Considering a Third and Final HT/FUE
elicochin replied to elicochin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You are absolutely right Melvin, I clearly remember where I started this HT journey. The transformation is clear, even though it's not as significant as some of the other cases we have seen here. Bottom line, it changed a lot of things in my life, starting with not having to wear a cap/hat all the time. Overall I am very happy with the results given my limited donor supply. Thanks to you and to all the contributors on this forum for giving me the information and advice whenever I needed. One question though, what exactly you meant by coverage should be my top priority? specifically based on my current status? -JJ -
Considering a Third and Final HT/FUE
elicochin replied to elicochin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I was told after my last FUE surgery that I may have about 2000 - 2500 grafts available. I will need to reconfirm this. If this is the case, I would like to use about 1500 grafts or so and utilize another 1000 grafts or so from beard if possible. -

I was a NW6 going into my first surgery in Nov 2021. Please take a look at the attached HT blog for complete details. -

Hello Everyone, I originally asked this question as part of my 14th-Month update in my HT blog (link Below). I am seriously considering a third and possibly final HT to enhance the hairline, lateral humps and the area around the crown. My last HT was done at Eugenix and I would love to go back there for another HT if that can be worked out. I would also like to know my options for surgeons within the US considering it would be a smaller HT. As always your valuable feedback, opinion and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated. -JJ

Hello Everyone, thanks for your continued interest and queries. Here is a 14-moth update with some pictures. I have absolutely no doubt about the transformation and confidence that I gained as a result of the HT. I started planning towards a possible third and final HT to enhance the hairline (especially the middle part), lateral humps and the area around the crown. My last HT was done at Eugenix and I would love to go back there for another HT if that can be worked out. I would also like to know my options for surgeons within the US considering it would be a smaller HT. As always your valuable feedback, opinion and suggestions are welcome.

Hello Everyone, Here is an update and some pictures I took today (going on 7th month). I am excited about the transformation with occasional self doubts. While I do see lots of growth all around, I am unsure about the hairline (especially the middle part) and the lack of hair/growth on the lateral humps area. Most of the white hairs you see on the back are beard hairs; they are a bit difficult to comb down right now. I started going out without a hat or a cap these days! I am not on any type of medication. As always your valuable feedback, opinion and suggestions are welcome. -JJ

Melvin, I am definitely interested in lasercap considering you have positive results with it. This would be also an alternative remedy (in my case) since I am not on any medications. I would like to understand a bit more about how to get it through a surgeon as you mentioned. I can also PM you to keep this thread on the original topic.

Hello Everyone Not sure how to report on this. I do see growth all over, but not as much I was expecting (or imagining). I think there are lot more hairs coming out on the crown area as well as some on the frontal scalp. May be you all can provide an objective feedback on the growth so far. Attaching four-months pictures. Thank you as always. -JJ
