The left side of your hairline is better than right side currently. Happy growing ! 100%. It's quite common for one side to lag behind the other from what I've seen but my temples were completely bald. It's tough to tell how much fuller it will get given the implant density in that area being lower than I've seen with other cases. Some grafts definitely shed with the scabs but here are two post-op references of the area. Really hoping that it fills out nicely. Maybe I could consider SMP to help create the illusion of added density in the temples if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member duckling Posted May 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2023 these areas (corners of hairline) are tough to see with some hairstyles. a good combover with layering of hair will create illusion of density. if you slick back your hair only then your hairline will look weaker .

Regular Member ThunderToast Posted June 6, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 6, 2023 About how long before all of your redness in the recipient area dissipated? I'm fair-skinned and I'm almost positive my recipient area will be red for months if my test area is any indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member airporteffect Posted July 11, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2023 6 month update: Definitely still pretty thin in the temples but much better than where I started! The temples are also pretty funny — we clearly didn’t go far enough back on one so they look like little sideburns. I’ve been cutting it close to skin on the sides every couple of weeks and the donor looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spring15 Posted July 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2023 Looks decent so far, hope you get some more volume in the next few months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ThunderToast Posted July 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Had my procedure with Buchwach this week. Not sure I want to post photos yet but it went really well. Very efficient staff and the SmartGraft technican was very impressive. Only 1100 grafts so it was quick. Donor and Recipient areas are healing well. I was out before lunchtime so they bagged up their homemade lunch to take with me!
