He's saying it will make your face look smaller, and frame your face better. And I agree

Oh, so if I want to lower the hairline, the temples are already in a good position. 

Thanks

Yes, but I think your hairline suits you very well!

This is coming along nicely. Personally, when I look at your head-on pictures I think your hairline is in a good spot. Not too high. That tweak to your temples was a good decision. Apologies if u mentioned this already, but I was wondering how many grafts went placed in the crown?

Here is the breakdown. 
S = single

D = double

B= big (3-4 hairs)

Not sure what AR and RP mean.

Sorry, are you saying having my temples done will make my forehead look larger?

Smaller

Hey @mrmajified sorry I missed your update for month 3. Everything looks amazing man! I can't wait to see this month 4. IMO your hairline looks perfect, don't worry about it.

Your scar will be great. Here’s mine from Dr. Wong 18 years later and it was done without Trichophytic closure. No railroading. 

U ever consider smp. It would do wonders for that minimal scarring. 

[hongkongfue]

@Spidey no I haven't. I hadn't even heard of it until I came back for this second surgery since I hadn't really kept up with anything after getting my first one.  Guess will need to do some more digging.  Dr. Wong did put some graphs on each side to break it up a little on this second pass, but that is all I have ever done to address it since I typically don't wear my hair short.  Thanks for the tip.

4 month photo update. Natural, with no product or styling.

Had a haircut about 3 weeks ago. Thinking about letting it all grow out for a couple of months, except for the sides to see how it looks.

 

[PSJohnny]

@mrmajified Looking good my friend 🙂

[mrmajified]

5 month update. 

Couldn't get natural light photos of the sides/back as it's dark and snowy out today. Took the natural light straight-on photos when I was alone a few days ago. 

It's really starting to come in now!

[RobertoDeNiro]

Looking really nice already. And you are still on month 5. Be patient "hair is coming".

[Gatsby]

Oh wow @mrmajified. This is looking so good already at only five months! 👌

[Al - Moderator]

Wow. I read the last page first and saw your pics and did not realize this was FUT until I went to page 1 to see the Before pics. You are cutting the sides and back pretty short and I didn't see any scar at all. Very nice.

This is a slam dunk already. You could technically be one and done it's you can live with some minor loss in the future since this procedure yielded a lot of grafts. If anything just a minor fue procedure down the road but imo I think you're set.

Thanks man. I hope the rest of my hair holds up for 10ish years and I won't need to revisit surgery until at least then!

[Silent123]

Hey man, congrats, you certainly conquered hair loss with this. What a great difference!

[mrmajified]

Hi all,

6 month update. Looks very similar to month 5, but hairs might be thickening up a bit.

[jjalay]

This is great man. And you still have 6 months of growing.  Dr. Wong is the GOAT for fut.

[DavidSheer]

Epic result already!

This work shows how much temporal peaks matter!
Your face looks "smaller" (in a good way) and you have a better frame to your eyes.

I love rounded HL, If I was you, I asked for a "flatter" frontal hairline. But it is just a matter of taste

I will see how the end result looks, then decide if I want to fill in the front a bit. I think it looks like a natural NW2 now, which while isn't perfect, is far better than where I was at. If I can keep most of my native hair going forward, I believe I'll age gracefully with what I've got.

[hockeyman]

Unreal result. You look fantastic. That was a good decision to opt for fut as your donor area looks untouched and will provide a lot more grafts should you ever need them. Did Dr. Wong ever mention your total donor capacity? Are you on finasteride?

Thanks! 

He did not mention my donor capacity, but I do expect I've got a lot remaining.

I am on topical finasteride 0.25% with minoxidil 5%, taken at 1mg per day.
