Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 5, 2018 Payam, If im being honest, it doesnt look bad at all. Obviously, if you push your hair down or spread it apart you will expose scalp. This was my hairline dry at 6 months. You can see its still apprears a bit sparse and obviously moreso if my hair was wet. Remember, not everyone grows at ge same rate either. Moving forward, i would appreciate if you could post progress pictures like the one you posted that show your entire scalp. This gives a true depiction of your results. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Regular Member utxeee Posted September 5, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi Payam, You do not look that bad in those last couple of photos and I am being totally honest with you. As someone already said, you have made your mind already that this procedure was a failure and just want to hear those people who confirm your theory and blindly ignore those who provide helpful and unbiased feedback. You know what? Maybe the way you are handling all this process is in fact a mirror of all your insecurities that you thought would be solved with a brand new hair. By looking at your photos before the surgery you look like a good looking guy so you should be really proud of you because at least you win the genetic lottery. If you want an utterly earnest and honest advice, please, do focus on yourself above everything else and do not put so much pressure on the end result of this hair transplant because if this hair transplant turns out to be an home run you will still be the same person thinking in the exact same way and you know where this will end up? Let me guess, you will try to find something else external to you where you delegate the responsibility of your happiness. Just to make it clear, I am not saying that you just have to give up on this hair transplant and do not be demanding with the clinic and the doctor but please give yourself some slack and focus on something else, please, do it to yourself! Peace, utxeee. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mick50 Posted September 5, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2018 I actually think looking at your hair Payam in the recent pics, hair combed back, you will end up with a pretty good result ,post again at the 7 th month, I think you will see a nice improvement .

Payam Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thank you for your honest feedback guys, both negative and positive. I think I went into this thing thinking I would be a knock it out of the park great result with my hair thickness and number of grafts used, anything else didn't even cross my mind and everything from the unexpected parts of the surgery to the fever and cracks and now late progress has just sent me into a negative spiral. Since the consensus is I should calm down and wait, I will try to be rational and do just that, and I will post similar pictures in my updates with my hair wet and slicked back as well as dry. Again thank you for the help and honest feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice result in the end, did you see any new sprouts after 6 months? I'm guessing about a 30% increase in sprouts after the 6 month mark up to 12. Mainly textural and thickening changes though which were drastic, especially up to 8 months. The hair was between 50-60 microns.

Both helps tremendously to make the hair look better. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scalp is very visible right now and it's quite embarrassing, although this isn't unusual for six months from what I've seen, in some lights it looks like I'm still strongly receding on the non-slicked side. I will wait until next month for updates as every time I visit this forum I keep looking at other peoples progress which can be soul destroying as you know. I am still seeing a couple of sprouts here and there but despite this it's more and more apparent that I've had slow/no growth all over until this point, its more visible now that some of the hairs are thick and the gaps are more obvious. I'm still hopeful for the next two months though as you guys with more knowledge and experience have said It could improve considerably during this time Edited September 17, 2018 by Payam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member VicTNYC Posted September 21, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Payam said: Dry and combed back I agree, not bad for 6-months with many more to go. To me there looks to be more improvement from even looking at your Sept 5th post and photos to be honest with you, if a couple of weeks can improve this much then several more months will hopefully as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Legend007 Posted September 21, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2018 I understand the density isnt where u want it to be at this stage .. but the outline of ur hairline looks promising .. once those hairs thicken up u won’t be as disappointed as u were .. u got hope payam,.

Thank you man, but i was more thinking in line of your experience from other cases, lets say my situation didn't improve at all, how many additional grafts would i need to get an acceptable result with my hair calibre of 70 microns?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 5, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's definitely improving month by month, if you go back and look at your previous photos there is definite improvement, you're still at 6 months, try not to look at it weekly and wait until a full month passes.
