Hi Robert
Thank you for your message - I'm still happy with the result and it has improved since the pictures, I now have a short haircut and the coverage is very good. The only thing I'm moderately happy with is the scar: I have cut my hair a bit too short in the back and you see the scar. I don't see it and people don't care, but Dr Muresanu offered a free FUE in the scar to cover it a little bit more.
I'll post pictures later.
1. I chose FUT for 2 reasons: it's cheaper (I couldn't afford the FUE), and you can get a lot more grafts depending on the laxity of the scalp. My laxity being very good, it would have been a shame not to do it
And the clinic was very renowned for it's FUT so I was confident.
According to the doctor, the best strategy to get the most possible grafts is a big FUT, another FUT if the laxity permits it, then a FUE.
With a FUE you harvest the hair randomly in the safe zone, which limits the number of grafts later. With a FUT you basically can take all the grafts you find in the skin flap, and then close.
The cons of the FUT on the other hand are: more pain, more invasive, and obv the presence of a scar.
2. The scar is perfectly flat, it's like the skin around it, except it's -in my case- bald. No problem for shaving.
3. I didn't find the time. I wasn't settled down and moved a lot. Last year I lost my job so I had plenty of time
4. My hair is indeed not thin, and it's curly, which are 2 good conditions for best coverage.
It is a life changer. I recovered self-confidence and I'm now free from this hair powder
I can only recommend it.
Now FUT or FUE, it's really up to you. The only real "issue" with FUT is the scar.
