Then I would still take my time and look at finding a good repair surgeon. Some names have already been mentioned. Do a search on this forum for repair cases like yours and see which doctors performed them. If you are looking at keeping your hair in the future then you will need to stay on medication. Wishing you all the best!

Will do , yes I know that i’ll need to stay on the meds to stabilise it

I don;t know how long ago you had the hair transplant but you need to wait AT LEAST 12 months so that all the grafts have grown out. The repair doctor needs to know what he is working with. If you have the grafts removed then this will take probably at least two sessions. Also as @Melvin- Admin has said you need to know what your goals are? I was in a very similar situation with plugs all along my hairline by 19. My goal was easier back in the day. I just wanted to get rid of all the plugs.

Its been 13 months my goal is to make it natural and softer from the front and make it not look pluggy as it looks pluggy and sparse and happy

Here’s the bottomline. Its up to you what you’re comfortable with, end of the day this is your head no one else’s. 

Personally, I don’t think removing all the grafts is a good idea. I think the hairline height is appropriate for you based on the pictures you provided. 

Again, you might see someone’s hairline and think that looks good, someone might feel unhappy and vice versa. What are your goals? Once you can answer that, you will know the best way forward. 

This case was a lot worse and done in one session. Only the necessary grafts were removed. Ultimately, I think it looks good to me. But, it all depends on what you would personally feel comfortable with.

 

I don’t really wanna do the graft removal i rather do the camouflaging like u mentioned to me on insta as mine isn’t as bad as some peoples like u said

@hxris-h the side of my donor area is noticeable under harsh lighting. Feriduni, Bisanga, and Laowrong are my choices for a potential repair.

It looks like overharvesting.

Yeah i think it is they paid me refund

I’m in the same boat as you and hope to fix my hair in the future. Had mine done back in Turkey of last year and 3100 grafts was extracted. My donor area has signs of over harvesting and my goal is to have some of the hair replanted back to the donor area. If possible. 

Mines like that donor isn’t as noticeable if i have low fade , where you thinking doing repair i had 4050 grafts

Likely a bit of overharvesting (extracting too many grafts from a condensed area). Which clinic was it you went to?

 

One in turkey, yes they overharvested it

Possibly that particular area was over harvested. Have you consulted with your surgeon ?

Yh i think so too , they said go see dermatologist 

Just now, jjalay said:

Because yor hairloss may progress further and the plan for a repair or second surgery in your case can be completely different in 5 years from now. You are to young to proceed with a second surgery and you already had an fue megasession. Its your head and you decide but i would be patience and try to think more on the long run. In compare to other really terrible hairline works i have seen yours is acceptable and not that bad as you think.

Yh im gonna research first and be patient and stick to my medication regimen 0.08% topical fin and 0.25mg minoxdil oral and im trying to style it in certain way but its to thin and gappy

Your hair after your first hairtransplant doesnt look that bad, you are to young to think about getting another surgery even if you call it a repair. In your place i wouls stick to medication and postpone any thoughts about geting another hairtransplant.

Its too straight hairline and low density im on the meds but how long should i wait to get repair the damage is done now so why not get the repair done asap?

I'm so sorry to hear this. This is a really new low taking advantage of people with autism. I've been workin in autism for 33 years. There really needs to be further action around this case. It's beyond just a bad hair mill result. If this hit the news that a hair mill and the middle man were involved they would be toast.

I know gatsby man its stressed me more then when I didn’t have hair i look in mirror insecure about my straight hairline and density i even spoke to john who went eugenixs even he said the same as you now my family are gonna help fund the next one and it is gonna cost me round £8000+ minimum and no 23 should have to go through this I guess i was gullible and took advantage off.  Gatsby i did try dm you on insta for some advice few months ago.  - on insta hxris.h

Im tiktoker myself 65k followers I have loads kids my age messaging me about wanting get ht i tell them do your research dont make the mistake i did i could easily go make commission and send them to the same clinic i went but id never let someone go through same misery and my reputation means more to me then money

Just now, Gatsby said:

Would this be a YouTube influencer by any chance who's had a hair transplant and a beard transplant?

No it was someone of tiktok who sends people to clinics based on they budget he was nice guy i still chat to him and he no longer works with the clinic who ffd me up the clinic who did this refunded me thats why i didnt say the name i also have autism and my family wont let me fly abroad again and only in uk when i went to turkey i went with my uncle and my surgery was 12 hours with techs who didnt speak English 

Ive had this bald patch for year since my hair transplant and it hasn’t gone way whys that

Unfortunately the hair restoration industry is full of snakes and the marketplace is largely unregulated. Despite how badly people can get messed up, it's very much the Wild West out there, which is way spaces like this forum are invaluable as a research tool and, where needed, a support network.

