Hello all,
I am currently in Turkey for a hair transplant done on Wednesday June 21. Doc originally drew hairline a lower but I though it would look more natural a bit higher. I believe total extracted graphs was 3000 - 3500
Here’s the hairline drawing before surgery:
After surgery I noticed hairline looks far back especially in some angles and looks okay when my head is related down. I’ve asked if I can do a small touch up / modification to bring in the top left and right corner and surgery said yes but on day 6. Here’s the hairline at different angles after surgery:
Front:
As you can see the last picture looks better when I look down.
sides:
little lines I drew on picture 2 and 3 are what I think would give be a better look from the side view as it looks high and wide in the corner of the last two pictures in this section.
here’s a picture of my donor. Today is day 3 post surgery:
I have a few questions I’d like guidance on:
1. do you all think it’s a good idea to do the hairline modification 6 days after the transplant? My thought is I’m already here in Turkey and doc said it should be no problem since it will just be a small amount of graft
2. how’s my donor area? Good idea to get 250 - 500 graphs max to modify hairline?
3. What’s your vote, would you do the touch up or leave it as is based on pictures below?
im afraid of over harvesting or messing with newly implanted graphs, but doc thinks this can be done safely. I am a perfectionist and I came with mindset that result may not be perfect, but I think a small change could get me a much better hairline but I am risk adverse and don’t want to mess up what has been done. Please advise. 🙏
