Hm... How ironic but I like how it looks on you without the beard.
Nonetheless, still nice beard transplant. -

Thanks for the reply. I’m glad to hear that this is normal, because I love the #2 guard and I’ll do SMP or even FUE reversal to be able to do it. I still think the extractions should have been more spread out, but at least I can expect some real improvement. Yea, regarding the pitted appearance: I was obsessed enough that I managed to find some fairly close up pics of someone’s recipient area after a transplant from a top doc, where there was a pitted appearance. What a relief that was. I’ll add them to my “is this pitting” thread in case someone else is similarly obsessed with their pitted appearance in the future. My recipient area is basically ok now. I’m hitting the gym today and will be doing so 5 days per week to focus my anxiety on the core powerlifts. It helps a lot. This place is like a support group, as well as being great for information. I really appreciate all of the great help and solid analysis and information. -

Dear Tressful We read your post with great interest and disappointment. Disappointment because you didn't get the desired result, are visibly unhappy and rightly so. Sometimes, despite doing thousands of successfully surgeries, the next one doesn't come out as expected. It's an uncommon but not a totally unique phenomenon. We regret it and are ready to offer any assistance that we may provide. Secondly, we are deeply saddened by the kind of language used (crooks) as we take particular care to be conservative in our hair transplant counseling, educate our patients about benefits and risks of medication and not hurry into a surgical intervention. By Gods grace, we have enough work and do not need to fish for patients. Interesting because, the points mentioned by you go totally opposite to our approach. In our practice, we always discourage patients when it comes to vertex (crown) area hair transplant as it consumes a lot of grafts and results are not as gratifying as the front. Secondly we always wait for maturation of baldness before we do a hair transplant on the crown and strongly push for medication before surgery. A lot of patients can testify that. Despite this if the crown is a major concern for the patient, we either do it under cover of medication or inform our patients that baldness may progress. When doing mega sessions 4000+ grafts, we either recommend beard hair, or FUT+FUE or 2 sessions separated 6 months apart. We make it a point to stress to our patients that FUE is not a scar less surgery (as routinely propagated) and we have videos on YouTube explaining this. We specifically say, that no matter what some blogs say, if the hair is cropped short (below no.2) patchiness will be visible. You need to keep the hair 1.5 cm plus on both recipient and donor site for an aesthetically pleasing look. So based on these observations, we request you to kindly share your name or number or date of surgery, so that we may look into the matter and do necessary investigations into what went wrong , the specific communication with you and any rectification or improvement in our SOPs This information will be useful for us to improve ourselves in future Lastly, we don't believe that age is a criteria for hair transplant. It's the extent of baldness and future progression. The cut off of 25 years ad mentioned in some blogs is totally random and arbitrary and hence no scientific backing -

I highly recommend *vera clinic* for several reasons.
First of all, I would like to thank the crew of the clinic for their outstanding services and helping me and my brother with every single step of the surgical process before and after. The crew was very hospitable and made us feel very comfortable and less stressed due to the operation.
They also were clear about every single detail involved in the procedure, so things went easy/smooth and not confusing at all.
I also wanna thank them for following up with me weeks after the surgery and for trying to check up and me and my hair growth improvement etc.. they make you feel more like part of their clinic family than just a patient. I highly recommend their clinical services as I am more than my satisfied and my brother as well.

Looks fine to me. Very common to have some shock loss in donor for several months after. I had the same and it all grew back by month 4 or so. I feel the trauma of the surgery just screws with the remaining donor sometimes and causes some hairs to stop growing as quickly or even altogether for a few months. They do resume growing eventually. That isn’t pitting in your other pics, either. I got scared about that same pocked appearance after my first HT because I hadn’t noticed it in other peoples’ pics. I soon realized, as you said, that it’s impossible to pick up the surface in such detail unless you get the right lighting and angle....which 99.9 percent of people who take update pics don’t capture. I then went back and looked at peoples’ update pics who took really up close pics and noticed they all had this pocked appearance after all. It looks knarly (especially if you had no hair there before) for several months but my skin is 100 percent healed and completely normal in these areas now (which it doesn’t matter as my transplanted hair covers it now). The pitted and shiny skin was definitely my biggest fear at first because I simply didn’t know that was normal due to everyone else’s pictures not picking this up. Skin takes a long time to heal....like a year.
