SMP at Nape of the Neck?
Have you done any SMP cases for the nape area or for patients with retrograde alopecia?
We have not performed SMP to the nape of the neck. We can grade the size and shade of the pigment to blend so that the nape of the neck will appear finer than the scalp hair. I see no reason why it would not work as long as the haircut can match the buzzcut look.
I remember a few years back I always used to tell barber to give me a square back haircut. However, when I started loosing hair, the barber told me I can’t do that anymore because the nape hair is receding as well. I was shocked to hear this. Then I discovered that hair loss occurs there too. So now I have to be worry about my receding hair line on the front and the back. The only option I have is let my donor area grow to cover the receding nape hair line. Then one day I got a razor and buzzed my hair with a number 2 clipper. I tried to created a squared back haircut, when I did that the hair line for so high that it looked horrible. Maybe this is an that SMP should address too.
