    As a newcomer but not to hair transplants let me say nothing screwed up my life more than my awful transplants.I got them about 34 years ago and they always looked awful.Ended up giving up and joining hair club and then just regular local wig seller for 25 years.
    At 64 i would love to shave my head but my scars are the old style circles and not the tiny ones they do today.Wish i had one of those line scars for i feel that can easily be shrugged off as old accident scar but what the hell can you do with neckline full of white round circles.Resigned my self to just keeping on with my wig wearing.

    Matt G,
    I feel for you man. All I can say is that when I feel bad about my line scar I should realize its not so bad. But even though you've got something worse than me brother, they do wonders with corrective repairs these days. Its never too late to make a change. I've also found that we are our own worst enemy: I'm sure you can make up a story like the commies tortured you in Nam!
    Best of luck dealing with this life issue. There are worse things out there.

    I've used various explanations:

    2. Boat accident works
    I also used that I got skated over the head while playing ice hockey.
    I've also told people the truth (depending who it is); my girlfriend didn't make a big deal about it at all actually.

    Thanks Varonil.Sorry but the nam thing made me laugh my ass off.What torture would they do to leave a man with those awful white holes all over my head?For me i just cant see outlaying a bunch of cash and going through more surgery to end up the bald guy i was back in my late 20s.Im used to the wig but there are times whan I want to just rip it off and say to hell with it.Ive had so many one night stands mainly because you dont have to explain anything.Long term girl friend liked the wig but that was a while ago.
    Wish the hell i was a young guy now since almost everyone has shaved heads.In the 60s and 70s hair was a major issue.Cant remember any young people who were bald,especially celebrities or sports figures.Your so right.WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY

    I truly believe that HTs are more socially accepted as a cosmetic improvement vs the stigma it used to have. Obviously world class results speak for themselves.

    That would explain the straight line actually. The boating accident doesn't seem convincing.

    The Fue is really hiding the scar

    Have you looked into combining Acell with PRP?

    @ varinoil hey man how many FUEs did you put in your scar? Do people still notice it? How wide was your scar? Did you go for another pass after all? Did you remove the grafts from the front? Updates would be appreciate as I am trying to camo my scar as well
