it looks like poor survival of grafts...Please tell us the name of the doctor that did your hair transplant -
Hey Whirlpool, Originally, the plan was split my procedure into two days but that changed once we got closer to the actual date of the transplant. 2,500 grafts made for a long day, and I was probably one of the easier ones when it came to drawing the hairline. I'm not sure if she'd do 3,000 grafts over one day or two (it'd probably depend on the case) but the fact that the original plan with me was to do the procedure over 2 days makes me think that it'd be an option if necessary. She did go over the number of follicular units per square centimeter before and after the procedure, but I've forgotten lol. Next time I reach out, I'll ask. [She's been very responsive post-op, from my limited experience]. I was quoted 2,000 grafts by SMG for about the same body of work. FWIW, Hasson & Wong quoted me 2,500-3,000 grafts to do the hairline thru the mid-scalp. I ultimately went with Dr. Nadimi because I was impressed with what she was able to do in similar cases with a limited number of grafts. She also seemed to have my long-term needs in interest and had a good sense of what would still look good 10 or 15 years down the road. [That's not to say SMG didn't, but it was easier to come to that conclusion with CHI.] It wasn't a deciding factor, but it was also nice that I was also able to communicate with Dr. Nadimi from the start, rather than go through patient consultants. It made it easier to make sure we were on the same page in terms of goals, expectations, etc. -

Don't do temple points. Don't change anything about hairline and temple points : Your temple points look now natural. If you make them more aggresive with HT, it can bring you trouble in the future. And besides temple ponts after HT only look good if you grow them longer, so your current hairstyle with sides and temple points cut short won't be available. Check how temple points after HT look if you cut them shorter in this post : Eugenix 3514 grafts (720 on the temples) May 2022 Dr Priyadarshini Das - Page 11 - Hair Transplant Reviews - Hair Restoration Network - Community For and By Hair Loss Patients So best idea is to reinforce everything besides current hairline, strenghten red area. Second question is how many grafts can be implanted in blue area, which in fact, needs a lot more grafts then red area. 2000 grafts of course is not enough for everything, even if you stick with current hairline and don't lower it. Changing the hairline or temple points would only increase this demand of grafts. The good news is that after you did SMP, you can wear this buzzcut hairstyle and it looks neat. You don't have to rush into 2nd procedure, rather take your time and consult with other surgeons, that's my advice. -
hi was wondering how you have got on with your final result. interested in this doctors clinic -
13 week update Overall, I think I'm still below baseline, but the margin is shrinking each week now. I would say most improvement has been along the hairline itself while the areas behind the hairline are still lacking significantly behind baseline, especially in the center. I started to notice new hair growth around 2.5 months and growth has continued apace. It's not been enough to make much of a cosmetic difference thus far but I wasn't expecting any major improvements this early anyway. Just excited to see some new growth at this stage. I'm a slow-grower in general and have always been able to get away with 3-4 haircuts per year, even in adolescence, so I understand that tangible results might take a bit longer in my case. Redness is almost completely gone and it's not noticeable at all under most lights. No changes in meds (1mg finasteride, 2.5mg minoxidil, biotin supplement). No noticeable sides. Hope to see some more improvement between now and Memorial Day. I'll probably trim the top a bit since the difference in length between the few transplanted hairs that never shed and the new hair that sprouted recently is becoming more noticeable, although it does make it easier to differentiate the new growth from the rest of the hair!
