FarsanUk Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Just a quick update on the crown area. I'm 5.5 months post OP now. Certainly feels more hairier when I put my fingers through the crown. Crown was my biggest problem so hoping for more improvements over the next 3 months which In terms of new hairs popping is a very crucial period coming up. Will post a full update in a few months.

Senior Member Fozzie Posted March 21, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2019 Considering growth in the crown can often be slow compared to the frontal areas, think that's some decent progress at 5 and half months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DEB1982 Posted March 21, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2019 Bear in mind all of those hairs will also thicken up to massively create the illusion of density as well. At only 5.5 months, I think that is a brilliant improvement on hair count. My crown took the full 12 months to reach it's full potential. 1 First Transplant: 5000 FUE grafts with Dr Koray Erdogan ASMED, December 2016 First Hair Transplant link: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185564-5000-grafts-fue-13th-14th-december-asmed-dr-erdogan.html Hair loss regime Propecia 1mg daily Saw Palmetto 450mg daily Biotin 1000ug daily MSM 1500mg daily Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000mg daily 1% Nizoral shampoo weekly Lasercomb x 3 weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures are a bit flattering to be honest. Hoping things start looking more softer and natural in the front, I have corse hair so it's not ideal. It's not as dense as it looks on photos.Will post again at 7 months with full 360 degree photos including crown update.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2019 Everything looks good IMO. The crown may take a full 12-18 months to fully manifest.

Regular Member xadiohead Posted April 3, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm sure there will be some Asmed naysayers (some of which seem justified) come along shortly but this looks very impressive to me for 6 months!

What do your friends, family, coworkers say? Co workers never knew I had it in the first place as I always used fibres. If you look at my pre OP photos I had a lot of hair so was easy to use topikk. Friends think it looks normal but of course I know that it's not completely natural as it is pluggy and probably will require touching up next year. Itll thicken up over the next 3 to 4 months then I'll make a final judgement on the naturalness of the hairline (not overall maturity of the entire transplant as that will take longer) and take it from there.

Senior Member Kraistoff Posted October 24, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2019 Are you happy or unhappy ? the photos in the middle without wording : are they before or after? It seems like density is less behind hairline, but is this normal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its not normal i have spoken to 7 top surgeons in the field and other actual experts and each of them separately said it looks like some permanent shock and less than great graft survival, when you consider how much native hair i had this all makes sense. Please dont ask me anymore questions here as im banned. Edited October 24, 2019 by FSK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abi28 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 What a disaster, your crown looks almost the same after 2000 grafts, the yield must have been so low, I know how hard this is for you, I hope you find a solution, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Fozzie Posted October 24, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2019 Must admit, I'm surprised at how this procedure has turned out considering the previous progress photos. Things seemed to be heading in the right direction and remember seeing your 5.5 months picture of the crown and it looked to be coming along nicely but in these pics looks like growth has stalled. Frontal wise, I can definitely see the point about native hair being shocked. You still had a lot of native hair and apart from the crown, there wasn't what I'd call any real slick bald areas seeing as you were more of a Ludwig scale case rather than a Norwood one. Also believe you were on finasteride well before the procedure so also shows taking it unfortunately provides no guarantee that hair won't be shocked out. On a positive note, your donor area looks in good shape in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Vpac Posted April 9, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted April 9, 2020 I had a similar procedure to you with Asmed in 2016 but for 4000 grafts and my results were probably similar to yours, though I had more hair on top so it's not as sparse and when I style i it doesn't look that bad. Crown is still empty however. I am not completely unhappy with it but I was expecting better. Keep saving up brother and find a surgeon that actually does the surgery.
