Question actually guys
So it's been a full 1 year. Any chance I could expect any further growth? - I've heard in some cases, to see full results can sometimes take longer than 1 year (saw someone mention 18 months somewhere)?
Cheers
Thanks for the replies guys
Honestly even now, when I look in the mirror, my hair doesn’t look as good (as it can get) as it does in the pics! - must be the lighting
Overall though I guess I’m happy and very happy I took the plunge and went for it. With and without the concealer fibres, it’s a big improvement
I’ll look into having a further procedure subject to the available donor area obviously. This time though I’d like an unshaved procedure (not go full shaven skinhead). I know this is of course far messier and probably more expensive but I think I’d rather that. Last time I made very little contact with anyone other than the wife, for a good 4 weeks, and I wouldn’t want to do that again. Anyway see what happens I guess
Fingers crossed I’ll have the available donor, I’d probably opt for adding a little more density to the front with the remainder going to the crown
I’ll post another pic later with fibres on and the little qiff I’ve got going on!
Cheers guys
Guys
Ok so here’s me at a full 1 year
I guess some things to note (incase you’ve missed my original post when I started the thread);
* Due to my excessive hair loss the end result was going to be very limited. I was told by all surgeons I spoke to - unfortunately I would never again have a full head of hair
* Due to my hair being pretty fine and fair, there wasn’t huge amount to take from my donor area
* The hairs I had transplanted were spread and placed from the front to halfway back
How do I feel about the end result?...
I guess I have to be pretty happy to be fair although yes I was hoping and expecting a little more density. I’m still thickening up with the nanogen fibres (not in these pics) and with these my hair looks a whole whole lot better. Much more thicker and fuller
Infact, for the first time in around 20 years I was able to style my hair differently!! I think it looked pretty good (I’ll upload another pic in a few days)
Not having the procedure, I know I didn’t have very long left using the fibres alone to cover my baldness
Likely I’ll look into a further procedure, if donor area allows
See attached pics. Before and after (though I have to say, when I look in the mirror, it doesn’t look as good as it does in the pics)
Thanks for the post Jimbo
My end result was never going to be particularly amazing due to a combination of extensive hairloss and my available donor area
I am though of course hoping that my result further improves, once ive hit the 1 year mark (im at 9 months now)
Cheers
Guys,
Ive not been able to reach Dr Ashcroft to make my usual order of Proscar / Finisteride (Ive ordered from him for years)
Does anyone know if he is still operating? - Or anywhere else i could purchase this from (Im located in London)?
Many thanks
8 months from date of procedure - Pics just after a haircut (including trim of new hair)
Really hope to see further results. At least though the nanogen fibres have something to cling onto! My wife tells me she can see good growth and that my hair looks miles thicker and fully with the fibres
Hard to say i know, but do you think i can expect much more growth (i know new growth can take upto 1 year)
Cheers
Hi David
If i have the available donor, i will be looking at second procedure
btw, i saw you on twiter, re your visit to David Golds House! How was it? Typical of West Ham, we're back to our average selves! :rolleyes: The life of a West Ham fan eh....
Also please let me know of my recent pic upload
Guys
UPDATE - 4 1/2 MONTH
See a few pics
Considering the expected wait time for new growth, at this stage, i guess im not expecting too much
Although saying that, its seems that some of the transported hair has stayed in tact (not shedded), and has just grown longer. Ive been to the barbers a whole number of times since the procedure but this area hasn't been touched at all. Just a usual tidy up around the sides
What be great to get some feedback on what you think (remember, my transplanted hairs didnt go from front to back - coverage was around 60/65% back - see my previuos pics)
Cheers
Ok cheers. That is quite different from the other reply though
Im basically 2 1/2 weeks past now, have seen growth, and wondering if thats basically 'IT'
I'll post up at a pic this Friday anyway as that'll be 3 weeks since the op (and im expecting to start shedding by then or shortly after) .
Cheers
