HISTORY of gc83uk's former slick bald recipient area

[gc83uk]

Maybe I'm missing what you're saying here. But I see a circle with a diameter varying between about 4.5 and 5.5 cm. Let's assume 5 cm on average, so that would be 78 cm2, right ? What am I missing here ?

How can the diameter be between 4.5 and 5.5 cm?

And even if it were, how would you get 78cm2 from that? lol

A diameter of 5cm2 avg would bring 2.5cm radius.

2.5cm2 x PIE = 19.6

WTF?

For example on this picture:

To me (but then again I might be wrong here) it really seems that the priorly bald area starts at about 1 cm, running to 10, so that's 9cm diameter right ?

Hehe, sorry, of course I meant radius, forgive my English here Anyway, that's why I say it's between 4.5 and 5.5. Or wouldn't you agree ?

Forgiven, my Dutch ain't all that.

How do you get average of 10cm diameter then? Is that what you're saying? Show me with the pictures why you think it's 10cm avg diameter, even though I have shown you the 1st picture at 11cm and the 2nd is tough to call at 10cm, there is an image showing grafts at 14.5 /15cm would you like me to point them out?

OK to answer this exact post, the new grafts you see to the left of the 1cm mark are all new. Basically where it is 0cm is where the new grafts start. The tape measure has a metal stub end kind thing, its digging into my scalp for the picture and it gives the effect of the tape measure being raised in the air, which is why the 1cm kind looks like where it starts but it's actually 0cm.

It doesn't end at 10cm, this is why you need to see the next photo, I haven't moved the measure inbetween photos, but you can see the new grafts going as far as 15cm, you can see those right?

If you look at the last few pictures you've posted and everything you say is true (and I believe you), then yes, the area could be about 100 cm2. I just still can't explain this picture then: http://postimg.org/image/4mn9yz8jh/

What's the optical illusion there then ?

Anyway, if it's indeed 100 cm2-ish and has 50 hairs/cm2, then that would amount to 5000 hairs which equals 2000 FUE grafts. It's a little bit better than I thought it was (1800 FUE grafts). But still very well possible with FUE.

hurray my job is done here. It's only taken my twelve hours to convince you lol

LOL. I'm not trying to piss at you Gaz. I seriously just still don't get it when I look at this picture: http://postimg.org/image/4mn9yz8jh/full/
How do you explain it then ?

[gc83uk]

On a serious note I'm back on my phone so I can't see the image in question. Images can be deceiving, but I have posted plenty to hopefully counteract those doubts. Now it's time for some sleep.

Look I have actually just viewed that image, but you have to work with me on this. You're basically wrong. There is 1cm which you can add underneath and you can add probably another one or two cm on top.

Now you're going to say but gaz that's only 9cm aren't you? Go on try me, but I thought you were smart. I think you can answer you're own question here.

That picture is the main reason I couldnt believe the area to be anywhere near 100 cm2. But those other pictures you've shown do make it look like it could be 100 cm2. Anway I'm really tired too, gotta get some sleep too, will look at it tomorrow.

Ok, so if that's true, then I just see the wrong boundaries. I thought that 6 cm was about it, maybe 7. But you're saying its much larger. I see a clearly different direction in hairgrowth above those 6 blocks, hence I figured that was your original hair. And there's a lot of density increase below those 6 blocks, so that seemed like your original hair. But you're saying that's incorrect and that it should be about 5 blocks added ?

Bingo. There is grafted slick scalp even beyond that picture. I tried explaining this multiple times to you and didi. I would guess just around the top of those 6 cm is where the untouched section of the 4th hst is. Beyond that they tried to go quite dense to blend into my crown area.

With me?

I'm surprised you're asking all this. You have access to all the pics. You can't rely on 1 picture mate.

[Arashi]

You can't rely on 1 picture mate.

There's only 1 pre-op picture and it's really impossible to tell what's the beginning of the area and what's the end. I'm just assuming you tell the truth, I have no way to verify it. That's all. How can I extrapolate the area according to you ? I'm just going by what make sense (the sudden difference in density and the sudden change in direction of the grafts). But according to you that was wrong. And I believe you. That's all man.

[Arashi]

Anyway, you're claiming the area is about 100 cm and if the boundries are like you claim them to be, then yes, it could be 100 cm.

My whole point was, this isn't something that couldn't be done with FUE. And even if the area is 100 cm2, that would indicate 2000 FUE grafts and hence it just seems a normal FUE result.
