Fantastic write-up 👏

@Boomerang Welcome to the forum. I can definitely empathize with your concern. I was struggling with the same issue after my second hair transplant, which to date, was my best procedure. See below Now, having said that, I want you to know that two months is still very early. It's common for you to be experiencing shock loss in the donor and possibly the recipient site. This time period is called the 'ugly duckling' phase. When I look at these pictures, I'm fairly certain that it is indeed shock loss by the circular nature. Over harvesting generally has smaller patches. Shock loss has larger, circular patches. I would start taking oral minoxidil to recover, or applying topical minoxidil to the affected area. Shock loss is essentially telogen effluvium- this occurs because the trauma from the surgery caused the hair follicles to enter the dormant phase. It takes a few months for the follicles to return to the growing (anagen phase). Give it a few more months.

Bumping for relevance today. My donor after an additional 2K extractions

Welcome to the forum. Pay no attention to drama. I wish you the best and thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Wow impressive 👏🏼

Completely normal at 7 weeks.

The previous video was incomplete. Special thank you and shout out to @HairNTear for allowing me to show case his incredible journey. Special thank you to the community for being so great and referring him to Dr. Cooley

I think Ings has the classic “no micro-irregularity” look. Looks off.

Yup Adrian is an aussie, you’d be surprised about a quarter of all members are from the UK or Australia.

Alright damn you’ve never officially become Kun Aguero 🙌🏼

Wow looking excellent for 3 months this is gonna be a good one!

The forum is very fair and balanced on finasteride. To date, it’s the most effective drug, of course, better when combined with minoxidil. Of course side effects happen. I have stated on multiple occasions that I got sides and discontinued use. But what makes no sense is someone not even trying it. If you try it and get sides, fair enough, stop using it. The majority don’t get sides. Though, the numbers are massively underreported. I would estimate about a quarter of men experience side effects. Still, 75% save their hair. Definitely worth trying in my opinion. Now, I’m not gonna say finasteride is a MUST, but if you’re not willing to be on fin, you better have the cash to invest in multiple procedures. If you’re not willing to do either, then surgery isn’t the best option.

Wow that’s quite the transformation in just 4 months 👏🏼

Pretty big difference to me

DO NOT STOP! Trust me it’s working, of course it wont regrow all of your hair. But definitely it’s improved the overall density, very clearly.

Man, I would recommend trying to shave your head first. Honestly, I see a lot of red flags with you as a patient. 1. Aggressive balding 2. Low budget (especially with needing a lot of grafts) 3. Low adherence to medication I don’t see you being satisfied for a long period of time. If you can’t adhere to meds, you have to be willing to get multiple procedures as your hair starts to thin. But with your budget, seems highly unlikely. My suggestion, try to shave your head and see how it looks. That might be your best option.

Harry, long time no talk, how’s your hair looking? I would definitely opt for xyons topical formula

Yes, how’s it looking now?

Wow excellent density and coverage!

The majority of results from hair mills aren’t good, but there’s no doubt some technicians are good, as evidenced here. The problem is there’s no way you know when you’re in the chair. Big gamble.

Looks fantastic for 4 months!

I agree with everything @Ryan Daniel said.

You’re a fast grower congratulations 👏🏼

That’s a very good price. In my opinion, it’s a steal.

Thanks for updating us, do you known what caused the folliculitis.
