Hello, I am a 26 year old healthy male thinking about getting another hair transplant. I did a FUT back in 2017 (2,000 grafts) and an FUE about 16 months ago (2,000 grafts) from the same doctor in the Seattle area - also did SMP last year to help. Although I have seen some great growth, I still don’t have the desired density I am seeing from others. I am also starting to thin on my crown and want to address it outside of continuing to take finasteride. What are your thoughts on possibly getting another Transplant? I would want to do an FUE and most likely in Turkey this time for financial purposes. My biggest concerns are my donor area, the grafts I can still get without worrying about over harvesting. Appreciate any thoughts and feedback

Hi Ciaus, Thanks for the response! So the hair length you saw in the first images isn't usually the length I have my hair at. It was more so that length because I've wanted to post on here for a bit and thought it might be easier to show grafts and scarring if I grew it out for a couple weeks. I've attached some images of my hair right after I (poorly) shaved my head- which is the length I've had since getting SMP. I have been taking Finasteride for about 3-4 months now and will continue to do so. Appreciate your take on FUT/FUE as well in regards to scarring. The SMP I got has really helped conceal the scar but I have still had people call it out when in social settings, do you think another round would possibly help? Or does this go back to my light skin, etc. My frame of mind was getting one more FUE procedure to add more density onto my head so that I can truly grow out my hair knowing it will be hard to have a shorter hairstyle with the scar. If I were to grow out my hair at the moment I would lose quite a lot of density and have had to fibers to conceal which I'm not crazy about. Thanks again!

Appreciate the feedback! I've actually already gotten an SMP procedure done and was happy with the "illusion" of density that it added when i buzzed my head really short. In regards to longer hair, because I loose quite a lot of thickness I have used Caboki and other fiber/powders in the past but have found them to be a bit tedious. Maybe I am being a bit unreasonable about expectations given the current hair I have now- but would you think one more FUE procedure would be beneficial?

2,000 grafts for both procedures!

Hello All, Hope everyone is keeping healthy! I am a 24 year old male who has gotten 2 FUT procedures (one in 2017 and another in 2018) along with SMP treatment a few months ago and am looking for suggestions in regards to potential next steps as I hope to continue my hair growth procedure. As you can see in the attached photos, this is what my head looks like around 2 weeks prior to shaving my head- which I usually do now following the SMP procedure. There has been solid growth considering what my hair looked like before my first FUT procedure, but still not enough to feel "comfortable" in social settings. Another issue is that the scar is still quite visible, which I was hoping the SMP would help conceal but it hasn't provided the strongest results. At the moment I am grappling with the idea of getting an FUE procedure with the hope of adding density on the top and crown of my head along with possibly filling in my scar. I'm not positive whether this can be achieved in one sitting as I know FUE works a bit different, but at this point the biggest thing for me would be avoid any further scarring. As I am working from home for the foreseeable future I see this as a golden opportunity to get any necessary work done, but want to make sure I am doing the right thing with the right person. If anyone has any advice or tips on next steps, potential solutions, whether or not to pursue FUE and if so if they know of any good doctors in the NY area it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
