Regular Member Davey Posted January 28, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, I was formerly a NW3, and 2 years ago had a FUE HT, approximately 2000 grafts. I live in Australia but went to Europe for my HT. Here is what my hair looks like now: Nothing went wrong with the 1st procedure. Had good yield. I am now looking at getting a 2nd FUE HT because I prefer a more aggressive hairline. I'm in my mid 40s. I'm looking for recommendations and/or comments from this forum.

Senior Member Louisjams Posted January 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just my opinion but you have a good look. Might want to consider leaving well enough alone and not risking trouble. You have a good result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to consider leaving well enough alone and not risking trouble. You have a good result. I agree with this. You do not need to have a procedure. Wait and in time decide.

Senior Member Spanker Posted January 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 28, 2017 I wouldn't drop it, but I I don't think that it would be a problem to add some temple points.

Hi Spanker, But don't you think that may be unnecessary as that may put him at risk for shock loss in that area? I would be very careful not to do it now and wait. He can definitely afford to wait.

Since the first transplant had no issue with shock loss I would assume that the risk with a further one would be small, especially given the fact I'm in my 40s and am on Finasteride.

Senior Member Ernie Posted January 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi, Given that my original transplant was 2 years ago what is the virtue in waiting further? Since the first transplant had no issue with shock loss I would assume that the risk with a further one would be small, especially given the fact I'm in my 40s and am on Finasteride. Temple points was my first thought too. Would make a big difference, and the risk/reward is in your favor as not many grafts will be needed. 3185 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 2/17/16 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/182611-fut-3185-dr-rahal-day-after-pics.html 1204 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 3/27/17 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186586-round-2-rahal-1204-fut-frontal-third-same-area.html ---> total of 4389 grafts to my frontal third via FUT ---> 1mg finasteride daily since 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted January 30, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi Davey, For aggressive FUE there is Dr. Erdogan and Dr. Keser in Turkey, and believe it or not Dr. Bisanga can go aggressive when the situation and the patient's needs warrant it. He did my temple corners at 60 grafts/cm2 (I have fine caliber hair so this made for a fairly dense non see-through result). Dr. Feriduni could be another choice but seems waiting lists are long and may require in person consult to get a booking (?). go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member DavidAnderson Posted January 30, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would build up the temple points for certain, if you are going to lower the hairline, which I don't think you need to then you have to build the temple points or it is going to look too top heavy. Do your research on temple points you really need to find a Doctor that will choose finer softer hairs with FUE to blend with the hair behind.

Regular Member Davey Posted February 1, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks everyone for your replies. The general consensus appears to be that I should be looking at temple points rather than lowering the hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American rather than European, but I'm in Australia, so either side will be a look distance away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aWidowsPeek Posted February 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looks great as is especially for being in your 40's but if you have the donor and the money hell why not lower it and add temple points. Go for it Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dolph1969 Posted February 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'd maybe wait to see if the greed subsides.... it's a good result as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
