Hi,
I had a FUT HT about 18 months ago from a Coalition Physician recommended in this forum. I do read a lot on this forum but rarely do post (I need to post more)

I feel like my results look good in pics but when I look myself in the mirror I feel like it looks a bit fake. (May be it's just me)

I'm planning on getting another HT done to add more density to my Hairline and Zone#2 & 3.

I'm currently on Propecia and Rogaine.

I would like you to give your honest opinion about my results...

newGuy,

Your hair looks good in the pictures. In what way do you feel it looks fake?

Honestly, adding density with subsequent sessions including to the areas behind the hairline will probably help it appear even more natural.

All the Best,

Bill

Thanks.. for the reply...

ohhh... I don't know how to put it...
*) my present hairline has less density....
*) my hair looks OK from the front ... but when you look from an angle or from top.. most of my scalp is visible (see through)
*) my top has very little natural hair which I guess is not consistent with my hairline

I sometimes feel that I should get a megasession(5000+ grafts) and forget about it.. but I cannot do it for a couple more years.. and since I'm 27 my doc is advising against getting a huge one but recommending several small (2000+) ones couple of years apart
or
And sometimes I fell I should stay this way until Intercytex or Aderans comes up with hair cloning...(I guess it should be 5-10 years)

sorry for the lengthy post...

I think it looks excellent for a first pass, generally - it is almost impossible to have full density in one pass due to placement reference, one more pass and you will be good to go. I think you look natural.

Best of luck.
