Hairsearch21

Im really sorry guys.. that i havent finished my thread. But hey.. Im really busy since i have my hair back Its crazy to see tje difference THAT clearly after more than 14 months . The result... well.. One word? AMAZING. Im so happy with it. Its dense. No matter how harsh the light is. You cant see the skin where they transplanted hair. Maybe the Finasteride boooooosted the result but to be honest.. i think the Doc did a miracle on me.. OF COURSE it could be denser here and there... but in 90% off all situations my hair looks full for everyone including me an that is what matters the most because noone looks that exact like me . You wanna have pics and you will get them soon i think in the next days . And than i will end this thread. The crown where no work was done stayed the same and im fine with that because you cant see it the way i wear my hair. And sometimes i put a little bit toppik in it just to make sure everything is perfect. So.. The 10% restsituations... You can see the scalp when the hair is very wet.So when i go for a nice day on the sea and start swimming it looks thin. Not that bad but not full. And you cant expect that guys. You will never reach the density of your full hair days. At least not yet. Maybe if the cure is comming someday. As a resume: It was the hardest but also the best decision in my life.. I really enjoy it. And im not joking to you guys. And for all those people in the ugly duckling right now.. I know it sucks SO MUCH. But you will come out of this time. And it will be worth it. Again english is not my mother language . Sorry^^ Cheers guys! Ps: As you can see im not longer in this forum or in any other forum.. Because i dont care about my hair anymore. Not in the way i did before. And this will happen to everyone with a successful ht my friend. I promise!

Hey guys! Its just crazy how fast you leave this kind of forums.. 2-3 month ago i was online everyday and now... Im just here to give you back what this community gave me month ago ! Help I think month 6-now was amazing. Big difference. I still can see new growth and some hair defenitely need to catch up with the others BUT if today is my 12 month update, i would be 100% happy . And that is what life is all about. To be happy and to live your life .. Its amazing. And hey, the dating game is booming in the last weeks Im not sure if it is the hair or that im just a happy man again but surely the hair makes me happy and in a way thats it. My hair is now long enough to slick back and cover the crown perfectly without concealers . I think i will go back to Dr. Koray 2018 for the crown because i can trust him now that i see the results . Pics will come soon But im happy - and remember where i came from. A bald Nw5A and my hair is especially in the frontal third FULL. No matter how strong the lightening is you cant see my scalp there. Hairline is nearly perfect for me and it will get better the next 5-7 month i guess .. So im a happy man now . Thanks for your help guys!

Pic4 Thats the crown. Not that bad, but i will work on it.

Hey guys! Nearly 7 month now. Sorry, im a bit inactive... But life is better now and i really want to enjoy it now. It was a hard time and now better days are here. I have one pic from my crown which i cover with some toppik but really i dont care that much about it. I will have work on the crown in the future for sure. Maybe again with Dr. koray as his work on me is really good or with Dr. Hasson. But we will see . Im happy for 7month and still 5 more month. I can see a lot of baby hairs still. If this is the endresult im 95% happy .

One hairline.

Thanks guys! Life is really better now ! As promised some pics. Sorry im really busy this days.. More detailed pics on the 7 month mark! I think its nice density for 6 month! If this is the 12 month mark id be happy. And in 6 more month i will be over the moon with it for sure because i think the result will double for me. So many stubbles still but the get longer and longer! All the best guys!

Hey guys! Im at 6 month now . And guys... Im happy the first time since years with myself . Really... What happened the last weeks is amazing. And i still have a LONG way to go. The growth is really kicking in and it is at the stage where i can say im happy. Not 100%, but 85-90% and 6 more month! Can see lots of stubbles even now haha I was a full blown NW5A and now i have a nice Nw2 hairline. Still a small bald spot in the crown but this is something i really can life with. I will see what medication can do to it (it has improved a lot) and then i will go for a last transplant to maybe add some density in the front (i will see in 6 more month) and to cover the crown. I dont need a dense crown. Just hair you know . A thinning crown look is absolutely okay for me. But to be honest, im not ready for the next round now. It was such a rollercoaster.. Dont wanna do that in the next 1-1 1/2 years. I wanna say thank you to all of you who helped me threw this journey, were there for me when im 'crying' and helped me out with your posts here! Pics tomorrow! All the best guys

Thanks guys! Hopefully it will look better at the 7 month mark.. We will see.. I have to wait.. And i cant do anything about that haha.. Its just a really tough journey for me and for sure for everyone else to..

Thanks man for your words.. The possibility that i am a slow grower is there.. Because i still have many new sprouts. I even think more than i have long hairs on my head but i cant count it to much area and some are to small i can only feel them.. I will wait with a final "resultcheck" until the 12 month mark. Then there are to possibilities. 1. im happy 2. im not happy Hopefully number 1.. And ill try to not look at other results, but thats hard haha. I always check some threads and think hmm his hair is so good at only 6 month how the hell is this possible. Maybe the answer to that is that the stubbles i have right now are just chilling and laugh about this silly man looking in the mirror every 10 minutes. But they will grow and hopefully add the density to have atleast a nice hairline. And with lenght ilusion density will double and tripple easily i read (i hope€

Hm maybe its because i expected something like an endresult at the 6 month mark from the beginning. I thaugt after six month youre very happy man. But now, at a bit more then 5,5month post op im not that happy. Its hard to stay patient at that point. It seems like everyone is so happy at six month and im really happy for them but what i can see in the mirror right now is not what i expected. If i am at 50% of my endresult, then i think i will be happy after 12 month. If im already at 80-90% as you can read on some sides in the web then this want be enougj for me.

