Why wasn't he able to determine that you were not a suitable candidate before harvesting? And why throw away a small 200 grafts? Why not just implant and call it like that? If other doctors were to find you as a potential candidate for their clinic, you would be 200 grafts down for literally no reason. 12+ Months Finasteride + Minoxidil 3872 FUE w/ Dr Hasson | November 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the only case in 2019/2020. There is another guy from china that had the same experience. I think that from then, he is asking more exams to avoid this issue. PS: in any case, he was wrong. I got my HT 5 days later at HLC (they were kind enough to get me there in a such short period of time) at the result was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate having high standards but this is just unreasonable. Have u asked HLC about my review? tell me if u ever do please! Btw man I really dont get why u think thats unreasonable at the same time u are concerned all around for not having ur final result yet at the 6 month mark with your procedure at Couto's. Being your case already much better than mine after HLC. Looks like a projection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member consequence Posted November 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) So I gave it another gander. I know you had pics in your original thread where when you splayed out your hair it looked questionable, but when you comb it properly the result is excellent. Your pre-op pics for Couto look like most people's post-op pics on here. This is you after Ankara but before Couto: Honestly just beautiful. Of course Couto's temple points are my favorite on the planet but I don't think I would have rolled the dice twice with a second procedure if I had this frontal line. The density you were worried about behind could have been disguised. My hair doesn't look this good right now even after my procedure with Couto. And, at least from looking at other people's results on here at 5-6 months, I don't think it will get there unless I do a second procedure. Your 6 month pics after Ankara, for example, were way ahead of my current state. Don't take for granted how far you've come. Either way, you are doing great. Definitely keep us posted.

Definitely keep us posted. they dont look better at 6 months man. Look carefully. the final result is this You can see better the lack of density when shaved. Angles are the key since the first line is not the most affected. but you can see the patches are there. and that area was receipt at HLC's being that small area covered with 3157 grafts. You can see duchaine's case where he got 2,1k grafts for a small area as well but at least he had complete survival (or like 90-95%). the patches are just there, where the grafts where implanted. Is not hairloss progression since I hopped on finasteride right after y surgery there, and switched to oral minoxidil as well + ketoconazol shampoo. (plus implanted is not affected by androgenic alopecia) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Konsole93 Posted November 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2023 Hello, your result from HLC was really fantastic, one of the most beautiful hairlines I've seen. Why didn't Couto leave the hairline as is and just add more thickness? It seems that her hair loss is not stable and due to the operation, native hair is now falling out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted November 28, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 28, 2023 @EvansLawrence I think this is going to be total🔥. Temple closure is perfect and framed your face just right! And if those 11 day post-op pictures are any indication then your density should be spot on. The work looks great!

Wpawp Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I want to be sure of Couto's instructions regarding shampooing 2 days after surgery... 1) As to the shampooing 2 days after your last surgery, did you shampoo every day with the little bottle containing water and shampoo? 2) The instructions call for shampooing twice a day. Is this twice in one sitting? Or once in the day and once at nite? 3) Did this also include shampooing the donor area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member EvansLawrence Posted December 5, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2023 2 months So far this is probably the worst stage. From here on I dont think this Will go worse. To be fair I just woke up from a nap so the donnor could look worse of what It is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member EvansLawrence Posted December 25, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) 2 months and 20 days MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY The best present Santa gave me today is seeing my big progress from just 2 weeks ago: and donnor: I got a haircut about a week ago and my barber told me that he has seen a few hair transplants before but this is the first time he notices no balding patches on the donnor. And thats crazy considering that still I may have yet some shock loss there. I couldnt see it by the mirror my barber gave to check the back, but here on these pics I can see some. Still, no big deal. Probably this will improve. Gotta say that so far in my previous surgery I felt that this point where I am now It was reached about the 3 month and a half mark. This makes me happy because I cant think but good things. Merry Christmas and Happy new year! Edited December 25, 2023 by EvansLawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
