of the thousands of patients that had old punch grafts done in the late 1980's. I have three rows of these scars at the back of my head. Donor area is now thinning(Doctor back then said this would never happen). Am looking for a solution to make my head look as normal as possible short of wearing a hair piece again. Any and all advice/experience noted is appreciated. Thank you.
