  1. Hey thanks for the great reply. I have uploaded new pictures. Before surgery, with grafts, and after year from surgery. So 3 steps of pictures. Please see if there is difference and what you think, Thanks!
  2. Hi guys, I have visited the doctor First when he saw me, he was so pleased with his work. I told him there were very little growing and after all. He said, " he can only do 35% density with 1420 FU without stressing the blood flow. Is that true? He said, for additional density up to 55% ,it might cost me $4500 for second procdure. Which I can not afford. I taught the first procedure will take care of it. I did try my best to explain to him it was not good enough but in a way, all he cared was that the hairs grew compared to what I had before. Before doing the procedure, he did not made it clear that only 35% will grow in density. In a way, I was able to tell that he was saying " if you want more density then it will cost more". I thought those grafts were enough for density on the frontal part of my forehead? To be honest, yes there was difference. I had hairs growing but there is bald spots and it's not thick enough. What do you think? In my every day life, I had to put black eyeliners to cover the bald spots and seems like the doctor did half-work. He said, it would take another surgery for good thickness with additional cost. Any advice?
  3. FUT maybe. I had a scar on my back of my donor head which is going to stay forever. I can't get shaved anymore because of that scar. So sad that I lost this much money for this doctor. I hope he will be able to do something. No idea how to approach him Next when I see him, it is my yearly visit after surgery. I guess he might act like this was a success but what he told me and what was delivered is not even close. Yes he gave me some hair line but not much hair. I have bald spots and can't comb my hair backwards I have to cover the bald spots or USE eye liner (black) to cover bald spots... YOU SEE MY PAIN! :(
  4. Thanks all for taking time to answer my questions with your great responses. @Future_HT_Do: I will follow as you said, I will keep you updated on what happens. I plan to visit him next week after calling and making appointment. Wish me luck !:eek: @scar5: I will try to find better picutures of post surgery and post them here. So, are you guys saying, 1320 graft is very small number of grafts and it won't fill my frontal part of the head? See, he covered only the 1/3 part of my frontal head on the picture below. The surgery took only one day.
