Covering FUT scars for people with type 1 diabetes?

aalsalaminJan 12, 2016
I have had an FUT hair transplant years ago, and i had an FUE hair transplant recently. I just want to cover my FUT scars by any possible way. I have an insulin-dependent diabetes and I went to have a tricopigmentation but they refused to do it to me because of my condition. What other possible ways can i cover my FUT scars with?

That is an unusual amount of shedding for four months post op. I personally have never seen the like. Shock loss happens very quickly, so not likely it's that. I can't imagine why you would have such a massive delayed response. Go see your doctor and make sure there isn't something else going on...

I think your hair transplant looks great. You could augment the look with some temple point work but not at all required in my opinion. Probably a few hundred would do it. Don't worry about your hairline it looks natural and normal. Congratulations.

Normal hair density for an average Caucasian male is about 200 hairs per square centimeter or 1290  hairs per square inch.  (Do the math conversion)

It certainly would be acceptable to wear a wig after FUE/FUT hair transplant. However, you should not wear one until the grafts are "stable" which is typically 10-14 days. Certainly you should discuss this with your doctor as you should follow his or her recommendations for the best result.

You cannot fix a bad hair transplant surgery. It's usually for life. You can see another doctor for your options.  Lasers cannot remove scarring from a hair transplant surgery.

After 15000 surgeries, I have never seen a strip surgery change the face of a patient. I think that I would like to examine you as you might be the first one.
