Regular Member sbguy01 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just cut my own hair a few days ago, so the back donor area looks thin. Didn't take a picture of the back before haircut. My wife tells me it doesn't look so "choppy" in real life and she doesn't see any noticeable donor problem areas. And this side picture is from before the hair cut. Compared to pre-op, I'd say donor area recovery quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted October 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I don’t think 2k grafts is enough for that amount of hairloss double that is needed did doc say that you’ll need a second procedure Edited October 17, 2022 by Dillpickle123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted October 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 Konior is a true gentleman. It’s no surprise he’s offered that fix for you. Also, I appreciate how he’s not feeding you the “wait a full 12-18 months to see what will happen” line. He sees an issue and wants to nip it in the bud asap so the patient is left happy. im debating sharing my repair journey with him as well. I just might soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted October 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think another 1500 grafts will do wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutu Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I am Dr K's patient myself and I got the surgery mid July. I start to worry about if I need the touch-up (I also got around 2100 grafts). It seems 2K something is max Dr.K is willing to do per day? I did not see any Dr K's patients who recieved over 2.5K on a single day. I am quite surprised that Dr.K believed that 2K is enough for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Dr K patient too from around the same time as you (we might have even briefly run into each other lol). Had 2.5k grafts, but it was FUT for an area not too dissimilar than OP. We are still 3 months in; I wouldn’t start worrying at all until month 6, though I admit it’s easier said than done…😂 I think there’s a case or two here of 3k+, but the general sentiment seems right. Tbh, if he can make 2k look like 3k, it isn’t an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry mate, worst case you will get a 7/10 result and a free touch up to take it to 11/10.. Dr K stands by his work and his patients, better he go the conservative route and add more later than some of the Turkish hair mills that do 5000 grafts in one sitting potentially wrecking guys future prospects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would still be very disappointment if I need to repeat that process given the price Dr. K asked for haha. Will keep you all posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member aNewHairHope Posted December 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 6, 2022 How did the top-up procedure go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted December 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2022 @sbguy01 I wonder, were you limited by budget, or would Dr. K have inferred from any of your consult convos with him that all you could pay for was 2k grafts? While you were not "botched" in the general sense, unless Dr K. told you that you 100% would need a 2nd surgery, I objectively do not see how your 1st result is anything but a failure. How did the free top-up go? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Turkhair Posted September 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 8, 2023 I think Konior offering a free touch up so soon shows he’s a good person. Also there’s nothing wrong with growth and it’s not a failed hair transplant by any means. The doctor probably thought he could do more with less grafts with a little artistry. 1500 more grafts and this will look fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
