2nd surgery to win density


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

Hello I ve had my surgery one month ago ,I think my final density will be ok but not the best ,I had 3200 grafts for corners and thinning front .

i know it’s too early but I’m thinking of doing a  2 procedure with my doctor ,to soften the hairline and add up some 1000 more grafts. 500 per side to make it  fuller packed and get a better final result 

‘opinions please IMG_0386.thumb.jpeg.b617a051cc630d37ac65d409f125e824.jpeg

Can't provide any advice if you don't provide additional background information about your hair loss history, age, medication,etc.

How can you conclude in just one month that your final result won't be good?

With 3200 grafts (That's a Huge Grafts) on frontal area, I am quite sure you will get good density. I don't know which doctor you went to though

Stop thinking about second procedure now you still have 11 months more to go.

^ completely agree. There's no way you can plan for another procedure just after one month post procedure. You never know how it willl shape up at 12 month mark.

It's only been 1 month since your hair transplant. It looks like they transplanted a good amount of grafts, so if they all grow it shouldn't be too thin. You may still want to thicken it up, but you need to wait until about 8 months after to start thinking about where you may need more grafts.
