Senior Member thisguy1 Posted February 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks Sam and Jon, I've gotten different responses, Dr. Umar said about 3,000 which seems unlikely in my opinion, Dr. Bhatti estimated about 1,500-2,000, yea I agree I think no one in my position has ever tried just FUE because everyone says FUT for high norwoods. Im still debating on whether or not I should get the crown done now or wait a few years to see if I need additional density to the midscalp, whatever I do I need to think it and plan it out carefully. I thought you were older for some reason but I saw today on some thread you said you were 30 so I think I'd wait if I were you to see what happens in the mid scalp; only because you are only doing FUE and hence probably have 2K left. Probably a diff answer if you went FUT and had more to harvest. Also a diff answer if you were 40. It would be a shame in 15 years to have the great frame and great crown and then something weaker in the middle, esp with someone such as yourself who has become an expert on hair and would kick yourself in behind every day in mirror. Honestly if someone is not a hair expert or did a HT themselves they won't notice the thinning you do in the crown right now with this hair length. You notice it because it's your own head you look at daily but as a person who was just walking around town I wouldnt even look twice at your crown and think anything of it. Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6. Docs whose results I am most consistently impressed with: Konior, Cooley (FUT), Hasson (FUT), Diep (FUE) (yeah I like the zig zag).

I hate hats at this point after wearing them so much for a decade. Goal 1 - have enough hair in front to actually use a comb! Goal 2 - end hats! I see guys with full heads of hair who wear hats and it just grinds at me. :rolleyes: Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6.

Most people wouldn't expect me to be so bald their reaction made it even worse. One time I had a bouncer at a club actually feel sorry for me and he let me bring the hat in the club.

Your hair has taken at least 20 years off your appearance just by looking at the scalp. You must have had great donor to get such a great result. He said he is a self avowed pin head - so for once it is great to have a small head. HTSoon is 30 so I hope it didnt take 20 years off his look - that would be awkward . But now he can stay at age 30 for 20 years! Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6.

Senior Member JON86 Posted March 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2016 Htsoon the more time goes by your results are in my hall of fame of great results. From where you started until now is really amazing. I had some issues with Dr Diep but it can't be denied how great of a job he did on you. He has done an amazing job with minimal grafts. I don't think there are many doctors out there that can get as good of results with the same amount of grafts as he can. His hairlines are as good as it gets and why I originally sought him out too. You do a lot to help others on here give really good advice to people and I am really happy for you that this has been a real home run for you. You deserve it.

Feels good that you meet your expectations. Are you aware if all your grafts grew out? Thanks! I would say visually it looks like all of them grew but realistically probably 90%.

Senior Member Garageland Posted March 7, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2016 HTsoon, Your results look incredible I am really happy for you it feels good to kick balding doesn't it. As you have not had any grafts placed towards the back of the scalp and this area looks thicker too did you have a good reaction to meds? Apologies if I missed you state this earlier. Do you have any plans to address the crown or do you think you are going to enjoy your results for now. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.
