Hi Everyone, Sorry for the delay in posting as I know some people rely on these updates for decision making (like I did). At first it was just slight disappointment that caused the lag and put me off to posting, then things just got crazy in the world recently. Again, apologize for the lack of updates. At this point, I believe I am 18 months in... The front is a lot more thin than I expected...I have to put some thought into it. However, when it is dry and a bit longer it looks ok. When it is wet you can definitely see through it. As illustrated below. I've also included some

SMP By HIS HAIR London after 3 years
Jiveturkey82 replied to Bustamove's topic in Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Wow man, so happy for you. I opened this thinking your first post looked terrible. Glad you persevered and did not give up. I am a bit concerned that my FUE isnt dense enough on my hairline. I still plan to have my hair decently long...will SMP to fill in the density help even if I have most of my hair longer or will it look obvious/ weird? -

2663 - FUE - Dr Lupanzula - May 14th 2019
Jiveturkey82 replied to ahmeda87's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Any pictures from the front (instead of top down) so we can see the hairline better? -
6.25 months at this point, I think it is getting a little better day by day, but would not be happy at all if it stops here as it is still thin and frankly looks obvious. A few pictures from slight distance under dimmer lighting and a couple up close with harsh lighting. I don't comb it like this right now...I usually just leave product out and let it fall down to cover at the moment.

Dr Diep experiences
Jiveturkey82 replied to follically challenged's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
My donor area is a bit thin, but at a 2 guard cannot see the scarring. I am about 5.5 months post-op. Like you, I have fine hair, especially for an Asian person (normally thick), so am curious what my results will be at the 7-8 month mark. -
Sick results so far man! I wish I was as fast of a grower as you. Hopefully mine catches up in time. Congrats on the progress so far though, pumped for you.

Sorry all - not much was going on at month 4, which was discouraging, however I should have still taken some photos for others to reference. Here it is at a little over 5 1/2 months. Still not super thrilled and getting concerned about the density. I still have to cover it and can't brush it normally because you can still definitely tell something has been done. Harvested area looks kind of thin, but definitely not super obvious at this point.

Month 2 update - most of the hair has shed. A bit concerned at this point as not a lot of stubble/regrowth has happened. Also, not sure if this a coincidence or not, but I suddenly have a lot of gray hairs....comparing my pre-op pictures on page to now...it is a significance difference. Donor area also does not look good. I actually inspired one of my coworkers to go get a HT. He said he had been looking for awhile and after I did it...seeing how people didn't really think it was a big deal nudged him to just do it. He actually just went to a local HT doctor, Ken Williams. What was

Wow your donor is looking insane! Mine looks way worse. Maybe it is an age thing. You younger folks heal faster.

Wow, doesn't seem like there is any shed so far. I wouldn't shave it to even out just yet though, I saw some guy who thought he was safe from the shed shave it...then it shed right after. I started going back to the gym at 3 weeks.
