Regular Member chicago2017 Posted April 25, 2018 Regular Member Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Hi All, I would like to hear your opinion about my hair transplantation results. I had 3,125 FUT grafts with 2000 3 and 3+ hairs. 1st picture - before HT 2nd - 3 months 3rd - 12 months 4th - 14 months Thanks in advance Edited April 26, 2018 by chicago2017
Senior Member razzy Posted April 25, 2018 Senior Member Posted April 25, 2018 Are these all 14 month post op result pictures? It’s difficult to give you an opinion without clearly marked pictures and not including pre op pictures and/or pictures with graft placement. HT#1 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2012) - 4700 grafts HT#2 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2014) - 1800 grafts HT#3 - Dr. Konior (Jan 2018) - 1200 grafts
Senior Member Shera Posted April 25, 2018 Senior Member Posted April 25, 2018 Hi Chicago, You should include your pre op pics if you want an accurate opinion. But it does look like you could do with another pass over the whole area.
Senior Member voxman Posted April 25, 2018 Senior Member Posted April 25, 2018 There is no way anyone can tell you anything intelligent without pre-op pictures to compare it to. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
Regular Member chicago2017 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Regular Member Posted April 25, 2018 I apologize for not providing details. 1st picture - before HT 2nd - 3 months 3rd -12 months 4th - 14 months
Senior Member razzy Posted April 26, 2018 Senior Member Posted April 26, 2018 I definitely see some growth but question the number of grafts. You had a large area to cover and we all know the crown takes a lot of grafts to get an ideal result. Have you spoken to your surgeon? HT#1 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2012) - 4700 grafts HT#2 - Dr. Rahal (Jan 2014) - 1800 grafts HT#3 - Dr. Konior (Jan 2018) - 1200 grafts
Senior Member Shera Posted April 26, 2018 Senior Member Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Hi Chicago, You seem to have lost a few more hairs in the mid scalp region since your op. This area looked quite strong in your first picture so I'm not quite sure why it was implanted as shown in your post op pic. It was risky and there is the possibility you may have suffered some shock loss in this area from the trauma caused by the surgery. I would say from your pre-op photo to your 14 month picture there is some improvement to the crown area but as mentioned either you have suffered from shock loss to your mid scalp behind your hairline or your balding has generally become more aggressive. Your hair thickness too seems really fine which isn't helpful in creating the illusion of a full set of hair, however for 3,125 grafts, I would have expected better coverage. You might want to wait till 18 months to judge the crown area properly. I would look into medications to slow down future loss and try to recover some native hairs. I would also consider another surgery of about the same amount of grafts to increase the overal density of the crown and midscalp. Edited April 26, 2018 by Shera
