Yes. I agree with you Heliboy. It is very nice to have nicely framed face, but please look at the toll. It your case the toll was 19,000 grafts and much suffering to have framed face. To many others it is equally devastating. I am saying until better solution comes along framing face with this “sexy low hairline” is not for everyone. It should not be promoted by doctors because it is dangerous road to travel.

You have no idea what you are talking about, Heliboy was a major repair case, you made it sound like everyone has to have that many grafts in order to have a nice head of hair.

I read heliboy condition and I am happy for him and his final results. His results came at a great cost. Even in best case scenario (with no bad doctors and much less grafts) these results would come at a great cost to anyone. I am repeat my first comment. These “sexy low hairline” are not for everyone. Not now with these procedure technique.

Thank you for misunderstanding my comments.

I do see your point and totally understand where you are coming from. My graft counts are high with body hair repair because I made mistakes early on in my late teens and had to use the large body hair numbers to get myself bck to normalcy . The hairline definitely puts icing on the cake when completed to fit your needs but like everything else in life it all comes down to priorities and what is all worth to someone (mentally,phsically,financially etc). I must disagree with one point - actually with todays technique of FUE alot can be accomplished without the risk we were forced to take in the past with strip only.

Yes I agree fue is much improved procedure. I disagree this procedure is enough for most people. I say this because most people continue to lose hair and fue does not change the math of donor supply very much. fue is also too expensive for most people. Danger still continue because some doctors use fue to sell “sexy low hairlines” with no idea how they will maintain these hairlines for the patient. I see some doctors use fue to quote higher donor supply number than available. These patients commit to low hairline only to have a lifetime of surgeries stripping their wallet.

Also didn’t someone say that for body hair transplant, only single hair grafts are used? If it is true then 17000 means only about 8500 grafts in the usual sense.

Again I agree with you on some of your points. I think it is very important for those knowing upfront they will have to chase their hair loss if they begin restoration of the hairline and have potential for further loss . Many times I believe this is something that can be reviewed with some sense of confidence based on age . In my case I began losing rapidly in my late teens so I knew I was destined for a high Norwood pattern in my twenties. That is what is nice about these forums/debates which I personally didnt have in the 1990’s when I began making poor decisions . I hope from all of our own personal experiences individuals who are looking for answers can get varying opinions and know that right questions and all options to put together the plan that is appropriate for them. Some individuals may feel they dont mind chasing their hair loss- some do not want that but they are informed and more wise about their decisions.

Blacjak- hard to believe but I personally tried for I’m guessing 1 year straight after my initial BHT procedure beginning in Sept 2005 to get this point out with BHT regarding the large numbers required . The problem is that when it comes to numbers everything gets compared solely to strip so when they see something such as 17,000 grafts they cant believe the numbers. In reality as you stated when the single grafts are actually extracted which is true- In order to be aesthetically useful for looks/density the singles are essentially ‘packed together’ as double or triples in the same graft recipient site . This often times makes what would be equivalent to one single hair scalp hair graft. Many do not review the exact procedures of BHT use and what is necessary to make it work before deeming it not useful.

These are the exact points that I think many are beginning to understand more fully now 3-4 years into BHT when it comes to the use of body hair use .It is used often so there are points that will always go overlooked with BHT becasue its essentially behind the scenes when it comes to restoration. As I have mentioned several times I believe in terms of priority of use 1) scalp hair first 2) beard hair (wasnt being done when I began my restoration in 2005 ) 3) then body hair when needed if deemed appropriate but we are fortunate it is available if needed in a restoration such as my case where excessive scarring was a big issue .

Very good points have been brought out in this thread.

Your argument is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with fue. What you said applies to strip too.

OK you are right. My comment is irrelevant because fue is perfect and fue will solve everyone’s problem. Fue will give everyone a full head of hair with sexy low hairline like mentioned in this threads article. Doctors will not use fue to lure people into more grafts, and this website is not necessary anymore. Thank you for misunderstanding everything I say.

Right, the difference here is Heliboy had a few poor procedures that set him back. If you have it done right the first time then you should be just fine. It may take more then one procedure to cover the entire head with hair, take Ernst for example. That guy had nothing up top. Now he has a full head of hair with a fully closed hairline. Looks totally natural and he is going back to Dr. Aramni this week to have his crown thickened even more! He was able to do this because all of his procedure yielded very well!

If you go to a good doctor the first time, with proper planning I still feel most can get back their natural hairline with temple closre nand have enough grafts for the back and full coverage.

Well this has been an interesting topic. I was at a wedding recently where some of my relatives have resorted to shaving their heads because of hair loss. Even with shaving their heads their Norwood patterns were still quite obvious. During the course of the evening my father came over to me and told me that he thought I looked great and that he was really happy that I had ended up getting my HT.

It feels great to have hair, and I feel good when I look in the mirror. I guess what I am trying to say is that I feel happy.

I am 33 now, alot of my friends now reaching their 30’s and mid 30’s have started shaving their heads, or trying the desperate “style to cover my thinning look”. Now myself, the one that was struggling with hairloss in my mid 20’s is walking around with a perfect hairline and beautiful head of hair. Feels good.

Now you are just being childish. What you said applies to strip too, yes or no? why single out FUE in your argument?
