I still have more than 6 months to go still tho, will see I'm not an expert on transplants, and it could be part of the "illusion" talked about in the forum, because it's really difficult to cover such an area with 2600 grafts. I'm writing because I'm also before a hair transplant and I'm interested in how it should look. I didn't get to see a hair transplant from a premium clinic, only Turkey...

I guess the fact that I have longer hair behind the transplanted hair doesn’t help first of all. also most hair are multiple and I feel like some still need to thicken and grow. I still need to wait more before giving a final judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TonTon Posted March 5 Regular Member Share Posted March 5 Could you please show us some photos with high quality / flash / zoom in. Zoomed out photos are never a good sign. Your design looks fantastic, but If you’ll let us see better photos we could share our honest opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HHH Posted March 12 Regular Member Share Posted March 12 I don't know if it's just the lighting, but the density in the 5 month pics already looks incredibly strong, and growth is definitely still on its way. Can you see the disconnect between transplanted and native hairs yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the transplanted hair are starting to blend in slowly tho. will keep waiting and see.. i will be uploading pictures tomorrow Edited March 12 by Youth_Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have more than 6 months to go still tho, will see The initial 6 to 8 months is a phase of hair growth, that is the new hairs will continuously keep on sprouting. The density of your hairs starts to increase in the later half, from 8 to 18 months. Therefore, you are just beginning the phase where your hairs will start to mature and become denser. 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...

Senior Member Chrisno Posted April 15 Senior Member Share Posted April 15 You'll need a second pass to achieve your desired density. 2,600 grafts for that area was never going to visually match your native density in the area behind your newly established hairline. 1 2500 FUE by Dr. Victor Hasson, June 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Otis james Posted April 15 Regular Member Share Posted April 15 (edited) I think it looks pretty good…. Maybe a tad “pluggy”…? But you’re still only 7 months. Could it be the lack of singles? I know you were worried about that early on. You’ve dark hair and pale skin, too. More difficult to get soft results, from what I understand… 🤷🏻♂️ Edited April 15 by Otis james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it does impact on the hairline? Might not allow dense packing? let’s wait 5 more months and see but if it stays the same I definitely would want a touch up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called me this morning. he wants me to provide more pictures when hair are wet and combed back. Also he said that it is too early to say, need to wait until month 10 before any conclusion. he mentioned very high contrast between my hair color and skin color. And mentioned that worst case scenario I may need a touch up of 200-300 grafts. also mentioned that I had a lot of quadruple that sometimes take time to mature. patience will tell… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Diff-thinner Posted April 15 Regular Member Share Posted April 15 agreed, and also to keep it positive, you can always add the grafts to make things better as an option, so chin up dude and yes its a patience game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if you wanted to wear it down in a fringe it'd do that? Just know a few people who've had HTs and reckon the transplanted hair always has kinda a wave or kink in it, so they basically have to wear it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Density looks excellent doctor told me to brush my hair twice a day to fix that wavy kink look and train them. I apparently missed that 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
