Enjoy your regained youth! thanks @Curious25 I completely agree with u on this. 2x2000 as better (IMHO, a lot more better) than 1x4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame you went conservative the first time round, I can assure you that, even if you know perfectly what you are looking for, when the head is sheaved is a completely different field. I knew I wanted to lower X on this side, Y on that side, starting from here to there Etc etc but when the head was shaved I was like blind and couldn't understand where my native HL was!

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted November 1, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hey @duchaine glad everything turned out well for you. Did you ever take pics of your donor area? I'm curious how it looks overall, but also how HLC's extractions compare to the couple hundred that Dr. Pekiner did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They calculalted 41 cm2, 50 UF/cm2, 2050 UF. Anyway, if you see the pics, I had my native hairs for about 20 cm2 so something doesn't add up. I'm also curious about this. I do often see HLC and Pekiner (probably other docs too, but these guys tell you exactly how densely they will pack each area) implant pretty deeply into existing hairs. I'm not sure why they would still do 50 grafts/cm2 if you already had hair in the area.. Did you ever find out more about that? Does that area where you had existing hairs feel a lot denser than before? Does it seem like > 50 grafts/cm2?

Yesterday I saw a very good HT performed by @Dr Blake Bloxham and he didn't go deeply among exiting hairs. I can say if they used 50UF/CM or if they used 30 where I had pre-existing hairs and 60/70 where I was bald...or if they just cheated on me about the real numbers!

Do you have more immediate post-op pics in high definition showing the grafts? It should be possible to do like @Rolandas and count them one by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never sent me anything! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sitries1 Posted January 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2021 You have had a great result there buddy. Really impressive!!! I want sue about HLC because of the fact you don’t know which doctor is doing the work but in another sense the fact that there are more doctors there at design stage and procedure stage means you g set the benefit of multiple doctors expertise. I really don’t think you need a 2nd HT to lose the hairline. It looks really dense and natural how it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
