And my surgery is scheduled exactly 1 year after yours which makes your case especially intriguing to me. I know that you don't care too much about this forum anymore but you can still make impact with your testimony for others that are waiting for the operation. Can you elaborate further about positive changes in your life? Do you think that something could have been done differently during the process or everything went smoothly? Interesting to hear that you've left Valencia as soon as possible, what was the feeling on the plane because of the pressure and your still swollen head? Would like to hear if doctor checked your donor area by microscope on the day of the surgery and if estimate of graft availability in your donor area was made. How much time did you spend on hairline design before the surgery, is it something that lasts 30 minutes or we are talking about brief discussions where doctor quickly chooses his ideal concept. Would like to hear this tiny important pieces of information, if the distance of the glabella from the hairline is taken into account, for example, was he speaking about frontalis muscle and rule of thirds. Thank you in advance. Positive changes as in I don’t feel 50 when I am 28 because of my hairline. My hairline was the worst in my friend group and I always hated that I couldn’t style my hair the way I wanted but now I have the best hair line. When I go barbers I am no longer staring at my hairline in misery. The little things bring so much happiness. I am grateful. I was going to stay for a few days after but they assured me I would be fine and many people leave the next day. Everything went smoothly, although I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about bumping my head. The doctor was brief in the design line up but it’s because when he drew it on I thought it was perfect and I was happy with the line. He didn’t observe with a microscope, he told me I had about 4-5k grafts left. He didn’t talk about the muscles and it’s probably because of the language barrier but he did say what he designed will look the most natural and aesthetic.

It took around 2 months for reply on consultation and I was initially booked for September 2023, this was June last year. I kept pestering them for cancellations and eventually did get one for December. So total 6 month wait.

Senior Member drawdownfx Posted July 8, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Month 7 update Apologise for the late one guys but here we are. I am very happy with the result and if this is the end then I am satisfied. I was very worried about the density but it all worked out perfectly. if I had to be picky there is a small area in the middle where I wouldn’t mind getting a touch up on to really fill it but apart from that the density is very good. Extremely happy with the temple work as wells Let me know what you guys think! Thank to everyone on the forum and those who helped me out with my questions. I have taken pics with flash and no flash.

Senior Member drawdownfx Posted July 8, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2023 I want to put some grafts in this area (side parting?). I know @Melvin- Moderator had his side parting done. Do you have any advice on this and whether it made a big impact for you?

Regular Member LostAndFound Posted July 10, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) @drawdownfx looking fantastic bro.

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted July 11, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 11, 2023 De freitas is a master of natural hairlines and that's reflecting in your case...excellent natural hairline and you will get more density in upcoming months...the hole in the middle can be worked out with a touch up but i think it can fill up in upcoming months so wait for it..you are already on oral minoxidil but you can try applying topical Minoxidil to that hole in the middle and see if it helps you...the area you marked can be worked upon if you want to do side parting ...so wait for 4-5 months and than can do a touch up if the hole do not fill up plus can work on the marked area for side parting after you get final result of this...

Regular Member goatnole Posted October 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2023 Looking good, fantastic growth. Only thing that De Freitas maybe could consider to change is a little bit less row implant so close to the hair line. i see this in all of his cases. The results are anyway good, but in my opinion it would be 10/10 with a more irregular implant pattern. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member duchaine Posted November 28, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2023 On 12/15/2022 at 10:32 PM, drawdownfx said: Thanks for your comment bro. you think so? I felt like he was a bit conservative with the temples. If you have a look at the close up he pretty much chose to densify what I already had. I was hoping he could extend it (yellow line) but I wanted to leave it to him to decide and maybe this is better for me in the long term! The temporal peaks look ok. The (minor) problem in the frontal-temporal angle (FTA) De freitas is used to "flat" frontal hairline that are charmy but can appear unnatural. In fact, when the frontal hairline is flat, the FTA is not correctly placed. FTA should be placed on the lateral epicantal line (LEL) In other words, the frontal hairline should stop at LEL. You could ask to bring forward the upper part of the lateral hairline to re-create the proper Angle. Without full face pics, I can't say if it is possibile in your case, because the lateral hairline has a natural shape that is related to the ear, the eye and the middle point of the frontal hairline.
