FUE and Scars
I would like to get HT, but one question: how do you determine as to the donor site location? My friend had 2000 FUE’S and it seems like his donor cut was equal level with the eye brows, is this OK? He told me that he had a HT doen ten years ago and his FUE dr. told him that he would remove the old scar which was that high as well. What if he became so bald that his hair loss went lower than his current scar? Can HT doctors determine as to future loss?
Thanks for the fine questions. Donor incisions, if placed in the middle of the permanent hair zone should be covered with the hair that is there for the life of the patient. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is an alternative, but you must be sure that you will be a candidate for such a procedure. I would want to see you and test your hair to find out if you are a candidate. I suggest that you read up on FUE at newhair.com. It includes pictures and videos of the procedure as well as post-operative patient followups. Scars from traditional hair transplants can be fixed in many cases. Again, I would have to evaluate the person in order to judge repair possibilities. To answer your last question, yes doctors can determine what your most probable hair loss situation is, provided that you are over age 30.
