Healing in the first 2 weeks is definitely fast, obviously due to the smaller damage to both donor and recipient. However I doubt that the *redness* disappears quicker than with FUE. In my case my recipient stayed (somewhat) noticably red for at least 7 months. I have seen pictures though from other patients who got through this way quicker so obviously it seems to differ greatly from person to person.

You should definitely go for a cheap FUE in Turkey, so that you’re able to report us each and every difference with more certainty.

Thanks for the tip, JarJarbinx. Err, Ironman.

Hi Gaz.

I've taken the 3 weeks after the procedure off work so that I can just relax and not worry about the dry skin. Haha.

What do you think about me putting 1000 grafts in my crown and 400 beefing up the hairline? Good or bad idea?

Hi C5000 i personally think that is a very smart idea to attack the front and the back as you explained before. you should follow your idea 400harline+1000crown

Yeah, to be honest it's the crown that upsets me the most.

That's always the bit I take most notice of when I see balding people. A slightly thinner scalp is a lot easier to hide or ignore than a big hole in the crown.

Have you been to Hasci mate?

I've often heard on these forums that implanting in the crown area is a black hole. Basically they don't appear to go far for the overall effect if you get me, but I suppose you have to graft this area at some point and if it bothers you the most then, 'fill your boots'

When is your next procedure? I'm guessing you and Iron Man will be going around the same time again, just as you both did last year.

Hmm i also heard that about the crown, but i dont know how true is that.

My problem is that my crown will be the first thing to go bald. Im following exactly my dads nw5 pattern, where the loss is in this order:
Temples+hairline>crown>mid scalp.

My crown is already see through from many angles and i will have to do something in the next 1-3 years.

Before doing front hst i have already seen a couple of results of front that would look natural on young guys like me. However, i havent seen much hst crown work and i dont know how i should proceed.

is there any chance that HASCI operates without shaving down completely?

Hi Gaz

I've heard that about the crown too.

I had my 2nd procedure yesterday and will put up my pictures in a separate thread in the next half an hour.
