    People don't want to do a transplant because they're afraid of having a line in the back of their head? Ever heard of FUE? people are still misinformed and think it is reserved to people with a NW2,5.

    I know there's an anti FUE lobby because FUT transplants are easy money, but hey, FUE is possible, even for NW6 people, it just takes a lot more effort and time for the doctor.

    Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed for this year .

      FUT is ancient, and effectively immoral.

        FUE, by Dr. Wesley or anyone else, would be considered an atrocity, if (hypothetically) we would somehow invent a scarless or near-scarless FUT.

          I actually WANT an FUT. From the results I have seen from the top doctors, I am not afraid of this, and this is not a fear of MINE. I fall under the "Can not afford" category. From my 5 years on hair loss forums, it's either those two. Can't afford it[FUE], or don't want a line in the back of their head [THEIR reasoning for it, not mine].

            OK, I understand. But it's just that I shave my head so, can't afford to have a huge scar back there .

              I can't see how this would be a problem. A hair transplant is designed to implant hair in the places where none can be visibly seen. I would assume that if you have a HT that isn't too dense, Histogen should still be able to grow grafts in between existing follicles.

              There may be some factor I'm not considering though.
