Regular Member Adrenaline7 Posted February 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, This was the card I was given after my recent 3500 graft FUE procedure. A few questions: 1) Is having so many doubles but not many singles and triples normal? I also thought quadruples were possible. 2) Do the density measurements seem like it’ll give the end result enough density? 40 grafts/cm2 at the front seems low? I’ve also attached pre and post surgery photos of my hair. Thanks! Edited February 5, 2023 by Adrenaline7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should expect a good result from this. You have existing hair and the hair is curly. Should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought quadruples were possible. It is normal because they use singles for the first few rows of the hairline, then they placed doubles/triples behind it for added coverage. 2 hours ago, Adrenaline7 said: 2) Do the density measurements seem like it’ll give the end result enough density? 40 grafts/cm2 at the front seems low? I think your hairline will be at a satisfactory level, unsure about behind it. I would say you are probably in the clear when it comes to density for a first pass. 12+ Months Finasteride + Minoxidil 3872 FUE w/ Dr Hasson | November 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on Finasteride it's blocking the DHT so should be good.

I still had a lot of miniaturised hairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Adrenaline7 Posted February 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2023 Just an update on 10th day after surgery. How is it all looking, grafts and donor area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted February 14, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2023 It looks good. My only concern would be the areas around the HT work are already looking thinned. Just stay on the finasteride but it does look like another procedure will be in your future.

Regular Member Adrenaline7 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2023 Yeah, we only had 3500 grafts to work with in the session and concentrated on the front third. My diffuse thinning was pretty bad so I expected the whole mid/crown area not to be densely packed. Hopefully once I grow it out again styling my curly hair in certain ways will be able to give illusion of density in those thin areas. Might use hair fibres as well. I wish Minoxidil didn’t give me side effects as I think that would really help my hair in that area with all the miniaturised hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
