Mature Hairline looks age appropriate, please trust your doctor.

How many Grafts your doctor has recommended? 

Results looks good but your Hair looks very frizzy, why not apply some serum?

Donor is looking impeccable.

Exciting times ahead

Exciting times ahead 

This is scary!

10days are enough to secure the grafts, but unfortunately you have some bleeding, please contact your HT Surgeon ASAP

For second session you plan to go Eugenix or some where else?

thanks for the full the informative answer

i got all my scubs off on my transplanted area and of course if i will do i i will be carefull 

but i read on internet that the sex is not allowed because the blood preasure go high and the heart rate too while doing sex

so you said it wont influence me if i will do sex activity? 

btw the graft are secure right now on my head after 4- 5 days? 

While having sex, if your partner accidentally touches your freshly implanted grafts then what? 

Its better to avoid sexual activity for at least 15days  

You can check @ADil results 

Go with Dr.Wong, coz he has world class experience in FUT and he is perfect to do mega session like yours.

I am pretty sure there will be some cancellation and you will get your HT sooner.

You are right on track and please remember You went to the best doctor so please be patient, 12 weeks is way too early to conclude anything.

Thank you for updating. 

Well unfortunately it's not looking great. I mean with over 5k grafts I would  expect some decent coverage but things are not looking good at the moment.

Still four months left and I am keeping my finger crossed. 

It's unfortunate you had sides from Finasteride, things would have been bit different had you been on Finasteride. 

What's your next plan? Is Eugenix willing to provide you another HT?

Please do discuss with them

You are currently experiencing full blown ugly duckling phase. 

Your existing hair will recover in few months, I hope you are having Finasteride daily.

This is really sad and poor results how I wish you had found this forum before jumping into HT especially in Turkey! 

So did you had in person consultation with your repair surgeon? 

How much donor grafts is available now?

I'm not sure. I'm hoping next week.

Sorry but why there is a delay? 

I am just excited for it. 

How come a hair loss as minimum as yours needed 5,000 grafts?? 

I just don't understand where Dr. Wong implanted those Grafts? 

What about existing hairs? Won't it get damage?

There isn't a ton out there, but the stuff you can find is absolutely amazing. His work is the only I'd say that might rival Konior in how clean it is. 

Absolutely recommend. Especially considering he charges 5-6€ a graft instead of $35k flat. 

Sorry to ask, but who charges flat $35K?

Care to share your progress?

Meanwhile I also consulted an aesthetic plastic surgeon in my city for making my bumpy recipient skin smooth, he suggested a "hybrid therapy" involving some kind of laser, similar to mole removal treatment. Not sure how effective it's going to be but I'm willing to give it a try. Does anyone know if such a treatment works?

All I read online is that cobblestoned skin cannot be saved yada yada. I wonder, all this progress in medical field but there isn't a tried and tested solution for cobblestoning.

Cobblestoning is not easy to correct

I guess the only possible options are as follows.

• Second Hair Transplant: When new follicular units are planted again during another hair transplant, the damage can be healed as the new hair grows long enough. 
• Micropigmentation: A micro-thin needle can minimize the scarring with the help of a special dye. 

Since you are from Nepal, I think Eugenix is pretty good option for repair. 

Unfortunately if you remove hair from the cobblestone area there are chances of getting scars. 

Please research carefully and explore your options. 

You can not afford another failure 

Always a pleasure to hear from Dr. Wong

One of the most enjoyable aspect of this job is the opportunity to try out new ideas. Lots of ideas simply did not work but the ones that do have let to advancements like custom cut blades, depth control for recipient sites, mega and giga sessions, and lateral/coronal slits for angle control all of which had been major advancements in our field. I have learned that over the years scalp have different tolerances to trauma which is why the same parameters that grow well in one person may do poorly in another. Sometimes we know about risk factors such as smoking and diabetes and take precautions in advance but often there are no advance warnings nor signs that hair may grow poorly in any one individual. The search for consistent hair growth is ongoing no matter how experienced or how good we are as hair surgeons. I don't and will never bat 100% but my bating average has improved and are still improving. 

