ryan555, roughly how many hairs were in each of your minigrafts?
Also, did you consider laser removal? Why did you decide against it? I recall reading on another forum that one guy had some of his minigrafts FUE'd out, and others removed by laser. He said that in retrospect, he would have just gotten them all removed by laser, since he did not have the grafts implanted into his strip scar.

Ryan, I don't believe I had the chance to meet you when you came in for your procedure but I'm so glad to hear that everything went well. I definitely look forward to any updates on your healing and scar grafting growth. Best wishes!

HT Reversal by Doctor Cole
When I was 19, I had two transplants with one of the chains to restore a maturing hairline to a juvenile hairline and I have regretted it ever since. I did not have "corn rows" by any stretch, but several hundred mini-grafts were placed into a hairline that had become too low for my current age (33) and it did not look good. So I went and saw all the top docs around the country and got many different opinions.
Dr. Cole was the most aggressive in his approach, telling me he could basically reverse the transplant. I have to admit I was skeptical because many top-notch doctors told me that it could not be done. But I finally decided to go for it and let Dr. Cole take a crack. I have to say, after only one week, I am amazed at the result so far. He actually took those grafts out one by one and transplanted them back into my old scars. He also used Acell and PRP which has made a tremendous difference in the healing time. I have what appears to be brand new skin growing in around my hairline.
I will post some pics when this fully heals, but I wanted to share some hope for any guys out there suffering with a bad HT who think there is no way to fix it. Dr. Cole is a very special kind of talent and he is undoubtedly the man to see for difficult repairs.
