Senior Member Gettinold Posted May 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 So I had my first transplant March of 2012-about 1700 to the crown area. The growth was good, the coverage was a bit lacking, dang my thin hair..so I went back last week, wanted to thicken the crown and start on the hairline. We went with 1500 more grafts to the crown (Dr. Charles assured me that I had good donor hair and would have planty left over to continue the HT's if my hair loss continued to progress), and then start filling in the very front, 500 grafts..Will get more pics up soon, dealing with some shockloss in the back but not stressing over it. Just want my stitches out now, they are annoying as heck..

Senior Member Spanker Posted May 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 I remember this case. Your fine hair did contribute to the result, but I also remember saying that 1500 just wasn't enough. This will make a big difference. I would be careful about putting any more in your crown. You may need more grafts in the future up front. Happy growing. I think your will be pretty satisfied with your crown in a year.

Senior Member Shampoo Posted May 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 Gettinold how old are you? Are you on meds? This puts you at 3200 in crown total? I am considering getting 2500-3000 in my crown later this year.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted May 25, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2013 3x3 inches would put it at about 58 sq cm so 1500 would be about 25 grafts per sq cm. Definitely not enough but as Spanker said, 1700 more will put you up over 50 and should look very good. Was your hair to grafts ratio low as well?

Senior Member Gettinold Posted May 26, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 26, 2013 Gettinold how old are you?Are you on meds? This puts you at 3200 in crown total? I am considering getting 2500-3000 in my crown later this year. I'm 33, not on meds, I take herbs, eat right (for the most part) and excersise. My crown and very front went on me in a flash, but the rest is much slower, if it's going at all .I've also not touched and coke/soda stuff in over 9 years. I'd like to think that all this contributed to the stabilization.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
