Senior Member BjornBorg Posted October 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2020 So you're saying he was willing to perform a second surgery after just 7 months? Another massive red flag. Please do what people are saying. This is your life we are talking about. Go to a top clinic. Save money for two-three years and during that time spend a couple of hours every week doing research on this forum. If you can't afford Konior or HW prices then go to someone in Spain or Belgium. It's nice to get comments that are designed to not make you stressed but in a couple of years you'll be forever grateful to the honest comments. 2 My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted October 27, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hey man, I haven’t been on the forum much lately but just saw your previous updates and I do see some improvement and your donor looks good in your last photos. That said, you likely have another 4-10 months of the current transplanted hair to mature and thicken more so...so I definitely have to agree with @BjornBorg’s comment above....wait a bit more, save up money to go to a different surgeon that can maximize your limited grafts better to give you the results you hope for....don’t rush it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dangrowthfactor Posted October 28, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2020 Thanks Bjorn and Kramer. All of you guys actually. Came close was only several days away from another procedure. incredibly grateful for the honest feedback. It’s a waiting game now to see what will come in. Dr. Told me 90% has come in and I should not expect much more density from where it is now. Will wait a year as he first suggested to see where I am. time to sit back, sprinkle some magic hair powder dust on my hairline, Rogain foam, chew finasteride like skittles and research. I will keep updating 👍🏻 Be well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dangrowthfactor Posted November 20, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello brothers - here is a quick update. I need to find a reputable doc near or around Boston for a consultation. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted November 20, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2020 This is a strange thread...you found this forum. Get honest feedback and ask for a clinic in Boston. Why do you not use this forum for your own sake? Several other mentioned it before: The first transplant was poor in all regards: Design of hairline, amount of grafts and donor treatment. I would not go to this clinic even if the pay me 100 k€. If you cannot afford the better US/Canada clinics: There is a thread with a lot of names from Europe/Turkey in here (best FUE clinics or so). A lot of clinics like HLC, Ferreira, ... will give you a way better result with probably lower prices than a no-name hairmill in the US. 2 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dangrowthfactor Posted November 20, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 20, 2020 Thanks Melvin wouldn’t mind a trip to nyc. I’ll pay more for a reputable place. There is a global pandemic- until that vaccine is out and tested- I’m not going to turkey or Europe. I can drive to New York take about 4 hours or so.

Senior Member ndubya Posted January 24, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 24, 2021 I think that you got decent yield for the amount of grafts used. Now go find a topnotch surgeon and fix/finish it off. Wishing you the best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member bricvic Posted January 27, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think you had ok growth for the amount of graphs you got. Not great as others have said, but it could have been much worse. Also, in your next HT, ask the Doctor about restoring your temple points as well as adding density . I think it will make a big difference. If your in Boston, you could could probably fly Spirit down to Myrtle beach for under $100, rent a car and drive to Dr. Vories in Charleston in about 4 hours. He's probably the most affordable recommended Doctor on the East coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted March 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 @Dangrowthfactorhows it looking now ? I’m guessing your not far off the 12 months.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dangrowthfactor Posted March 4, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the input fellas ! I’ll post a pic with hair pulled back and other updates. It’s crazy to think I will be at the 1 year mark on the 10th if this month! So far seems consensus of feedback is that definitely should get a second procedure, add to density. Idea of addressing the temple points as well as density. The yield is good for the amount of grafts however that’s the silver hair-lining of this. I appreciate all the comments and guidance. I have not had any consults or tried to fully research a second surgery yet but it’s something I want to do! Finish the job I started just about a year ago. Time flies. One year results on the 10th 🙌🏻💪🏻Curious as to what you guys think hope you’re all safe and well! Thanks again Edited March 4, 2021 by Dangrowthfactor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dangrowthfactor Posted March 10, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2021 1 year ago today I finished my FUE 1400 grafts. Started at 8:00am, finished at 4 or so. Thought I would be back at work after a week off- then lock down hit. Good timing for the transplant 😂 - This was procedure 1 of a discussed two part process spaced a year apart. - the first 6 months of the ugly duckling phase was brutal. It looks better now than before. It’s still incomplete so I feel I have not fully exited the ugly duckling phase just yet - I have not had a fresh cut in a month, I will post update with a cut soon. - these pictures of hair with 5% Minoxidil Foam product on scalp. If you have used it you know it can make hair look dry/clumpy. I combed the hair which helps. a link to short video combing hair back: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LQhLkyk5ss85W3ugC3MNhHK4k2G7tXfX/view?usp=drivesdk Hope all are well!

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted March 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2021 You definitely look better. I would recommend going to a reputable surgeon that has done a few repair cases and can add a bit more density between the transplanted and native hairs. For the time being have you looked into using toppik? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2021 It looks better, another touch up will definitely get you looking great. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Balding Bad Posted October 6, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2021 Wow, just read this entire thread and gotta say it was a roller coaster ride indeed. As I was reading I was shaking my head out of sheer frustration, saying to myself "I hope this dude didn't go back to the same doctor." And then as I keep reading I see you had ANOTHER operation scheduled with him, despite all these fine folks telling you not to! That upset me greatly...but then lo and behold you pull out of the second operation on the 11th hour! Hallelujah! You're a personal trainer so how frustrating is it when you instruct your clients with sound advice only for them not to listen? That's essentially what I felt when I read this entire thread, but the good news is you finally listened and there's hope that you will go to a more qualified/reputable doctor! Anyways I found myself quite invested in your journey. That being said, I'm a bit disappointed to see there's been no updates sine March. Is everything okay? Are you still on the search for a doctor? Do you need a morale boost? Please let us know! That's what we're all here for! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
