Smp after fue

[Warmer82]

How long can smp be done after a fue procedure, direct in donor the area and in mid scalp where no folicle have.been inplanted.

 

[Understanding Hair]

Regarding the FUE donor area, if the aim is to try and camouflage the white dot scarring, you would be best to leave as long as possible to allow the healing process of the scar to take place. While superficially it may appear fine after just a few weeks, the process is still healing within the skin. If done too soon you may find the pigment doesn´t take at all, or constantly fades. No sooner than 3 months, but dependent on your skin and healing characteristics, maybe slightly longer. Bear in mind, depending on your skin complexion, trying to camouflage the white dots may or may not be that cosmetically successful. If into an area of the scalp untreated, non donor or recipient there is no reason not to go ahead as and when.

Usually after a transplant a year before you do anything is most often advised

 

[Understanding Hair]

Waiting twelve months is often associated with having another hair transplant, especially if going back into the area previously treated. The reason is not so much skin healing but hair growth, to ensure most if not all the hair from the previous hair transplant has grown, so as not to waste hair and gain the best result. However, there are many cases when more work can be carried out way before twelve months. For instance, hairline repair, when hair is needed to be first removed via FUE, leaving a small punch hole, this needs to first heal before a new hairline can be designed, while it may take a few months or so it is possible to go back into the area and place new hair in good time. Scarring is harder as healing is complicated, for instance englobing old scars, it´s often best to wait to avoid complications.

This is where I want smp for now. I'm 2 weeks post op of 1500 folicles to my hairline and 1000 beard hair to crown. Can this be done in a couple of months?as its not on the transplanted area.tgis is my third ht so I've had 4000 taken from the donor plus the 1500, could I still have smp in donor in a couple of months as I would have 4000 dots that are prevoius to the recent one.

 

[Understanding Hair]

If 1500 grafts just went into your hairline, and 1000 (BH) into your crown, where were the other 4000 placed for you to need/want SMP from behind the hairline, through the mid-scalp to the front of your crown.

It maybe prudent to wait and allow everything to settle down a little. The transplanted hair hasn´t shed yet, you have no idea how the growth will look or the yield. You may, hopefully not, need a bigger SMP session if there is a problem with the yield in either the hairline or crown, or simply the pattern of SMP doesn´t complement the hair growth. Bearing in mind also, you need to keep your hair shaved for SMP to work, once the hair grows even slightly it starts to look unnatural.

Your donor, assuming you heal well, you could look at covering the 4000 white dots, although judging by your skin complexion it may not camouflage them too well, especially if your hair is shaved.

I had 2000 folicles in the frontal 3rd around 10 years ago, now where I want smp . I had another 2000 folicles in my hairline around 6 years ago, now I've had 1500 in again.... doesn't last for me unfortunately . My next plan is to smp then donor recharge next year then extract again to needed areas with but too

The only reason transplanted hairs may grow for a decent number of years and then stop is because they were taken from an unsafe area of the scalp and are effected by the mpb gene. Otherwise there is no other obvious reason for it. If this is the case, why waste your money, time and hassle on further hair transplant, why not just use SMP to give the illusion of a shaved head of hair. I have no idea what "donor recharge next year" means, you have scars in the donor because the living tissue of a follicular unit has been removed, it doesn´t recharge, regrow. It´s hard to understand your plan or theory behind this, but I feel it´s flawed.

They just replenish the follicles that have been taken from the donor area, donor recharge or fot farming the terms they use.. I'm not ready for a skinhead yet lol. I will definitely have smp to my donor,as I have a skin fade.

 

[Understanding Hair]

I have so many questions but will only ask, or state a few. So, you intend to replenish the donor with hair from the scalp or beard or body, if from the scalp where from, no point taking from the donor as that´s simply moving from the donor to an area of the donor. You take from the top then you lose hair over the top and defeat the object of a hair transplant. You take from the beard or body, but often this hair varies in characteristics so limited in usage. If you intend to have the hair removed again at a later date, what is positively achieved from the process? You damage the hairs every time they are moved, potentially causing miniaturisation and maybe, if performed previously, why the transplanted hair fell out previously. If you are not ready for a shaved hair style, why are you wanting SMP over the recipient area, you will need to keep the hair over the top shaved to maintain a natural look, even a few mm´s in length starts to look fake. That said, if it´s grown out around the sides a little, that will not look balanced either.

I have a skin fade style so this has alot of dots 4000 + the 1500 recently. So my plan is to fill the faded area(white dots) with body hair to replenish (its not going to be longer than 10mm at worst) and smp so i can use more of the best hair from my donor to fill on top of my head. I want smp in my frontal 3rd to make it look fuller too.
I don't know why my transplanted hair doesn't last it seems to go from my temples over the years. My.frontal third was done around 10 years ago that has thinned a bit or the native hair has gone.. I've used a top great surgeon for the first 2 ht's but the third one i went for cheap in this country, time will tell if I've made the right choice
