He has produced a fantastic result with the 1st pass and shares your desire for perfection. Defo top tier surgeon. While it's true that all our faces are asymmetrical to a greater or lesser extent, there is enough evidence to indicate the closer to symmetrical you are the better. The caveat, perfect symmetry ie. a mirror image can look odd. For example, you have a mole on one side of your face, replicating it on the other side doesn't make you more attractive. Ideally, you have the main components of your face symmetrical with micro-irregularities within that structure. Below is your right side replicated on the left. I'll let the community to share their thoughts on the image. (I'd start a new thread linking back to your 1st surgery - keeps the presentation clean) ...that does look slightly better, would not have expected it tbh. This is already such an incredible result that I would probably still leave it be if I were you @Sitries1, but I'll keep (jealously) following your progress lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sitries1 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) OK chaps so the deed has been done!!!! Dr Ferreira was awesome today - he completley respected my wishes in terms of my chase for symmetry and although he said nothing can be made milimeter perfect he would do his best to get as close to my desired result as he could. He did caveat that though and say that perfect summetry may not necessarily yield a better result. Dr Ferreira recommended that we concentrate on perfecting the hair today becuase there was a fair amount of work involved (the beard will have to wait which suits me since the hair was my main priority). Anyway, we have not long finished and he has transplanted 1350 grafts and completely NAILED IT! My plan is to start a new thread for this 2nd transplant once I get the clinics photos through (this should be much quicker this time since Dr Ferreira's team has now grown and evolved to become more efficient). Here are a couple of photos so you can get the general idea of what's been done and the result achieved.

THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY GRAFTS total in your front third! Did you get the hairline lowered?

What's the distance to the glabella? The hairline has been lowered on one side by around 2.5mm I would say which has brought the symmetry pretty much perfect. On the other side he has scattered a few grafts slightly below where the old hairline was but I wouldn't say its enough to consider it a 'drop' on that side. I was surprised at how many grafts Dr F has managed to densely pack into the the area overall and density should end up being about as good as it can possibly get for a HT. I haven't taken any measurements currently as I want to let the swelling subside but healing wise everything is right on track. Its only been a couple of days and the donor is pretty much back to normal already and the work is super clean so I have lots of tiny little scabs which shouldn't take too long to fall off of their own Accord. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member NikosHair Posted December 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2022 @Rolandas Are you aware of any other Dr BF cases where this level of density has been carried out. We know @Sitries1has responded very well to the 1st procedure. I wondering if the doc is pushing new levels of density. Either way I'm sure the doc will be following the progress with interest.

Regular Member PutTheFolliclesInTheBag Posted December 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2022 Agreed 100%, I know I wouldn't have even heard of Ferreira if it hadn't been for @Rolandas! Still exciting to see what unreal results a surgeon like Ferreira can achieve under the right circumstances, I feel like your final result will be denser than the hair I had at 12 years old @Sitries1 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member NikosHair Posted December 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2022 Very little evidence of scarring from the first procedure. Whats the feedback from friends/fam?

Whats the feedback from friends/fam? Do they see the scars? Would you be confident to rock a buzz cut by choice? The scars from the 1st procedure are hardly visible at all to be honest. As I have light hair I think I'm pretty lucky in that regard. I've been getting high fades regularly without issue. Once this 2nd transplant grows in I'm going to play around with a few more hair styles but I'm thinking I may keep it shorter for a while rather than growing it long again straight away. We'll see. I'm also toying with the idea of starting meds........ Whilst I'm not keen on the idea, now that I've been through two procedures would I not be mad to safe guard against future loses...... I'm on the fence!? Dr F said that a high level of miniaturisation wasn't a concern at this stage so it wasn't essential for me to be on meds but it's defo at the back of my mind.

You have invested heavily in the front third (Not so much from the money side but more in terms of grafts). The meds would be a preventative measure for the mid scalp and crown. Only you know if there are any examples of thinning/balding in the immediate family. Play it smart and you may have a full head of hair for the rest of your life.👍 Edited December 22, 2022 by NikosHair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jl90 Posted January 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 Your hair looks great. Followed your threads and so happy for you. I have tried contacting Dr Ferreira but the waiting list isa year now! Probably due to your results! If the Dr says miniaturisation is not an issue for you just leave the meds alone and live a normal happy healthy life. You can look at it down the road if needs be. I had sides and had to go on hormones etc to get back to health. IMO if you start and get sides and something happens and you have to do what I did you could be worse of hair wise. I am not fear mongering. Some are fine, some aren't. Just trying to say that you have everything going for you now, killer result, you are a good looking dude. Just live the dream! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