The fringe works pretty well for you.

Yeah man thankyou for the information you given me man means a lot and i’m glad theres forums like this and yes I use to rock this look when i started thinning few years ago and in my teen years to hide my big forehead i might just brush it down certain to make it look less noticeable

May I suggest that using instagram as your primary mode of research is what's gotten you into this situation in the first place?  Also, I can literally see two repair cases posted on his Instagram just 12 & 17 posts ago (both of which are showcased on this forum) in more detail by both the client and, in one case, the patient himself.

Come on man... This forum has a perfectly healthy search function.

Nah what got me into this situation I went through someone who claimed to be a so called hair transplant specialist who guides people to the right clinic and said had years of experience but ended up sending me to hair mill LOL i was gullible and plus i have autism but mistakes happen

Decided to style it down to hide it to see how it looks still thin but if i put bit product and fibres and put it down it looks less noticeable can ride this look until i go for my repair?

Dr Feriduni in Belgium is the master at these sorts of repairs. 

Theres no repair work on his insta

Okay so that’s useful. I can see now the shape of the hairline. One thing that is technically wrong is that the temple recession points are actually a bit lower than the mid-centre point. It should be the other way around. 
 

The better news is that it doesn’t seem as though your hairline has been lowered too much at all. You might be able to have extractions in the temple corners to create a more natural recession & less flat hairline and then softer singles in the centre to cover any pluggy hairs meaning less extraction work than taking from the entire hairline. Either way, if you do go down the extraction route it’s three surgeries to extract, extract more & rebuild the hairline, then extract remaining stragglers & fine tune the hairline. 
 

The temple points are tricker in that you didn’t really have any to begin with, and they’ve gone in hard with thick grafts. Here you’ll need some de-bulking of the biggest grafts and more singles added. You may never get them to look completely ideal and it’ll take two or three sessions but it’s fixable. 
 

All of that said, I’ve seen much worse cases. The key is to take your time & not rush. 

Thankyou man for the advice , i’ll look into some clinics do you know any surgeons that i can look into who do these kind of repair cases then i can do bit research about them

I’m not a fan of extracting grafts, it should only be for severe cases. The goal of a repair should be to make it look natural, but also minimize scarring. Extracting all the grafts will leave a lot of scars on your hairline. Also, extracting grafts and re-planting them can lead to transection and poor yield. 
 

Dr. Reddy goes into it here. I think this case is a lot worse than yours and required some extraction. 
 

Even if you try and remove all the grafts and re-implant them, you may be left with residual grafts that were in the telogen phase. Dr. Zarev goes into that here.

This was a severe case that required it due to the low and unnatural curvature. 
 

I think your hairline resembles the classic successful Turkish Hair Mill result. By no means is it natural, but it’s not the worst ive seen. 

I think a good approach is to soften the hairline with quality soft singles. Extract only the grafts that absolutely need to be extracted, for example multis in the frontal area. 

I do not think having one session of extracting it all is a good idea. Those are chunky grafts. You need at least 0.85 size punch to extract those grafts without transection. That will leave scars and you might develop hypopigmentation. 
 

It was successfully done here and was necessary in this case. But you see scars even with a 0.7 size punch.

 

Thanks Melvin will check them out and yeah Dr Reddy is on my number 1 list

And what did they say? I've never seen or heard of any hairline extraction work done by any of those surgeons other than Dr Ball.

But if you want proper help from people on the forum - and maybe we can advise surgeons to speak to who would be best suited to your case - we'd need to see pre & post-op photos to have a better understanding of what gone one. If you don't want to post then fair enough - it just limits our ability to help is all.

It may or may not leave scarring. The best hairline extraction work we've seen pass through these forums has left basically zero scarring. We've also seen some cases where there's a bit of blemishing or marking but nothing major, and we've seen one case at least where there is more visible marking (but the patients looks 1000x better). So... it depends. Depends on your propensity for scarring and it depends on the quality of the repair work.

Sent some pics

Miln said he has to do one session removal graft and another session and so did ball 

heres some pictures 

Just now, Berba11 said:

It really wasn't. He had punch graft surgery, with big gaps between the grafts and, crucially, his hairline was kept nice and conservative. That meant that covering the problem grafts was significantly easier than if his hairline was lower and full of individual multi-grafts hairs placed fairly densely next to each other. He also had no temple point work done either. Yes, he had pluggy grafts. The similarities start and end there and his case was actually a pretty easy fix in the right hands. What you may require is much more complicated.

Ah okay im just wondering how i would look if they punch the grafts out and 2 sessions on me will it leave scarring

Sorry mate - if you want help you need to be willing to do a bit of the leg work.
