5th ht transplant- 1550fut -bht

dr umar reply

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 !

reply to my post of necrotic tissue.

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

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!

[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
