Dude tbh for the stage youre at i think it looks bloody brilliant, the fact that he wants a second crack to touch up, in my opinion simply indicates he just wants to perfect it. 

Yes, he does. But for me is OK because so do I haha.

Well the density as I said is not there yet but It is at what It should be IMO for 7 months.

Maybe this close pic will show It better

That red arrow shows where he would put more grafts.

I do agree, especially when compared to the other side, which has grown in way better! But basically unshaven it should be awesome with the touch up 

Yep. Part of the low density there is also because that side is going slower. But on top of It there is a space Couto showed me yesterday with his camera where you could fit a few grafts (2 grafts to be precise hahaha). So yes well. Lets do it.

Phenomenal for 7 months, there has been so much improvement, and probably will still be much more improvement to come.

Thank you! Agree! 😊

Ok so just to clarify something.

It has been 3 of you already that have written me on DM about why I think the density is not there yet, and that only my right and slow temple is showing It.

Let me clarify:

Left temple (the one that is going faster), combed with wáter.

Right temple (the one going slower, also combed moist)

PXL_20240503_0909263872.thumb.jpg.34e6de0a747dc78f3e003b566c8c1b77.jpg

As you can see in BOTH of them there is still room for a density improvement. And It is very normal that we have a side that goes slower than the other. This also happened to me in my previous surgery. Thats normal.

But when I say I am very Happy so far means that I feel everything is where It should be for month 7. Because I still have 3 or 5 months for a final result which is a lot. Going to the best does not mean the result will appear earlier.

Plus the right temple will have a touch up that Couto confirmed me already but literally he told me that we could use only 2 grafts (Yes, 2). Look how perfectionist and meticulous he is! LOVE It!

Anyway. Thanks for the feedback and dont worry, I Will keep this updated monthly 😊

The hairline is very very good. The temples just is also good does anyone know if Dr. Couto could even user finer hairs at the temples as some people have really fine hair at the temples

Just a question how has the direction of the new hairs been? Have you had to train the new hairs or is it just falling in their natural directions? also what would you say the percentage of survival rate of the grafts has been. From the photos it looks very high rate of survival

Guys like OP don’t have fine singles, he was born with thick and aggressive hair, but it seems Couto did a perfect job for him, it’s hard to get natural look with thick hair.

I agree it is a perfect job for OP. I was more curious about whether really fine hairs like towards the neck normally which I notice they don't get extractions is it because they have less chance of survival and growth

Those fine hairs near the neck are extremely prone to androgenic alopecia and natural disappearance, it’s very risky using them.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Needless to say I am Happy and still with the grown that is about to come plus the touch up at month 12 I know I Will be over the moon

If you’re going for 10/10 perfection (which is near on impossible to achieve) - A very minor touch up to the right temple would be worthwhile and maybe a few grafts in that mid scalp zone which is slightly weaker on the RHS (depends if you want to shave it again though).
