Regular Member heckenpenner Posted May 23, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 23, 2019 Now it is day 229 - 7,5 month post surgery. My hair did grow a lot in the meantime and I am really happy with the current status. My life did change a lot and i would always do surgery again. The crown is stil not perfect and i hope that more hair will come - but also with current status i am more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairlossPA Posted May 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2019 dramatic improvement. the crown takes more grafts than average to look “full” so don’t get discouraged. you may need a second pass if you want to fill it more. looks good though. age appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Fozzie Posted May 24, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2019 Impressive transformation from where you started and still only at 7.5 months. With regards to the crown, think it's always going to be difficult to get it right after one procedure if you are balding extensively I don't know what it is with ASMED, they just seem to do better with these kind of high norwood cases (obviously not all cases). Could argue the bar is set lower with regards to the expectations of patients who are going in already having lost most of their hair and it won't take too much too please them but nonetheless, as a neutral, progress and results like these still look good. Almost as though they do their best work on more of a blank canvas. Why they haven't been able to translate this kind of result to patients requiring, on paper, simpler, smaller procedures recently is strange. I know the experience of the technicians has been called into question and definitely has it's merit's but I'm beginning to think there's more to it than just that. Can't help but feel there's a technical failing somewhere in the approach. Are they trying to over compensate in patients who still have a lot of hair (to try and get as close to their natural density as possible) with higher graft numbers but this is having the opposite effect and grafts ares simply not surviving? Maybe other surgeons/clinics are relying more on the artistic aspect/placement of grafts using lower numbers to get better results (believe in most cases it's only really Dr's performing most of of the procedure with years of experience who can pull this off) whereas ASMED are more about higher numbers but it's causing issues with graft survival, who knows. Cases like that patient on youtube who had 2000 grafts in the temples but had very poor progress at 9 months does make you think. 1000 grafts in each temple does sound too much on paper and just wonder if it resulted in the majority of grafts simply not surviving. Anyway, ASMED look to have done a good job in this particular case with things progressing well and good to see the OP is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member heckenpenner Posted May 31, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2019 @Fozzie and @hairlossPA - thanks for you good feedback 🙂 @hairlossPA maybe different teams, maybe different tactics / densities depending on hairloss status. I am happy that i have a good result, anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member axor Posted October 22, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2019 Cool bro ! I was wondering, why do you take the supplements below your signature ? I asked around these forums if any supplements are needed after hair transplant and these guys said no. So ?! Also what type of k2 u take ?
