This makes sense. I will definitely hold off on the SMP and talk to Dr. Feriduni first.

Not yet, I wanted to wait for an entire year post second surgery and see how SMP looks regarding the donor. I will not do another fut, that was not a pleasant experience.

This looks like a textbook great Dr. Laorwong result so far! How has the progress been since you last update in January?

I don’t remember the exact breakdown but I think first surgery was around 3700 in the front and mid (all taken from my scalp donor area) and second surgery was around 2850 in the crown (800 coming from my chest and beard) and 300 in my temples.

I am very pleased. I got a haircut a couple weeks ago, it was fun having options. I decided to continue styling my hair to the side. I also decided that I am going to get SMP later this year to add some density in my donor area. You can see from the pics that after nearly 7000 grafts, it is looking depleted. I am hoping SMP will add an illusion of density. I am happy with the density of my hairline but I am considering going back to Feriduni and adding more chest/beard hairs the the crown and mid. The attached pictures were taken today after work, there is a little bit of product in my hair (Northern Lights Shear Revival which I really like!).

Thanks! I was very happy Dr. Feriduni took me as a patient despite my tough case. I haven’t really posted my donor. I think it looks alright despite the amount of grafts extracted. However I am thinking of maybe doing SMP. I will post some pictures tomorrow and ask you for your thoughts.

I am near the 8 month mark for surgery #2. Very happy with the results. Keeping my fingers crossed for a little bit more density in the crown.

5 months post second surgery update: The crown is still requiring patience but I am very happy to finally see done decent growth. The hairline is also looking better with the added grafts from the second surgery.

I have more chest hair than you. Dr. Feriduni took around 500 grafts from mine. I told him to take as much as he felt comfortable taking. I am not sure why he didn’t take more. My chest looks like no hair was taken after 5 months.

I am a little past 4 months post second surgery. The crown is finally growing in. I am also very happy with the hairline.

Any update?

I realized the Imgur link wasn’t working. hopefully this link works: video

I am at three months post second surgery. I feel the crown is definitely taking longer to show results compared to my three month results after my first surgery but I am starting to see growth which is exciting. here is a video: https://imgur.com/a/7F9REzT

I just went through your entire thread. I just wanted to say I am very impressed with how you have handled this very traumatic situation. Being able to get through this means you can survive anything. Have you had the opportunity to schedule a consultation with Eugenix or Nader yet? I love seeing their results on here, always very impressive.
