I think the donor scar is pretty normal and your right I think if you plan on spendin $30k or so you can get good results but when I went for my 1500 for $6k I was not told to put aside another $24k to really achieve the look I would be happy with. If I were I probably would have just shaved it then. I am using Mederma and I am actually going tomorrow to a doc to see if lasering may help.

dr. Feller, I like your new avatar, quite funny.

But seriously, we are seeing a tremendous number of bad bad strip scarring by European docs, as if nothing changed over the last 10 years.
Maybe you have an opinion to why this is ?

Dear forum members,

Dr. Bessam Farjo posted a compelling argument for the occasional harvesting the donor strip under the occipital bump.

You can read his detailed argument with pictures on this thread.

Best wishes,

Falc

I would just like to tell you that your scar looks like nothing more than a scratch! and Im not gay and dont mean to sound that way but you have a very nice shaped or nice looking head! if i was you I would just stay bald and learn to live and be happy with it! Lot of girls now adays dig that too and it is not weird or unatractive like it was many, many years ago, in fact its a trend now.

Trust me i have seen Keloid scars from HT, Otoplasty rinoplasty that is really really sad to see and imagine being in that persons' shoes! what you have, that mingor scratch of a scar that you have is really NOTHING compared to what most people have had to live with after a bad surgery experience! go ahead and live your life the way you should and be happy with it!

A guy walked up to me and said what is that scar from? "I said a hairtranplant" He started laughling and said "yeah right, really what was it?" After I convinced him I was not joking he said that it was a funny reason since I was completely shaved.
