Unless you have signed a gagging order, you should advise others, if you think this is a bad result for you.

Paleo, I've looked at your pictures and think you're going to be ok. Wait until everything starts growing out. if the hairline fills in, you'll have a good framing of the face and can keep the hair shorter at the sides. I think psychologically, you're putting yourself into a bad place fixating on this. Try to relax and see how things develop.

I think your hairline looks fine. I think the problem might be, you're going to have to adjust to seeing yourself in the mirror and having a hairline. I would give it some time, while you're in a transitional period, getting used to your new look.

That's a 10/10 result Matt. Hairline is just perfect in terms of proportion to face. Great call by the surgeon. Need a big stick to beat the chicks off now. :D:D

IMO you didn't need any work done, but the bottom line is you're pleased with the result. For your late 30's, you have a very luxurious head of hair.:cool:

Thanks for the kind replies. I'm waiting to hear back from Clemens, who is going to show Dr D the recent pics. Worst case scenario, I fly out and end up with a few days trip in Istanbul. Having seen norwood 5/6 cases on here, with not great donor area get good results, I hope I can at least get a good hairline put in to frame the face and lose the Bruce Willis look. I don't really have a lot of body hair either, apart from my legs. I'm not really a very hairy person, so i'm open for any suggestions. I hope I am being realistic, in that I don't want a very low hairline and will probably opt for a slightly receded look, that will fit in with my age. The point of the hairline is 7cm to my brows and I don't think it would look right lowering this.

Thanks... :D I think good genetics, working out and moisturising has helped. I definitely don't think a very low hairline would look right on me. I'm sort of used to the high forehead, which I think is more aesthetically appropriate in middle age. I've sent Clemens Weber some more pics for Dr Demirsoy to look at. He seems a very ethical, professional surgeon and that's why, after researching this endlessly, I opted for him.

Thanks for the reply. I'm 46 and my hair has just receded slowly and seems to have stabilised. I'm concerned about a "moth eaten" appearance with the grafting and to me, it does seem that my hairs are spaced per cm in the donor area. I'm not planning to lower the front point of the hairline, just enhance the front and have an age appropriate hairline, that doesn't look as receded as it does now. Subtle, and not over aggressive. I'm booked with Dr Demirsoy for January 16 and have e mailed some more pics to his rep Clemens. As this is my first procedure, I want to make sure it's going to go right and i'm not going to turn up and be told it's not possible to proceed. There's also a fair bit of grey hair at the back, which may look lighter in the pics.

Welcome back buzz. Hows the hair?

I use both. DR is less drying and could be used every day. Nizoral best, 2-3 times a week max. imo.

I did a few online consultations, with pictures. Real difference in fue quotes, Erdogan, 4800!! Saifi, 2000, Demirsoy, 3000-3500. This is my first HT, so i'm looking at some advice.

OMG.:eek::eek: That's terrible. I really hope you can get a decent repair done on that. Drs like that should be struck off.

I wish I had your pre op hairline . lol. You have great features for a buzz cut.:cool::cool:

Im booked with Dr Demirsoy in January. I'm just concerned regarding my donor density. My individual hairs are quite thick, but to me, the density per cm2 seems low to me. I don't want to arrive there and be told I can't proceed, if there is less hair than my online consultation pics show. He recommended 3000-3500 grafts to restore the hairline and some crown. Also concerned about the donor being over harvested. Opinions would be appreciated. Apologies for the pic quality. Hair at the back is roughly 3/4 guard length.

I cant see his team/managers being keen on him going on fin.

Looking good. Glad the redness has gone. That's my big worry come January when I see Demirsoy.:eek:

Is the ideal aesthetic for the hairline, the equivalent distance from the brows to the point of the hairline, as the point of the nose to the chin?

Should the front point of the hairline to eyebrows, be the same distance as the point of the nose to the chin? Is this the ideal aesthetically?

Your hairline looks perfect. Any lower would not look right imo.

Any updates?

Rooneys is starting to look like a comb over. Albeit, with better framing of his face than pre transplant. I doubt the team/management would be wanting him on finasteride, in case he loses his edge on the pitch.

Currently, yes. Hoping Dr Demirsoy is going to give my barber more to cut come next year.:cool:

Dr Saifi in Poland. To be honest, i'd go for the shave. it will grow back quickly and evenly. Seen a few fue, partial shave jobs, where only the donor is shaved and you end up with a haircut that looks like something from fraggle rock.

3 inches from point of hairline to mid brows. That's been since my hairloss started. 4 inches from brow to receded temple points. I wouldn't lower my frontal point for my HT.

Looking great.:cool:
