Post OP day 0 - FUT 5700 grafts with Dr. Wong
MaximusEastwood replied to MaximusEastwood's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
One year in. Overall feeling good about the transplant. Getting positive reactions from my friends & family, the result looks pretty natural, and I have decent coverage given the starting point. Considering getting another HT at some point (would do FUE this time), but don't feel rushed to do it. And not sure if i would want to lower the hairline or add density -

I'll probably wait a full year to see how the crown fills in before making a call. I'm overall happy with the results and don't feel like i *need* a second surgery. but if i did another one it would definitely be FUE this time. luckily doing FUT first saves a lot in the "bank" -

A little delayed, but here are 9 month photos. Overall hair has started to mature and is less 'kinky' than before! -

~7 month update. Overall happy with the coverage and continued density, but not yet 100% satisfied. My worry is: Hair is very curly/wispy, much more so than my donor hair or my natural hair before it fell out I know hair transplants are the illusion of density, but in natural light it doesn't feel like the illusion is very strong. The left side is also not as dense as the right side Even from the side, transplanted area looks a lot thinner than side of head Curious about whether i'm not being realistic, need to give it more time, or improve styling through gels/fibers/etc. -

Wanted to share @HappyMan2021 comment about potentially being a botched job, based on the hair angle/quality. Any thoughts here? -
Hair looking frizzy and wispy - any styling tips?

Oh no….do you think it’s worth reaching out to the clinic about it? Or just wait? -

Month 6 update! Starting to get better density on the top, but hoping there's more to come. Just got my haircut yesterday at a 4 guard on the sides, and you can barely notice the strip even then. Wanted to ask two questions to the group: Noticing the hairs in the front (especially on the right-side facing the mirror) tend to stick up, which is different from my hair before it fell out. Is this common? And will it change as the hair continues to grow/thicken? How do people style their hair? I haven't gotten anything except a buzz for over 10 years, so needing to relearn how to style & get my hair cut...Any tips here haha -

Wanted to share some top of head photos for ~5 month update. Feels like growth is coming in slower than what i've seen on other patient timelines, but curious to hear others thoughts. The three photos are include: 1. Direct natural light, after having used foam minoxidil 2. Direct natural light, no minoxidil 3. Bathroom (artificial) light