Man, i can easily put pics on and everyone would think i have a full head of hair right now with a home run result. But thats not what we should do. All in all i have 6000 grafts on an 120cm2 area. Thats a very good density and i cant see this density right now. Sure, i can see stubbles but when you look at the hairline you can tell something was done. And thats the main problem.

Hey guys! Just wanna show you 2 hairline pics.. Not very satisfied with them to be honest. I know its harsh light. But thats no excuse for the little pluggy look. Still more then 6 month to go to the final result, but most guys with very good results have them already around 6 month. So yeah, i think i should research for a touch op with Hasson&Wong or a doc in that category. I already have a strip scar and a very good laxity so they should take all i have left and maybe i can get even a better scar.. If this is my 12 month result, id say for the amount of grafts it was was under my ecpactations. All the best

Great result my friend! Is it possible for you to make a top view pic with very harsh light? That would be very interesting. Do you see any new growth? I think youre lucky and thats your "endresult" in terms of growth. Of course it will mature and it will get a bit better in some much! But hey, do the crown and youre done bro! Its crazy how different every person grows. I think most of my growth is just happening. I feel them and can see them... So i have to be fair with my result and have to wait for those little bastards until they catch a bit up Because they do "nothing" for my hairstyle right now. They are way to short to benefit from them. I can feel stubbles since month 3 post op and i really hoped i will be done at six month and will already know the endresult. Hopefully you will catch an eye on my thread . 2 weeks from now i will post my 6 month post op pictures. The small hairs will not be long enough to make a significant difference in this two weeks. But hey... They HAVE to grow because they already do. Its just so slowly that i cant see it happening^^. All the best to you and your brilliant result my friend! Im more then happy for you!

Yeah, i read about that. That could be a factor to. Im very excited for the next few month.. Hopefully everything turn out great at the end of the journey. All the best and thanks guys

Thanks guys! Thats what i needed .. And it is already a big improvement to be honest.. I was nearly bald before on top.. Wow spex, thats an amazing thread! Thanks so much! Everyone should read this one!

Ive posted a link at the top of my first post in this thread to my thread. There you can find pics from pre op to 5 month. Thanks

Hey guys! Welcome on board! Im one month in front of you so im 5,5 months post op right now. I have loads of stubbles everywhere in the recipient. But i also have a fair amount of "long" hairs already. And it looks a little bit weird right now. But uf i buzz it down i have to wait even longer.. Its annoying. I hope i will gain density in the next coming 2-3 months. Im really pissed about the waiting haha.

Hey guys! Im 5,5 months post op my hairtransplant with Dr. Koray. Thread: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/181245-4500-grafts-asmed.html As everyone who did such a surgery i wanna see early results haha . The "problem" for me is: I read and see most of the time guys that have a "full head of hair" after 6 months post OP. And as i am at that point in around 2 weeks i think im not there. My goals are realistic and my maingoal was density for the frontal third to midscalp and leaving the crown untouched (for now). With 4500 grafts, some native hair and 1300 grafts from a previous procedure with another doc (the grafts from this procedure grow nearly 100% but it was way to less coverage) i think i can "expect" some nice density. So here is my question. I had very early growth after the procedure. Maybe 2 month after some hair just growed back. But remember, most of them is hair from my first procedure for sure. Right now, the result is not what i expected to be honest. But i can see and feel many stubbles. Its hard to count them because they are so short and some just sprouted that this is not possible. Is that "normal".. Im 5,5 month post op and most hair should grow betweem month 3-4. But i defenitely have the most growth right now. I cant picture those hairs you will not see them on pics. But they are straight, already my brown hair color and very short. Does that mean i have to wait even longer then 12 months before i say it was a succees or a fail? From my first procedure i remember that all the hair were there after 6 month and nothing changed maybe matureing a bit but nothing dramatic. Would be great to hear some experiences.. Its really drivinge me mad^^. All the best

Beautiful result ! Try to cover the crown with concealers. Will help. All the best to you

Hey guys! I just wanna let you know that i have a challenge against myself. The challenge is: NOT look and check my hair for the next 14(!) days. Im actually at day 3 now and im fine. But i think it will be tricky to do it. I can wear a hat in the work so im fine with that and can go out of the house with a hat everytime. So... Why? Why shouls someone do something like that. Its easy. I will put my hat away after this 2 weeks and go out for the first time in years.. And that will be a great moment for me. I will put some concealers on the crown and if i need some to the transplant area but i WILL go out WITHOUT a hat! And from this moment on, i will take control back about my life.. Everyone who had surgery will know how hard it is to not checking your for atleast 2 weeks (!). And i think if i can do it i will feel much more confortable about myself and everything. Im in that time were the result will slowly but surely come in. And 2 weeks is at this position a lot of time especially when youre not looking in the mirror for this time period. I will focus on my boxing and my other hobbies. Will try to set my mind away from this. If you look at your hair EVERYday for atleast 10-20 minutes, checking every new hair, youre not able to see real improvements over time. And hopefully i will see a improvement over this 2 weeks. I will update you at this with my 5,5 pics update. @Vpac: i will post some before pics when im at month 7 and hopefully completely satisfied with the transformation.. All the best to you guys. Stay strong and remember, life is just too short to always worrying about hair..

You had very fast growth and your hair seems to grow very fast per month. Do you think its the Minoxidil? Is it recommended by Dr K after the transplant?
