My FUE Experience

[titansfan777]

Here is a picture from last month on 6/12/15:


I have let the hair continue to grow since that picture, and I wash it thoroughly over couple days.

Yeah, the more I look over photos the less confidence I have in the procedure I got. The doctor/patient relationship is pretty much non existent in this case, with him only communicating if I initiate contact, and even so, it is a 5 minute appointment with him and the rest of the time I am with his 2 assistants for the remaining 10 minutes or so.

I was already planning on getting a second procedure done to hit the crown area, but it looks like I may have another surgery after that at this rate...which makes me nervous because I don't know how many surgeries I can have before I run out of donor hair. Is there a rough amount back there that I should be aware of? I mean I already used 2000 grafts from the back - how many more do I have left before it starts to look noticeably less full back there?

Only a qualified hair transplant surgeon can make that assessment for you.

While it's true that there is no 100% guarantee with any medical procedure, this highlights for me the importance of doing thorough research and finding a top surgeon in the field when choosing to get a hair transplant. I really hope that this turns around for you and you end up with the results you were expecting. If you don't however, I would look into other options and get opinions with some recommended doctors.

Personally, I would make sure to always go to a doctor that only does hair transplants exclusively. It's my personal opinion, but I would trust a doctor who specializes in any one thing much more than a "general plastic surgery" facility. Take that into consideration if you end up needing to look elsewhere for improved results.

I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My opinions/comments are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.
