Severe bald spot in my donor area at 6 months post-op.

Hi everyone, I'm a bit over 6 months post-op(3261 grafts FUE with Dr.Demirsoy).

It seems like I'm heading towards a good result. It keeps improving and I've already come a long way.

However, there is a nasty bald spot under my thinning crown and it's much worse.
I had a lot of pimples in this area post-op, maybe I did not take care about it too well.

But I would also say that my surgeon took the grafts a bit too high.

Take a look at my donor area album, what do you think?

Do you think I have a chance to see it imprive at this point?

If not, what are my options? I would love to get SMP for thickening effect at Beauty Medicals but many people believe SMP for thickening effect is no good and turns to shit after a few years. I'm also afraid about it making a new transplant harder to perform.

Also, how many grafts do you think I have left in my safe zone, which looks clean. I'm on medication and closely following the potential new treatment updates, but I could very well need another procedure in a few years I'd like to have another 3000 units left as an insurance.

It`s hard to tell if the surgery has caused your crown to thin out more. Your crown may be thinning quicker due to MPB and you`re noticing it more after your HT.
Are you taking any meds?

Trico from Beauty Medical isn't "sh*t" and is in fact quite good for cases like this. You'll need top ups every year or so but the effect is very natural. I've had it done myself a few times and it has zero effect on any subsequent hair transplant procedures you may be considering.

Regarding your spot, we'd need to see the immediate post-op photos to get a better idea of what's going on because from this photo it looks like the spot in in the near center of your crown, which doesn't make sense at all.

On minox and fin, more religiously than ever.

It does look good, but for how long? A touch-up every year will cost much more than a HT. And it implies regular trips to Milan. Do you still reckon the permanent stuff is a bad choice?

Here are some immediate post-op pics, do you reckon the doc took grafts in a bad area?

I had a lot of pimples there post-op and did not take care about them too well.

Apart from that it seems my HT is going pretty well.

You could look for a Beauty Medical trained SMP provider closer to home.
