lol! I know, sorry about the terrible pictures I only had access to an older Iphone Have a shiny new iPhone 12 so will be posting better pics.

Hi I will get round t posting pictures that are better quality. I have been distracted by the pandemic and have been focusing on other things. Here is a picture I took last week of the front.

Hi I will update soon. Ive just passed the 12month mark and things a lot better since the ;last pics. With the current pandemic I have had my focus in other places so will provide pics when I can

Hi The grafts planted throughout the vertex & crown have made a huge difference. To be honest I actually forgot about those grafts as my focus has always been hairline, but recently I realised that I no longer have any see through parts on the top apart from an area in the crown which is very small. I do not recall any details on remaining donor I will ask the Dr at my check up in October.

Hi I had my first HT (FUT) 10 years ago and Dr Hasson was not doing FUE back then so it was an easy decision. If I was to do it again I would have 2 FUE as the down town and healing is easier and although my scar is faint I do have to have it cut in a certain way to avoid it showing through.

Hey, Thanks for the comment How is your hair coming along? Fingers crossed I have some more maturing to do as the hairline is a tad sparse along the left & right hand sides of he hair line so I am hoping it will beef up in these parts.

lol that just shows you my lack of camera knowledge I don't even know what a 0.000001 megapixels is. I have an iPhone 8 nd the camera is crap, I took the newest pics on my MacBook camera. !

I have tried to take pictures in better light. First 3 are dry hair last 3 are wet. You can see in the wet pics the hairline on the left corner needs to mature otherwise it will definitely need a top up, the same goes for the right side. There is also a small part in the middle of hairline that is similar too. Its really important to say that one set of pics does not represent the result. Some days my hair feels very dense and full and other days it looks very thin and see through. Also depending on lighting and styling etc as to how the hair will look. As said in my previous post if I can get the areas at the left & right side to thicken up by maturing or having an additional top up then it will be the perfect result for me.

Yeh going to try take better pictures tomorrow during the day.

Hi All, September 11th will officially be my 9 month progress. Apologies for the poor quality iPhone camera but its all I have. I have also included a pic of me prior to any transplants showing I have come along way.I have tried to take the pictures in the same lighting as possible. The pictures that I upload shows an honest image of what the hair looks like under harsher lighting. Under more flattering lighting it looks far more dense so I wanted to be as upfront as possible. Things have progressed since month 6 and it appears to be beefing up somewhat. I do have to stress that no matter how succusefull your HT is there are so many factors involved and you have to find the right style to compliment the illusion of density. This is my 2nd procedure and have had 7500 grafts altogether by two top docs (Hasson & Bisanga). My native hair is very fine so I am never gonna get that thick mane that we all desire. That being said I am happy with the progress so far. I would like the hairline to be more dense in the left corner & right corner but I have 3 months to go so there is time for some more maturing. I would hazard a guess that the Dr will likely do a top up in these areas if it doesn't progress. Progress is happening though and it helps to look back at pics to see how far it has come. If the front could mature some more it will be perfect. First 3 pics are hair dry, last 3 are wet. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Hi Yes that is correct the hairline is fuller. The previous pics I posted were of 5 months post op and todays pics I posted are 7 months. I always take pics that shows the imperfections. Thanks for your comment 😉

Hi All So here is my 7months update pics, I did not post 6 months pics as there was no really changes from 5 months to 6 months. Firstly I think it is very important to mention the following points as there is always more to the story than the picture. : My natural hair is extremely thin and always was : My hair grows in crazy different directions, Hasson & Wong told me this on HT No.1, Dr Bisanga told me this on HT No.2, barbers have been telling me all my life. My reason for mentioning this is that I can not really wear my hair in a brushed forward style because of the different hair growth directions as it just does not sit forward so I usually have always had to style my hair in a more brushed back style. The pictures are extreme brushed back for photo purposes only so you can get to see exactly what is going o in the recipient areas. When styling my hair I do my best not to brush it so extremely back as we all know a hair transplant is an illusion of density so you do have to work with this illusion and style it in the best way you can. : I have tried to take pictures in different lighting settings, I have an older style I phone so quality is not great. I still have 5 months to go until the 12 month mark and then even beyond things can thicken up. At this stage I am slightly worried that the density is just not there and transplanted hairs in the hairline are not blended in with my native hair which is an issue, however I have 5 months to see if this is going to be an issue. In person my hair looks better than it does in the pictures. I do not want to get to the 12 month mark and still be trying to style my hair in a way that I am having to hide the lack of density etc, but at the same time I do understand that I am not going to have a full head of hair like in my 20's ( I am 44) but my main achievement I want from this transplant is for my native hair and the transplanted hair in the hairline and directly behind it to be blended so it looks natural, at the moment it looks unantural. I dont think anybody is really satisfied at the 7month mark and I am experienced enough to know things can improve over the next 5 months. Dr Bisnaga and the wonderful Hilde will look after me and if a top up is needed this will be done. Of course I would rather not have to do this again but sometimes you just have to. Feedback and comment's are always appreciated. Thanks for reading

Hey, I will be posting month 7 mid July. I do feel that It is lacking density and see through but I am 6.5 months and will give it a few more months to mature. Did you go back for a top up etc? Do you have any pics ?

Hi, My hairline was never lowered originally and this time around I wanted some temple work. The hairline has not been lowered as such just the temples filled in.

Hey, Im not disappointed at all, I just think it is maybe a little early to to be considering 3rd HT by this stage.
