    IMO it's an ok result, the other Diep results I've seen online sort of lead me to believe that every one of his patients end up with a really dense result but I don't see that here. The donor also looks a little concerning, almost over harvested, especially on the sides, that might be because you keep your hair very short.

    Yeah, the same sentiment here.  I think it was just expecting too much after seeing others.  However, I think I have thin diameter hair compared to other asians, which makes their results look more full.  Also, I agree that the area on the right was harvested a bit heavily.

  2. 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 pictures at a 1 clip (please excuse the covid cut).

    All in all, I would give it a B-.  Would I do it again?  Probably, maybe about 1k more grafts if it was possible to increase the density.  At least it helps frame my face better now, as it would be a lot higher of a hair line if I didn't do it.  On most days if I keep it dry and don't brush it up too high, it looks decent.  I look a lot younger  after the procedure then I did before and most people don't notice or have forgotten entirely.  However, I definitely have to be thoughtful about it.  

    I did not get the results shown on the sites or Youtube, that is for sure.

    Pictures -

    • Front: normal lighting, dry
    • Front: harsh lighting,
    • Front: harsh lighting and wet.
    • Right side - definitely harvested heavily....however scarring itself is not noticeable.
    • Back - harvested heavily
    • Top

  3. 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?

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 surprising about his donor area after coming back 1.5 weeks after operation...you couldn't even tell  he had a HT.  No scarring, no redness...no holes.  It was amazing compared to my donor area....
