Hello All,
I just found this board so I apologize if this topic has been covered in another thread but I'm trying to find a good doc to repair the scars I received from two previous transplant procedures. The procedures were both done at Bosley in Beverly Hills in the early 2000s and left two scars that I estimate are less than 3mm wide but quite long.
In retrospect I wish I waited until FUE was more readily used as I underestimated how many grafts needed to fill in my front hairline. Additionally, the transplanted grafts don't match my original follicles in density - the transplanted grafts are much thicker and stand out upon detailed examination. As a result I'm forced to buzz my head (1" length) and answer awkward questions about my scars. I'm hoping to find a doc to repair the scars and repair my front hairline or remove the transplanted grafts altogether.
I've done a bit of reading and I think I understand my options.
1) See if my scalp has enough elasticity to create a thinner scar. I forgot the name of the procedure. Can someone please remind me?
2) Use FUE to fill in the scars from the donor sites.
3) Remove the transplanted grafts and use laser therapy to repair the scars where the grafts used to be.
Do I have the sequencing correct? If so, can someone please point me in the right direction in locating a top-notch doc to help me out? I've already checked the IAHRS website but couldn't determine which docs were the best for me given my situation.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
