Regular Member hairlines Posted February 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 The Plan We had discussed a bit on email and video call the expected plan before I arrived in Bangkok and it stayed more or less the same once meeting in person. I think all the research done prior gave me a good idea of what I was asking for and why, along with recommendations from the Dr. I have a lot of area to cover, something that is made worse by aiming for a feminine hairline which needs to cover areas that a 40 year old male hairline would normally leave clear for a natural look. I want to wear my hair longer though which should help and don’t mind a scar so wanted to include FUT in the process to try and make the best use of the donor area. The FUT + FUE combo seemed like a good route based on Dr’s recommendations. Our plan was to aim for 5,000 plus grafts, and start filling from the front back. I did not except to fill the crown in this session so am expecting to be back in a year or so to address that and touch up any of the current surgery. We exceeded the graft goal which is great. I have seen the breakdown on the board which looks good but will wait for their official photos to post that. I flew in on the 25th Feb, had consultation and finalised the plan on the 26th, and had surgery yesterday on the 27th. I’m here for 5 more days to get daily post op care and one set of stitches removed before I fly home. Here are some before pics to show the scope of what we’re deal with! As you can see, this has the potential to be a fairly life changing part of my gender transition so I really hope it goes well!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairlines Posted February 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) And here is a bonus pic immediately after the operation. Note that it wasn’t strictly necessary to shave my whole head but some needed doing and it was going to look weird so I told them to go for it to make things easier. I had been growing it out for a while just to see what it might look like in the future. Edited February 28, 2023 by hairlines 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any updates on this? Just booked an FUE+FUT combo procedure myself with Dr. Laorwong. How is the FUT incision healing, are you still in pain?

I'm thinking of doing a FUT + FUE combo myself with this doctor. I do have one question though. If you plan on having 2 surgeries anyway, would it be best to have just a FUT for your first, followed by FUT + FUE for your second? I read that FUTS get the most grafts but are best before a FUE?
