parmesan Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I wanted to get the community's thoughts and comments on my FUE decision. Attached are before-FUE and post-FUE Day 7 pics. I decided to go for a conservative hairline - 1,250 grafts in the crown and another 1,250 in the front. I am 39 years old. I have not taken propecia or minoxidil. Donor area has mostly healed but still have some burning sensation (2or3 on a scale of 1 to 10). Hoping to go back to work in 2 days. Feel free to tell me what you think.

Senior Member hairlossPA Posted July 6, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2018 I guess you have to have realistic expectations. It wont be super dense, but you might have nice coverage if you are lucky. I'm a little concerned with how it'll look with the hair in the middle section and how well it blends. Be ready to lose more hair... Good luck and keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parmesan Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks. for the reply. Day 12 now and feels like my natural hair near the recipient areas are not growing. very patchy. Is this normal/expected? Any suggested remedies? see pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 10, 2018 Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2018 Who was the surgeon? Did you ask for these areas to be covered specifically? IMO you should have rebuilt the hairline and midscalp first and left the crown for last. With that said, I hope everything turns out well happy growing.

Ideally I would have rebuilt the hairline first and then crown. But I don't know if I will be able to spend this much again. Given my financial constraint, I decided to take a conservative approach and asked Dr. Vo ries if he could do both crown and frontal hairline in this setting and this is the coverage he came up with. Can't go back and change my request. So, I don't have very high expectations. I am hoping it will provide me with some coverage and look natural. He did say that he could add density to the mid scalp/crown later if I wanted to (which I did not know was possible). Any thoughts on coverage and patchy growth? I started on finasteride last week.
