Qneedhair

Looking like Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld. You can never have too much hair on your head, unless it's ear or body hair. 😝

Results are really good. If the over-harvested areas bother you too much why not have some body hair grafted to the thin areas? Looks like you have an ample beard or even using body hair have been successful in scar areas but make sure you know a Dr that specializes in body to scalp hair transplants. Just a thought.

I just purchased this dermastamp and I find this much better than the roller type. The roller type tends to snag on the hairs and can be a bit uncomfortable. I haven't used my derma roller very much for this reason. The stamp is much easier to use and no snag noted. The electrical derma stamp might be a something I might consider but for now this seems to do the trick. How often do you microneedle? Seems like you have been getting some growth in the crown. If it gets better no need for another HT right? Have you ever tried topical finasteride? I'm considering it but not sure if it will become more systemic if I use it along with microneedling.

The gift that keeps on giving! Are you planning to get a touch up for the crown? I hear guys saying fin will do well in this area but the thought of side effects scares me a bit. Just when you thought the growing was over and then new growth keeps popping out. Amazing results even if the crown isn't quite perfect. I haven't had a hair transplant yet but I was going to have my crown filled in a couple years back but cancelled the appointment a month out. I have a good head of hair, just a thin crown that concealer takes care of for the time being. My crown isn't progressing but isn't gaining any ground either so I might have to get it done in the future. Minoxidil w/carrier lotion, microneedling and Nizoral has kept hair loss at bay but no new growth.

Dr. Erdogan @ ASMED should use your before/after pics to post on his website to show off his work, unless he already has? I wish all transplant procedures could have your outcome but sometimes overharvesting, scarring or slow or minimal growth happens to people and their results are dissapointing. Going to Turkey might be the only turn-off if I ever decided to go and have it done. Was it cost or Dr. reputation or both that helped you to decide on this particular clinic? Congratulations on your HT journey, well wishes to you and enjoy your new hair!

Interesting that you went with the fade on the sides and back. Are the donor area scars noticeable? I was told that even though an FUE claim is "less scarring" do you find this to be true in your opinion? Are you plannng to address the mid scalp and crown or are you satisfied? If you plan on doing it, did the Dr say how many grafts it would take? Sorry for all the questions, sometimes I spot people that have FUE and FUT scars because they choose to cut very low in the donor area. I'm wondering how low can you go without anyone noticing?

A face down pillow might do the trick?

Looks really good, how does friends and loved ones react to your before and after results? Have you influenced anyone that knows you to also have this procedure done? Do you wish you would have done this sooner?

Going gray is better than hair going away, wouldn't you say? I wouldn't worry about going gray, its hair!!! is your hair hard to style without the hairdryer? If it is, I think a cool setting would be ideal but air drying isn't an option?

I have seen a donor area severely depleted and thinned out by an FUE procedure and the dot scars are noticable when hair is cut short. I have also seen a good FUT with a faint scar that was repaired and filled in with FUE of body hair and scalp hair. Even though FUT is an antiquated procedure, I think it can be repaired with better success if needed than a botched FUE dot scars. I think with an FUT you get a better yield as oppossed to FUE correct? A good trycophytic closure seems to help with the scar to be less noticable.

5000 grafts and it didn't look like it depleted your donor area. Must be nice when you get a haircut and say"a little off the top please". Very good result. I'm happy for you!

If you have good density and if the doctor harvests in a pattern that doesn't severely thin the donor area than FUE is the way to go. If you do go the FUT route just go to a doctor that does a trycophytic closure as this lessens the look of the linear scar. Even if you do have a scar, it can be filled later with FUE, SMP or use facial or body hair to make it less noticable. So many options.

Question about the pimples forming as a result of the new hairs pushing through the skin. Would it be okay to use something like retin-A to not only treat the pimple like lesions but to thin the skin in the recpient area so the hairs can "push" through easier? Just a thought.

How low of a hairline were you thinking of? Widows peak maybe? I'm sorry but you look good to me, what kind of hairloss have you been experiencing? Thinning, recession of your hairline?

Looks really good, do you plan to do anything with the crown? Does having gray hair help with the disguise of the scar you speak of? Seems like dark haired individuals tend to be more noticeable IMO. The suture was a trychophytic closure right?
