Regular Member PP2 Posted April 10, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 Saw this on the news today: Backstreet Boy’s Shocking Hair Transplant Photos - ABC News No word on who was the doctor, what method or number of grafts.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted April 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 The strip is taken far too low:( As long as he's happy, that is what matters. I'd be interested in seeing the back.

Senior Member tacolinowest Posted April 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 Joe, how can u tell its taken to low without seeing the back of his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted April 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 His right side seems obvious to me but I can also see the line on the left side (first pic). Judging by how fresh the recipient looks I'm sure this is where the donor was shaved or maybe it could be donor shock.

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Kudos to AJ McLlean for being forthcoming about his hair transplant. Hopefully this will help more balding men and women see that wanting to restore your hair and self image (through hair transplantation or other means) is nothing to be ashamed of. Unfortunately, I agree that the strip was harvested far too low. The primary problem with taking lower strips is the additional risks of stretching. It also makes subsequent procedures more difficult. But ultimately, as long as AJ is happy with his results, I'm happy for him. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nice catch, Joe. I didn't see how low the strip was taken before. Far below the occipital notch. Regardless, I hope he's happy, and I do think the post-operative results show a significant change.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted April 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2013 Another issue with the strip taken so low is that if AJ ever has issues with retrograde alopecia this is one of the places that it develops so potentially his transplanted hair can thin. As it stands, I see no evidence of RA so hopefully he'll be fine.
