It has been 16 months since I had my first FUE procedure and I am not quite content with the results of the first procedure. There are large holes in the front part of the transplanted area and I can only brush my hair one way to hide it all. I want to grow my hair long but it is not possible with such thin hair so I have decided to have another procedure this time with a different clinic. I have started a new review so check it out

One year later

An update after 12 months, I have some more photos at the 10 month but we all know everyone wants to see the one year results. basically after the 7 month mark all the hairs or the vast majority of them had come through. since they time everything blended in together as it grew longer and the hairs started to look stronger. I have still not cut the new hair how ever I did go for the man bun look and had to cut the hair in the back or my head quite short and it looks still amazingly thick and not noticeable at all that 2800 grafts were taken from that area. As you can see in the photos, the new hair is not very thick and basically looks like I'm thinning heavily on the front. Also, the roots of the hair have been pimply like and look a little unnatural. my scalp looks like it has had a lot of small scars made on the front. which it has but that didn't show up until the hair started growing through. I will keep an eye on it as I'm sure the skin is still healing up.

Hey mate, did those scars at the front go away yet or you still have them? I'm about 5 months in myself and started to get my hair through. Anxiously waiting for a few more months to hopefully see the results I want.

Hey bro, I actually had a send procedure done after 16 months. Three scaring was less then obvious by then. But I will see how tire second one turns out.I did it to thicken the front up a lot more.

8 months review

Its been 8 months now since my operation and every day things are starting to look better. I haven't had a haircut yet, so my Afro-like hair is growing back which is helping everything tie together nicely. When the hair is left natural and fluffy it is starting to look much more full along the new hairline, if it is greasy it looks quite thin as the hair is more "clumpy" how ever if I brush my hair it is starting to look like I have never had a hair loss problem which is encouraging. I hope that gets better as time goes on.

hey man, i have a question. I have very similar hair to yours, albeit darker, i Imagine the balding process is also similar. Because i think in a few months time my hair will look more or less identical to yours at the beggining.
When you decided to get the FUE done. What area was treated and what did the doctors say about other parts of the hair potentially/eventually falling out?
Im just wondering as to when I should get it done. Now or later when more of my hair has disappeared.

Hey bro. Sorry to hear you are loosing hair like me! Haha, it's never fun. To be fair when I talked to some doctors in Thailand about a year previous to my surgery they told me I would go bald in the coming years which was upsetting, but I want to delay that as much as possible obviously.
When I went to Turkey a year later, they were mainly focused on the hairline as was I. I think the back is fine for now, I did want to 'future proof' myself and fill in any little gaps in the front area as I knew I would probably need another surgery in the coming years, but they didn't want to plant too many new grafts in areas on my head that already had a relatively decent amount of hair.
As to when you should get it done, it all depends what you are after. I was advised to wait till I was 35 or so when the balding process was a bit further along so the doctors could better see how much hair I was to loose in the future. I think for me I wanted hair now at this stage of my life as it is important to me and a confidence thing. This might mean that I will need more surgery done in the future to take care of the other areas as more falls out.
Hope that answers your question bro. I guess it will be all up to your personal preference. I just hope your hair loss stops! That would be the easiest solution.
Cheers

Did the redness of the skin from the site removal and transplant areas go away?
March 16, 2016
Yes, the redness went within a month but came back around month 4 but I think that was due to me being in the sun a lot.
