With a limited donor your biggest mistake IMHO is not to try finasteride, perhaps on a smaller dosing as your balding pattern is quite wide. And hairloss continues well into your 50 & 60s too…. 
 

On top or retaining what you already have, you also ensure your not loosing more hairs in your donor for future needs.

Price should never be the main priority… it will only dissapoint you

Guys there is life outside this forum, i suppose he wants to now move on as he suggested in his post in December so i think it doesnt help people keep asking for updates, clearly he’s not interested and tbh I can understand it.

Guys, FUE scarring takes longer than 5 months to soften, reduce in brightnes and be less visible - ie. those pictures at 5 months are not at full recovery at all. Evidence shows this happens even after 1 year post OP. 

Hi son2,

Great progress for 5 months on the 2nd surgery. Will be a great result.
 

Scarring is absolutely normal and yours look pretty good with good space between the dots, ie. Good harvest which you would expect from Ferreira so IMHO you can completely disregard what hair_forever said. Keep us updated with your progress!

Its pretty common. I had one spot where i hit my head (soft) but had a slight scratch which ended up with a bit of folliculitis. I used on my doctors recommendation Fucidin 2% for a week and it was over with, but it was very minor. 
 

Looking good James 🤘🏻

I think it looks pretty good on you PJ although clearly there is some quite sparse areas…. IMHO I consider Eugenix an advanced hairmill and they tend to go overly aggressive and the density is often subpar which we have seen quite a lot lately here. If I were you, and you want a few areas improved density-wise, I would look elsewhere. 
 

all the best

Hi Jamie,

Perhaps you wanna enlighten the audience about what your due diligence on the matter has been and which doctors you have it narrowed down to subject to what specific areas you want to be done? Then its easier to help you. 

He gave you his answer already - and yes, shedding time is varible from person to person. 

Just leave it. Follow his instructions and wash it under gentle water and that should take care of the rest. 

Hi mate, not pre-op but post-op to see the extraction pattern and how closely the extracted the grafts to judge for the shock loss, but either way, it will not be possible to give conclusive answers. For now i would either way just have patience, it is very normal with some shockloss - 4600 grafts is a fair bit in one go!

The truth is no one knows. It could just be shockloss, in which case it can take up to 6 months to recover, so I would not worry yet. Atleast it looks like they have extracted from all the back and up over the ears which is good. Which clinic did you go to? Do you have any immediate post-op pictures from the donor area? 

Looks great Woody. All the best

Great progress dude. You will be a happy chap soon with the results! Its already coming along nicely

So the 3200 graft didnt include the Crown? Could you tell us where did you have this done? I would say 3200 grafts is okay but on the lesser side for that area covered, most guys are on 3500+ as it extends quite backwards and to your temples. Then there might be some areas affected by poor Growth as mentioned, it might be a mix of everything… 

You are very young, and based on your picture it seems not just to be the frontal region which already have a high degree of hairloss for your age, but also midscalp seems to be affected. You will need to monitor if finasteride completely pauses your hairloss for a longer period or only slow it down as it does for many. For many men hairloss is most aggressive untill their mid 30s, which if is the case with you, might mean you dont have enough donor available to correct it later on. Likewise as you get older, it will be more easy to predict your final NW pattern and a surgeon will be able to tailor a longterm plan for you on how to manage your donor capability to the best extend so it will also look good as you age.  
 

Stay on fin and consider adding Minoxidil to your regimen. Delay any HT for some years as you are too young at 22 as it could backfire as your hairloss will progress as you are still just 22, potentially ending up in a worse situation that you are in now. 

Do you have the post OP pictures to see graft placements? 

Started 14 days post OP according to my Dr… 

i didnt read the “ORAL” part I thought you talked about topical, so disregard!

Ditto see the cobblestoning… I can see you wished to get an aggressive lowering of your hairline but I cant really grasp why Eugenix would agree to lower your hairline so much with you being 28 years only and clearly had an aggressive (and diffuse) hairloss.

I dont know with you, but I would never want to work for free, so I dont think it is unreasonable they charge you for taking their time. It also serves to show who is more serious. I would be more sceptical if someone was offering it for free!

Chill out mate you should be all fine. Many doctors let you wash the hair on the day after surgery, as long as you do it with low pressure. It wont ruin anything. All the best 

It does seem the extraction itself have resulted in many of the hairs have been extracted from the back of the head and the spread out the extraction of hair follicles have been not ideally done.

It looks great. I am sure you will get a killer result🙂
