Oh nooo.

If I'd go for an hair transplant, I'd definately do FUE (follicular unit extraction).

I don't know whether scalp reduction is still performed ... strip is still done ...

Scalp reduction

Strip method


:x :x :x

 

[The Gardener]

No hair transplant's for me, thanks.

 

[Guest]

thats some pretty gross sh*t

 

[everysixseconds]

dammit. id rather go bald

 

[Strife]

thanks for setting me straight

 

[dead]

sh*t! they peeled the first fella like an orange !!

yep, I am definately in the 'I would rather thin naturally' camp

 

[jfrank]

HM would be less bloody, right?

 

[follijinxed]

There is only one or two doctors I'd ever trust with strip, but hopefully my hair will hold out long enough for HM

 

[Melbs]

Not many things make me feel sick by merely looking at them on screen... that was fu$&%ng gross. I cant believe anyone would EVER even consider doing something like that... even with a "Reputable Doctor" it's just suicide...

Holy sh*t...

 

[not me!]

Haha.

Pretty gross crap, huh? What that site doesn't tell you is that 99% of it talks about antiquated techniques. Now, I am as queasy as the next guy and I could barely look at those pictures too, but the hair transplant's I have seen do not look that bad. To assume FUE is any less risky than Strip is an uninformed statement.

I don't want to come off as trying to sell you on hair transplant's - they are not for everyone, most definitely. However, make sure you familiarize yourself with current technology before you totally dismiss it as a gruesome torture chamber as this poor, deluded guy would have you believe.

Research and education, gentlemen.

(That is only if you were considering a hair transplant before. If you weren't then, by all means, save your cash and buy a boat or something!)

Scalp reduction might be antiquated though it is still performed. And strip is done in most hair transplant clinics. Today, the grafts are much smaller and the insertion techniques improved, but the basic principle of the strip procedure is still the same.

Now, that's interesting. What are the risks of FUE ?

 

[Lopfraze]

no hair transplant for me then.

lets make sure that hm is a little "nicer" than that.

 

[marsbtchsx]

i couldnt look at those pics long enough to figure it out... but arent those pictures from like 10 - 15 years ago? ive seen pics on hair transplant's including the strip and they didnt look nearly as horrific as that today

 

[follijinxed]

I can't believe the doctor stuck his @#$# hand down the side of the guys scalp in the reduction. That guy has an awful looking scalp now with scars and probably no sensation. Awesome.

Strip with an elite doctor isn't as bad, even in that site it didn't seem horrific. its what I expected. I wouldn't want even a 1mm scar though, that is my only thing about strip. I'll have to see how my hair looks in a year after I save some dough.

I am also curious as to what could be bad about FUE though.

They are still done. Mostly by hacks but reputable physicians will still perform them in EXTREME repair cases where it is actually a viable option. It is no longer the "norm."

Now, that's interesting. What are the risks of FUE ?

Well, anyone that tells you that there is no scarring is either lying or uninformed. Many suggest that it can leave a "moth-eaten" appearance, but that is not always the case but it certainly has been in some. Transection of the grafts upon removal is always a risk as well as poor yield. FUE enthusiasts will argue that this has or is getting better and I agree, but strip procedures still have consistently better yields. Noone seems to know why.

There is definitely a limit on how much FUE can be performed in one day whereas there are consistently 5,000+ graft per day patients coming out on a regular basis now.

I am not "pro-strip" or "pro-FUE" or "anti-strip" or "anti-FUE" so I don't want to get into a huge discussion for anybody that is "pro-" one of these things. I am just laying out the facts as my extensive research into the matter has shown me.

Bis, I hope that helped to clear some things up for you.
