Great video Joe. Definitely agree with everything stated. If shaving one’s head is even a passing thought then having surgery should really be reconsidered. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Thanks, Oncall. Dr. Muresanu (both of them) have a great take on who should and shouldn't have surgery, and obviously don't need to talk anyone into it.
Here is what I have done for scaring in the donor area. 1. I had a scar excision for the large vertical scar that was from an injury, not hair transplantation. (You were there so you know about this) 2. I Had head donor hair transplanted in an FUT scar. This was done in a small amount and early in the history of FUE so it made almost no impact. 3. I went to an SMP artist about 15 years ago. She was actually not very good, but the tattooing alone made what was a pink FUT scar turn white. The tattoo gun itself had a micro-needling effect that helped improve the appearance of the scar. 4. Last year, I had a second SMP session performed by a better artist. This did camouflage the FUT scar; however, it didn't hide it entirely because the scar is slightly concave. The only way to truly conceal the scar has been to grow my hair long. I also had some SMP in my donor area where there was overharvesting from FUE and this made a nice improvement in my donor area. I think in all but extreme cases, that is probably better than transplanting hair into the donor area using body hair. 5. Five months ago, I had 400 beard hair grafts placed in the FUT scar. We focused only on the portion of the scar on the back of my head because that is the only area where it can be seen, so the transplantation was quite dense. Growth has only recently begun, but I am already noticing improvement. In my case, the thick caliber of beard hair seems to be overcoming the scalp deformities caused by a shoddy FUT job that created the scar.
Can you please tell me 5 top hair transplant clinics in Europe and Japan . I am considering hattigen clinic but also want to know few other clinics which are top rated
I've never looked at clinics in Japan so I have no idea. There is one clinic in S. Korea I think does good work and that's Dr. Baik and his clinic Nobeline. I have never reviewed him so it isn't an official endorsement but I know him, and I like his work. One thing I know about him is that he's humble and accepts criticism as an opportunity to learn. ua-cam.com/video/f3GamTl-CPQ/v-deo.html
In Europe there is obviously Hattingen, but then in the UK there is The Maitland Clinic, Dr. Mani Mital and Dr. Ted Miln, all of which meet very high standards. Dr. Munib Ahmad at FUEgenix in the Netherlands is quite good as are Choi Experts in Greece, and the old guard that includes Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Feriduni, Dr. Lupanzula and a few others maybe.
Hi I have a thin but sharp fut scar that I’ve had smp done and only looks kind of camouflaged when it is freshly shaved I want to do fue grafts into it so that when the hairs around it start to grow it is still not really noticeable would I be a good candidate for this
Guys do you know any independent forum for HT reviews that is not spammed by fake reviews or sponsors? Thanks, I'm new to this. Reddit seems useful but, don't know how much can I trust it.
In my experience Beard hair is superior however you will have to live with a slightly different texture than your native hair in your donor area as a result.

Only disappears if the scar is flat

Generally speaking, yes. But never expect 100% camouflage when trying to hide a scar. It is never perfect.

Which is more effective for camouflaging fut scars: beard transplants or smp?
Also, which one should I try first?
