Regular Member ecarlino Posted August 17, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) I had pretty significant hair loss to start with, so 3000 grafts (July 2017) can only accomplish so much. So, I just did another 1200 to get the hairline where I really wanted it..... For anyone considering FUE, all I can say is that my experience with Dr. Katona has been beyond my expectations and I just kick myself for waiting so long (I just turned 46). This is before the first: These are immediately after the first: and a few days after first: This was me 13 months after first and 2 days before second: morning of 2nd surgery, having established the plan with Dr. Katona: Evening of 2nd surgery: Edited August 17, 2018 by ecarlino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnCasper Posted August 20, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 20, 2018 Great photos. Looks like you have a lot to look forward to. You should have good results in a few months. One thing I would note.... everyone is different, but the growth after my second surgery was a bit slower than the first. So....don’t be discouraged or surprised if your new growth is a bit slower to appear. Just be patient. Keep us posted with pictures.

Regular Member ecarlino Posted August 22, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the info re: slower growth the 2nd time around! I started finasteride about 8 months ago - it will be interesting to see how my growth compares this time. I also took biotin for 6 months last time and just started that again - not sure if that's snake oil or not.... One thing i noticed, for anyone curious about FUE scarring - given this is my 2nd 'shaved head' - i can tell you that i don't see any sign of the first procedure in the donor area. Here's the 1 week update - left is evening of Day 6 and right is morning of Day 7, just after first washing of recipient area.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted August 23, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2018 I agree with you, when I had my second procedure there was no discernible evidence of scarring. I often post this picture showing where about 1,750 grafts were harvested. A 0.80 punch was used in the original surgery.
