Hey,guys and gals! I think I have a some kind of genetic scalp condition that prevents my scalp from keeping the transplanted follicles. I had a successful surgery back in 2014. After a year in 2015, I could see very good results, not great, but very good. I was using Minoxidil 5% foam for the whole year after the surgery following my sureon's recomendation. Once I stopped using the foam back in 2015, my tranplanted hair began falling out slowly, but surely. Now, at the end of 2017, more than half of my transplanted hair is gone. Also, the area in the back of my head, above the scar, never regained a full sense. It still feels like it was asleep and coming out of it. I doubt that my condition is so rare, that there are no cases like that. I've seen plenty of guys with shaved heads and with the scars in the back and no hair in the front. I don't think they had botched surgeries due to the quality of the scar, but I could be wrong. It's just so frustrating to spend over 13 grand on the surgery and watching that money go down the drain. I'm gonna have to get a hair system pretty soon since the hair loss is progressive and I expect to lose the rest of my transplanted hair in the next couple of years. They say that transplanted follicles are immune to DHT. I think in my case, it's not true. DHT is killing my transplanted hair and I'm mad as hell. Again, I could be wrong, but there is something wrong with my scalp. I don't even know if my condition could've been diagnosed before the procedure. Sorry, guys, that I'm being a turd in the Christmas punch bowl, but people should be aware of my situation. Maybe there is a way to diagnose this thing.

The full refund sounds a bit too drastic. A complementary repair surgery is more like it. The density in the pictures looks excellent considering the hair type which is poor and I can relate since I have the same one. I suppose it can be thickened. HairFarmer just needs to talk to the doctor and negotiate the free ride.

It was a good call to straighten the hair line a bit because the end result is a naturally looking hair line that is not completely straight and at the same time doesn't look like the one of Count Chocula. It wouldn't take much to lower the right side. I have kind of the same situation. My right side is a tad higher than my left side, and I don't mind it since my original hair line looked like that even when I was 17.

Yeah, I hope you'll get to fix that surgeon's mistakes before too long. No hair transplant doctor is perfect. Even with my latest great one, I wish he communicated with me during the surgery a little bit better. He extracted 700 grafts more than it was planned which was ok by me since my density and the hair quality kind of sucks and he thought he wasn't gonna be able to get the planned amount in one shot. I wish I was let know about it during the procedure because my lower temples are pretty thin and need a little bit more hair so at least half of the extra grafts could've been transplanted there.

Yeah, Dr. Rahal had just one more patient besides myself who was getting only 500 grafts transplanted. Looking at the pictures of 9 months post-op though, the results look quite dense to me. Looking thin is something of a concern to me.

Hi, hairfarmer79! Sorry to hear about your experience with Dr. Wong. I had an email correspondence with Joe Tillman a while back. The reason I didn't go with Hasson & Wong is that I didn't like most of their hairline results. I think they usually go for an age appropriate hair line which is kind of a V shaped curve. I personally like a straighter shaped hair line.In my opinion, age has nothing to do with the Mickey Mouse pattern.Think Ronald Reagan or Oliver Platt. I went with Dr. Rahal. So far I'm completely satisfied!
