This is my current situation

Yep, I will upload some shortly.

Cheers man, yea it's been a minute but been busy with life and not thinking/worrying about my hair.

Well well gentlemen, time to update this thread again after a few years! Things have been pretty good hair wise untill about a year ago when I noticed some thinning at the front again. I contacted Dr Lorenzo and changed from Finasteride to Dutasteride which seems to have stabilised things but there is no getting away from the fact that I need to go and see the wizard in Madrid again.

I'll be heading over to get a topup of about 1200 grafts to repair the front and strengthen the midscalp.

Pics to follow of my current situation

Now well over a year since my procedure, update with photos incoming.

Looking fabulous dude, congratulations on the fantastic new hairline!! Enjoy your results

 

However, i am a bit confused as to decide whether these results were due to a good hair transplant or due to Propecia. I mean obviously the results are due to a combination of both, but, would you have still gotten the same result if you did not take propecia??

 

Also, i hope you do realise the dangerous side effects of propecia

 

Nontheless, your hairline looks natural and great!

Finasteride definitely had a great deal to do with the result, my hair is more course since taking finasteride. I'm well aware of the sides, I've not experienced any so far though.

Some updates from about a month ago, totally forgot to upload these, sorry guys.

Looks fantastic !! Congrats ! Do you have any scarring in the donor ? Also can you have your hair cut at the back and sides as short as before surgery or do you have to have your hair longer ?

No scarring in the donor area, I can wear my hair short if I want but I usually don't go shorter than a 2 guard on the clippers.

Can't wait. Can you take pics of the hair one please and density of the hairline

Sure. I'lltry to get some close ups of the hairline for you.

What I've realised, and this has been said many times on here, is that a HT is not the same as your natural hair. What I mean is it's an ilusion - the density is not the same as it was before I went bald but this was never going to be possible in my case due to my donor supply and hair caliber. That said, I now have what I would consider a full head of hair. I recently went for a haircut - the first time at a local barbers - the hairdresser was telling me that her son, in his early 20's, is losing his hair. I said that there are treatments and that I'd had surgery. She was totally taken back as she could not believe my hair wasn't as nature intended, so hats off to Dr Lorenzo!

New update with photos incoming, busy with work and life as usual.

I've been thinking more about a second surgery but I'm going to wait till 2017 for another consultation with Dr Lorenzo.

Still very happy with the results, every day I look in the mirror I feel a lot better about the decision I made to get the surgery and it's given me bags more confidence.

Looking good buddy

I would keep your hair that lenth as it suits you & shows some nice density even with fine hair you seem to have.

I've actually been wearing it slightly longer and trying different styles. It's pretty weird having a hairline again!

Hey guys! I'm very sorry for the lack of updates. I've had a very busy few weeks/months with a change of job. Luckily I've not been worrying about my hair as I'm feeling very happy with my results so far and improved self confidence.

Prices are as stated above unless Jose has changed pricing since my operation.

Pics this time show my barnet with a stying product in it.

I am on meds - 7.5mg of Proscar per week.

This is a very nice FUE result and still a lot of time to mature.

 

Out of curiosity, what is your donor density? And how many grafts did Dr. Lorenzo say you have left?

 

Congrats!

Thanks guys, your words are greatly appreciated.

Donor density is 70-80 grafts per sq cm IIRC - I'd need to look at the paperwork from my consultation to be sure.

I have around 5500 usable grafts available, the breakdown of the grafts in the first post shows I have a lot of 2 and 3 hair grafts available if required.

I'm really pleased with the result so far, even if it does not improve further than this I will be happy. I look in the mirror and feel happy about the way I look now & that's what all this is about.

Here is a quick comparison, this was taken at the 5 month mark.

Quick 6.5 month update - I'm still very pleased with the result. Everything seems to be coming along nicely and I've stopped worrying about my hair, my self confidence is definitely improved.

Sounds good. Can you take tons of pics when you do

Anything in particular?

Im very happy with the results so far, i feel i have my hair back. Perhaps a visit to Dr Lorenzo might put your mind at rest.

Not much has changed since the last update so i will post another at 6 months.

Looking excellent. When compared to your pre-op photos, the difference is huge. To see this result so early on must be really encouraging. Money well spent Sir.

 

So wondering if the redness has faded totally for you. Hard to tell from the shots, but looks like there may be a small amount lingering?

 

If you do go for a second pass, will be so much easier, as you'll have a hairline etc and look normal again very soon afterwards. Great decision.

There is some redness still but its fading. My fair skin doesnt help.

Im very encouraged by the results so far. I think i will be having a second operation to add density to the front and in the crown.

Thanks for the kind words.

Amazing result, Props to H&W and Garageland.

Sorry for the delay guys, been really busy with work and home life.

So, this is my 4.5 month update. Things are looking good at the front but the mid scalp looks a little thin in these photos. I kinda wish I'd had some grafts put in there but I'm happy to go back to Dr Lorenzo next year for another operation if required.

Also would you do it again. Would you do fut over fue as of right now

Overall I'm really pleased with the results so far, it's much better than I expected at this stage. I still have another 7.5 months of growth before the 1 year mark, so things can only get better!

Thanks

New pics coming this weeknd, ive been away on business, sorry.

Any new updates. Would love to see a close of up the hairline combed back

Update coming in the next couple of days but coming along nicely and still really happy with the result so far.

Fantastic result!

3 Month update, sorry for the delay in uploading the pictures. I'm extremely pleased with the results so far, I can style my hair again and I've stopped using the Nanogen.

Lots of thickening up to come hopefully...

Looks really good Petchski, I'm really pleased with my 3 month results as well.

As you say, some people have no tact...
