FIT follow-up questions...

Bradley

Much thanks for the helpful replies. At earliest convenience, further questions I have....

1) Is the scaring from the donor area (where the graft is punched out) equivalent to the potential scaring in the recipient area (hairline)? In other words, when shaving ones head post FIT, is the potential scaring just from the back of the head or is there scaring in the front as well?

2) Early twenties is young for any HT. So of course I struggle with the balance between waiting for future technology and having the work done. Do you feel future technology will allow for less and less scaring when doing FIT. It is my understanding that the tools for removal of grafts designed by IHTI are becoming smaller and smaller with time. If anyone could comment on this, it would be much appreciated.

3) I understand it varies, but could you please comment on the rate of shock loss when one implements FIT - especially in the hairline.

Again, much thanks for any replies...this is a great website for such a revolutionary technique. I am surprised there are not more postings on it. One last thing, in the last 7 moths of reading over five major hair restoration forums....I have never heard one negative comment made directly about Dr. Cole or IHTI. I have a feeling that in the realm of cyber hairloss, this is impressive! Congrats...

Hello there!

"1) Is the scaring from the donor area (where the graft is punched out) equivalent to the potential scaring in the recipient area (hairline)? In other words, when shaving ones head post FIT, is the potential scaring just from the back of the head or is there scaring in the front as well?"

The scarring is minimal in both areas. In the donor area the patient will have a gap where the unit is extracted. This is not the case in the hairline.

"2) Early twenties is young for any HT. So of course I struggle with the balance between waiting for future technology and having the work done.

The tools are getting better and better but not smaller necessarily. Follicular units are not shrinking so neither do the tools for extraction Smile

"3) I understand it varies, but could you please comment on the rate of shock loss when one implements FIT - especially in the hairline. "

Shock is rare but it happens. It is a priority to avoid it. One should be prepared for minor temporary shock. It probably won't happen though.

Hi Bradley,
I have some questions...
How old are you?
What is your plan for fighting your hair loss?
Are you planning on doing some FIT work?
I'm just curious...i'm planning to do a surgery and want to share opinions with other potential patients Smile

Thanks.
