Andrew Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I underwent FUE on my frontline and crown on 9/1/22. It’s be a little over 4 months (141 days). They did 1500 grafts total. I told the techs I wanted a main concentration in the crown area because that is where I’m most self conscious, but after the procedure it looked like they implanted a majority in the hairline. The crown implants looks spaced out and sporadic. I’ve included my before, post surgery, and current picture. I’ve also been using low laser helmet, rogaine foam, and hair vitamins, but I’m not very confident in what I’m seeing. Bald spot looks wider and thinner. Will this work and look good?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 20, 2023 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2023 It's impossible to say at this stage, growth doesn't typically occur until the 5th month in the crown. I think 1,500 grafts, if grown well will make a significant visual difference. That said, it does take a lot longer for grafts to grow in the crown. I wouldn't judge the full result until 18 months.

Do you have post procedure pictures of grafts implanted in the hairline?

Senior Member AlexMeister21 Posted January 20, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 20, 2023 It does look pretty spacey, in my opinion. Did you ask the clinic how many grafts they put in your hairline and how much they put in the crown. Who was the doc?

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted January 23, 2023 Moderators Share Posted January 23, 2023 The reason it looks worse right now is most likely due to some shock loss. Wait a few more months.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted January 25, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2023 Covering the crown area is so difficult and requires a lot of grafts. 1,500 is not very many for a large area. Be patient and send us an update in a couple months. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).
