Also have a feeling spending 500-800 grafts will not make a big difference long term, if I go NW7 I would have problems already now luckily I have plenty of chest hair that could be used in the worst case scenario I guess it comes down to if I really want to do it, but I have been thinking about it for over two years so I guess I want it -

I always like the youthfulness of a straight hairline - for example like Brad Pitt’s - think his is straighter than mine -

Thanks - I like honest feedback - here is a picture from another angle - I guess it doesn’t change your view ? -
Hi I did a hairline FUE soon 3 years ago (1850 grafts) which I am very happy with. Now I am considering adding another 500 to 1000 to make the hairline even straighter ? Which surgeon would you recommend for this? Attaching photos of my current state cut to 10mm (on top) and 8mm (donor). Thanks in advance for your advice

rcfue replied to rcfue's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
He works alone and does everything himself and therefore it takes time. The procedure with me was roughly split into four 6 hour sessions over a 48 hour time window, with long breaks between, where 25% of the grafts where extracted and directly implanted per session. Not sure about the punch size, but all manual punches. All felt very dedicated and professional. -

Yes, started about one year before the surgery -
I did a FUE with him. Very happy. He does everything himself, no help at all so the procedure takes a while and waiting time long, but I would say worth it. Here is my result:

Hi all Here is my 12 months result from my FUE in the hairline by Dr. Lars Heitmann in Zürich, Switzerland. In general, I am very happy both him as a surgeon, the procedure and the result. In my view the result look very natural and density is good. Curious to hear what you think. Before the surgery I was estimated to be somewhere between Norwood 2 and Norwood 3 with hair loss mainly in the hairline, crown still intact. I did the surgery in my early 40s. Graft breakdown: 265 singles 778 doubles 807 triples Total: 1850 grafts, 4245 hairs Now to the pictures. After 3 months all transplanted grafts had shed. I noticed the fastest growth month 4, 5 and 6. From month 7 to 12 slow and gradual improvements. I have been constantly growing my hair longer as I want to try a longer hairstyle now when the hairline looks decent. Before surgery Hairline design Directly After surgery Two weeks post surgery 3 months status 6 months status Dry/non styled Styled - 3 different light conditions 8 months status - Wet/Dry/Styled 12 months status - wet from 3 angles/dry/styled

Nicotine chewing gum after hair transplant ?
rcfue replied to rcfue's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
So far its just theory from my side. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor which in theory would mean worse blood supply to the grafts, which in theory could impair healing and growth.
