Hi - in truth, not quite a new thread as I posted some of this as part of my "belgian Docs thread" but as anxious to get the forums advice/opinion so hope no one minds.
My consult with Dr Mwamba resulted in the following
PLAN/COMMENTS
The doctor observed the following:
Red hair before ï¨ turn to white now
Goal: Increase density from front to back.
Plan:
1. Poor Donor density with open donor scars+ linear scars from FUT
2. White hairs white skin ï¨ Less contrast. Very favorable for the patient.
3. Surface to treat by order of priority
Central part (55 cm2)ï¨to graft at 15-20 FU/cm2
Crescent moon (25 cm2)ï¨ to graft at 15-20 FU/cm2
Frontal Zone (20 cm2)
Top R-L (16cm2)
Frontal Zone + Top R-L : to graft at 10 FU/cm2
Vertex R: 28 cm2
Range total: 2000 to 2500 grafts
Procedure recommended: Combo Strip (600-1000)+FIT(600-1000) shaven+BHT(remaining with beard hair)
sounds good and the answer to all my problems but this little pointer in the disclaimer concerns me: -
Note: graft extracted with FIT and/or STRIP (FUT) will produce expected results (90-100%) within a year of insertion.
Body Fit is a relatively new procedure with many unknowns, therefore at this time we do not guarantee the results.
Hmmmmmmm.
What do the team think of beard hair?
(I'm thinking of emigrating to New Zealand shortly after the procedure - what a nightmare to have the whole thing fail on me well, anytime really but especially on the other side of the world)
Thank u all.
