Strip did hurt me in 96' (Hair Transplant)

posted by damon, 13.08.2007, 02:36

ť Back when I had my 100 transplants (but probably about 90) in 96 at the
ť awful place I went (no net back then for me), it hurt like all get out.
ť They cut out the donor with a laser, and it was very painful. The
ť recipient site creation was very painful, and Im not shrinking violet by a
ť long shot.
ť
ť Techniques and instruments are miles and miles better now of course. Ive
ť read guys saying they took a couple of asprin before FUE sessions and it
ť didn't hurt much, which is terrific.
ť
ť It felt like someone was welding on the back of my noggin' back in the
ť day. I dont think the doc (travelling) or the techs (worked for the
ť clinic---which has been out of business since around 2000 for screwing up
ť so much) back then really knew what they were doing. We really have come a
ť long way in surgery, and that is good.

FUE is a HUGE leap forward,there is no doubt that it is a less invasive procedure & will save countless numbers of people from disfigurement. However,I wouldnt go as far as to say that surgery has come a long way because the final results havent changed.
Fue is just like strip because it cannot guarantee consistent results or dense hair growth.
People still have that see through look.Removing the donor hair is only part of the process,there is yet allot of work to be done in the area of graft growth & density.
Surgery will never get to the stage where ALL patients will be guaranteed a dense natural looking cover of hair.Surgery will forever be a hit & miss option.
HM will be the only TRUE restoration procedure.
Surgery as a form of hair restoration (albeit a heavily flawed form) is on its last legs.
