Could you mention the price per graft and also why you did not go for FUE? Comes to about $5 per. i didn’t want multiple surgeries. FUE would require 2 sittings. i simply don’t think I wanted to go through it...and I hear FUT supposedly has better yield..but not so sure the guys that have done FUT told and showed me their scar and is undetectable . but would I ever do it again? No . i would probably do FUE the next go if I ever would go back to the table and try to cover up the scar in the process. if you want or need advice I’d suggest you create a thread, tell them about your history and post pics ... most people here are helpful.. you’ll always have a couple of dipshits here and there but 90% + here are good people.. if you need larger grafts amount people lean FUT but the technology is getting better and better where some clinics can do a shitload in one day (FUE) that would be an ideal choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Cahustler Posted July 30, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 5 months in. cant say I’m ecstatic. I have seen better 5 months results . I’m looking forward to month 6. I haven’t given up. Still using minoxidil and recently homemade minoxidil + finasteride . thinking about a possible Addition 6 month amnio injection if it doesn’t improve. Here is hoping for more coverage so I can at least do a freakin comb over of the crown... but I swear it does look better in person than under the camera... why is that?

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 I can see improvements from your starting out point. At 5 months now I’m sure it’s just going to keep getting better. Maybe your just a slower grower. You certainly chose a excellent Dr so I can’t see any reason why you won’t end up with a really good result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 I know what you mean though. Using a camera shows our hair in the worst possible light. I can look at my own hair and think oh yeh that looks ok... take a pic and think jeez where did my hair go ! 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Cahustler Posted December 23, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Well folks I apologize for not being on lately. Just going through tough times . I’m sure I’m not the only one here are some 9 months update. in short, the front top and sides are amazing as I see it. it’s just the crown that I’m not happy with. Although I see growth but I don’t think it’ll be much better. all in all I don’t regret the decision to get the procedure. In fact I haven’t been able to hand brush my hair back or style the front until now. if only they were able to extract more to fill the crown. It’s crazy but in my bathroom LED white lighting the back looks great. But reality in regular lights it’s obviously showing a lot of scalp. The front however I could not be more pleased. more to come and feedbacks welcome Edited December 23, 2020 by Cahustler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cahustler Posted December 23, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 Added one more . All is good until the very back where I see a lot of scalp. oh well. I just turned 50 so I’m guessing it’s not bad looking for being 50. funny story I tried to dye my hair burgundy and it didn’t work because of my dark hair. I went to the salon and told the salon gal it didn’t work. she said yes it worked your hair is all black, I said this is my regular color 😡😡😡 knock on wood , at my age it can grey any minute 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 23, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2020 The front looks absolutely awesome man 👊 as for the crown, it's not that bad. You will definitely need another procedure some day to work the crown. But the transformation has been dramatic. Sorry to hear about the hard times.

Senior Member Cahustler Posted December 23, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 not sure if i would want another procedure or be content at 50. If i get FUE can it cover up the FUT scar too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, you’re better off using concealers in the crown. Now that you got some hairs there, it’ll definitely work well. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Not a true fan of concealers although Dermatch works amazingly well for me. If i want to dress up one day and go all out i may consider. i still got a full thing of dermatch. i used it 4-6 months but i had a cap mostly. I am still using minoxidil and some topical homemade fin at the crown only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the front looks legit. You’ve definitely turned back the hands of time. Glad you came back and updated us. Hope everything starts to turn around for you.
