I wonder if it might look better with your hair a bit shorter. I think it would possibly look cleaner without your long curly hair all over the place. If you can get a 2nd pass to add some density all over I think this could turn out to be a homerun result. Thank you my friend! You have a good point there, perhaps if i get good haircut it would look better, the thing is my scalp is very pale😩and hair is very dark, could not have been a harsher contrast. Also, i took photos outside in sunny day for transparency, certainly it looks much different indoors as you may have seen in my prior update. I will definitely think about of 2nd pass for more density after few more months perhaps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 15, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2023 It looks good, I think leaving the top longer than the sides would provide a better illusion of density. You could also use a little fiber which would go a long way. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Yes, that is a good idea, i will try to trim sides & leave front longer, i have a 12 month follow up with Dr V next month, will see what he thinks, but i am very happy, it is certainly life changing, as you and many others here in the community can fully understand how liberating it is to get hair back. I was well prepared before surgery to have realistic expectations, thanks to this forum & the great members who share their wealth if knowledge, if i do decide on 2nd pass, i will most likely have to consider beard as donor to not deplete my scalp donor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member civic Posted July 11, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Hey guys, 12 Month Update. I really think the thickening & overall maturity of hair is still at work, i see much greater density in midscalp & crown without having to part hair to the right, as i did in previous updates. It’s true guys, after 12 months the crown does keep getting better. I took the pic from exact same place/room/chair as before op pic, there are no fibers, as is. I am very happy, thank you dr V ! Have not yet had my 12 month follow up with him, been busy living life😎but will soon. Edited July 11, 2023 by civic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it’s holding well, considering i was a NW 6, for 1 pass , am happy, of course more density in crown would make me even more happy 😃 but i have to be reasonable, 5k grafts for such level of hair-loss is awesome. Im in mid 40s, so probably will not get a 2nd pass, if i was younger in my 20s of course i would be more inclined to, but what i got from this ht, really changed my life for the better, if i really want to flex on some special occasion event, i might sprinkle some fibers, but never done so, i feel for my age a bit of see through is expected. Hope this helps you with your decision, its all about what your expectations are out of ht, for me it was adequate coverage, & that’s what i got out of it, nothing more, nothing less 👍 . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is close up view under bright light from last week of hair line, maybe there are few, i am not sure, I think it looks ok, again, my main objective was to fully restore the roof, was not in a luxury to neat pick perfect hairline at my level of hairloss Edited February 19 by civic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
