I'm not clear -- what was the intended purpose of your procedure?
-
basically 2000 grafts to the frontal third , donor area treated with acell as shown and beard plucking into prior scars

Which aspect(s) of the procedure didn't work for you?

Well the purpose of the transpalnt was to cover bare scalp not create bare scalp ! sorry to rain on the "acell parade "

So then, what are you gonna do next? Any plans like any surgeon for example?

hi ejj
thanks for posting, just so i can understand this correctly.
the first three photos are pre-op, the others are immediate post op 1 week) and the last few are post op 11 months.
so you had an attempt at a scar revision because your scars were wide pre op (back and right side), correct ?
you had 600 beard plucked hairs (from your other post) inserted into the back-right side scar with zero growth ?
where did the 2000 strip grafts come from ? the reason i ask is that this is not a small amount to take while at the same time also trying to reduce the size of the existing scar. this would have been a large opening to bridge.
cheers

Now i understand. You had a hairtransplant prior to the Acell rstoration thing. Or am i wrong

3 strips removed to get the 2 k grafts , chrono of the pics is right , the plucked beard hair went into the right scar as picture 5 shows , no scar revision was undertaken at all . The before pictures show the problem scar back right hand side where the plucked hair was grafted in to , 13 months later i now have a larger scar pictured at the lower area above the neck and another scar left hand side above my ear , I believe acell creates tissue rather than scar tissue , however it is hairless therefore I think a standard closure is more beneficial
regards

thanks for clarification
have you been back to see the doctor ? if so whats his thoughts ?
this question might be hard to answer, but do you think the area of beard that was plucked grew back the same ?
hope it all works out well for you in the end
