Thank you all so much, the positive words are really helpful to hear..    I've been a bit discouraged feeling like my donor area looks terrible, and time seems to drag, and the progress just seems so slow..

Will check back in at month 4, hopefully with some gains 💪 

The donor area will definitely improve and not look so thin but I mean you had thousands of grafts taken from it, it isn’t going to be the same as before surgery. You will also have to keep your hairs long to not look see through, at short length it will not look good. 

The good thing is the extractions are homogenous so no single area will stand out. 

17k? For 2k grafts!! Sheeeshh who did you go to? 

My opinion? what a horribly planned procedure costing an arm and a leg. I mean unless it’s what you wanted, you don’t have much of a hairline, that 2k grafts would’ve given you quite an amazing dense hairline if they were properly used. 
 

I am sorry but cases like these have been quite sobering and helped me get over my panic attack few months ago. I just love my hairline and I only had 1k grafts more than you at a fraction of the cost yet my result looks far better and a lot more area covered.

I am sorry this isn’t a good hair transplant, your midscalp is bare and you seem to have an amazing donor so it doesn’t make sense why has this been done to you. You need another HT for crown and some grafts to improve your hairline - if you can call that a hairline. And you spent 17k for this, just wow! 

Good luck man

1mg of Xanax…damn! 

Did the doctor do any extractions or implantations? Or just hovered around checking on you? 

 

Incredible

There does appear to be thin hairs. It will probably get better. 

Curious to see how this turns out. Happy growing 

How many grafts was this and how much did it cost?

Work looks good. Happy growing 

Must really want it bad he made 2 topics about it lol

Minoxidil induces a very strong shed and yes totally normal.

Stop freaking out. 3-6 months minimum is where a normal cycle happens can even be dragged out to 12 months 

Your grafts don’t care if you do it one time or several times lol what’s with the negotiation 

Don’t do it for 2 weeks, it’s not that difficult you will survive

Lol yeah unfortunately, 10 years of balding my friend. Ive been on medication for 10 months

In that case, give up on minoxidil and save your money. It’s not doing anything. 
 

You have aggressive hairloss and your focus should be on anti-DHT meds. Stay on finasteride daily. The crown will go rapidly if you stop fin. Ketaconazole 2% shampoo. 
 

4400 is a lot of grafts for someone so young with such aggressive hairloss. Maybe it would be better to wait until you’re 30 to see where your crown is heading and if medication stabilises you, use hair systems for now. 

But if you’re doing a HT now, use less grafts in just the hairline+midscalp without touching the crown for now and save your beard grafts for future. Your beard isn’t that great either tbh. 

Your beard will probably get better with age but fin usage is going to hurt it. At the same time you can’t stop Finasteride. 

Damn, NW6 at 26?!! 

How long have you been using medication?

Wow. Really nice growth, congrats 

Coming along nicely

Happy growing

Certainly in this thread there are some users who have tried to come up with some excuses or rather explanations for this poor repair when in reality it’s just been poor from the clinic and doctor themselves, but in general I don’t think these people are biased towards any clinic and they were genuinely trying to be optimistic. They provide excellent information for us all on this forum and it’s certainly highly valued/respected by a lot. 
 

The reality is they produce a lot more positive good results than poor results. This is why I choose them. Unfortunately, not in my case and this should be accepted by the clinic and the doctor. 

I hope the next clinic you choose is where the doctor does everything and you’re the focus for the whole day or several days. 

Repair cases have specific requirements as demanded by the patient not obvious to everyone and this is why the less people that have to understand what you want really, the better chance of a good outcome. 

Good luck 

Wow! Do I need to say more? 😎

100% agree.

I think PRP is just useful during hair surgery to store the grafts in, afterwards it doesn’t do anything. Maybe heal a little faster. Hairs grow great when DHT isn’t attacking them.  Save your money.

Actually the top clinics have a lot of consistency, it’s the hairmills which produce a lot of inconsistent results. 

Yeah. You’re a Norwood 3. You’re the perfect candidate for a HT.

At the end of the day you’ve to live with it and it has to be the plan you want.

Great early growth. Enjoy!

Looks really good. Nobody can tell you had any hairloss issues at all

Discomfort. That’s pretty much it
