Hi, I’ve had my first procedure of just over 2000 grafts on my Norwood 7 ish head . This was done by Dr Bessam Farjo in Manchester. I realise you were not a Norwood 7, May I ask, you have had 3 procedures, how did the first two go. The reason I’m asking is i hopefully intend to have two more , another 2000 and maybe another 1000-1500. John .
Good question, I had my first one age 24, second one age 26 and as you can see in the above pictures alot of my transplanted hair slowly thinned as this is not what 4,500 FUE should look like.
Dr Farjo did not touch the very front so I put down the frontal rethickening down to oral minoxidil . For me oral minox has been the only treatment that has shown great results.
Although you cannot see in the pictures, I did take monthly pictures and the results from oral minoxidil started coming through before my transplanted hair hair had grown through.
The below photo is my front at 4 months post op where Dr Farjo did not touch so clearly minoxidil magic. The one with the longer hair is me 12 months after my 2nd op in 2013 (not Dr Farjo)
