Senior Member Style22 Posted August 29, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 29, 2022 Hey guys here is the one year update. Would be curious what everyone thinks? There are some things I love like the naturalness. And some things I’m not in love with. I still think it’s a big improvement from where I began! Very grateful to SMG for that.

Regular Member Rynomite13 Posted August 30, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 30, 2022 I made a little before and after comparison for ya! 🙂 Definitely some great improvement to feel positive about! Do you have any pics of your hair at the current length prior to the procedure to compare as well? Also, what is it you're not as in love with you would like to improve further? Thanks for sharing!

Senior Member RTC Posted August 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 30, 2022 Good improvement for sure. Are you gonna get the mid scalp done? Hattingen September 2023 - Punchouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt I have another transplant or two in my future. However I’m not planning on getting another one anytime soon. I can still “get away with it” in mid scalp and crown with fibers. I’ll wait it out as long as I can and see how things progress. I’m definitely happy right now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I’ll check and see if I have some pics. As far as what I’m not in love with I’d say it’s still fairly noticeable that the density/growth on the left side is way better than the right side. Also, the hairline shape that was a slight concern at the beginning. All and all though I’m happy with the result! No doubt about that and no regrets going with SMG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hybonix Posted September 8, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2022 Based on the pictures, this is a huge improvement. You could probably undergo a second surgery if you really want to pack/fill things in. However, this looks like a great result to me and is super natural.

Senior Member Style22 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 8, 2022 I definitely feel like I have to be very careful and hold off on a second procedure until absolutely necessary! I doubt I have more than 2500-3000 grafts left in my donor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Balding Bad Posted September 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2022 Thanks for the update, looking good! But I do see what you mean about wanting a potential 2nd procedure in the future, still it's a solid improvement! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Z-- Posted September 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2022 The front is very natural and looks great. Agree that the midscalp can use some work, but this surgery created a fantastic foundation for you. I think one more surgery and you're golden.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 12, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 12, 2022 This result is natural as natural can be. 👌The hairline shape to me is what makes it look natural. It’s asymmetrical as you find in nature. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member needmyhairback Posted March 29, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 29, 2023 Left side looks good but right side looks thin. Have you talked to the doctors about the low density on the right side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Style22 Posted September 5, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2023 Hey guys wanted to provide a 2 year update with pictures. I included different lighting and also some pics from a 0 fade I received today to show scarring for anyone wanting to see fue scars. Also pics highlighting weaker spots. All in all though still believe I improved my look! I’ve lost a little bit of ground overall. Honestly really struggling with finasteride side effects. The oral version works best but get the worst sides. I’m currently micro dosing a topical fin/min product from Dr. Yaker in Texas. I know there are more transplants in my future but currently trying to see where my loss is heading and evaluating best options over the next several years.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 5, 2023 Administrators Share Posted September 5, 2023 Looks solid, I think it’s pretty much the same. Have you tried oral min?
