  1. You've had a great result for the front! The crown should continue to improve with fin so give it time. I wouldn't recommend lowering the hairline, especially at your age now starting your 30's it's perfectly normal to have a mature hairline. If you do opt for a second HT it should be to increase density in the existing transplant areas and around the crown but I wouldn't think of another HT so soon because you've had a nice result - enjoy what you have for a few years first and if it still bothers you later on in like 3-4 years then start thinking about it! If I was you I wouldn't even worry about my hair anymore, just keep taking your meds go enjoy your life my friend!
  2. Have you looked into Dr Konior at Chicago? I don't know his prices but he will be expensive. He has a colleague who might be a bit cheaper, Dr Nadimi, I would look into her and get a price as she is basically taught by Konior who IMO is top 3 doctor's for HT.
  3. You are still at the early growth stage so try not to worry. From months 4, 5, 6 there is usually big change month to month. Typically by 8-9 months you should have idea of your final result so just be patient and wait and see. No one can say anything because I have seen cases like yours where the hair grows out and it's a great result, others it doesn't improve much and it's a bad job. You just have to wait and see and hope for the best.
  4. +1 to this. Grow the beard out and go to a good barber get it faded into your sideburns and do a number 2 on top with 0 sides faded taper.
  5. A lot of people experience shedding at various stages whilst taking Fin and Minox in the first 12-18 months. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with switching your diet. I have looked at your original pictures and obviously there is improvement. Even if you think density isn’t there the framing to your face looks much better. In terms of density, the Dr needs to check if grafts survived and address that for you. The video does make it look thin but you might need to change your hairstyle and keep it shorter than it currently is. Also they were some comments earlier that 3000 grafts might not be enough - maybe it’s simply the case and you need a second op to achieve the desired density considering the characteristics of your hair are on the thin/light side.
  6. All the best dude - the work looks really clean. Were you happy with Dr Erdogan's explanation? Also are you going to start taking Fin again? I would recommend doing so, even on a small dose (1mg two/three times a week) if you got sides last time.
  7. If Konior is out of your budget than try his colleague Dr Nadimi. She was taught by Konior and might be cheaper and she's had some really great results which you can see on her instagram
  8. Back to the original question... For the hairline, the best in Turkey is most likely Keser from the results I have seen. I just wish they were more cases, not enough are posted on this and other forums. The fact is he does everything himself, that is a big big plus. ASMED or HLC - it depends on you. Do you want to put trust in Dr Koray and his technique, they are probably the most popular clinic in the world doing 4-5 patients a day. State of the art clinic, and countless testimonials. He's had a bit of a bad rep lately, but just think how many people post results from there compared to others. There's probably like 30 Keser cases I can find online but hundreds from Asmed. With HLC the doctors perform the entire operation, so you have that piece of mind. Who the doctors are and how long they've performed FUE, you will have to investigate that yourself.
  9. Sadly it doesn’t appear to be success. What has the clinic said? Also why do you not want to mention their name? your pre-op pic makes your hair look better than I think it is. The lighting isn’t good for a comparison also it looks like you combed your hair from sides into middle to make it look better - but I could be wrong, another clearer picture would help. Im also not a fan of the graft placement throughout the scalp. It appears so spaced out.
  10. My dad had a HT in Lahore with Dr Ahmed at Cosmoder clinic 6 years ago. He had a really good result.
  11. From my experience I would recommend anyone doing a HT to start fin, even if it's 1mg a week. Studies show 0.2mg, 0.05mg and 1.0mg reduce DHT by a similar amount so start with very low dose. Even as little as 0.25mg twice a week. I think even if you take this small dosage over time you will see benefits compared to not doing anything. I was scared using fin originally because of all the horror stories. But I am convinced even if I took 1mg a week over the last 4 years my hair would have been better now than it is and I don't think I would have suffered any side effects on such a low dose. I am now doing 0.5mg twice a week, my plan is to stick with this for a few months and if ok I will use 0.5mg three times a week. I will not be taking more than that as I don't believe it's needed.
  12. I wouldn't worry about it. Some of the top doctors are able to get great coverage using less number of grafts than what you might see from other clinics. Look at Dr Konior for example of how he achieves great coverage with much less grafts compared to others. I think 1700 looks very good for that area. Also it's better for you in the long run, look after your donor area. The work looks clean, so no need to stress.
  13. This is a silly question I know.... but I’m after serious answers not further questions about why I am asking this question... Say you are 10 days post-op and grafts are newly inserted and the hair hasn’t fallen out yet. you’ve been given a curved / vshape hairline and not really liking it at all. Before you had a straight hairline and want to make it straight again, can you just pull out some of the grafts at the bottom of the V-shape with a tweezer and make it straighter yourself? Like it will be literally tweezing about 15-20 single hair grafts at the bottom of the V-shape just to make the hairline look more straight and rounded rather than looking like a Dracula hairline. Will this cause any scarring? If yes, can grafts be removed in future from that area in future (remembering that it’s only about say 20 single hair grafts) without leaving any scarring if done by a surgeon?
  14. Do not just look at the number of grafts the clinic is offering. Some of the great doctors can achieve the same look using 1500 grafts than other clinics who mainly use techs will achieve using 2000-2500 grafts.
  15. Diep does great hairlines so for the number of grafts in a small area you should have a great result. However, I do agree with the other comments - don't think you needed a HT right now. Your hairline may have slightly receded from your youthful teenage days but nothing to get worried about. You will most likely need to use fin for the rest of your life because if your original hairline continues to recede then you will need another operation in 4-5 years time. Good luck.
