Question

I had a bad FUE, Donor side is depleted and considering to fill some upper regions of the donor by doing a FUT in the lower region. Too many grafts around 3500 were extracted by FUE from the complete back side. Not interested in having Pigmentation.

It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination so you can better understand realistic outcomes after your doctor has a chance to listen to your exact goals.

A strip surgery is not the answer I’m afraid. Your best bet is scalp micropigmentation or transplanting beard hair in the area to mask the depletion.

Justin Rome, MD · Answer

There is a easier method called Scalp Camouflage that is simply tattooing little dots to mimic hair.  If you want to find out more about this we offer video consultation.  Having another surgery to fix this problem will take hair from the donor area that can be used later if you suffer from more hair loss.  We can help.

over harveating of the donor area does leave depleted donor area. If you don’t want to do SMP, you can do body or beard hair transplant to scalp.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The best way to treat a depleted donor area is not with another hair transplant but rather Scalp Micropigmentation
