Hairwolf

Thanks for uploading. Your crown was in pretty good shape before the procedure anyway so looks good from the back, hence the lower NW classification I guess.

Hairline has time to mature and densify further.

Looking here from the front- how about from the crown?

Good write up here! Dr Pranchaprateep is also a great doctor and looks like a great job here, so you were in good hands. 

Thanks for posting looks clean. Another poster says the Dr only does conservative hairlines- as is yours. I read you opted for that but was a more aggressive hairline offered?

Looks perfect. congratulations!

The top hair appears darker now compared to the sides and the pre-transplant top hair.

Are you using any thickening products or hair dye in that picture?

How is your donor areas looking with the 3 length on the sides? Can you see the scars at 3 or 2 length?

 

not using any products such as concealer or Toppik and so on and furthermore never will 😊. My hair can look somewhat grey on top depending on the light, but I am pretty grey at the sides. I also haven’t dyed my hair but it’s an option I am considering when the crown is grown out after the 2nd op.

Here are pics taken after shaving it down. The hair will look more dense when grown out of course. The donor looks ok I guess but let me know what you think. 

Right 7 and a half months post op. Pic dated exactly 7 months post op. Shaved it down to a 6 guard on top and 3 at the sides  last week again cos of the crown. 

note could not resist changing my user name to a bad pun. 😆 

Not bad at all mate! Will continue thicken from here!

Some people are late growers so no need to panic yet. Go to Turkey for the HT?

Looks normal here

looking good here- the thick wavy hair calibre contributes to a great density. Looks natural and a milestone reached!

How is the crown looking?

good coverage coming in here. considering your starting point I would be happy enough.

Sound advice above, but would like to add that topical could put the hair into a shed, so personally, would just let the hair do its thing until it has grown out then can try it. Of course it would be better to try topical beforehand and see how you respond first, rather than using for the first time after surgery.

Looks good- also like the hairline design and  nice balance of grafts spread over 2 days, so should provide a good cosmetic improvement and leaving a smaller 2nd op for improved density. Donor looks thick also. Happy growing 

Surgical  involvement: The surgeon must be involved in every procedure, from the consultation and design to the procedure itself. We understand some surgeons delegate certain aspects of the procedure. For example, technicians may extract the grafts or implant the grafts. The surgeon must be involved in one of those aspects of surgery

@Melvin- Admin so that means that certain Drs on the recommended list will be automatically removed as they do not fit the above criteria? 

Good luck and look forward to your report.

That’s a great strip job- can’t see the scar at all from the pics. Minox can cause a shed -as can Fin- if taking for the first time. Give it 6 months and see how it goes.

For the ugly duckling, in my situation, I started a new job so threw myself into that, so take up a new hobby or something to occupy your time.

Agree it’s a personal preference really some prefer more straight round etc but a v line I believe suits European males better 

I never had one before and don’t really feel it’s suitable for myself personally, so guess it is a matter of choice.

It was unshaven procedure dr laorwong shaved it but not my temple. You can see in the pics that he just added approx 20 single grafts to each side to make them more irregular and not so straight I think they worked out well 

waiting on pics from clinic to be sent then I’ll post I know my pics aren’t the best quality sorry 

Oh yeah can see them now after a closer look.

Very nice. A slight V pattern looks so much better than a flat line or circle line of hair across the forehead. I think more Drs need to do that type of design.

In your opinion do you think the v pattern/widow’s peak is suitable for everyone or is it largely dependent on facial structure? 

Sure no worries. To add, my eyes were covered too for my surgery but I was so heavily sedated it didn’t bother me. It’s probably a Thai standard thing. You could ask them to lift it I’m sure no problem.

These are all good choices. I went to Dr Laorwong and am happy with the results. Dr Patty offers incredible value and some of the result on the forum looked promising also. As you are in the US presumably however it’s a long way to go, and Nader is a solid choice also, although would research cases with higher Norwoods first. Furthermore, as other posters will tell you, location should not be the primary factor for HT choice, so go with your gut as it determines what you will see in the mirror for the foreseeable.

Dr Laorwong is good with higher NW cases, and from personal experience, would be my choice, so perhaps you could come and make a holiday of it too. Good Luck!

Great presentation but Gary Linkov is more of a youtube expert, not a hairtransplant expert.

Would be interested in seeing a report from him too 😆 

Hairline refinement looks good here. It’s great when you know what you are looking for. Can see you have a fade but not the temple points? Did you get non-shave for that? Any pics of the work done to them? The crown? Would be great to see.

will be following this one
