Fixing a FUE Patient




This patient had a strip surgery ten years ago and a FUE a couple years ago. Patient was not happy with either scar. Dr. Bolton took both previous procedure scars out. You will get to follow this case in the next few months as the patient gets his results. You can see the FUE is not a scar less surgery as touted. It leaves a circular scar. You can also see there are not many which means the procedure did not yield much hair. The patient paid a premium for the "scar less" surgery which left scars and had a minimal result. Also notice the circular scars go above the typical donor area. It is not uncommon for doctors who do this procedure to take hairs outside the safe zone. There is probability that these hairs will thin and fall out as the patient ages because they were not harvested from the safe zone.
