Regular Member Surf Posted April 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 19, 2023 You’re less than 6 months in. It’s not going to be 100% dense but give it time to thicken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Surf Posted April 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 19, 2023 Noticeable improvements mate, but relax a bit! Seems like you’re focusing on day-to-day progress rather than month-to-month. Stressing will make it fall out again 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Legend007 Posted April 20, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2023 I’ve watched your progress for the last few years since erdogan. Hopefully this one will resolve your hairline issues.. you have to think long term now and balance the remaining grafts for the mid n crown.. to have some coverage later on in life.. you don’t want that little island of hair with gaps around it later.. but I think the way your hair sticks upwards, gives it more volume, even if you get older and without anymore grafts.. some toppik will still make your hair look awesome .. best wishes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So different conditions between pre op and post op. If there are harsh conditions in the pre op photos and light conditions in the post op photos, then the difference will look bigger.

It’s actually not wet. I think it is just greasier. It is brushed back in the before as well, however I didn’t try to reduce the waviness as much and the hairs kind of waved away from the midline of the scalp that divides the left and right part of the head. but I understand what you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what i want to say is that your difference from post op to pre op would be less if the same conditions were applied on both pre op and post op photos.

Second photo looks thicker despite the hair being angled more vertically. Definitely looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect about 25% more density to come, since I’d say about 50% of the hair is from prior transplants and natives. You have great hair texture for achieving lift and coverage. I appreciate the good quality photos. Would you be able to take pictures outdoors in sunlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Der3k7 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yeah I can do that too. Wong said if I want more density in the hairline I can do another surgery after 12 months. I will probably wait more like 2 years so I have more time financially to spread it out. But ya if it remains see through I’d probably wanna do a small surgery to help increase density in that area a bit. My brown seems to be filling in nicely currently and with xyon we will see how it changes. Ava the extra year will allow me to see if the xyon is stabilizing my hair loss.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 20, 2023 Administrators Share Posted April 20, 2023 Xyon really improved the midscalp. The hairline and crown are filling in nicely.

Do you recommend any subscription services or cheapest way to get a monthly dose of minoxidil shipped to me? I just saw Ro does it for $30 monthly but I wonder if there is a cheaper service?
