  1. Do you have any styling product in your hair in these recent photos?
  2. Has anyone ever felt any side effects from the anesthetic given to you during the surgery? Mainly relating to the heart? I’ve read there is correlation between this under specific circumstances. We like to highlight results on here but rarely talk about the safety behind this procedure so I’m curious about this topic if anyone has input.
  3. Another 1500-2500 would put you at 3800-4800 total just in your frontal third. That would be way too much considering your total donor capacity was said to be 5-6k. I was thinking 500 if anything for a slight boost in the hairline, but i think this result is good the way it came out. It looks really natural and undetectable. Once you get too dense in the hairline it starts to look obvious you got a hair transplant and i personally would be thrilled it doesn’t have a fake pluggy look. This will also age well. I would try living with it for a while before adding to it. Good luck!
  4. You’re gonna get a response like this across the board.. ”Don’t have surgery if you don’t want any scarring” That’s true, but i also understand your question. I think the best way is through a homogenous extraction pattern which means your extracting evenly throughout the donor without leaving a boarder. I’ve seen many cases where people have visible white dots, while others don’t have much there. With the same punch size used. Depends on your skin tone and how you heal i guess. With your example i think 5k grafts is 5k grafts. Splitting it into two sessions may not have anything to do with the visual outcome in the end.
  5. Thanks for the great write up! Congratulations on your second procedure. Since you’ve taken 5300 grafts so far, did the team mention how many grafts you have left for future surgeries?
  6. No need to panic. This stuff is just a math equation. If you decide not to take finasteride you need to figure out what your donor capacity is and then measure your recipient zone including projected future loss as you mentioned. If you have say 6000-7000 that can really get you coverage all the way back to the crown. do you know these numbers?
  7. The donor hair doesn’t thin out at the same capacity as the recipient. That’s why hair transplants are a thing. Even if you do experience it, it shouldn’t happen until later in life and it would likely be a general diffused thinning throughout. You won’t bald the same pattern the way you did pre transplant like your crown disappearing or the corners of your hairline going. So it should be a natural generalized thinning throughout which in my opinion would look natural as you get up there in age. As for the finasteride topic. A lot of those surgeons like zarev make perfect sense when they discuss taking fin or not. You look at the persons donor and take measurements of the complete safe donor area, calculate fu per sq cm. Tally the total graft reserve. Then measure the entire recipient as if you’d become a Norwood 6. With both of these measurements you can figure out what can be done whether it’s full coverage or compromising in some areas. So it’s a personal choice to take the medication. But it’s super helpful to know the numbers in the event you chose not to.
  8. By the look of your fade there It looks like a number 1 would hide the white dots you’re referring to which is still real short. As for the smp there’s a possibility you still see the perimeter of the extraction pattern paired with the pigment
  9. Very clean looking post op. It looks like you may have some shock loss of the native hair when comparing your 1 month photos to pre op. Did the doctor comment on this at all?
  10. Ideally you’d limit as much travel as possible, but as you noted there’s not a lot of good surgeons in the US, so what are your options? What would you need to see to get surgery done in Europe?
  11. It doesn’t have to be the same density behind it. A 50 fu hairline is def. More than enough. Balding doesn’t become noticeable until thinning reaches 50% of native density
  12. I think donor densities are around 80-100FU, while hairline densities are on average around 50FU. There’s been studies on hairline densities and I’m pretty sure 70 fu was the highest seen meaning @Fue3361results are at the upper limits. I don't think transplanting anymore is necessary. There's a Konior patient on reddit who had a super dense hairline procedure at 90-100fu/sq cm but they had to remove some of it. I’d personally be ok with 40-45 in the hairline. Would look good today & as you age
  13. Great result! I have two questions. This patients frontal tuft looked relatively healthy, although I’m sure there was some miniaturisation going on. Was there any shock loss to his native hair working through it like this? Second question - did he use dye his hair darker in the after photos? Pre op he appears to have more salt than pepper. thanks!
  14. His extractions look really big to me. Could be the reason why that example can’t go below a 3 guard.
