Well at least it looks like natural retrograde alopecia. I wonder what they did with the grafts ? Did they just throw them down the sink ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't look like 2250 grafts which they said were extracted. Rather More grafts were extracted and wasted completely. Edited February 12 by Shadman 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫.

Time actually flies so fast. Thank you, brother ! 😊 Tbh I didn't want to make another mistake which I made previously, glad that I made the right decision 😀 Hello, they used sharp punches to extract doubles from the hairline and fronto temporal angle. In total, 150 grafts. It didn't cause any scars. All the scars were gone by the next 72 hours. Thats great i think, I will also have to punch out some grafts , whats the skin color now at the locations from where grafts were punched out does it have a slight white patch (just like we see it in donor), also can new hairs be implanted in the punched out areas ??

Hi, @WoundedWolf Sorry, I didn’t notice your comment. I’m attaching a close up picture. Skin color is absolutely normal no white patch. And new hairs can be implanted by creating slits. 2 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐡 / 𝟏𝟖𝟎𝟑𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐬 / 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 / 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Shadman Posted March 9 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 9 Month 9 Update: So, I’ve just completed month 9. I'm trying to be neutral as much as I can, because I know What were the limitations and what I was expecting nine months back. Considering everything, I'm pleased with how it looks right now. I said earlier and I'm saying again that Dr. Told me clearly that with the current condition of my donor, I wouldn't be able to go for fade cut, But I still went twice. But If my grow my hair longer, thinning would be less visible. At 9 month mark, I tried to grow my hair longer. And thinning is less visible. There's some see through in the hair line, I'll wait till month 12, After that, I have a plan to visit Eugenix , let's see. Any comments or opinions are highly welcomed.

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted March 11 Senior Member Share Posted March 11 Looking good mate, what are your future plans? Do you plan to add more density ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shadman Posted March 11 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 11 @Rawkerboi thank you for your overall support from the very beginning 🙏 I'm concerned about one particular area which I marked. When I grow my hair longer, that particular area is more visible. As you know, I'm already running out of grafts. So, as of now I've two plans- Either A, Do nothing and see how it turns out at 12 month mark & depending on the overall condition might aim for another procedure few years later. Or B, Would go for a little bit touch up in the hairline area at 1 year mark. 1 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫.

Regular Member Tommy1991 Posted March 11 Regular Member Share Posted March 11 There is no doubt this is a good result for one sitting considering how low your hairline was and just the overall aesthetically pleasing look now. It was unsightly prior repair but glad you achieved a good result. Tough repair that has turned out well for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shadman Posted March 12 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 12 @BaldReaper thank you, yes, that particular area has some density issue, but only exposed more when I grow my hair longer. @Tommy1991 thank you, Yes, the overall look is much satisfying now 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫.

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted March 13 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 13 Congratulations, this is a significant positive change from where you were before the operation. In my opinion, there is still room for improvement. Hairs will continue to mature and density will improve until around 18 months post-op. Therefore, once you reach the 15-18 month mark, you can assess the progress and plan accordingly. 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
