Congratulations!

 

Glad to hear Rahal fixed the results from your previous HT with them to your satisfaction

 

I know it was a long road for you and appreciate you reporting your story

 

As a former and future FUE patient, it has personally helped me immensely

 

Only the best to you mate

Sugar, great result ultimately. Frequently touch-ups are needed for FUE or FUT cases and this shows what can be gained by doing these. A couple of questions:

 

1) How low was your final hairline (in CM from glabella)? This was 1CM lower than your original non-translated hairline, right?

2) How many FUE grafts were needed for your "touch-up" procedure in 2013?

 

Thanks, and again great ultimate result. ;)

jbrant, I don't really have a way to measure my final hairline at the moment, but it is definitely lower than the original. 1cm lower is my best guess.

 

My touch up procedure used 1000 grafts, but keep in mind they we're not only put in my existing grafted areas, many were put in areas of further recession.

Looks good. That is a lit of grafts but at your age I think that you can afford them. Are you on finasteride?

Great to see things were corrected and set for you with better framing and density. Sucks you had to go through it again but glad you got what you initially wanted. Very happy for you. Finally, you got some peace of mind. No more worries.

Happy for you champ, it looks great!

 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now.

Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018.

Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon

Hey Sean. I think I'm doing pretty well. I have a ton of gray hair lol but the hair line seems good. I can clipper my head with a #2 clippers and I have no visible differences in density from my native hairs. I often do that because I look way younger without the gray. I will post some pics over here next time I do.

 

How are you Sean?

Sugar, your hair looks like its made a tremendous recovery from the mystery "thinning" that occurred after your first HT, congrats! Is there anyway to see the hairline with your hair combed up or back since you have changed your hairstyle and now comb it forward?

 

again, it looks great.

Hi LosAngeles (Go Kings!)

 

My hair is actually brushed up in the photos I posted on 1/28. I have a new picture on my phone of me with a #2 clip cut which is a 1/4 inch long. I will post that photo as soon as I get a chance, and my hair is too short to move so you can see what it looks like.
