5th ht transplant- 1550fut -bht

[ejj]

hi , Dr Bisanga charges 6 euro per graft for beard, ( if i remember correctly ) its less for standard fue i think

My face at no time was either swollen or red ! the fue extraction sites stayed red for about 3 days ,( the punch used on me was a .8mm manual hand punch ) there very easily hidden as you will have to have a short stubble before the procedure and leave it unshaven afterwards for a few weeks , best thing is to get some beard clippers and style it , so it looks smart , you can edge the beard and shape it on a low blade guard .

I had a few grafts that didnt fall out and kept growing , I still have a few tiny hairs poking through , im told beard takes longer to grow ,moreso in scar tissue

Keep us updated how things go

so when they pull out the root of the hair to transplant it elsewhere how does hair grow where u pull it out?

[ejj]

if your refering to the extraction site ,it doesnt grow as its been moved , so theres a tiny mark were its been taken from , hopefully it grows were its been planted !

hope this helps

so hair thats removed from he extraction site wont grow ?whats the point if your doing a fue to extract in 1 area to put in another and lose hair there? i dont get it, I appreciate your answers

[ejj]

if i understand you correctly you have had strip in the past leaving scars and are donor depleted similar to myself . Fue leaves a scar albeit small ,hopefully so small it cant be seen by the naked eye ! hopefully your donor area either beard or scalp can stand the extraction with no noticable difference , somepeople complain of a ` moth eaten ` look if over harvesting of fue has happened , i wouldnt be to worried as it sounds like your having beard hair removed from below the jawline , basically your beard may be a little less dense after , have you met any patients of your Dr who have had this procedure done ? or seen online videos ? they look pretty good

all the best

I sent dr Umar a message , he wrote me back this :I understand your dilemma. Unfortunately, I do not function this way. I will operate when I am availed of the most optimal conditions. For this reason, we as a policy would not book surgery dates until the surgery plan is agreed upon. After my assessment, the optimal donor for you would be head and nape with beard making up for insufficiencies of the former. If your situation would prevent the utilization of these agreed donors, I will suggest to reschedule your surgery or not perform it all together. But as a policy I will avoid taking less than available optimal donors to perform surgery.

if your dillemma is being called back into work I would say fue is the least invasive way of moving forward , I was ok after 1 week socialising , gym etc , I didnt shave down though , style your beard and wear a hat or bandana !

Hi all , i had placed a post about necrotic tissue several weeks back as a reply to someone else post, and then i deleted it, the reason was because Dr Umar which is a fantastic doctor and as far as am concerned a pioneer in his field was being asked all kinds of questions and in no way was i implying he did anything wrong. My necrotic tissue is healing and almost healed. Dr Umar will be placing hairs in the area that got infected at no charge.He had me use Nitro-Bid which stimulates flood flow to the area. Again i was replying to a post and wasn't referring any bad intentions towards Dr. Umar. I will be posting up a picture asap. thanks

I am having my 5th hair transplant . all have been strip, I wish i was told about fut procedure when i started in this journey, Anyway i heard Dr Umar does bht and has head good success with it. I am scheduled for april 14th. I would love to hear if anybody has had work with him and or anybody has heard of this procedure having bad results. I had to pay him 10% up front and his office has said if i change my mind i lose the $1200 i gave them. I work in entertainment and if i am called to go produce a movie i will have to reschedule . Anyway i guess i have a few questions here, but love to hear some feed back . I am a bit nervous also cause paying $12,000 and my hair not growing in besides losing the money.I am 58 and have hair lose all over my head from surgeries . i wish i could cut short but look like i have most of my hair, Its important in my business and hope to get some feedback . Thanks

Edited - Ok my bad, i didnt know you already had your procedure with Dr. Umar.
I removed my post though since there is no need for it anymore.

Hi producer

I have had over a thousand beard hairs placed into my scars , so far its looking ok , im ten months post op and am planning a second procedure this year , my Dr is Dr Bisanga at bhr , Dr Umar has some great results , from my experience people who say beard hair isnt a good option represent clinics who cant do it basically ,usually strip only clinics , im not knocking them ,its just something i have noticed . I think as more clinics master fue and beard fue it will be pretty much mainstream in a few years as an alternative donor source , that said, there will be allways those better at it than others ,thats why you got put the research in

all the best

That is also what I have been wondering, that why so many doctors are against beard to head transplant, whereas beard must be such a great source of donor. I have not done any HT procedure yet, but If I do, I would like to have at least 1/3rd of my grafts coming from beard, so that I preserve my donor area as much as possible. Beard Hair, even it does not match scalp hair that much, can at least act as a natural toppik!
