I think I look pretty fucking good with what I've got. You can only do so much with a hairline like mine. Let's see your hairstyle Bro your hair looks amazing lol, and that style is currently killing it.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) 10.5 months. Extremely see through and basically looks no different from the before pictures on the top. I don't have a hairline and obvious gap of baldness splitting right in the center of my hairline. Very bad result for 5000 grafts and where I started. If you look closely at the top picture you can still see the pinkness of the recipient area. Which is fine but it just goes to show you where the recipient area and hairline were supposed to be and how little hair grew.

Yeah because I mean I still see good results coming from them like in a couple posts recently there were some patients that had 4-5000 grafts and the result/improvement was really big. I just can't believe how unlucky I am to have had such shitty results like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2019 I probably need 2000 in the frontal forelock area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 19, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2019 In my opinion, your hair looks fantastic when styled. I don’t see you needing many grafts to achieve your desired look, but be careful. Always remember that hair transplants will never bring back original density. You may always see some weaknesses depending on lighting etc. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) No I had 5000 grafts. That lack of hairline is very bad for that many grafts were used. The yield was clearly low. I don't expect original density but my hairline is see through and there really isn't even a distinct angular hairline because the density is too low Edited September 19, 2019 by Der3k7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am saying that currently your hair doesn't look bad. That said, yes for the grafts used, it is obvious the yield was sub-par. I think that your hair looks night and day difference when it's styled, that's probably why you were suggested a different hairstyle. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 Can taking a lot of ibuprofen in the first 2 weeks after a hair transplant cause the grafts to not take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you taking very high doses? What for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member munich Posted September 19, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 You really want go back ? I mean your donor reserves aren't infinitely ...be careful about future loss. One more failure and it will be very difficult to rescue the whole situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 I had a lot of pain in my donor area from both surgeries for like 2 weeks and I usually need 800mg of ibuprofen to feel relief from pain. I did that 3 times per day as needed as I felt pain creep back in after 6 hours for 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I just saw your results thread and you had bad results like mine. Did you decide on a different clinic to go try again? If so what surgeon? I'm feeling very uneasy about going back to asmed to be honest. I already bought the plane ticket too so I'd have to throw that away if I decide not to go and to use a different surgeon and I'll also have to pay another surgery cost. What do you think?

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 If I WERE to decide to go to a different surgeon instead of the free touch up, what surgeons have the highest chance of a great result in the world?

Senior Member BaldingBogger Posted September 19, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2019 Theres no way ibruprofen would have affected your growth. The biggest cause of poor growth is poor handling of the grafts and trauma to them in the transplantation process via handling or scabbing. Also you weren't the unlucky one to have poor growth. Online forums are probably not a balanced reflection of the quality of results. Theres way more sub par results out there that kept off the forums with patients getting touch ups and not updating forums. Although consistency appears to be improving in general there are still no guarantees with either FUE/FUT. At least you don't have a strip scar if you ever wanted to buzz down.

What you want is to minimise as much risk as you can and have a Dr who will do as much as the procedure as possible themselves.. Clinics also like , Lupanzula spring to mind too in hands on Doc's.. The 2 things that always made me steer clear of clinics like ASMED are they use way too many grafts for area covered .. Not entirely sure if you get what you pay for really. Also technician led surgeries for me a no no. Not doubting they can get good results but too many variables.. Theres another clinic where the Dr caps it at 500 grafts a day but gets top notch results each time so could be 4 day surgery but high chances.. Cant recall his name now .. hopefully someone can chime in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
