Today I hit the 1 month post op mark, nothing really to report all is well no redness or pain etc. Seems that I have shed most of the transplanted hairs now, just waiting for my native hair to grow back so I can style as I did prior to this procedure. My iPhone camera is pretty crap so probably not the best pics. I have taken them by the window so the pics likely appear more harsh than in person, the last pic is taken away from window and you can see the difference in density, I am not to fussed about any of that for now as it is early stages. any feedback or questions gladly accepted. Will be posting monthly progress pics and hopefully have better camera next time.

Here is a picture before my first HT with Hasson & Wong 9 years ago where I had 4000+ strip method and the 2nd picture was December 2019 shortly before HT number 2, 3000 FUE with Bisanga. The rest are pre/post op with Dr Bisnaga.

Yeh the scar is pretty much undetectable. If I shave my y hair a certain length you would never know it is there. For me thats why it is important to do your research and go with a reputable doctor

16 days post op. All going well to date, not much redness and donor area looks back to normal. The lighting here is very unflattering and harsh my iPhone camera is not the best, so in person it looks way more dense, the lighting in pics can really make a huge difference, I will try to experiment with various lighting to give comparisons on next pics. The area in the hair line on right hand side that I was concerned about even 2 days post op as I could see it was less dense even at that early stage is due to the Doctor implanting less grafts there to avoid shock loss. I was concerned at this as I would have thought that area would look just as dense as the left side if there was already a good amount of native hair there (hence having less grafts in that spot). I have to just be patient and trust in Dr Bisanga.This is my secoond transplant (1st with Dr Hasson 9 years ago) so I am trying to be more laid back this time about outcomes (easier said than done)!!

Hey, I am 9 days out now and had my first hair wash at day 8 which felt great and all the scabs came off nicely without encouragement. As you can see from the pictures attached there is an area on the right hand side towards temple that the scalp is more visible than the left side. I noticed this even when there was scabbing at around day 3 so I doubt it is shedding. the other picture below is immediately after surgery and you can actually make out the area in question as it looks less darker than the left side. Obviously this is an anxious time as you all know I have emailed the doc so awaiting response, anybody experienced anything similar. My worst fear is that less grafts were placed here but Dr Bisanga is world class so I highly doubt that is the case but you cant help but worry. Thanks for reading

Hi, when I did my research 10 years ago Hasson came out on top for me, I am form London but distance was never an issue, wanted to get the best doctor possible. I was a diffuse thinner originally so it is no surprise that my hair has thinned over the 10 years. After researching for over a year Dr Bisanga came out on top for me, it was just a bonus he was a train ride away. I met him and the lovely Hilde in London a couple of times and I knew he was the man for the job.

Hi 43 and on fin for 9 years

Thanks very helpful info. Do you take it with food ?

Hi what gram of oral minoxidil do people generally take, I have the 5mg tablets, I believe it is ok to take alongside finasteride ? Any experiences on oral Minox??

This was my pics before HT number 1, 9 years ago

HI, So here I am again. I had my first HT with Dr Hasson in Canada around 9 years ago where I had strip method 4500 grafts. It was a success however as I was a diffuse thinner and now the years have past it did thin somewhat. I found Dr Bisnaga after doing my research and knew he was the man for the job for HT number 2. I had 2900 grafts by FUE literally yesterday 11/12/19 and arrived back home in London today 12/12/19. My goal was to lower hair line fill in temples and mid to back region also. It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Supidly I fell asleep an d lost some grafts during the night from the back (around 30 grafts) but what will be will be and I am just going to take the time to recover and look forwrad to my new results. I am terrible at taking pics and only do so on iphone so please forgive the quality .

Doing my research so would be very interested to hear from those more in the know who there top 3 docs for FUE & Strip are and why ?( hairline work- temples filled in & lowered & hairline beefed up a bit) Much appreciated

Hi Thanks for responses I will aim to put pics up. Also Dr Bisanga has been a name that has been reccomended. Can anyone post their top 3 FUE DOCS ( for hairline / temple work ) & top docs for strip method also for hairline / temple work

Dr Bisanga is a name that I see positive resukts with FUE come up, does anyone reccomend him ?

Hi thanks for reply.. dr diep name seems to come up when researching FUE hairlines any feedback on him anybody ?

Hey again So it's been around 6 years or so since my first HT with Dr Hasson where I received 4500 grafts which was and still is life changing stuff !!! I feel now that I would like my hairline at then temples to be lowered and filled in as i would like to wear my hair with a grown out buzz cut but feel my hairline is to high at the temples. As it has been a long time since I have been on the forums I was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations for good quality FUE doctors especially for hairline and temple work. I am London based but will travel to where the good docs are !! I see H&W are doing FUE now, when I was at their clinic they said they didn't do it as the results were questionable, curious to know if any body has had FUE from them? I have been estimated at 800-1000 FUE for temple work Thanks ?

So the time has come for me to consider having second procedure following from my first one with Dr Hasson around 3 years ago. I am looking into Dr Pathomvanic in Bangkok as have heard some good things about him and cost is a factor this time around. Looking to have some temple work done will supply pics soon. Wanted to know if Dr P has a representative that you communicate with or is it with the doc himself. I have sent in some pictures and a few details but haven't heard anything back. Looking on some feedback from those that have contacted him and how this works ?? Thanks in advance

I am looking to order my supply of finasteride ( generic) from Dr Singh at UKfinasteride as recommended by spec and others on this forum. I have had my last 2 prescriptions from him. As money is a tad tight just now wondering if anyone wants to go 50/50 on a 17 month supply @ ?179 so that would be ?89.50 each for 8.5 months supply.. Happy to do the order and send your supply recorded delivery. I have been a member on this forum for few years and had my H.T with Dr Hasson so all above board. Let me know if anyone's interested?? Thanks :-)

thanks guys much appreciated, and yes i an an old email for you spex

Hey Been a while since i posted as just getting on with life with my new hair ;-)... Anyway have ran out of my supply of finasteride ( generic) and keen to purchase some more. It was spex who gave me contact details of a Dr who was supplying in the uk, ( have lost the Dr's contact details). Not been able to get hold of spex so can anyone point me in the right direction?? Happy healing and growing to you all.

hi You dont need a visa to enter canada if you are coming from uk and are uk citizen. A letter from Dr Hassons office detaiing your procedure is handy to have to give to customs as they did stop and ask me a load of questions, this was due to the fact that i was travelling 2 canada for 3 days only and had only hand luggage which i presume looked not the norm to them

Thanks for comment. Looked at your blog and from the way things look just now you are sure gonna have great result. Happy growing. Hang in there as it gets better better ..

Heu Guys Well it has been exactly 1 year to the day i had my procedure with Dr Hasson. Time has gone quick i must say and i am truley delighted with my result. It has changed my life seriously, to the way i look and to the way i feel. It honestly feels like i have had a dream come true so thanks to Dr Hasson for that. Dr Hasson got richer i got my hair back ... fair deal !!! Pics were taken today in both natural and indoor lighting to give a feel of how the 2 look. Just on my way to get a haircut which i used to dread but now i love it and dont need the hairdressers to be empty as before i would rush back to put concealers on, now i can just get it cut and go about my day without even having to wear and wax or gel so that in itself is amazing!!! I will no longer be active on the forums as i have my hair back and closing this chapter shut, however i will answer any emails if you have any questions or want more pics or advice etc. Thanks to all of you who have helped with this journey especially Joe form H&W top guy !! and also spex for hois help in the begining when i had hundreds of questions another top guy. Not being biased or anything :-) but Hasson and Wong all the way!! :-))))))))))))
