Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2022 You didn’t shave, personally, I think it’s a bad idea not shaving. I think some of the hair was shocked. I would give this until 18 months before passing full judgement. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Britanium Posted February 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) I’m not seeing a great amount of graft distribution here, and would have expected to see more implanted along the hairline.. it’s just not been done to a adequate density IMO. Is this from someone on the forums recommended list ? Edited February 22, 2022 by JC71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted February 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 Please just reassure me it wasn’t Dr Katona? 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2022 2,200 grafts were distributed diffusely. I’m not sure what your goals were, did you ask for overall density or just the hairline? I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 22, 2022 Guys, We do not have all the facts, number one, the hair is spread apart. Number two, he is only at 8 months. I would request OP take pictures with his hair not spread apart. @SadMan2021 Your overall demeanor has not been appreciated on this forum, all of your incel threads and negativity, this isn't some FA forum. Take that elsewhere. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member MachoVato Posted February 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2022 I admit it doesn't look very dense. It is still unfinished and you could be a later bloomer. It's hard to see the implanted density since you went with a no-shave option. That said, 2,200 grafts is a lot and I would expect more improvement at this stage. Obviously, keep your spirits up and give it more time. I would reach out to Panine for feedback. Perhaps if a top up procedure would be offered, that might be worth considering. good luck! 2 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
