Great documentation and a fantastic outcome for this patient

Looks great, hope he can maintain his native hair in the years ahead and get the long-term benefit of this transformation. Well done Dr Wesley.

Very refined work for an excellent outcome, patient must be very happy indeed.

Hard to believe it's the same fella - a life-changing transformation. He must be thrilled. Well done to the team.

Superb result for this patient, he must be thrilled. Great coverage for the grafts used. Well done to all concerned

Hi gregor, congrats on your surgery. The work looks clean and you already had a lot of good-quality native hair so it should add up to a great result in 12 months time. Try spraying cold saline (store it in the fridge) on the recipient to deal with the itch. I had really bad itching too and this helped a lot of cool the scalp and prevent me from scratching. Good luck with the recovery

Looks great, you're in excellent hands with a real hairline master. Now you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. Happy growing to you

Looks wonderful Tj, you must be so happy. Enjoy every minute of it and thanks for the updates.

Hi Oliver, no need at all to apologise my friend - we're all in the same boat fighting this curse the best way we know how. I take your point that there's a certain moment in time where you have to pull the trigger and that you can't wait eternally to try to improve the situation. I'm simply saying wait a bit and continue with the meds. 22 is too young to pull that trigger. Keep a photo log for yourself with baseline pictures. If in a couple of years you see that things have not got worse and you still want to proceed I figure you'll be in a much better position. You'll have had more time to research, to step back and consider it from all angles, to find a surgeon who has consistently good results with diffused patients and you'll have the comfort of knowing that you didn't rush headlong into it. Moreover, if the meds work well, you may not even need surgery and save yourself a lot of $$ and donor hair in the process. And don't forget there are other exciting treatments coming down the pipeline so we may have other options in two to five years with CB, Replicel, Follica, JAK inhibitors, Histogen, Brotzu's lotion and, of course, the holy grail in Dr Tsuji's stem cell regeneration technique which may offer the closest thing we've seen to a full-blown "cure" for this generation of Norwoods.

Don't jump into surgery or you may regret it for the rest of your life. Stay on the meds, take your time, research, develop other aspects of your life and revisit the question in a few years. It's probably not what you want to hear but 22 is far too young for a transplant

Superb - looks very natural. Patient must be thrilled at 8 months with more to come

Very nice compilation, but it's also nice to be able to browse individual cases in detail, especially ones that correspond more closely to one's own hairloss situation

Looks wonderful, great work - the patient's wavy hair obviously helped the final outcome

Very best of luck with your procedure. You seem to have a pretty good head of hair still so hopefully the procedure will set you up for a good few years
