Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted June 2, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2020 Does anyone have any thoughts on doing SMP in the donor area? It's still noticeably thinner at shorter lengths, and i'm thinking that quarantine might be a good time to get it touched up. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted June 5, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2020 A few more donor pics. Decided against SMP. Bought some Dermmatch to test it out, but overall i think i just need to keep my hair a bit longer. Dermmatch could come in handy post-haircut if they go too short.

The top though, holy hell is that impressive. I’m glad it worked out for you man, after the first result- this is the result you deserved. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted June 7, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Your result is amazing and it looks great! Average Joe should be happy with 80 % of your result. Therefore, I think, one can be honest about the donor: - Even when I put the bigger diameter aside (which has a plus and a minus) - Even when I put the asymmetrical extraction aside (which in your case with a previous FUE is completely nonsense IMO). - Grafts where harvested from an area which they should not have been harvested from. Diep went to close to the boundaries of the donor and particularly to close to the area above your ears. This area was either thin from your previous surgery or (this is what I actually believe) thin from begin with. My donor is far above average and still my clinic did not take grafts from one particular area as the bone there sticks out from the remaining skull which would make it look thin when buzzing the area short. It is the little things which separates good from great clinics. 2 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Qneedhair Posted June 7, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2020 Results are really good. If the over-harvested areas bother you too much why not have some body hair grafted to the thin areas? Looks like you have an ample beard or even using body hair have been successful in scar areas but make sure you know a Dr that specializes in body to scalp hair transplants. Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted October 31, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2020 Wanted to get the group's thoughts on a potential FUE from my left donor to right donor to even out the thinness. Not surprisingly, taking grafts from one side leaves that side thinner--even with my donor area ~2 inches. I'm thinking something like 500 grafts above the ear area could reduce the contrast. My buddy had an Artas FUE with Dr. Alexander and that turned out well. Thoughts on strategy, doctor, recommendations? 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reached out to a few docs to get some options. I'm assuming the options will be: 1. Nothing 2. Fue scalp hair from left side 3. Fue beard hair 4.
