Hey there, recently (12 days ago) had an fue hair transplant with 1569 or so grafts.
I have been losing my hair since my early 20’s.
tried using meds but had side effects. Got off them and continued losing. I really want to some now find a way to get back to using them or alternatives.
I still have rather thick hair in the middle front to back but my temples and sides have receding back to the point I can no longer really hide it by keeping long and brushing the forelock over the temples. Doctor commented and saw how thick my hair was - always nice to hear.
However, I had shaved it all off months ago and saw just how bad it really had progressed.
My doctor had initially quoted me at around 2,000 grafts but on inspection day of surgery he changed his mind to 1500 (hair was short in pictures he had previously seen).
Doctor and team were so great and very professional and ethical in how he went about answering my concerns and questions.
i had initially wanted my temple points touched but he seemed hesitatant and said the results could look off, so he decided not to do them.
After my doctor was honest about lowering of hairlines and the risks involved, I decided a nice even in hairline and density was more important than actually lowering it. Density with good hairline over low hairline, imo.
i am now almost two weeks into recovery and almost at the ugly duckling stage. I have no picture of it yet but I just lost the remaining crusts last night and everything now looks great.
I trust my doctor - just hoping the 1500 is enough for thick density
