    No - a lot of good surgeons do this, in order to preserve as much of the donor region as possible to remain 'virgin'. Patients have to present themselves to be acceptable candidates for this strategy - usually when they have good density in their donor areas, higher end hair characteristics such as texture and coarseness, and are having 2000 or below grafts extracted.

    What did you look like in 2010 before you had any procedures? You're coming across as pretty erratic - another small procedure would bring you up to a standard I presume you want to be at.

    I've not read through the whole thread, but came across this post - and the comparison between these two pics, looks night and day . . great hair calibre at play here on the patients behalf, which has helped a modest number of grafts in this case, go a long way! One critique I would highlight - is that the hairline could be softened. Nothing a few hundred singles wouldn't sort out in a skilled surgeons hands.

    Looks very clean work - will look forward to following how you get on. Just to clarify - was it 3000 grafts day one, 500 day two?
  5. Curious25
    Yep, you're going to be in for a treat. You'll be excited to wake up each day and inspect your progress from now on - from personal experience, its a pretty magical time!

    By the sounds of it, he's pretty well read up on hair loss - I imagine he's gone through his own personal risk v reward analysis hundreds of time in his head, so this is a pretty unhelpful input if you have read through his original post.

    1) Considering what you have told us with regards to your father and brother, you are doing very well. Either minoxidil is doing wonders for you, or you aren't genetically as predisposed to MPB as your father and brother - I would probably steer more towards this answer, as opposed to crediting it all on minoxidil, as you haven't been addressing the route course. 2) I would follow the outline of your hairline that you still have, and assuming you have characteristics similar to other asian patients, I would roughly guess that between 2000-3000 would sit you well, depending how far into your native hair the surgeon chooses to go. 3) Very hard to tell from your pictures - you really need a microscopic examination for the answer to this, however, visually it looks ok. It'll be interesting to see how you get on with some in person consultations, if you are able to get them booked in!

    Perfect

    I enjoy reading your posts on the forum, you always put in a considerable amount of thought into what you write, and I think you comprehend the topic of hair loss better than a lot of ‘professionals’ in the industry.

    Good honest post, and I’m glad you’re now on the mend!
  11. Curious25
    Totally agree. However I equally understand, that for some, hair > sexual health.

    Really can’t wait to see how this looks at 6 months

    Amazing man

    Your hair looks good to me for a 40 year old. If you are able to tolerate and stick sign your oral min and finasteride, then you should be pretty well set up 👍🏻

    I have to reiterate the concern that has already been expressed, as to what happened to the 2200 grafts over the last 13 years - there doesn't seem to be a very high survival rate at all, going off your current pics.

    You also provide a good example as to the benefits of greying in later life for Caucasian Males - really helps with the scalp/hair contrast. IMO grey hair and dark brows is a very aesthetic look for men 40+

    Looks great, and your donor looks incredible after 8k grafts. What was Farjo’s reasoning for turning you away, what were his comments about your donor? It just goes to show how important second and third opinions are in this industry, because for your donor to look like that after 8k grafts, one would expected you to have been like one of the hedgehog patients we see from the likes of Zarev and Lorenzo!

    Is that your current hairline now ? Or before surgery? Or before onset of hair loss?

    It’s large in size, but population wise they are less than half than us in the UK.

    If you’ve never left your country before, and it’s somewhat of a daunting prospect for you . . from a psychological standpoint I’d probably advise you to stick to hasson and wong in Canada over Eugenix, as India, as fantastic and beautiful a country it is, can be quite the culture shock for even the most seasoned of western travellers. Your hair situation will be an easy fix in the right surgeons hands, and if there are multi’s in your immediate hairline, they can be punched out and re-implanted further behind, if the Dr is unable to soften your hairline just by placing singles around them. You shouldn’t have been taken on for surgery in the first place IMO, too young and too minor a hair loss.

    A combo of maxing out his donor to its full potential, utilising beard grafts, and some SMP - he could potentially get quite a nice result giving an illusion of full enough coverage, and he could keep a shortly cropped hair cut. Scalp/Hair contrast is good, beard looks pretty good, and hair calibre looks ok as well - just there unfortunately isn't a whole lot of it. Eugenix.
  22. Curious25
    You look great! Lovely head of hair
  23. Curious25
    You could quite easily bolster your frontal third area where you have experienced further loss - how many life time grafts did Diep say you had back in 2014? SMP would also be a great option for you, I feel.
  24. Curious25
    Consult only with afro hair specialists for your own sake please - you are a complex case. I'd be tempted to recommend the SMP route for you, however - SMP combined with FUE may be an option in the right surgeons hands. Bisanga and Mwamba.

    -You look to be a diffuse NW6 with relatively high sides -If you accept the reduction in density, there is no reason why a surgeon couldn't restore you with a NW 1 hairline, and homogeneously place your grafts around the recipient zones in as an aesthetically pleasing way as possible -No one will know until you try it out for yourself -From your pictures - you present a classic NW6 pattern of loss at current. How old are you ?
