What would they even be looking for in that test and what would the mechanism of action be that’s causing his skin to have a low graft yield that they can tease out by doing that test?

Corners and crown need reinforcement

I thought I used to see it recommended on this forum

Yeah it has I just can only Imagine how good my hair could be if I had used all my grafts with wong

Pre op and 10 months

I’ll probably starting using rogaine foam too then. You think it’s worth also doing derma rolling?

Here justA casual car selfie. Face is definitely framed better but from sides photos the corners are see through and don’t frame right so I plan to eventually get those reinforced and then I’ll have The rest of my grafts to use/save for my crown and mid scalp pre op 10 months

Do you think you’re getting extra improvement by also using minoxidil in addition to xyon and that it is worth the extra hassle?

I also plan to probably do a bit of micropigmentation in the future to help improve the appearance of density in sunlight too

Yeah I just wanna reinforce those corners a bit and then save the rest of my grafts for my crown area which is thinning from the back

Wong said if I wanted to reinforce the corners and crown to book for 600 grafts and then decide actual amount at surgery time. But im guessing we’d do a bit more than that. I may do that November 2024, 2 years after when this surgery was performed.

I also did get grafts in the crown though too

Right I mean I wonder what the difference would be if I had been doing daily

It’s interesting cuz I’ve missed so many days of application. I need to be better about it. Literally like half the days I miss

Just sent photos to wong I’ll see what he says

Here’s more with clear lighting. honestly I want more reinforcement in those corners

10 months

My concern is the hair loss and regression from the perm solution is permanent. wong is sending me some exosomes to test out to hopefully get the hairs that fell out growing again

If you say it is nothing at all (it looks like the second photo on the right in my progress collage on an earlier page which was at 5.5 months, actually slightly worse) then you are saying there was no progress at all for me between then 5.5 months and 8.5 months, which is still a bad thing the photos in this from top to bottom are preop, 5.5 months, 6.5 months, 8.5 months. There is clear improvement from 5.5-6.5 months but then at 8.5 months you can see a clear regression in my corner at the bottom due to the perm solution which was not even worth it, didn’t last long dr wong is saying it is possible it was permanent damage but only time will talk over the next several moments. Because of this he said he is going to send me some exosome topical solution to see if it can get it growing again and then also if that doesn’t work might have me use topical minoxidil as well to simulate blood flow to get them growing again

I think that difference in scalp is quite noticeable

This was right before I got that perm solution in the top photo and the bottom photo is now about 7 weeks or so after it stopped shedding due to breakage from the perm solution. You can see I regressed because of it. I really hope the hairs come back. Te perm solution didn’t even last long. Wasn’t worth it

Any idea how long it took for him to go back to normal? Mines still not good and the hairs probably stopped shedding about a month ago wong said it takes about 6-8 months

So his bald spots weren’t permanent and went back to normal?

It was literally just in my hair for like 12 minutes

I never had issues before with breakage like this when I’ve done it in the past
