    • Month 8 directly facing sun: pic I took of back/donor area right after having it shaved down to a #2, directly facing sun:   honestly comparing to old pictures of #2 shave, I can’t really tell any difference in my donor area. Those pics are literally with direct sunlight shining on it.   id say I’m currently 80-85% happy with the results. Hoping for a little increase in density over the next 4 months. I mean if I’m being honest, when my hair is actually styled the density does look quite good already, just a few slightly thinner spots that the average person wouldn’t notice, but since I am always auditing my hair I notice. 
    • Hi all, wanted to provide you with an update. You have been so supportive and encouraging, so thank you very much for that. My procedure at Eugenix was clearly a very poor result. I don’t think there’s any other way to view it. I will never get the time I lost back, but here’s to hoping I continue to make progress and am at a point where I’m content soon. Life stopped post surgery. I lived in a hat and was in a very bad place with low self esteem and an enormity of regret. After many tens of thousands of dollars and numerous visits to experts around the globe, I found a dynamic duo (Konior and Mwamba) that has yielded some success. We have plans to continue in the coming year. Excuse some of the extra cropped photos. I value my anonymity very much but am sharing in hopes this helps somebody else. Step 1: Konior  | ~450 beard graft removal and redistribution  Before Konior surgery. Day of Konior surgery. Focus was to remote the helmet head / birds nest of beard hair to yield a more natural blend, even if I looked more bald in the process. Goal was to look more natural and less people staring at me.   Step 2: Mwamba | 800 scalp grafts into outer ring, 500 beard grafts combination of filling in beard gaps and also lower horseshoe of head, 500 chest grafts into donor  Mwamba had a tall order on this surgery. Objectives: - Build around the island that Eugenix implanted on to try and merge the sections. You can see in prior photos there was nothing implanted in the outer ring and much of below, and things just looked awful. - Implant into my neck/beard to restore the empty patches left by Eugenix. - Implant into the top corners of my head where there was no work done prior. - Remove the remaining Unger hairs from my temple that were not pulled in India. There were so many. - Remove some hairs at the center of my hairline to lift it, as it was made to dip way too low. - Do all of this with a no shave technique.    The red rings here would be his focus for the second session we had about a year later.  About 8 months later:   Step 3: Mwamba second session | 300 scalp grafts into various areas, some beard grafts into empty patches, some chest grafts into donor  Objectives: - Continue to rebuild back of head with empty areas. Mostly refilling the red rings shown above. - Remove additional hairs from center of hairline to raise it. The prior session was less aggressive as a test to see how it would heal. - More touch ups on gaps in beard  I didn’t take as many photos here. I was comfortable with Mwamba, and it was a relatively minor session with only a few hundred grafts moving.  After approximately one year, and current state:   The next session is with Konior coming up in a few months. We will be using scalp donor that I’ve been preciously saving to start giving me more volume on the top of my head. He has proposed a few sessions with a few hundred grafts a pop. It may seem nominal, but a few hundred in his hands can make a difference. I will also continue to see Mwamba to make use of body hair and targeting empty areas in the donor.    Please let me know your thoughts.
    • I had a friend go there as well and his came out great. Just always scared of the hair mill vibes
    • I’ve noticed over the last 6-9 months Rooney has almost religiously wore a hat. At Birmingham he wore it 24/7.    Last few months he’s relaxed that a little. Today he’s on Sky with a thin but more reformed hairline than previously. No doubt he has fibres but I wonder if he’s opted for additional SMP or some Beard/body grafts to boost what he has left?
    • 1 year, I tell you, these transplanted hairs are very wiry, and are much thicker than my native hairs at top, would probably have a second pass in the years to come just because of hair greed but over all pretty happy.
