Yes, I'm definitely satisfied with the result so far. I'm around month 10 now. The front is gradually looking better and better and the hairline is nicer than what I had at age 20 (picture below).
I met with both a doctor and a nurse right before the surgery. I only mentioned my temples so that could be the reason they only focused on that or maybe the top wasn't a concern at that time, hence my post here. I will meet the doctor again at the one year mark so I'll ask him a lot of questions. Even though he could've used a bit more grafts I'm glad that he didn't for two reasons: 1. As you say I want options down the road 2. I'd like to have it really short in the back so I want as little scarring as possible.
Here's what my donor looks like now. A 0 mm fade and outdoor work made some scars show at the bottom. They can probably be hidden though by choosing 1 mm or doing the fade 2 cm lower.
I'm a little wary of medications in general and also of life long extra costs. I also don't want to start off too strong and have to live with any side effects. Are there any shampoos that actually work?
