I Had 3 Procedures and Now I Want to Shave My Head
I have had 3 procedures over the past 9 years. My total transplant count was in the range of 5000 grafts. I have had very poor results in terms of density.
I am ready to shave my head and have seen photos showing what I should look like with ashaved head. I am happy with the look. I know that my donar scar will be visbible but I am ok with that. My question is regarding the liklihood that my recipient area will be detectable as having had grafts when shaved bald. I have no visible scarring there that I can see but am still concerned about this. Can you or anyone else offer some guidance/comfort so that I can proceed. This has been an enormous daily battle for me for many years. I have considered going to a hair transplant specialist and asking for some type of magnified examination of my recipient area, but other than than Im not sure how to know. I have hair up there but its too thin too really work with. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I really cannot give you much assurance, since I haven’t seen your hair transplant or your scars. Some hair transplants may leave some degree of scarring in the recipient area that may be detectable when you shave your head. To be honest, the only way to tell is to go for it — but before you do this, you should sit down for a face-to-face with a doctor who is experienced in this type of problem and examine your options in detail, one on one. I would be pleased to do this with you and it is may even be worthwhile for you to come to Los Angeles where I will personally evaluate your situation. Considering all of the money you paid for what you describe as poor results, the cost of such a trip is nominal.
