Sir Harry:
Welcome,  Dave

Thanks for sharing your story and for the pictures.  The good thing is that even after you shave, there are many options on how to handle a shaved or buzzed head, as well as scarring. Best of luck, and feel free to ask questions about anything.

It's been 2 months since my FUE operation, the biggest mistake of my life. I would much rather have the FUT scar! Some people look and think you had a surgery or an accident, no big deal. Some people see that you had a HT when you were younger and now just don't give a f@#k! FUE scars looks like a bad tattoo or a disease.

I am scared as hell how my scalp is going to heal. So far not so good, still red and I can see the permanent cobblestoning and hyperpigmentation. I feel like a fake loser getting a HT... And unnatural! These 2 months have been the worst. Anti-depressants and sleeping pills for the first time in my life. Can't imagine how many people the hair transplant business destroys.

I am jealous to anyone who has a healthy scalp, no matter how much hair.

@hctr Sorry I took so long to give a response, but how are you doing? Are things any better?

Hey guys.

I posted in this feed in 2017. You can scroll up to see my photos. Hair Transplant failure. Thought I’d give an update...

I let my hair grow longer and used Topix for a while and that actually worked pretty well, even tho it was a temporary fix. I then tried out a couple different types of hair systems. That actually went fairly well, no one in my family even knew it wasn’t my hair. When I told my sister she was shocked. The only problem is that I know it’s not my hair, and I feel like a fraud. Not to mention it kind of gets in the way of your day to day life and is harder to excercise with, you’re always a little worried when you see a doctor under bright lights, get a massage or when you’re intimate with a girl. Obviously a life changing ordeal.

I’m currently looking into SMP again. I found someone near Vancouver, BC (@inkbarber) who does incredible work. If you’re considering SMP take a look at his Instagram account.

I shaved the top of my head where the hair system is placed so I’ve been able to see the scars etc pretty well. Has anyone else with HT bumps noticed any healing after time? Seems as though it might be getting slightly less noticeable. Of course I have white pigmented scars all over the back and sides of my head as well from the FUE punches.

Here are some scalp photos. Maybe with some sunshine and a derma roller I wouldn’t be in too bad of shape?











And here are a couple photos of the hair system:








Open to thoughts/opinions from anyone who has been down this road.

Thanks!

Dave, did you end up shaving down to see how it’s looking? Any improvement in scarring since you u last posted? Hope you’re finding some peace of mind despite this crummy situation.
