Thanks Melvin, Yea im praying the shock loss goes away soon. I can only where certain kind of hats because of it which sucks. I honestly don’t think any damage was done. The scar is completely gone.

Wow that’s awesome for 8 weeks

Sucks to have to wait again for it to grow. But good thing is it will.

There’s pros and cons to both the fut and fue. Some people will say fue and some fut so I suggest you do some research into it. As far as doctors in your area, if it was me hasson&wong without a doubt.

The artas is the complete Opposite of the gold standard. In my opinion, fut is the gold standard but fue is not far behind if you go to a top doctor and if your interested in going the fue route “Manual punch” Is the way to go! goodluck

1986 was the total. I’m not sure on the grafts per sq cm but he did a dense pack frontal band as he always does and going back density decreases. yea just going through this ugly duckling phase. Hoping it will be over soon lol. let me see if I can take some. idk if my shock loss is recovering or if my my hair is just covering it but it’s looking better. One side had more shock loss than the other tho.

Long hair looked good on you. That’s my plan once everything evens out. Growing it out!

Update?

Any update yolando?

Glad it worked out and hope you keep updating until it’s 100% recovered.

Yea I do, I did a lot of research into Dr. Nader and I do think he’s a good doctor. I don’t believe he had better results with fue but I think he saw the that results were similar and that almost all patients wanted fue. The main reason people have fue is because in there head they think if it doesn’t work out I’ll shave head. Which was my thought as well. Well I don’t want to shave my head ever lol. As I did more research after Nader into both fue and fut I realized that fut results from the best doctors were way more consistent than fue from those same doctors. Not saying fue doesn’t work because it does but it’s just not for everyone. I did speak with him and he was very understanding and said for me to come back that he would cover the next procedure. Which says a lot about him. Only thing was by then I had done the following research that I mentioned above ^. I didn’t want to thin out my donor anymore and I knew my hair loss could soon be worse and I wanted to put myself in the best possible situation with the most amount of grafts available. Which means going fut and then finishing fue if I need to.

Thank you guy73, I don’t blame you if my procedure went well then I would of done the same. I think going with fue and having a successful transplant has a lot to do with what kind of grafts you have and if they can handle “the move”. My grafts were not ideal for fue that’s why some grafts didn’t survive and some that did were damaged and won’t grow but have hair there. All in all I don’t think it was a waste but I’m glad I went fut this time around I feel really good about my transplant “could be wrong lol”. Important thing is we are happy. Your hair looks great man btw. You must be really happy and I’m happy for you.

Good question.

No problem. Next step is staple removal, shedding and finally growth with some maturing after that. Long road ahead lol.

Yea completely.

I scrubbed none stop lol nice and easy and slowly until nothing was left. Once I started I couldn’t stop.

A lot of things wrong with that before and after video.

Wow your crown does look like it improved a bit .

Could be a stretch but it gets the point across. Your right, but same thing could be said about your opinion. That’s why at the end of post I told him to do his own research and make a decision.

Your donor is getting depleted wether you can see it or not depends on the surgeon. like I said I’ll take a stretched scar and a lot more hair on head.

They don’t change their mind because they got bored of hair. They change their minds because the ht they received wasn’t good and they lost faith in the procedure. That is why everyone says shave your head before having a ht not after. The only reason I even quoted what you said is because your telling thegreatgasby to not get an fut because of this “barbaric scar” when you don’t even know if he’s a candidate for fue. Not everyone has the grafts for fue. With fut it doesn’t matter on the kind of grafts you have. Thats why I told thegreatgasby do some research into both procedures and make the best decision he can.

27 with that much hair loss I wouldn’t recommend fue. I was in the same situation as you as far as hair loss. I would try Finasteride and see how you do with the drug. Yea 2500 Fut looks about right to knock the frontal third out of the way. Theirs a lot of guys here with depleted donors from fue as well and that’s a lot worse than a stretched scar imho. Says no guy ever that pays thousands of dollars for hair. do research into both techniques and weight in the good and bad.

I thought it was weird, but you can get shockloss any where when you have a ht even if the work is in the front. There’s plenty of people that documented their procedure and went thru the same thing and all of them recovered 🤞. I didn’t bring it up to him because I know it’s normal (shockloss around the scar). I don’t want to constantly be emailing/text/calling him for stuff I know about. The only time I contacted him was when I scratched my head fml and before that I sent him pics when I buzzed my head after staple removal.

yea I regret buzzing my head lol. Now not only do I have shockloss under the scar but on my crown I hope everything comes back this sucks. The only thing working for me is looks like some growth is coming in.
