HT or facial HT?

[Bluetox]

Hi. I have some questions I am hoping someone can help me with, but first a little about myself.

I’m a 28 years old Norwegian and I started losing my hair last year. I am currently a NW 3A and I think I will end up a NW 5A by looking at my father and his family side. I am considering either a hair transplant or a facial hair transplant. To be honest I don’t think being bold looks that bad if you have a beard, but I can’t grow a full 5 o'clock shadow due to some parts on my face were it doesn’t grow anything so I feel I need one or the other.

I’m worried of doing a surgery like a hair transplant because of the strip scar, that it won’t work in the long run and especially the drugs. For a facial hair transplant I’m really scared it will mess up my face with ugly scars that I have no way of hiding.

So my dilemma is which one should I choose?


From the research I have done so far, if I’m going for a hair transplant I will most likely choose Dr. Wong due to his reputation for strip surgery. Other doctors I have in mind are Dr.Feller or Dr. Epstein (especially for facial hair), but it all depends on what their response will be when I eventually have an online consultation with them.



Some HT questions:

1. How long does the transplanted hair last? (face or head)

2. With a facial hair transplant will there be scars underneath the transplanted hair or can you have a clean shave and it will look normal?

3. How many grafts does it take before the FUE scars in the donor area will be visible if I shave my head?

4. Can they use donor hair from other parts of your body for facial hair?
