Body hair is not terribly efficient for treating the donor area, and it will take a lot of body hair as well. More hair means more cost. It is much better to do Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/).

I have heard you say that hair transplants are not an option for young men under 25. If you are confident about getting good results for NW7 people, why are young men who are heading to a Class 7 pattern not good candidates? The supply of donor hair in a Class 7 pattern is only 20% of […]
The photo below shows a man with an advanced balding pattern (Norwood Class 7 pattern). This is the pattern that is a risk for every man having a hair transplant. Everyone runs this risk. They could lose all of their hair except for this 2½ inch rim of hair around the back and sides of […]
Many people have donor densities that will not support 4000+ grafts. They will develop a see-through donor area, reflecting donor site depletion. This may be your situation, and to deal with this, you might have to keep your hair long in the back of your head, or see a doctor and get scalp micropigmentation if […]
Your donor area was over-harvested, something that unfortunately we are seeing more of. This happens because the doctor wants to get more and more of your money, so they push the FUE beyond what the donor area can support. Your doctor should have measured the donor density PRIOR to performing your FUE procedure. The single best […]
A young man, about 30, went to 5 different doctors, and each performed a hair transplant. He changed doctors because the surgery failed each time, so he thought he would find a better doctor. He has well over 7,000 grafts after six surgeries. The last and final surgery brought him to a doctor who performed […]
I have found that many of the rich and famous don’t do their research when it comes to getting a hair transplant, as I have had to fix many of them. Donald Trump is a good example of a botched job (scalp reductions, and now he is stuck with a terrible scar down the middle […]
The FUE procedure depletes the donor area and can produce such scars as shown in your photo. If you let your hair grow out, the scars will be covered by the long hair. If you want to treat it, you can get Scalp Micropigmentation, which is very effective to mask these scars.
You still have hair there, and maybe you can still stimulate these hair follicles by taking a combination of minoxidil and finasteride for one year. If this works, you don’t have to have a hair transplant, but if it does not work after a year, then a hair transplant of about 2000 grafts (assuming your […]
Your donor area will never regrow since the hair grafts removed by the FUE are gone forever from the donor area. From the pictures it looks like you were both over-harvested (too many FUE grafts taken per square inch) and the area harvested was too high (not all of the grafts are permanent grafts and […]
Having a hair transplant is not a solution if either the surgeon or the team or both do not have the skills to do the hair transplant properly. Your problem is not an uncommon problem. I would normally suggest that you return to your surgeon and ask him to make this ‘right’ with you. With […]
An FUE surgery of 5,000 grafts is most likely too many grafts for the donor area in 98% of the population. As a result, you have a problem with over-harvesting which produces a see-through donor area. The original density may have been too low to support the number of FUE grafts you had done. You now have a […]
You have significant donor site depletion. This problem is caused by over-harvesting the grafts from your FUE three months earlier. The only thing you can do is to get Scalp MicroPigmentation, which will hide the balding spots, but it will not add hair. See here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/
I had 4,400 grafts done, and I am terribly scarred with cobblestoning of my skin. I have a heavily scarred recipient and donor area. Can this be reversed? Unfortunately, the answer here is no. Reversing 4,400 grafts would be an enormous challenge, and it would take far longer to try to reverse it than having it […]
The donor area has been significantly impacted by FUE, suggesting that your original donor density was significantly less than what the number of FUE grafts could have supported. Your doctor should have measured your donor area density prior to doing FUE. The limits on FUE is related to your donor density, otherwise it produces significant scarring […]
