I always ask people who did this strategy - was it your idea or the doctor's? Did you discuss the difference between the 2 strategies?
If you can afford it I'd go and get the 2nd surgery within 12-18 months since I think you are going to not love the lack of density when this grows out. If you had focused just on the front half I think you could have gotten away with waiting for a few years for your 2nd surgery if you preferred.
As to your questions really you should ask the doctor what graft availability you had as he was right there. You should be able to get 4-5K wih FUE overall I'd think but nothing beats a doctor looking at your head. You need to check for miniaturization to make sure you are not pulling for any areas that are at risk.
When people shave the donor so close like this it is difficult to evaluate it from photos. Cropped hair always looks more thin than grown out hair style.
My honest opinion is you have generally limited hair supply so you probably wanted to do a strip surgery as long as you didnt want to wear your hair short rest of life as I think you would have gotten more grafts in total. Now you have a finite area you can pull from and you can only pull 1 out of every 3/4 grafts in that finite area without risking showing thinning. With strip you could have taken 100% of those grafts from the prime donor area and in your case you need every single valuable one.
>>>Well, Honestly I just leaved it up to Esteworld Turkey. I am definitely up for a second surgery as soon as my donor area recovers. They also recommended a ACELL+PRP treatment at the time of FUE surgery last november, and I OKed it. So I wonder if Acell will create a miracle in the donor area?
Thanks a lot.
