9 months after HT, some problems.

[Patro1995]

Hello, I am 9 months after the transplant, I have been taking biotin, zinc, saw palmetto, and minoxidil for two months. The transplanted hair is very thin at the bottom, when I lift it up, you can see the difference, I still have empty holes in the hair, you can see in the photos, what can I do to improve it all? Because the effect is not very nice. ( yooretouch clinic Turkey, JACKSTRONGHAIR  ) . I have to struggle with microfibers...   When I put them down you can't see it, but if you lift this hair up, you can see it very much. Please help me something, greetings.

Density is sympathetic, but what kind of hairline design is this? 

[Berba11]

I'm not sure the density is your biggest issue here. You seem to have multi graft hairs in the hairline and the general shape of the hairline seems quite unnatural to me.

The density can be improved with a second pass later on.

What made you choose this particular clinic, out of interest?

EDIT: I thought your pictures looked familiar... You've posted pretty much the same thread every month. Why not just update one single thread instead of starting new ones? You've been asked before but seem to ignore the request.

Just refer to previous replies in previous threads. You've had a pretty dodgy hair transplant from god-knows where. The growth isn't too bad. No amount of Saw Palmetto or Biotin is going to make a bad HT look good.

Why did you pick this clinic?

[Z--]

Density is good, but that hairline really needs a repair. Like someone said, looks like multigrafts used and it's too straight, so it appears unnatural. I'd check out some top repair surgeons for the front.

my man get you a barber that doesnt give you a two tone haircut like that. you have to taper or blend it in which will soften the look on the hairline. i believe melvin has a video for cutting your own hair.

Yeah have to agree with everyone, not the greatest... very unnatural, I’d listen to the advice your been given and seek a repair.

[fitwhynot]

You might be able to hide this by styling it forward.

In any case, if you bring this up to your clinic they might try to offer you a second procedure at a discounted rate or something; I would decline this because the clinic simply seems not so qualified to provide a good result.

I would personally seek a repair from a qualified surgeon like Rahal.

[Britanium]

Jeez dude, another thread 🤨 You should seek out a decent Dr/Clinic for a repair, but take your time ! You simply can’t afford to take anymore risks. The work is poor, the hairline needs attention and maybe some grafts re implanted. We have all given you honest feedback every time (month) you post. You should go back and read what we have all been saying. Posting a new thread every time isn’t helping. We are just either repeating ourselves or asking the same information.

This must have cost 1500 euro (unlimited grafts/as many as needed) , 5star Hotel included, pick from/ to airport, and girls/boys in their early twenties in a doctors robe doing 95% of the work.

but I don't have a haircut here, I can cover with microfiber, there is no such tragedy as you say, I will put my hair in a nice hairstyle and it's okay. I'm not going to be jumping clinics all the time and spending a lot of money. I've been in cheaper so I knew it wasn't going to be perfect, I'm just annoyed with these spaces, I'll start taking finasteride in a while, maybe it'll get better, I've seen worse cases and a lot of it, you don't have to make me so sad.

With toppic

Or something like this, without toppik

Being honest the hairline shape is somewhat odd. 
It's too much of a V shape.  I'm in no way an expert with hair transplants but I always thought the more "rounded" shape looked more natural.

 

Something is bothering me about the sides too, not sure what.
It could be due to the hairline shape.

 

In regards to the "patchiness" through the hair itself, have you considered some micropigmentation to blend it better?

You mean micropigmentation, tops of heads in empty spaces? or on the sides?

What you're referring to is the density (the spaces). The reality of hair transplants is that you can only create so much density on the first go. If you want more density, you'll need another top up transplant.

Just don't go to whoever did yours!

[TEXAN35]

 

I don't see density as being a huge problem for you at leaset not evident in the pictures. Transplant cannot bring teen density back.

Its the hairline shape.

It seems you are frowning in most of your pics which make the V shape of your hairline probably more prominent than it is.

It may also be that V shape doesn't go well with almost shaved sides. Also V shape needs good temples to go with. Your hairline and temples may need some more work will will improve the overall appearance a lot. Time to consult a good hairline expert. Not sure how long people have to wait between 2 transplant but I think usually around 15-18 months.

In the donor area itself.

A lot of people get micropigmentation over FUE/FUT scars to hide any visible scaring.
This is great if you're over harvested or patchy in the back which sometimes occurs after a second transplant.

Yea the density isn't too bad at all. The hairline shape is the standard default 'M' shape that cheap Turkish hair mills do on literally every patient (regardless of their facial features), albeit this is one of the more exaggerated M's I've seen.

@Patro1995 What's making it appear worse than it otherwise would is the incision sites have been made in straight rows. It's not evident in the post op pics in the main because it's all a bit bloody, but if you look at the small number of grafts placed within the central forelock, you can clearly see the diagonal rows. If you then hone in on other recipient areas, you can just about make out similar rows of hairs. This isn't how the grafts should be placed ideally. Think about how a forest looks naturally. If you stand on the edge and look through the forest, it's hard to see very far because all of the trees and bushes are all over the place and create coverage. Now imagine taking the exact same number of trees and bushes and putting them in straight rows. If you stand at the edge and look down between two rows - like aisles in a supermarket - you'll see all the way down. Same number of trees/obstacles )or, in this case, hairs!) - big difference in the perception of density. Finasteride won't fix this. If you want more density then you need a top-up procedure. That's your only permanent solution. Otherwise just use hair fibres.

I agree you should get a lower fade.  It seems to high - low or mid fade would suit better.
