Looking at month 3 and month 4 I can deff see a difference, but it seems patchy and sparse. Will I have a low yield?

Give me them opinions guys..

Month 4 Update: I am seeing new hair sprout as I checked my scalp today, but it's only maybe 5-6 new hairs I noticed today and that's all. The only place where I see all the hair grew is in the middle part while the sides/temples the rest of it is pretty sparse and patchy. Would you guys call this a botched hair transplant, or is it too early to say at 4 months? Let me know  what you think..

Yes will post progess on here every month 👍I.just hope it was done right.and still not happy what was said they was going to do graft wise  and what I.got with the thin patch behind my hair line,they said after op it was to high risk to put grafts in but surely that should of been said to me in my consultation

Why was it too high of a rish to put grafts in?

Since you're on a tight budget, for 3000e you could get 2400 grafts with Demirsoy, if you deem that enough.

So is this an ad for hair expert clinic? Sounds like a hairmill clinic.. only costs 1700euro fixed price.

Side effects are over-exaggerated. People with prostate problems take 5mg daily with no side effects, while some idiots write about terrible side effects while taking 1mg 3x a week, which is totally not true, and even if it is, it's due to their psyche, and not the actual drug istelf. I mean the people that take it for prostate problems ingest 35mg a week while for hair loss it's recommended to take 3-7mg per week, so talking about side effects due to drug concentration in serum is preposterous. So the dosage is quite low to actually have any side effects, and in terms of hair growth, you should expect to stop losing your current hair, and maybe for it to thicken a bit where miniaturized. 

It doesn't even matter what any doctor shows on his website or youtube channel. We all know all of them always use their best results. The problem at hand is the regular individual like @Dadda whose donor area was unevenly extracted due to lack of timing or whichever reason it was, whose fue donor area he definitely will not post on his youtube channel or website. That's why we have forums like these.

Strange pattern of donor extraction imho. It may look uneven later if u wear your hair short on the back.

Looks better, do you have any smp results combined with surgery. I myself was interested in using smp, as a somewhat more permanent concealer.

After 6 months pass from my HT, I was also thinking about getting SMP, to conceal the scalp.

Mother nature is never fair. Life isn't fair. Let's not call a virus unfair. It doesn't really choose who it gets to infect. If you ask the virus, it'd probably like to infect everyone alive, animals and humans alike

Looks like you are right on target. 3 months is usually when it just starts and you will get some new hair popping up for the next several months. It takes months for it all to start growing.

 

I heard it was supposed to be a bit faster since I had PRP? Or that doesn't matter too much?

3 Months Post-OP: There is some new growth happening, albeit, it is sparse and patchy. I believe growth is not supposed to be uniform, so I am hoping the spaces between the growth will fill in with new hairs. I am not sure if my growth is too slow since I had PRP just before the procedure, and there is a bit more growth on one side than on the other, especially at the hairline. The transplanted area was completely bald before hair transplant. Thoughts for 3 months post OP with PRP? Is it too slow? What do you think?? Help would be appreciated guys.

Did anyone in High School notice? The saddest case I remember was this kid who was a sophomore, he started losing a lot of hair, he must've been a Norwood 4 by 15. By the end of high school he shaved his head and he rationalized it by saying he was a skinhead. It was really sad.

They noticed by year 4, since I had the regular teen fashionable comb-over so it wasn't really noticable up until that point. The wind blowing was quite an enemy of mine. They didn't make a big deal out of it though, so I thank them for that. My dad was fully bald at 22, so atleast I am losing my hair a bit slower than he is. 

2nd year of high school, I was 15 at the time. I always liked my hair cut short to around a 3mm buzz cut, and thats when I noticed it in the mirror. Lack of hair on my temples, going in the typical hair loss pattern shape. Didn't think of it much at the time since I liked to wear my hair short anyways, but once I switched to longer hair and hairstyles, it ruined me

Baldness comes from mother's family. Any of your uncle or grand dad bald ?

Yeah that's not true at all. All the men of my mother's family have full heads of hair even at 70, but everyone at my dad's side is bald and so am I.

I'm sure he wont lack the money to fix it.

Thank you guys for the feed back. Any recommendations for clinics?

You should have online consultations with a few and let us know what they told u. You can try Eugenix INDIA, HLC Ankara, Dr. Bruno Ferreira, Dr. Koray Erdogan, to name a few. 

Most people here will say first get on hair-loss medication to stabilize the hair loss (stop your hairs from miniaturizing) before getting a procedure.

You CAN do that, but you don't have to. I will however suggest that you try. It's not like you'll get new hairs from the medication, but you can stop what you have left from falling off.

The real questions are; what are your goals, what do you want to do, how big of a budget do you have, and are you okay with traveling to other countries?

Amazing result! Professional!

I'm working, since I work as a med tech in my capital's main hospital. Actually have more work than before the virus breakout, so.. it's not all fine and dandy for everyone

Wtf is a hex punch?

"The new device, which we use in this technique, is a special punch, called hex-punch. In this presentation the anatomy of hex-punch will be presented. The hexagonal shaft induces skin vibrations while entering the skin. The unique tip shape of this dull punch improves follicular extraction. The advantages of this technique in harvesting hair are profound: easy extraction, increased speed in collecting grafts, lower percentage of trans-sections, proper depth entry into the skin, ease of learning. Our results after using hex-punch are rate of trans-sections: 2-4% and speed of the extraction: 750-900 grafts per hour. By using hex-punch in the FUE technique we can improve results of hair transplantation."

I've got for you guys a photo of my crown and donor area just so u have an idea what it looks like. Didn't do anything on crown, just did frontal and temples. Crown seems to be thicker in the centre and much more miniaturized around the vertex. Thoughts on donor?

They are called disconnected transplanted hair
Another part of the hair will not grow because it is already completely disconnected.  The detached hair is detached internally and is not intended to grow, but will have to fall out to allow the new growth that pushes from below, generated by the transplanted bulb.  To recognize a disconnected hair, one month after the transplant, it is sufficient to evaluate its regrowth for a couple of weeks (if it remains the same in length, especially compared to the others, then it is disconnected!).  It may happen that this disconnected hair does not fall on its own (as hopefully) but remains attached to the skin for months, preventing the leakage of the new underlying hair.  In this case, when the phenomenon was recognized precisely for the characteristics described above, yes you can try to remove the disconnected hair by pulling it very gently with tweezers (almost no force is enough, because the hair is not tied to the bulb), thus facilitating the future leakage of healthy hair.  If you accidentally pull a functional hair, do not worry, the follicle is under the skin and will produce a new one.  But if you see that the hair offers tensile strength, then it is not a disconnected one and you have to leave it where it is.

Amazing answer! Thank you very much for the explanation. It makes a lot of sense. So there is still a chance of new hair growing out of these follicles. Awesome!

Well, that’s a rare phenomenon. I wouldn’t pull them out until you get cleared from your surgeon. Can you post pics? I want to bring this issue up to some surgeons, to receive clarification as to why this happenes.

Here, got one out for medical purposes xD. Won't be doing it anymore, I just want to leave them be and I suppose theyll shed or grow when they're ready. I would also like to know why this happens, is it dead grafts due to inexperienced implantation, or just follicles shocked/deeply asleep because being out of the head for so long. If they tell you why it happens, I'd like you to let me know..
