Hey guys I had done a HT in Istanbul for 2500 grafts targeting my hairline and midscalp. I noticed I had diffuse thinning when my head was shaved in Istanbul and really didn’t know I had it cause I’m not shedding a lot. Anyways, I originally went to improve my hairline and make it straighter. I told the doc that I wanted density in the midscalp as well. The issue is I got 500 grafts throughout my midscalp and the remaining 2000 in the hairline area. They claimed my midscalp area is still “strong” and there are hairs still in that area just not as dense. However they didn’t mention the risk of avoiding transplanting that area as there is a chance the healthy hair there could be shock lossed. I woulda maybe just done the front in that case idk, still thought I needed more density there.
Anyways I’m 28 years old and my balding has not stabilized but I’m unable to take finasteride due to the side effects I experienced. Currently just on minoxidil and switching to oral next week. The problem now is though I’m 5 months out and am still experiencing shock loss in my midscalp area as my native hairs aren’t there compared to what I used to have. I used to have good density still even though I was diffuser thinning. Now it so exaggerated. Either I should have received more grafts or I should not have gotten grafts added in the midscalp area if I’m a diffuse thinner. What do you all think, I think I was justified getting grafts in my midscalp area as it was clearly weak but not being on finasteride obviously could’ve shock lossed them for good. I’d like to mention my hair loss wasn’t drastic but now it’s a much more obvious when not styled.
Has anyone gotten their old hair back after 6 months as a diffuse thinner? Someone help me out with their experiences.
First pic is me before transplant, last 5 pics after now.
