Background
30 y/o
started receding in late 2015
started medical therapy in late 2018 (fin + min)
responded well, virtually stopped the loss, and experienced regrowth, with no side effects
Goals:
Restore what I had lost before medical therapy (the corners)
Maintain a natural look (mild recession)
Do not lower the hairline but add density to the front if possible
Consulted with hair transplant surgeons/clinics in Connecticut, NYC, Istanbul, and London
5 minutes into speaking with Dr. Nader via FaceTime, I knew he was the one.
Later down the journey, I will post a full report on my overall experience with him and his team (hint: it was a 10/10)
I will also post some general advice if you choose to go with Nader
The procedure was done on 4/13, 2023.
Total: 901 grafts
Singles: 221 (blended across the front)
Doubles: 383
Triples: 266
Quads: 31
He is as ethical as they come. So, he hesitates to do any type of aggressive work that may result in an unnatural look or an over-harvested donor area. However, after I assured him I would continue medical therapy, he agreed we could do a “fairly aggressive” approach. He nailed the corners and added as many singles to the front as he could without interrupting the blood supply of native hair.
You will notice the line is not perfectly symmetrical. It is a bit staggered. I’ve seen this produce great results with his other patients and hope it adds to a natural look down the line. He said things should “even out” as it progresses.
Let me know your thoughts on density and design, happy to answer any questions
Btw, I have since cleaned that comb, lol
