Spanker

It's been almost 8 years for me.  I don't need another at this point. Also, there is a wide gap between wanting grafts and needing grafts. 

Hey, so I guess I have been under a rock when it comes to this subject but I missed the point that 1mg generic finasteride became available. 

I got a script and did not notice that was what it was. I have been on 1.25mg fin for 10 years successfully, cutting the 5mg into quarters. 

I am trying to decide whether or not to go back and get a 5mg or to just move to the 1mg and not have to worry about cutting the pills.

Thoughts?

Nice job

I would say this is a grade 6 not 3v.

Oh yeah, looking forward to seeing this pop

Grow well.

I have a very similar situation with scaring from Artas . I have seen multiple FUT scar repairs in this forum. Now my question is , is there any repair for this situation? What do you guys recommend? Smp? Or beard hair into the fue scar ? Is that ethical to transplant hair into a FUE Scar? 

Noted that smp seems to only look good when people keep their hair shaved really low. I like to wear mines longer. Almost a 3-4 guard . 

Also if ur hair is transplanted into a FUE scar. And you get a procedure in future. Could you move that hair around again that you transplanted back in to donor ?

You could, but the graft could be at riak that you move more than once. From your question, beard would be best to move once if your situation warrants it.  You would need to send post pics or send pics directly to get an assessment. 

Very nice case. 

Nice looking. 

The only way you will have a thick crown is to get a hair system.  Even then, it could be difficult to match the sides to a thick top. 

Your best bet would probably be to reset expectations, enjoy what you have, or shave your head. 

Solid results. Congrats. 

Dont do it. Look at guys that are 43 and 53...your hairline is better than most of them. Once you do the hairline, you are stuck with it. Yours looks good. 

I think you should not put topik in the first 3/4 inch.  It looks a little too stark and unconvincing.  Natural hair is not that much of a "wall."

Looks really good. 

Looks like the pt has a brow lift scar?

I have CVG and hair loss happens faster I think in areas that were going to lose anyway.  It is stressful to have. 

Very impressive result. 

Balding is almost always MPB in men. This looks like it could be the beginning of that, but I would see a hair specialist that can diagnose you. 

Rogaine and finasteride are your best options if you are serious about keeping your hair if you are diagnosed with the beginning stages of Male Pattern Baldness. 

I would say that is one of the lower H and W hairlines I've seen. The work looks great tho. Were there any special considerations about the placement?

Honest, realistic, competent 

I dont know anything about the clinic, but perfect symmetry doesnt exist in nature.

It’s hard to believe you’re not pleased. Remember hair transplants are an “illusion of density” not true density. I don’t think there any other surgeon that would’ve done a better job. Yes, H&W are great, but so is Gabel. He’s literally transformed you man. Truthfully, if you’re not happy talk to him and let him know. I’m sure he’s willing to add more grafts. That said, IMHO you don’t need any.

Gabel is great, but I can see why he is not happy too. It doesnt mean that Gabel did anything wrong. Could have lost more hair, could just be not enough grafts.  

Melvin is right, you wont get original density (I dont know what "true" density means), but I do think you would be happy with more grafts.  Also, you should be on finasteride. 

Good work

Where is the CT? What part of the body?

If you were getting a CT of the head, I'm pretty sure it would not matter. Anything else especially, I would not lose sleep over. 

Nice use of a small amount of grafts. Would have liked to read more details. How many grafts was pts first surgery. Was he on meds.  Why only 2200? Etc
