  1. I'm not sure to be honest. At the time I think FUT was 100% the best option for me to get the coverage I needed. That was in 2014 though and FUE has come on leaps and bounds since. If I was in the same position in 2023 I'd probably go the FUE route with a top surgeon to avoid the strip scar as you say. I'd like to try get some hairs implanted into that scar now so assessing my options for a 3rd surgery, also assessing my bank balance 😅
  2. Your Donor area looks fantastic, I've a feeling this will be a great result 🙌
  3. Apologies for the lack of update, I've been enjoying the summer and not thinking about my hair, which is a good sign I guess 😀 Final update, 14 months on. All pictures taken in natural light with no fibres in (just a bit of suncream!). Thrilled with the outcome, Dr. Pinto is a master of his craft. I may go for a final pass in future, not 100% sure yet but it's not a top priority for me in any case.
  4. Amazing result!! Congrats @Harry Boschenjoy your hair 😀
  5. Yeah the crown is a lot slower to grow than the rest! At least I can use fibres on it now, which wasn't really possible before as the hair was getting too sparse! Hoping it will continue to fill in a bit more in the coming months.. but won't rule out another touch up either 😂
  6. Apologies for the delayed update, very busy with Christmas, life, etc. 😂 I actually took these on the 4th December, so just over 6 months growth update. Included a few pictures taken under strong unfavourable bathroom lighting!
  7. Thank you! Yeah another trip to the barbers is definitely required this week!
  8. Apologies for delay, super busy with work lately, and just glad really in the last month to be out of the ugly duckling phase 😂 Agreed Pinto is top class, I think I'm seeng some growth now as well. These were taken just after the 3 month mark, I think the 4 month update will show some more filling in.. fingers crossed!
  9. I was not aware, thanks! Updated now, link should be working again
  10. 5mg for the last 3 months post surgery (Just reading all the replies here this dosage seems high, should i reduce it to 2.5mg I wonder?). Only sides I've noticed are hairier hands/fingers! Results wise I think I've just started to notice some early growth lately, could be related or not to the oral minox. it's hard to know. I'll post picture updates on my thread once I get a trim this weekend 😀
  11. Looking at the transfer deadline day news madness and I see some pictures of Pierre Aubameyang with his hairline looking strange.. what's happening here then, some concealer to cover up a transplant during the off season maybe? 🤔
  12. 5mg daily for 3 months. only sides I've noticed are some thicker body hairs, particularly on fingers, hands
  13. Hey, looks great for the ugly duckling stage to be honest, not too bad at all! Also does it look like the roots of that patch of white hairs are actually growing back with with some colour?
  14. May I ask what clobetazol and ketoconazol shampoo's are? Are these medicated, or what is the product name for each?
  15. Sweet!, Congrats Nice time of year to get it done! I went to Union Quay medical centre in Cork for them. Very reasonable alright!
  16. Not UK but in Ireland so it might be a similar process. I went to a medical centre with a GP to get them done. I emailed them beforehand to make sure they covered all the blood tests required and then it was a 5 minute consult with the GP there on the day followed by a nurse taking the bloods. The total cost was 75 euro
  17. I have heard this before as well that transplanted follicles can lose colour from the surgery. Is this permanent do you know or can they regain colour as they grow out?
  18. Could not have a single complaint about Dr. Koniors work or the fut scar alright. It's as thin as it can get, and my own childhood scars are worse 😂 I'm still really tempted to get some grafts into the scar in future, but that's just the hair greed talking!
  19. Thank you! fortunate and grateful to this forum for researching them in both cases
