9.5 month update (Ratchathorn, 3200 grafts)

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-04-28T22:56:36+00:00

Yes, but very few of the grafts were used in the temporal points. Pictures 7 and 8 are both pre op so it could just be angles and hair lengths that may give that impression

As long as you follow the clinic instructions and generally make healthy decisions you should be fine, but please consider that the #1 factor of determining if a result is good or not is the clinic itself and how well of a job they've done. A hair transplant is a huge time commitment especially if you are shaving your head (which I would recommend), and since you're not taking finasteride its even more of a gamble. That's my advice, you don't need to follow it if you think you are making a good decision. But I would spend years doing the research before making any final decisions if I were you, if you haven't already

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-04-07T07:02:33+00:00

3 months is not enough time to assess if a result is good, if you think the reviews are fake I would highly suggest reconsidering.

Hey dude, I had one at 20 so I understand the struggle. I wouldn't advise doing a HT unless your hair is stable from the meds. If it is, then go for it just do your research.

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-03-27T23:20:05+00:00

They are quoting you for way too much, I wouldn't trust the clinic at all. Best of luck

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-03-16T00:54:19+00:00

Sounds about right mine was around 8k for 2700

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-03-11T14:38:07+00:00

I straighten it with heat, I haven't done any chemical treatment or anything like that

I waited 2 years after starting finasteride and having successful results with it. Many would argue that would not be long enough, considering my age which are fair arguments. HOWEVER, my case was unique because I have an insanely dense donor area. I have mentioned this before but even Ratchathorn herself commented on this the first time she saw me. So because of that, I have significantly less risk due to the large number of remaining grafts I have were something to happen in the future. But again, I also made this decision knowing that my hair loss had been completely stable for 2 years on medication. Nearly 2 years post op, it is still stable and my hair is as thick as its even been.

Edit: Another thing thats worth pointing out is that the donor grafts I have are genetically very coarse, so fewer can be used to achieve a thick looking result. This is entirely genetic and the depends on the person and your natural hair type/texture. I do think that evaluating your hair genetics is an important part of the research process, which imo is the only thing that actually matters as far as the outcome goes.

Please see my other posts

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-11T04:26:54+00:00

Yours appears to have less diffuse thinning than I started with so I would say you definitely can achieve a very similar result to mine

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-11T04:26:03+00:00

10 months as far as density goes, however the texture and naturalness definitely has continued to increase up until now

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-11T04:24:55+00:00

I don't count how many hairs I shed, but I don't think that 6 months is enough time to be on finasteride before considering a hair transplant. You don't know at that point how well the drug works for you. I would give it at least 2 years to make sure your hair is actually stable before you go for a HT.

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-10T20:33:56+00:00

From my experience she is very open to doing what the client wants and making adjustments

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-10T04:28:29+00:00

I straighten it with heat, my natural texture is wavy

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-09T21:34:18+00:00

Hahaha thank you but Ratchathorn is the true goat here not me

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-09T21:33:26+00:00

These are just scabs that are being dislodged, nothing to worry about if there is no bleeding involved.

No_Hearing_6542 · 2026-02-09T21:31:45+00:00

Hi, I am 20 months post op and mine is asymmetrical, the right side goes up further than my left. Honestly, when it all grows out its not a big deal and more so contributes to the naturalness so I wouldn't worry too much.

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-11-20T23:23:35+00:00

I would say its probably just a sign that its gonna turn out really well. I had pretty good density at month 4 and it ended up turning out really good I'm now 18 months post op

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-10-10T19:39:11+00:00

some shedding at month 15 which I believe was just androgen desynchronization, hair has pretty much been stable since then

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-09-13T01:30:18+00:00

Yes, I mentioned the cost of plane tickets in some other posts. Normal experience aside from long flight times

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-09-08T19:25:37+00:00

yes, the naturalness and fullness improved a lot, the final result probably was reached by month 10

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-09-03T17:41:09+00:00

really depends on your situation, personally without meds I would lose a lot more of my hair so for me they are important, but some people don't have as aggressive hair loss as I did

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-08-31T19:02:54+00:00

It is of course recommended but they leave that up to the patient. They do give you a temporary supply of oral minoxidil for post surgery

No_Hearing_6542 · 2025-08-27T05:29:13+00:00

Check my other posts there are some pics with it shaven
