I doubt it . Not as if I could make a holiday out of it 25 minutes ago, Der3k7 said: They probably want to give all their new techs practice!!! Lol Not sure, but i only need about 1000 grafts I think. I have to grow my hair long to be able to cover the bald patch behind the hairline so disappointing in that respect, but still looks good when Hair is long and much better than before.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted March 12, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2020 The Corina virus scare is blown way out of proportion. For young healthy individuals the death rate is the same as the flu. It's really only dangerous with a higher death rate if you are old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 12, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2020 I don’t think it’s fear of the actual illness itself, but the spread. It seems to be spreading like wildfire. If we’re looking at the facts, the chance of death is very low, especially in young adults and children. The flu is more dangerous for young adults and children. But the fear is spreading it to someone who could die, like older family members etc. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted March 16, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2020 So everyone . clinic has been in contact and I am debating whether to return to sort the density behind hairline out. i was given a reason for the poor result by the surgeon which did kind of help me think I’ll be ok second time around . i have asked that if I do go back I get the most experienced team working on me , which I don’t think is unreasonable given the circumstances my last hair cut was cut too short and was messed up, but you can see the difference in density well now .

You can find results from all over and speak to different people about their experiences. Many will have logs which run for a year + showing them in all sorts of conditions i.e. wet hair, sunlight, beach etc etc. Where are you finding these instagram posts? I just find ads when I search those hashtags.. 21 minutes ago, Kraistoff said: This is a very bad photo and it really does look crap.

I would be very careful with where you spend your remaining follicles. I might even hold off altogether on revision and see how the rest of your hair loss sits for a few years. There is no good that comes from making decisions from emotions or too quickly when it comes to hair. Edited March 17, 2020 by bismarck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon 70% of the grafts grew. Look back through photos from December and you will see how good my hair looked before the bad hair cut even still, id prefer to bolster the front and hope finasteride does it’s thing on the crown. If I bald at the back later so be it, I’ll have a decent frontal third but a bald patch at the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were in your situation, I might consider saving up for one of the Spanish or Belgian docs and use Toppik in the interim. It will give you and your hair some time to evolve and reflect.
