Regular Member follicleknight Posted December 30, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Greetings all, Hope you are all well and had a great Christmas with yours On the 24th. of december, the six-month mark was finally passed. I had a 2750 graft crown job done through beautytravels24.com and even though crown jobs are reputed to be notoriously slow to grow, I figured it was time to get opinions by now. As follows: The "start" picture far-left is taken in natural light with a 5 MP cell-cam. The "6 month_3_days" picture second-left was also taken in natural light, but with an 8 MP cell-cam. More pictures are available in my gallery. So, what do you think I can expect from what you can see so far? Picture 3 (8 MP natural light) is from the front at an angle over the top of the head and I believe I see quite a few little dark spots that appear to be hair that just hasn't pieced the surface yet. Overly optimistic maybe? Picture 4 is taken straight from above (8 MP natural light) and looks a little more bleak IMO. Thx.

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted February 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2014 Doesn't seem to be much to comment on champ, but keep us updated. I find crown jobs to be very interesting. Are you going to grow you hair long or are you happy with it shaven? 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...
Regular Member follicleknight Posted February 10, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would rather keep it short to see how much yield I get actually get on the root level. I would like to grow it long again, but it depends on the yield after a full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member follicleknight Posted June 27, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys, Thx for the interest I just passed the full-year mark three days ago. Took these picks today: Still think it's pretty sparse for 2750 grafts. The two pics on the right were taken more from above and the two on the left more from further down the back. 8 px camera was used. Opinions?

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2014 Its difficult to tell when its that short to be honest. Do you have any with it more grown out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member follicleknight Posted June 28, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don't, sorry. I kept it short because I wanted a clear view on the density of the new growth down at the root level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member follicleknight Posted June 30, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2014 I just had the doctors review the posted pictures and they want me to come down for a correction involving re-positioning of still non-firing grafts and perhaps using Plasma Replacement Therapy to boost them into action and perhaps also transplant some more from the donor area to the problem area. Does anybody know anything about what to expect result-wise from repositioning and using PRT? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted June 30, 2014 I personally would not go back to somebody who got it wrong the first time! If they admit it needs a "Correction" i would not be at all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member follicleknight Posted June 30, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2014 I don't know if they got it amateurishly wrong necessarily. Results vary greatly depending on the subjects biochemistry and the area transplanted to. I also heard that crown jobs are by far the toughest to really get growing.

Senior Member FUE2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2014 I also heard that crown jobs are by far the toughest to really get growing. They say that, but I think a lot of doctors aren't particularly good with crown work, perhaps even most of them, because the only doctor that regularly gets great results with his crown results is Lorenzo....I literally can't think of another doc that comes closes to his crown work and if so, I would love to see one.

Amazon786 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi, interesting to hear about your experience with BeautyTravel24 so far. I am considering doing my HT through them. Mine would also be mainly the crown area. Early stages before I decide yet so therefore still doing my research. Would you mind giving me an update on your recovery. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
