3340 grafts @ HairTran Clinics with Dr.Patty in Bangkok (12/27/2023)

[Anon94]

Hey guys!

After a looking time of reading up on transplants and inquiring with various doctors I finally had my transplant about two months ago. 

I ended up going with Dr. Patty. There were a number of doctors that I was interested in having my procedure with, but timing worked out very well for me with Dr. Patty, and the work I had seen (here and elsewhere) had me confident in that choice for my specific case.

I've been on 1mg of finasteride and 2.5mg of oral minox for ages at this point, and had stabilized my hairloss for a while. Still, I wanted to be conservative with the hairline. For one I prefer that look for myself. I also didn't want a huge change in how I look. Future hairloss for me is unpredictable (my family has basically everything from none to NW7) --> every graft is precious.

These pictures are:

Right now I'm at peak ugly duckling. The top of my head looks worse than it ever has 😅

(Tried to take some close ups too)

Thanks for posting looks clean. Another poster says the Dr only does conservative hairlines- as is yours. I read you opted for that but was a more aggressive hairline offered?

She asked me what I wanted during communication prior to booking. 

I wasn't interested in a something more aggressive, so we never talked about it.

I've seen more aggressive cases than mine from her though.

I think it was a good approach to go conservative. The work looks really clean. Should tune out great!

Hey guys!

Maybe someone has a tip for me:

I've got a bunch of grafts that never shed, but aren't growing either. The clinic says that I should try and pull them out, if they give no resistance.

Is that necessary? I have tons of them in-between my native hair, and think I'd end up pulling out that on accident if I actually went at it with tweezers.

@Anon94

hey man. I don’t think it’s necessary to pull hairs out. If they shed they shed.

how is everything going?

[Anon94]

Starting to see some visual progress. I'll probably post an update at 4 months

Small update at 4 months here. I feel like I've started seeing signs of growth within the last two weeks or so (apart from the grafts that never shed of course).

Still a long way to go and it's thin - especially in harsh overhead lighting. But it's heading in the right direction imo.

Two pics are dry immediately after the shower, one is wet and exposing the hairline. I feel like you can more clearly see the individual follicles and hairline in that one.
