Please see attached 3.5 month update.. please note that all my updates are taken in the dark with the flash on my phone as I feel it's the best and truest reflection I can give with nowhere to hide under the flash.

5 week update

First 3 are five days post op. And last one is just now after a wash going into 8th day, scabs are loosening during washes and almost clear now

My surgery is in 2 weeks with Dr Lorenzo, quite excited and relieved to hear he is still the perfectionist he was from his early days. Can't come fast enough. Happy growing! and I will be following your progress closely.

Good luck mate, you're in good hands. Do you have a thread I can follow? All the best ?

Pictures are 24 hours post surgery with Dr Lorenzo in Madrid. The aim to increase density following excellent coverage in previous procedures. Initial results have been far more than I ever, as NW6, could have wished to achieve. Therefore as I still had healthy donor left, I decided to go ahead and increase density.

Dr Lorenzo implanted 2501 further grafts this time. Surgery was completed in one day, with 1500 implanted in the frontal areas and 1000 in the back. Lorenzo is still as meticulous and driven as ever. So passionate about his work and I enjoyed a great chat with him afterwards about his techniques, and how collaboration with other elite surgeons within HT continues to benefit all involved.

I have to also thank the girls working in the clinic who share his driven approach and enthusiasm. Grace, from England was fantastic as usual and a comfort therefore I was always informed what was happening every step of the way. A credit to the clinic. The other assistants and technicians were brilliant also and tried as best as they could to communicate in English.

Extractions were completed by a technician who was highly skilled. Was able to sleep for majority of the extractions. Went back following morning for gentle wash and after care etc.

Now to wait impatiently for the results!! :roll

for those who followed my progress in this thread. Excited to be having a third procedure with Dr Lorenzo next week. Will keep you posted with updates as I did previously ??

January 2017 update.

Everyday still thrilled with the outcome.

Brief Updates on phone sorry not great quality!

Does shock loss apply to transplanted hair if you have future grafts in the same area to increase density? And can it be permanent? I've had really successful FUE work by Dr Lorenzo, and I am now thinking about increasing the density as I still have plenty of donor but I don't want to risk what I have gained. I will speak to the doc about it obviously, but just wondering if anybody else had come across this?

Thanks for the clarification. Pardon me if you have mentioned this in your other posts, but do you know what the hair caliber was in microns? In addition, do you know the average No. of hairs/graft? Lorenzo usually notes those in his videos so he may have relayed this info to you.

Hi mate, yes he has. All my stats are back in this forum somewhere!

What would you say you were on the Norwood scale before the work?

6 I think

I vote A.

 

About meds, did you start them at the same time as surgery? Someone suggested that meds played a big role in the crown...but given that HT2 was aimed at the crown....I am skeptical that meds were the reason.

Hi KO, I was on propecia for just over 2 years before I had procedure. So almost 3 years now. My hair had stabilised but no regrowth. I initially consulted with bisanga but he explained that I would not be a good candidate for HT at the time. He advised me to start on finasteride and see where I am up to in 2 years time. So I went away started on my 2 year meds but kept researching all the fue docs in the meantime. By the time my 2 years were up my decision had swung towards lorenzo out of them all.

Long winded but my short answer is no. You can see my 'before' pics and the finasteride, whilst it stabilised things, the results are all lorenzo!

Fair play to you. What have friends and family said have people noticed and asked questions what have you said? I think messy by the way!

It's been very difficult trying to say 'oh i decided to grow it long, rather than shaving it.' I have been open and honest with those closest to me, so they know. But i have had to delete tonnes of Facebook photos as there is no hiding place on there if people get a bit suspicious they can refer back to older pics!

Thanks guys for your positive comments, I'm thrilled with the results so far & I can't believe it hasn't even been a year since my first HT. Honestly for those considering, although costly, it does change your life and frames your face too. Ive never been happier. My dilemma now is now what style too have! What do you think?

A - normal short back and side

B - messy look

C - comb over

Haha?

The back drenched after 5 months

Do you have two-tone hair by any chance? Some hair look brown, other blonde...perfect candidate though.

Could make a case for 3 tone in all honesty, bit of ginger in some lights unfortunately!

Niceeeeeeee! Are you still on propecia?

Changed to proscar mate

New 'comb over' style on a night out!

Creative!

Hair beginning to come where there was none!

Side and top coming in slowly