I would like to discus some of the changes I made in the last 8 years that have made my work better. Cutting thousands of sites on the scalp in one session is extremely stressful for the skin and any changes that can reduce skin or vascular damage even by a small percentage is significant. By switching from single 0.2 mm thick) to double edge  (0.1 mm) razor blades there were less bruising and slight improvement in hair growth as the thinner blades cuts cleaner with less trauma. 7 years ago I modified an implanter that enable me to place grafts into much smaller slits. Smaller blades =less trauma to the skin and implanters eliminates possible forceps trauma to the bulb. This made a major improvement in growth consistency esp. when grafts are dense packed. The last few years have been spend fine tuning slit size, depth and density.

I have always cut slits in rows. I have compared random and row slits and have found rows ( in my hands) provide better coverage and density. Making rows with single blade seldom looks like rows as the rows are never straight and there are slight variations between side to side and front to back cuts which means some spots on the skin will be more damaged than others which might explain why some transplants have areas of uneven growth. If the spacing can be controlled and more evenly spaced would the growth be more consistent. I have been looking for a 3 blade handle for years to hold the thinner blades that I'm currently using. 2 years ago I managed to develop one that works. Unlike multi handles that came before where blade size and spacing is fixed my handle adjust for any sized bade and spacing allowing surgeon to choose the perfect sized blade for the graft size. I cut the rows as straight as possible to keep the front to back spacing as even as possible produce and the handle provide perfectly even spacing side to side. I almost never see bruising of the skin as I now have very accurate control of spacing which was not possible with single blade. Even spacing prevents localized stressed spots on the skin (area cut too close with single blade).  From 2 years of observation I have found growth is more consistent with 3 blade handle as compared to single blade handle. The concern that hair will look artificial has not not materialized provides that the density is kept above 35 to 40/cm2. Row effect is seen during early healing phase. 10 to 12 days post op once the crusts are washed off the rows are no longer  seen. Cutting slits below 30/cm2 best to use single handle and cut at random. 

I'm the only person at Hasson and Wong that uses the multi handle Dr. Hasson does not use it and has nothing to do with this devise. I know that there will be pushback and a lot of people can only see the negative side of this devise. Any negative feedback should be directed at me and not Hasson and Wong. This handles biggest advantage is that it does reduce skin damage and provide more consistent growth.  In 1996 when I introduced the lateral slit technique with the feedback being mostly either negative or why would you want o do that? But I knew that by controlling the hair angle the cosmetic result is far superior than any current technique. A lot of my patients are concerned when they see the row post op but once the crusts are gone it looks fine. How natural a transplant looks has more to do with angle control than anything else, if a surgeon does not understand angles and how to control it what you end up is a mess no matter what else you do. I do not imposed my techniques on anyone and if patient tells me he does not want row effect even foe a few days I will cut with single blade handle. There are pros and cons to any technique I know that with this instrument the pros far out weight the cons. 

 

Thanks for the update!

I hope you ok after the accident, sad you got a scar now on top of your head, hope it's not much visible after it's heal completely.

As @Berba11 said, you need to stop buzzing your hair and let it grow for at-least six months.

At the moment hair doesn't look great but you still have five more months so let's be hopeful.

Are you in touch with Dr.Sethi?

Best wishes!

Interesting case, you got lucky with Hair Mill. Front looks nice. 

How many grafts were implanted on crown? 

Great doctor who has build a solid reputation in our forum. 

His presentation skills are the best. 

All his results are quite natural and the fact that he is completely involved in the procedure is a big thumbs up for me. 

Your Hair Transplant looks fine. 

As rest of the members said, hair transplant is the illusion of density. 

No matter what you can not get original density via Hair transplant. 

Some pictures which you have uploaded are taken in very harsh lighting conditions which obviously exposes the Hair Transplant. 

Frankly speaking you don't need a second Hair Transplant, there is no guarantee that after second HT you will be satisfied. 

Oh Man! was waiting for your seven month update but I guess need to wait
