[producer12]

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.

no problem , thanks for removing, Dr umar is awesome and is very helpful in more ways then u would imagine. If something does go wrong which could happen to anyone he will be there every step of the way.

[QUOTE=producer12;54913]I am feeling better now that u said that, How long did your face stay red , when did you start noticing the beard hair was growing, My biggest concern is pain and redness in the beard area but am am reassured by my doctor it will be fine.

Baldozer most doctors are against beard fue because they can't even before scalp fue. Why would they recommend something they do not offer or speak highly of it in anyway. This is a business and that would be bad for business. Regardless beard hair should be used as a last resort when scalp donor is no longer available.

Producer it's nice to see everyone here offering you support, answers and advice.

Will you be posting some pictures so that others can also learn from your experience?

producer,

Welcome to this community. We have alot in common as we are both 58 and I had four previous strip procedures.

The biggest concern that I have for you is the issue of necrosis. I presume that you had this on your last procedure but not the preceding ones? Nevertheless, necrosis as you already know is the death or decay of tissue in any particular part of the body. It is readily seen as resulting from the loss of blood supply, or burns, etc. Obviously in your case it was from loss of blood supply?

Could that happen again? It makes no difference whether the technique used is FUE or strip, it's the recipient areas that can potantially develop necrosis again because after five previous procedurres, there is no doubt a fair amount of scar tissue lurking beneath the surface layer.

Believe it or not, my suggestion would be to consider a top end hair system before doing more surgery. Just a thought.

Also, if you move forward with surgery, why not first do a test session before commiting your hard earned money?

Dr. Jerry Cooley has written some very interesting and informative articles appearing in Hair Transplant Forum International magazine. An article Dr. Cooley wrote in May/June of 2011 indicates that according to his studies, ACell can be of benefit to patients in need of improved vascularization.

More strip surgery may present major consequences for your donor area. Donor recharging with FUE is an option. In donor recharging, hair is replaced as it is removed from the scalp. A conventional body hair transplant procedure is a second option. Body hair has limitations, but you can get BHT results in experienced hands. Be careful and take your time as you proceed.

All the best
