Hi Phil. How did the FUE in the bottom scar turn out? It would be good to see a picture of how it looks now if possible.
The top scar does not look good, seeing the suture marks and the width of your scar I`d guess that your donor area was tight, therefor creating a tight closure that stretched under the pressure. This is just a guess on my behalf but whatever the reason, it did not turn out well.

Hi pal
The scar with the fue looks a lot deluted now but u can still see it
U can still see the step look in that bottom scar
My hair is quite long so difficult to take a pic
Yeah my issue with the top scar given to me by dr feller was why give me a second scar in the first place
Tried to explain this to spex and the dr
Just washed there hands off me cos I was complaining
Moved on from them now

Your first scar is low, very close to the occipital hump which clinics avoid. This is probably why the doctor opted to take the next strip from the mid area of your donor zone.
ou will probably need more grafts in the bottom scar but it`s good to hear that it`s not as bad.

Yeah now u mentioned it I think thats what the dr said
Just thought fue would have been better
Yeah think scars need a couple more passes to get best results
Cheers

With scars, a cautious approach needs to be taken when transplanting grafts into them. The skin is thinner and the blood supply is not as good as it is to regular tissue. It is better to have X amount of grafts transplanted with a very high survival rate than plant double the grafts and have a lot of grafts wasted, the ones that don`t make, therefor wasting them.

Keep your spirits up, you have a decent amount of donor left and I`m sure these scars can be sorted, it just takes a little time.

I`m not sure why you can't add your pictures on there. Joe is a member on here, you can send him a pm if you want to chat with him.
