Senior Member kirkland Posted November 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2021 If you provide pictures of your condition prior to your HT, that would help forum members better analyze the success of the surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kirkland Posted November 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2021 The results aren't bad - the hairline was re-built, there is added density throughout the mid-scalp and crown but overall, the density looks low. Your donor looks thinned out in many areas but you have a decent beard. You could get more volume in the crown with beard grafts alone and a boost in overall density from the donor. Have you been taking finasteride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been taking finasteride? I haven’t try to be honest scared of the side effects probably I have a friend that he try it but had sides effects and plus I’m trying to have a baby so I don’t know if that affects too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member kirkland Posted November 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2021 Fair enough and sorry - I had noticed in your original post that you had stopped taking fin. Your hairloss amount was similar to mine and I also recently had 3500 grafts. It's a lot of area to cover and you can't always achieve desired density in the first pass. The good thing is that you have good beard growth so if you choose a clinic that can do BHT, then you can get overall more density from the hairline to the crown.

Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted November 10, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 10, 2021 You have a clear improvement (at least with the buzz cut) from where you started. If your intention is to grow your hair out then I can see why you might want a second pass but if you're planning on rocking the buzz cut I don't see why you'd bother with the cost and hassle given the buzz looks good and suits you well - especially with the new hairline.

The so called A team for Europe 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surgery should always be a last resort and you don't look to me as though you need another surgery. I'd really avoid going the route of having surgery for surgery's sake. You may have a need down the line that you'll want to be in the best shape for. I'd say you had a pretty decent result from your first surgery. You may be able to improve on the result with topical finasteride (which may lessen the side effects) in combo with oral minoxidil. I believe this is the combination that Dr Bisanga of Belgium favours. Certainly don't be in any rush to have another HT - your hairloss isn't very significant and it's a diffuse pattern which makes it more challenging.
