Senior Member Levrais Posted February 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) There has definitely been a big change and you still have a few more months of maturing yet to come. I would hope for a little more density in the coming months. How do you feel about it?

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted February 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2012 futbol9, Thanks for keeping us updated. There has definitely been a lot of growth at this point. Given the number of grafts you had and the large area covered I'd say you appear to be right on track at this point and I'm quite sure you will continue to see improvement over the next 4 months.

Senior Member futbol9 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hello here are my 1 year and 3 weeks pictures of my hair transplant with meshkin. I will apreciate if you guys tell me what you think. thank you by the way it was FUT surgery. Do you know if I will get more new hairs at this stage, will my hair get thicker or that's about it? I heard your new hair will keep getting better up to 1 and a half years, is this correct? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Your temples are pretty sparse. I am not too sure I would be happy with that. On the plus side it looks natural. As I said a year ago, you will probably need a second pass, if you are not happy. Overall, my personal observation and opinion, is that you had a decent transplant, but not a world class one. That is assuming that you didn't tell the doctor that you wanted to have your corners thin. That said, you do look better.

Senior Member Levrais Posted July 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think its great that you can buzz so close and barely see the scar. I agree with Spanker and would add that the front might look more dense if you let it grow a little longer. There will still be some maturing in the next 6 months but unlikely that you will see any drastic changes. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Levrais Posted July 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hey I just went back and looked at your preop pics. There is actually quite a change and you do look much better. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 10, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not horrible. It is looking very thin but the length (and damp hair) doesn't currently help you in that department. The scar healed well - still I wouldn't wear my hair that short.

Senior Member futbol9 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2012 thank you very much for all your comments. Yes I agree with you guys, I do look better but my temples are sparse. At least I have hair there now, before I did not have any. lol I do feel more confident than before but I do was expecting better results specially on the temples. based on this pictures how many more grafts do you think I will need to add more density on my temples? and thanks again for all your comments. by the way I would not like to get another scar, so maybe I will do FUE if I dont need that many grafts.
