#2 Hair Transplant discussion

[morgulsblade]

Hey all,

I had a hair transplant in 2015 (2300+ fue) (so long ago already :D) and the results were amazing. I regained full head of hair and my curls. I was also very happy from all the nice reactions i got on this forum.

Sadly, i experienced a terrible shed after I switched from liquid (with ppg) to foam (without ppg) minoxidil, and did not recovered from this (i also dropped foligain tabs though - perhaps this also had some effect - but unsure)

Some time went by and although i have a lost a lot of hair, I'm still very happy with the results from the first hair transplant, and i would probably be fully bald on top if it wasn't for this decision. When i use hair fibers it looks really nice.

I have booked a second hair transplant for September, here they are going to extract 3000+ grafts (i have attached some pictures of my current donor, but they said that i have enough - in the future i could even resort to beard grafts should it be necessary). I have attached an image on the current plan on how we are going to use the grafts. Feel free to comment and discuss, I for one are very happy with this plan, as i also don't mind using hair fibers (but i need some hair for em).

The plan is to:

add 20 grafts/cm2 to the area behind the hairline. 

add 25 grafts/cm2 to the midscalp towards to first half of the vertex

add 10 grafts/cm2 to the lower part of the vertex

I'm happy with my hairline (but perhaps i could use a few more in there - this is still something i'm thinking off)

Furthermore, i restarted minoxidil, foligain tabs and added regenepure (1% keto) to my regime.

Happy to hear from you guys.

Are you going with the same clinic? They said you have 7000 grafts left correct?

Yeah i'm going for the same clinic. They said around 7000 at the time. But I think it's hard to estimate the real number of grafts left (without proper analysis), and 7000 does seems a bit overkill I think :D. My donor does still looks thick, even when i shave it down to a few mm. So I hope 3000+ does not thin it out too much.
