Question

Answer Snippet
Can my eyebrows grow back in the place of stitches?
Scarred eyebrow
Feb 14, 2019
Unfortunately the scar tissue usually replaces the hair follicles so there most likely won’t be hair growing back in the area. Replacing the follicles with a transplant can camoflage the scar tissue in the area where the eyebrow previous was and restore symmetry to the face. The angles of the grafts are critical for a natural result so its important to find a surgeon experienced with this specialized type of transplant. 
Is it possible that grafts are taken from rest of my donor area,fill in these patches to repair
Overharvested stripes
Feb 14, 2019
I would recommend doing micro pigmentation into the harvested areas first and see if that takes away the contrast enough. I’m thinking transplanting into the areas might improve it slightly but you’ll still see the color contrast of the lighter scar tissue vs the surrounding tissue and dark hair. If you try the micropigmentation first and are not satisfied, you can always add some grafts at that point. But chances are, you might not need to. 
Just wondering on how many grafts will be needed to get a good coverage and also am I eligible f
Candidacy for FUE
Feb 7, 2019
Based on your age and thinning pattern, I’d strongly encourage you to find some method of prevention to try before doing surgery. You have a diffuse pattern of loss and would need a very large number of grafts to make an impact right now. You may get a similar impact from something like minoxidil, finasteride, or high concentration PRP. Or a combination of these. As you get older, your loss will progress so jumping into surgery without  stabilizing things first would not be the wisest th…

Shaved head for consultation
Feb 7, 2019
Trimming your hair or shaving your hair should not cause a problem for your consultation. That said, I have had patients who shave their head with a bic razor every morning that it made it difficult to assess. If you shave that close, I would leave some stubble the day of your consult. 
Is this the final FUE result as per the grafts transplanted?
results
Feb 7, 2019
In general the transplanted grafts take 12-16 months to see the final results. You’ll see a big visual change typically between 6-9 months but the density will continue to increase to a lesser extent up to 12 months. Some of the characteristics of the growing hair like curl, color, and of course length will further mature between the 12-16th month. So I think its too early to say your current state is the final result. 
Would an FUE can achieve good results for densifying my non-bald zone?
Densifying
Feb 7, 2019
Thanks for the photo. It appears there is a decreased density in areas throughout the top that could be addressed with a transplant. It looks like there is enough room between existing hairs to transplant without damaging the native hair. Find a good FUE surgeon that can assess your donor area and see if your expectations can be met with your donor supply. If you are trying to cover the entire top, you may require a large number of grafts so make sure your supply can meet the demand. You …
