Donor Location
I recently had 2000 FUT's by a well respected doctor in the field (and planning to get more, but this time, FUE's with you). But I notice though that my donor scar location is about a 1/2 inch or so above the occipital protuberance, (the small bump in the back of my head). He evaluated my hair and also I had a small previous scar from a prior HT done with laser (600 grafts) that he cut out with the new donor location. Also He took the donor hair from below the scar.
I am 43 years of age and I believe that I am a class 4 (or maybe close to 5).
My questions are: Is my donor scar too high?
And are the chances high at my age to progress to a class 5 or 6?
My Father and grandfather (both from my mother's and father's side) had normal full hair--only, of course, the normal thinning hair as they reached their 70's. Except my uncles on my mothers side are classes 5's and 6's.
Thank you so much for your time
Mike
