  1. I had a previous failed FUT procedure with a large scar so I wanted Dr Diep to remove that old scar and redo it. The scar is a lot better now I can cut my hair down to a 3 guard.
  2. Thanks I took a look at your thread and hopefully not only do you get more growth but it also thickens up for you. At 6 months you could possibly still see 50% more growth.
  3. Yes. Here is a picture of my results 1 Year after my failed surgery. I had very little growth and a lot of what appeared to be holes/pitting in my scalp because the grafts were placed too deep. This is actually the results after two (2) failed surgeries by the same doctor. My third and final procedure was with Dr. Diep.
  4. You could just be a slower grower. Everyone is different. Did you go to Diep?
  5. At 5 months I think I was close to 60% . But you have to remember that it will still thicken too.
  6. 17 months post op w/ Dr. Diep. I do not wish to do another procedure. It does thicken up even after the 12 month mark.
  7. I kept seeing growth until about 8 months and after it started to thicken up. I’m at 17 months post op and I feel like it got alttle thicker in the last couple months. I no longer feel like I need another procedure. Unless of course I’m under really harsh bright LED light but that’s not very often.
  8. Yes Dr. Diep does knock you out with the cocktail of pills you take before surgery. No that is not typical of most clinics but thank god he does! My first procedure with another doctor I was wide awake and it was very painful, uncomfortable, and felt like I was there forever. For FUT, once you’re knocked out he cuts out the strip and hands it off to techs for dissection. He then stitches you up and makes the sites for the techs to place the grafts in. That’s about all he really has to do for FUT... He was probably in the next room working on his FUE patient. He only does one FUE max per day and one FUT. The FUT patient doesn’t need his undivided attention like the FUE patient does.
  9. Great final results with Dr. Diep. I thought about another procedure for more density but definitely not required so I will keep it like this. 12 month post op video-
  10. I needed to repair the mess I had from two previous failed surgeries. If my first two surgeries would have looked like this one then I would have been very happy. I think you will be happy with the results but you might end up wanting another transplant later on (most people want more density). I do think I look better than before. If you can accept your hairline then that’s the cheapest and best option. otherwise prepare to be invested for the long haul. Diep is great but maybe there are other doctors just as good and not as expensive? Maybe not.
  11. 8 months post op from repair surgery with Dr. Diep. Maybe I’ll have some more growth in the next 4 months. I read somewhere that you can still expect 20-25% more growth at this mark, not sure if that applies to fast growers? I am pleased with the results from Dr. Diep yet I still think about having FUE to add density to my hair line and into my fut scar. Might go with Dr. Nader in Mexico. Opinions?
  12. I definitely look much better than where I started and I only hope to get more growth. IF there is isnt more growth to come then there are areas that were either not densely packed enough or did not grow. Hopefully things will get better but if they didn’t I might get FUE to do a touch up and so that I can fill in my scar and add density. I’d probably try a different FUE pro unless Diep gave me another good deal. In some lighting it looks very good. Overall Dr. Diep and his team did a nice job!
  13. Hey guys I’m at 6 months post op, things look great depending on the lighting! I expect to get 40-50% more density, if that happens then yes I would recommend Dr Diep
