Hi All
Hope you’re all staying safe.
I had 1000 grafts in mid 2018 with Dr Farjo FUE. It’s been almost two years.The idea was to bring forward the hairline. Not exactly the result I had in mind but I’m aware that there are risks with any procedure and even with great doctors nothing is guaranteed. Been thinking about what went wrong and next steps and whether to have a second to beef up and straighten OR just to leave it. I’m close to signing up for a second transplant and just wanted to hear your thoughts.
See pics for immediate post op and now in a range of lighting (low/harsh/natural).

Intro
I’ve done some research and I want to be corrected if I’m wrong. If I can be, I will have the confidence needed to consult with ASMED.
About me
Late 20s
Norwood 3V (minor loss at crown)
Finesteride and Minoxidil - hair loss stable.
Goals
Restore hairline and temple points and minimal loss at crown.
Thoughts
ASMED
ASMED get decent results but it’s roulette in terms of which tech team you get.
Donor management isn’t the best - they use more grafts than other clinics to achieve the density illusion. I’ve also seen more aggressive hairlines on younger patients than more conservative clinics. I worry that if the meds stop working down the road, I could be left with limited grafts and an unatural look.
FUE
I have three crowns so having super short hair for me has never worked. Therefore I’m not worried about FUT.
I also think FUE isn’t great when you’re younger because of how loss can resume: you can get more grafts out of FUT in the long run and it doesn’t destroy nearby follicular units like FUE.
FUE is blind. FUT has better survival rates.
Conclusion
I am actively considering ASMED but the above consist of my reservations. Therefore, I’m also thinking FUT with Hasson Wong.

I have one or two other clinics in mind if I was to get a second one done. I’m just weighing up the risks and rewards.
