It's been a couple of years since I have logged in so hi again and thanks to all for your answers. I had my 5th non-fue transplant with Dr. Sara Wasserbauer a little over two years ago. The 1,300 grafts grew in pretty well and I think she is a great surgeon. I'm now finding myself needing a little hairline work as my hair is dark and over the years most of my native hair has fallen out. Back when I had my some of my native hair it blended in with the grafts but now that the native is virtually gone, the grafts are starting to show. I should also mention that prior to Dr Wasserbauer, my four procedures were done though Bosley and I have some pretty ugly donor scars and while they pretty much placed only 1's and twos in my frontal area, the hair is very thick and I suspect my HT is starting to become more obvious now that the thinner native hair is no longer there to help hide the grafts.
I'm thinking I should get about 1,000 grafts. Perhaps 600 or so tinny grafts to strengthen my hairline and since i'm just a little thin in the anterior mid scalp perhaps 400 hundred or so 2's and 3's And finally maybe 100 or so grafts in the donor area(this was left over from Bosley and was not one of Dr Sara's scars but i'm thinking rather than revising it, it might make more sense to just though some grafts in there as I have to keep my hair at least an inch and a half long in the back to conceal this.
I was naturally going to go back to Dr Sara but I'm in the Boston area and would rather get something done on the east cost. I also would like to see if I could get this done by FUE for a quicker recovery time. I don't know if it would be feasible to do 1,000 or so grafts without shaving my head though. I would really like to avoid this as Bosley left two donor scars for each HT so I have 8 donor scars.
Based on what my hair looks like would anyone else like to chime in? I think 800-1000 grafts should be more than enough to fix my hairline and leave a few hundred to fill in my thinning Anterior mid scalp. Would like to do Fue without shaving but don't know if that can be done needing this many grafts.
Thanks all,
Richard
