Senior Member Gatsu Posted July 19, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi Everyone! I just came back from my surgery with Dr.Lupanzula and his crew. Some people know that i have done two hair transplantats with Dr.Keser in the past, one just a year ago. The goal with this third and hopefully last transplant was to add temple points and fill in the mid-scalp that have been thinning out over the last 6 years not using meds, made evident too me when shaving for my last hair transplantat, and of course my sensitive barber also pointed it out . Im now on medication(fin) since a year back and actually going to try topical finasteride 1% that Lupanzula gave to me, hoping for less side effects. My total graft count as of now is 6543 FUE grafts. Lupanzula told me my donor was extraordinary thick leaving me with additional 2-3k grafts in the bank for future transplant if needed. I have only good things to say about Dr Lupanzula and his crew. Very professional, kind and effective. Dr Lupanzula does all the extraction and incisions by himself leaving the placing of the grafts to his technicians. They are very helpful, welcoming and responding and im very happy with the work. looks really clean and im hopping for great results. The graft counts: 932 singles 933 doubles 965 triples 152 quardruple 5 quintpule Going to keep you guys updated in the process. feel free to ask me any questions! Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldingBogger Posted July 19, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2017 Congrats on your procedure. Should be an awesome result ! Also considering Dr Lupanzula for temple points so will follow your case with interest. Interested to see when the redness fades on your temples. Have you told work colleagues etc or you looking to keep private? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted July 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 I had followed your threads but may I asked why you considered a 3rd HT? What norwood are the Males in your family? IF you had side effects on Finastiride what were they? What is your plan if you run out of grafts? Will you wear a wig? What was the age at which you received your firs hair transplant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mikey1970 Posted July 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 Cant understand most guys considering the luxury of temple points if they have any degree of MPB. Better to keep those valuable grafts in the bank for up top if needed imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gatsu Posted July 20, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Cant understand most guys considering the luxury of temple points if they have any degree of MPB. Better to keep those valuable grafts in the bank for up top if needed imho. appreciate that. and i knew i was going to get some heat for this HT. I wanted to share Dr Lupanzulas work with you guys since i know it has been requested.I got 3k grafts left in the bank and my front and part midscalp is already done so all future grafts will go i the back. But if this bothers people on this forum to much, i can stop. Edited July 20, 2017 by Gatsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gatsu Posted July 20, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you Around 1600 grafts where placed in the temple points . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted July 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2017 Congratulations! You already looked good before this HAT and guess you will look even better. I am very courious about he temples as these are really difficult to create naturally. Actually you previous transplant looked good as well. If you would have done SMP in the donor you could have gone with a buzz cut. This leads to my question: Why do you went to another clinic after such a great result? Good luck and grow well. 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Yes, SMP on donor and possible future hair loss will be an option for me. i like that look. Well, first of all i didnt want to go back to Turkey for several reasons. Regarding temple points i havent seen any work done with Dr Keser. I have seen some from Lupanzula that i liked a lot and looked really well and i liked how he explained the process behind creating natural looking temple points, using fine nape hair in the front and slowly fade for more density. Also he came recommended on this forum when discussing this topic, Time will tell if it comes out good Lets hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the age at which you received your firs hair transplant? thank you I did answer but it got flagged for some reason. So I will sum it up. Because I wanted temple points to frame my face and wanted to restore my mid scalp. Around NW5 , different side effects but better now with lower dose and natural supplements . I have up to 3k graft left and im done with front/midscslp plus on meds so I should be covered for a long time, but good to have that.in the bank if crown goes weak. hair gods have me good donor . Nopp never wig worst case I will buzz/shave . First HT at 24 years old, best desicion of my life . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
