Senior Member davidn Posted June 17 Senior Member Share Posted June 17 I hate to say it, but youre donor doenst look good.. at all. It looks diffuse. Get on oral minox+oral Fin Consult with Dr bisanga Consider a hair System/smp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jackdaniels Posted June 17 Regular Member Share Posted June 17 (edited) Considering your previous situation your appearance has changed a lot and you still have 5.5 months to go. For the number of grafts implanted and your huge recipient area it looks fine so far. also keep in mind that it was obvious from the beggining that you would need 2 hair transplants because you have a huge area to cover. In order to have full coverage you would need around 10.000-12.000 grafts. So it was not going to be full with that procedure in any way… Edited June 17 by Jackdaniels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over harvested and diffuse thinning donor area. He must depend on his beard and other body hair. Difficult situation he is in considering that reception area has no real density and has to depend on topikk and that stuff @danny007: Who was ur clinic?

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 18 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 18 @danny007 are you taking any medication for your MPB? With the slight diffused appearance you may benefit from oral minoxidil (I'm not a doctor). Also I think if you grow your hair out more it might give a better effect. Still 6.5 months is not the final story. 👌 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult situation he is in considering that reception area has no real density and has to depend on topikk and that stuff @danny007: Who was ur clinic? Donor area is not over harvested. You have to compare before-after photos in the same donor length to say that. after a big number of grafts removed the donor area normally will look thinner than before, that doesn’t mean that’s over harvested. It depends on the donor density before the procedure. If the density is lower before the procedure, normally the donor will even thinner after the hair transplant. Also his appearance has changed a lot compared to before especially from the front. This area needed double the number of grafts to look full and that’s not final result too. If he lets his hair to grow out then it will look fuller at the next months. He still has 5.5 months for the final result. Higher norwood cases often have to compromise because they cant achieve the high density of small norwood cases.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted June 22 Moderators Share Posted June 22 The donor area doesn't look too bad to me. It's a bit thin, but there's no obvious patches of missing hair anywhere. It's pretty evenly thin all over and that makes it look normal. I don't think he'll be able to safely get many (any?) more grafts from it, so I think he'd have to use beard and body hair for a 2nd transplant.

Regular Member danny007 Posted July 19 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 19 7.5 months update. I decided to use a 8 guard on the top of my hair to make it even and I used a 5 gurard on the sides/back. These pics were taken in normal house lighting but all my pics prior to this were taken in direct window lighting. Please let me know your honest opinions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to improve this, I'm sure you can use some beard grafts in the midscalp or get some SMP. But its definitely a huge improvement from where you started.

Agree with this, considering your donor area probably wont have too many grafts left, utilising some beard grafts as well as SMP can give you a denser look. But in general it looks so much better than where you started from. How do you feel about it?

I mean in terms of my donor area not being the best from the start there is a huge improvement. However, this is the illusion it's giving under home light. If I was to go out in natural sunlight you could see that it's not dense. I am happy with the progress but not happy with the result (if that makes sense) I was hoping for more density. The only reason why it's looking better is because I used an number 8 guard to even it all out. Before that, there was so much more noticable gaps.

I would have preferred to be completely bald rather than diffuse thinning balding person. But what is your plan now since your donor area is empty? Maybe utilizing the beard and SMP? I know that Eugenix and Pitella can use a lot of beard grafts tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
