Regular Member spile Posted February 3, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) I've been avoiding this forum for quite some time now because I hate seeing such stellar results from everyone and makes me feel like crap. But I've been so depressed for the past 3 years from my bad HT and from people commenting about how weird my hairline looks, that I try to avoid thinking about it when I'm not looking at myself in the mirror. Except for those who've ever had a failed HT will know it's ALWAYS on your mind and I just keep staring at people's hair. Here are some before and after pics. What would you estimate it would take to get my life back again?!?!?!!? This was 2617 FUT graphs with what I estimate about 20-25% yield. The second photo is a pic I took today, almost 3 years post-op with a tape measure for reference. Somedays I just cant look at myself in the mirror and just throw on a hat. Should I consider lasering off the graphs and just stick with a higher hairline?

Regular Member BoomerSooner Posted February 4, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 4, 2013 How is your donor area? I really don't think it would take a whole lot to fix that. There are doctors that have done many successful repair jobs.

Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted February 4, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2013 Your native hair looks very dense so I would say that you'd need somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500-2000 grafts or so to even it out. It would be a slam dunk for a top tier doc granted you have no problems with normal growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason: Doctor requested that I remove the pics and work it out with him Hmm. Which doctor asked you to remove pictures of his work? That sounds troubling. Removing characterizations, OK. But accurate pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted February 5, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2013 A quick glance through the "all public posts" will give you that information, Shadow. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing characterizations, OK. But accurate pictures? This is worrying.... I won't mention who the Doctor is but Tommy is correct... Spile seems like a very genuine and honest guy, I really hope he gets the outcome he deserves..
