Hair loss seems to run in your family, so thats deff something to consider. I still think that at this point, you're doing alright. Just monitor your loss by taking pictures every 6 months to a year and reassess.

When I said post other pictures, I meant current, just more of them ( top, sides, back, overhead, temples etc).

Hair looks great! It would be nice to see some pre-op with longer hair to get a real idea of the impact. That said, what does it mean to 'need' a hair transplant? You can see the miniaturization/thinning at the hairline in the before pics. If this small number a grafts allows this guy to escape the torment and live his life without worrying about hair loss, then he needed this transplant.

It's not worth the risk in my opinion. You could end up with permanent redness or potentially damage the new grafts. The skin is still really weak and healing at this point.

It's really hard to say from the photos. I definitely see a receding hairline, but the front appears to be quite dense. If you want to get the best possible feedback, Id take photo's from all angles and post them. At 24, I think you're hanging in there pretty good, even if it is MPB. Are any of your immediate relatives experiencing hair loss?

its too early to know. Growth usually begins around 4 month mark. The graft count and placement looks like it should produce. Curious, why wait to let us know who your doctor is?

Try a sea salt spray

This x's a million. It's the best pro-tip I can offer to add volume and the apperance of density. Go on youtube and look up 'how-to' and make your own.

Nice, life changing results. Bravo to your doctor

Solid improvement, man. With the area covered and only 4600 grafts used, it looks like a solid transformation.

Clearly you cannot go on with your daily life not worrying about your hair, but it must feel like a million times better to at least have the option with some styles. I noticed that most of Koray patients that have diaries going have the same unnatural, wiry, darker looking, transplanted hairs. I wonder if it's some thing he does and how much it will improve as time passes.

I've met with 4 HT Docs and he is by far the most humble/honest in my opinion. I saw him AFTER I had a transplant elsewhere and he still offered a free consult and spent more than an hour with me. More importantly, I really feel he has the patience's best interest in mind with long term planning.

It's your life, your head, your hair, but it would be a mistake to not at least consult with him.

looks like you went with ASMED. Nice to see things are moving toward a positive direction

Maybe 10 years ago but not in 2017.

 

We can disagree on that all day. This site seems to be 50/50 on which is best. I don't like the thought of a big ass scar on the back of my head. I've noticed guys who have already had a strip procedure and are stuck with that scar are really quick to talk shit on fue. Seems like some jealousy to me. Regrets at getting a out of date barbaric procedure.

 

Both procedures in the right hands produce great results so do what you want.

This is simply not true. FUE has come a LONG way, but the science behind the two is enough to logically understand why one is better than the other.

H&W continue to dominate.

Nice work

Ok, my question was more or less asking which Dr you went to. I took a guess based on what I'm seeing.

Sent you a PM

Nice work, Gabel. I bet she's as happy as a clam!

They're slow to reply, usually a couple days. They book 4 surgery's a day so a lot is happening there.

I had surgery with Hasson and I'd rate my experience at a 7.5/10. Couple things rubbed me the wrong way, but nothing too serious. One thing you can try for is a last minute cancellation appointment. I did this and had close to 3k grafts transplanted for under 10k and they even paid for the hotel.

I've also met and consulted with Gabel. He will give you the most honest and best options and he's very fair. If I could reverse time, I might have gone with him instead.

My advice is still the same and to try and hang in there!

Take into consideration the pictures that you're posting. You seem to be posting honest flattering and non-flattering pics. Most people only post the best, so that they receive praise.

Give it a couple more months =)

I sense a bit of anxiety in some of your recent posts ( probably seeing Justjax and a few others progress and comparing). It's hard to not look in the mirror 500 times a day while inadvertently driving yourself nuts. Your transplant is on the cusp of taking off, the difference month to month from about this point and on is when the magic really starts. I'm predicting an amazing summer

I think their criticism is warranted. Your video was added during the edit and that came after mosd had replied.

Your transformation can't be denied. Dr. Umar always has these extreme cases and usually works magic. The density isn't always there, but its usually consistent from front to back, which I think makes the world of difference. I'd suggest making your own sea salt spray which will add serious volume to your hair, then using a matte paste and hairspray. I think the combination of all of that will tame the poofiness a bit.

Curious, what does a transformation like this cost?

Without pics, its hard to offer any advice that that could be considered informative.

Not sure what triggered the debate feeling reply...

My goal was to try and conceal my surgery and I believe I accomplished that. What you look like in the mirror, under the most perfect angles/hair placement and lighting certainly isn't what you look like out in the real world. I did business with a guy that used fibers to bulk up his hair and by mid day things were completely obvious. Felt really bad for him but didn't have the heart break it to him. I posed the question above and depending on his response I was going to suggest a hat or something to completely cover the head is the only real way to go undetected.

I would leave it. If you have it cut out and re-sutured you run the risk of damaging grafts that you'll likely need in the future. Right now its at it its worst. Eventually the color would fade into a more flesh colored tone and unless you wear your hair super short, it probably won't be noticeable.. In a year if it's too problematic, have it cut out/repaired, otherwise deal with it in a future surgery.

Nice result. Night and day difference.
