too thin hair after the transplant, I'm not satisfied 1,5 year later.

[Patro1995]

Hello, I have very thin transplanted hair, you can see the differences between them and natural. I won't put them up because it looks weird, I can only put them down or comb them to the side. I know everyone will tell me to take finasteride, but I felt bad after that, for now I'm not going to do a second transplant. What can help me besides finasteride? minoxidil or something? I'm hoping for some advice because I'm a little sad about all this.

OP, if you don't want to use medication like Finasteride etc., then just be aware that when the hair loss progresses, you will likely have a disconnect between the transplanted hair and where you lost native hair. For now, you can try use hair fibres as a non-medical way to try and get the hair looking visually thicker and maybe try getting your barber to cut the hair more choppy on the fringe. No offence or intention to be mean but you look like you got a Bowl cut atm. 

I am going out on a limb here, but something tells me you went to Turkey and you're in your 20s. You likely found the hair clinic through like Instagram too and used the Google 5* reviews etc  when researching as well as the clinic pictures on social media.

I use microfibers, it's better then, I sent the worst photos when the hair is still wet. This is what they look like when they dry, see below. But summing up the only thing that saves me at the moment to thicken them is finasteride and minoxidil? that's mostly what I'm asking. Turkish clinic, I had a few friends who did well, for me it was worse.

First of all: go to another barber😁

Personally speaking, it looks like your hair loss progressed and its extremely hard to tell from the pictures what hair you may have left that Finasteride/Minoxodil could save but maybe you could benefit from it, but personally i would take it as a preventative for further hair loss and i would seriously recommend you save up because i think you need to probably go for a 2nd procedure and having gone to Turkey, i have a feeling you probably don't have a lot of donor left after they probably did what they usually do. 

OP, this forum is here to help people who have been to places like Turkey and not had the best outcome, but you also probably need to sit down and read about what your limits will be. Hair in the donor area doesn't regrow. That's unfortunately a mistake a lot of people make in thinking it does, but it doesn't. 

It's like teeth. Once the adult teeth are pulled, they aren't coming back and just like we care for them, hair is similar.

I feel like I’ve seen you post on the forum before quite some time ago?

You’re now posting in your own thread with a different account name to the one in which you started this thread with an hour ago?

I remember your previous posts… Your HT has been done in rows, which is bad practice, and HT’s are not typically thick and dense anyway. Your density isn’t too bad but the issue seems to be rows & angles. It’s an unusual design shape as well. You’re only going to get higher density with another HT. Though please don’t go back to the same clinic as before.

Seems like you’re previous posts were exactly this topic, and the answers have been given already. Consider Fin/Minox to help retain, you’re already using fibres, what else can be said/done… unless you do go for another hair transplant nothing can be said or done really apart from meds, and that will most likely just help what you have. All the issues arising from the hair transplant will remain, another from a better clinic would help improve it, it would be more a repair as the angles and design are off.
