Strip or FUE??

[Follicle Death Row]

I don't know anything about hair restoration in Thailand. I'd advise you to look at Bijan Feriduni's clinic in Belgium. He's the best in Europe imo. Otherwise one of the top docs in the US or Canada.

If you want the option to shave it if you don't like it then the closest you can do is a 1 grade with FUE, well maybe a bare blade actually but I thought a clean shave. Dr. Cole seems to think that treating FUE extraction sites with Acell will reduce the chances of hypopigmentation (the white dots).

Let's say you can get a max of 9000 by strip or 6000 by FUE. If you ignore the crown and go the FUE route you could get a really nice hairline with some good density from front to mid scalp. You could blade it down to a 1. You'd have the outline of a hairline and look great from the front or side, even top. Look at Wesley Sneijder for example. Also if Dr. Cooley's autocloning comes up trumps, (I suspect it will) you could then work on the crown over time. I don't think I'd go strip myself at this stage if I had to make a choice now because I don't like the thoughts of that dumb smiley scar on the back of my head for life.

A lot to think about. Very best of luck with whatever you decide and well done for dodging a bullet with DHI.
