wes82 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Hello y’all, here are a few photos of my journey. I had my procedure done March 2020, note that I booked it about 18 months prior. I’m overall very happy with the area that was covered however not so happy with the donor area ( extractions were done by a tech). If I were to go for a second procedure to add density in the future, I don’t think that I would pick the same clinic again. We pay top $ thinking we’re getting a great Doctor only to find out that a Tech does half of the work. I will Not be mentioning the name of the clinic at the moment. I just wanted to share my results with everyone. Note that the spot missing hair that I circled is from childhood. Almost forgot I’m 40 and started losing hair around 27 or so.

Regular Member Swedishdude Posted May 21, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2021 Looks great man! How many grafts did you end up using? Yeah the donor area doesn't look too great. Maybe you could return and ask them what that's all about. We are paying big stacks after all lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairlosscpa Posted May 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 thats typical fue scarring and it will look visible at that buzzed length you have, but I can see your concern. Growing your hair out a little more may solve the issue. work looks great to me. 1 1st Procedure, Oct. 2012 - 1,704 grafts FUT w/Dr. True 2nd Procedure, Sept. 2015 - 2500 grafts FUE w/Dr. Vories FUE Progress - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/180966-my-experience-w-dr-vories-2-500-grafts.html FUE 1 year result - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/184716-1-year-results-2-500-grafts-w-dr-vories.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member nicoandgello Posted May 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 high graft number for nw3 + techs doing most of the work + great result tells me your surgeon was dr Hasson. Your donor looks decent, just keep it 3mm longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mark Wolfer Posted May 22, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 Unbelievably good result congrats. I bet some SMP into the donor area would go a long way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted May 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2021 No reason not to mention the clinic especially since you said you would not return for a subsequent procedure. This forum is established to help guide those in need of information on potential surgeons. Showing a result that you're apparently unhappy with does nothing but stir the pot. All surgery leaves scars. FUE is not scarless and your expectations may have been unattainable if you expected to have a zero fade with no signs of extraction. Bosley 11-2016 FUE - 1,407 grafts Dr. Diep 09-2017 FUE - 2,024 grafts Dr. Konior 03-2020 FUE - 2,076 grafts Dr. Konior 09-2021 FUE - 697 scalp to scalp, FUE - 716 beard to beard Total scalp FUE - 6,204 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mycroft Posted May 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2021 Honestly, this donor area looks fine. I'm not 100% sure what your expectations were in this regard but with hair that short scarring is going to be visible no matter how good extractions are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes82 Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 BDK081522 I did say say that I’m very happy with my results. What I wasn’t happy with is that we pay top $ for an excellent Clinic(Doctor) only to find out that Techs do half of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
