Very strong work. It is a very horizontal design though, though this may be more natural depending on your ethnicity.

Did you intentionally ask them to blunt your temple points?

nope, i let dr hasson design it.  the only thing i did tweek was the height of it, i requested it abit lower than he originally had it

hey a little update

so i went into the office in april and got some steroid shots to clear up the alopecia, its now july and most of it is gone.  it may take abit time for all of it to fully clear up but i would say it was a success!  (p.s. ignore the one big spot  i have in the back of my head, ive had that since i was a kid and it has nothing to do with alopecia.)

updated of my hair at 11 months

went into the clinic today for some shots from dr. hasson to treat the affected areas, everything went smooth. will check back with them in 4 weeks! just time to wait now. thanks for reaching out and taking care of me hasson and wong

I've sent them an email, we'll see what happens. Probably gonna just get smp

Update. Cut my hair short and noticed the scars, not cool! Pretty visible, gonna have to get SMP to cover it up

i was told by a surgeon i consulted with that there is no such thing as preventative hair surgery. i'm interested in the final result

How so? By filling in existing thinning areas, once and if those areas thin out completely, there will be transplanted hair left over 

Here man I took alot of photos from different angles. Took photos of my native hair density as well so you can compare. 

Front hair is still noticeablely shorter than the rest of my hair. When I got surgery doctor said my grafts are on the thicker  side so that helps with density

Hey here is an update on Jan 30th. Growing in nicely excited to see how much more growth I'll get in the next following months 

here are update pics, 11 weeks post op.  getting thicker by the day, exciting!

Gonna look great when it matures but 3200 grafts seems quite a lot.  I would have thought 2000 would have done the job.

 

good luck 

yeah looking back now, at first glance it looks like he couldve got away with 2000ish.  if you look deeper, he lowered both my widows peaks by 3cm, filled in the existing thinning middle front area and implanted some hairs into my existing hairline to combat any future hair loss that i may have. pretty dense as well, i guess thats why he needed 3200.  seems like alot of grafts to use in the front hairline but he felt it was ok as he didnt see any miniturization up top or in my crown.  also theres no hairloss/balding in my family, only my dad who has a high receded stabilized hairline(same as mine).  it was a calculated transplant, dr hasson has good rep so i put my hair in his hands.

FUE 3200 GRAFTS done on august 20th, 2018 by dr hasson.

invest in some toppik, life saving stuff

i know diep is really good with asian hair... any other docs to look for? how is doganay? i cant seem to find any asian patients on his gallery

why make it a matter? unless she asks about it, i wouldnt mention it

probably a blood test to see if your deficient in anything, but what densedream said. hairloss can be slow then all of a sudden you lose like hell or you could lose like hell then it stops. nobody really knows. best bet is to look at your parents and grandparents to see where you are destined to be

i really doubt but im no doctor. Flurbiprofen 8.75mg is a REALLY REALLY tiny dose... doubt it had much effect on your blood

diep is the best with hairlines, check him out

were you a norwood3? did your hairloss stop? based on your family tree, which norwood level do you expect to reach to? how long did you have to wait after booking to do the procedure? are you in the US? sorry for all the questions... im kinda in the same boat as you and planning to go with dr diep as well

wow.. im actually in the same boat as you. 23 now with a nw2, started noticing hairloss 2 years ago. did steroids last year along side fin, didnt notice anymore loss than i was progressively having. dad is only a nw3, so in theory i should stabilize soon.. do you have any pics?

if you want to cover up thinning areas, you could try concealers like toppik. works pretty well

how much did it cost?

when did u decide to book with dr bhatti? how long was the wait?

fue would be better for your case. fut is cheaper though

been talking to erdogan as well... just need to pull the trigger now.

how many grafts in your operation and how soon did you get a date?
