Any update on the final results?

[Templesrunner]

Hey all,

7 months update.

I am super happy with the result thus far. ASMED did a great work. I'm getting alot of compliments from friends and*familiy. the density allows me to comb my hair up which i like.*

I can say that i had my doubts on coming back to ASMED for the 2nd HT after I wasn't happy with the density of the first HT -*Now i can honestly say I*did the right choice.

some pics are with wet hair (I know I need a hair cut )*

Easy to say, but don't get stressed. I learnt the hard way and shaved my head. Have a read of this book. Its free https://amzn.to/3sqL27I

Here are some more pictures in different lighting.

I'm very happy with the density improvement.

Hey guys it's been about 4 months from the second HT.

The density greatly improved - i can finally style my hair upwards and not only down

it's still not 100% but much much better than before - so I'm happy.

judging from my first HT my growth is between month 4 and month 6 and that's it, so I have 2 more months of growth I guess.

I'm happy with the result thus far and believe it still going to improve.

Asmed clearly did a great job this time.

See you in month 6

Hi TemplesRunner, any further update on your progress?

[BillSims]

Wow - even shaved you can see the improvement in density. You’re lucky you have a lot of donor hair!

Hey all,

10 days post op update.

the scabs are gone, and the density looks good. I just hope all the grafts will survive.
the back right side is a bit less dense than the back left side, but with longer hair i hope it won't be noticed.

I really hope the first HT hair will continue to grow normally and that it wasn't harmed during the 2nd HT, and i won't suffer any kind of shockloss.


the donor area is healed and there is no scars just a little bit of redness but it's normal.

i took pics in 3 different lightings (daylight, camera flash, and warm light)

Hey everyone,*

Quick update: I arrived yesterday to instanbul and did a pre-op checkup and cosultation with the Dr.

Everyone in the clinic, the Dr and*my coordenator, suzana, is amazing and i get the feeling that they will do anything they can to insure my satisfaction.

In the consultation, I asked the Dr the "big questions" - Why did the hair grew with a mediocure density and what are we gonna do differently this time to change that.

He examined me, before and after the shave, and he came to the conclution that even though most of my grafts were doubles (2.1 average) i have alot more singles. He explained that we do not see bald areas, but the density is more or less the same through out the HT area, that means the graft did grow but some as single instead of doubles.*

I asked him what is the*cause*for that, may the grafts got hurt in*the proccess? He said that it happen some times when one hair is strong and thick and the other is weaker, and the medical sience do not know yet the particular reason for it. He said propecia reduce the chance for it to happen, but overall it's just happens.

He said that 1200 graft should give me more density, and now because the area is not totaly bald like before, he can do better desity as he is doing less incisions close to one another and more incisions between the first HT hairs. With this number he took in the account that some doubles will grow as singles even though it's been 1.5 years and it's not neceserly going to hapoen again - just to be safe.

Before I*came the number i was thinking about was 1000-1200 so his plan is reasnoble in my opinion

I also said that this my sec HT and i don't want to come back again- and i want to be setisfied with outcome - the Dr really appreciated that i put my trust in him once more, even though i'm not happy with density and he promised me i will be happy this time.

I'm not a negative person, and the first HT really improved my situation 1000% than before, so i gave him credit where i thought he did a great job:

1. The extraction was a masterpiece in my opinion - all the hair dressers i go to are amazed - no scars, even extraction - looks completly natural.*

2. The hair line is exactly what i wanted (even though lack in density). No zig zag, no doubles, fits perfectly with the shape of my head.

3. The temple point are also very nice and natural.

4. When i comb my hair down it looks great, the lack of density do not shows.

So the op is monday 7.9.20, wish me luck!

I trying to me optimistic and stay positive. Lets hope that in 8 months i will update you guys that i'm super happy!*

Here is me with shaved hair- not so bad

[Templesrunner]

Hey & sorry for the late update.

I am not happy with HT density (it's 18 months now). i have talked to the clinic and scheduled for a second HT in the 7.9 (in 2 weeks).

i'll keep you guys posted.

2 photos with the hair up - you can clearly see the poor density

2 photos with the hair down - which is ok and looks good.

i'll keep you posted.

Dude I think it looks brilliant

[McAnthony]

I have similar hairline to yourself, receding badly but not as much as yours, i dont think it looks that bad, being dark hair also makes the skins stand out worse imo. Have you spoke to surgeon, can they arrange a top up in the area that need it?

What happened in the end?
