I thought about this a few times, but after my experience with surgery just remembering the operating seat puts me off. The fact that anytime I rest my head on anything (pillow, car headrest, etc) the area where the transplanted hair was taken gets touched — it's fully recovered but the large scar just feels odd. If the doc took the strip slightly higher or lower it wouldn't been much better. Actually anytime I mention about the uncomfortable scar feeling to anyone that has had strip surgery they immediately know exactly what I'm talking about lol.

I wish I thought of just doing the first 3/4-1" or so and the temples. Somehow that thought never entered my mind, probably because I wanted the HT to stop using hair systems altogether. Seeing some of the pictures I probably going to have to do it again in a year or so because I've noticed my templates going slightly back (I'm in my mid 20's).

How did you transition from full hair system to HT front with hair system?
Did you do strip or FUE?
How do you make sure the HT density in the front stays similar to your hair system, or were you completely bald at the front already?
