Yea I'm 34 also and have been trying to hold off as long as possible.When I went for consult my donor density was a little on the low side 65/65/70 I think but had good groupings but Dr Bisanga seemed to think I was a good candidate.Was you donor density high?

That's a big improvement .The old picture looks like your receding but the recent looks like you've a full head of hair.I think Dr Bisanga is still the one I want due to his involvement in the procedure .Im getting married in 2017 so I will have to aim for next July to be on the safe side regarding growth.The shaved head and redness is still a big factor for me.I wish I could just get over it.Have you any regrets so far.?

Looks excellent and is really taking shape .Im impressed how the hairline seems too have settled in.Looks like Dr Bisanga was correct with conservative approach as it looks very natural.

looking at the comparison between pics there definitely is a big improvement and as you say at 4.5 months you really are only at the begining of growth.Sometimes it's good to remind ourselves were we started from.

I got the impression from the consult that he wouldn't of went more aggressive in fact my hairline is near identical to yours and I also never had a straight hairline.The hairline he drew was very underwhelming basically just reinforcing what I have.Im sure he's seen it all before and if hair looks good in a coupe of years you could go lower.I haven't decided who yet .It was between Dr bisanga and Dr Feriduni.Cant get a consult with Dr Feriduni do would have too just book in for procedure.I do know he would go more aggressive with hairline tho.You should check out swayzedo Blog he was similar too yours unsure about hairline at start but in the end he was very happy.

Thanks for the update Tman.looks to be coming in nicely for 4.5 months .I can understand your thinking about the hairline but there's lots more time for it too take shape.When I went for my consult with Dr Bisanga I found him to be very conservative with my hairline and I came away a little disheartened.But I know his only thinking of the patients future loss.I just feel if I'm going to part with 10 grand I would like to see a significant difference .Maybe if I pushed him more he might.Your hair definitely looks better from were you started and at only 4.5 months that's a good sign.

Hi Tman.Any updates

Looks like your definitely over the worse should be exciting few months ahead.

Ye I think I will just buzz before the procedure to get people use to the idea.Its really strange the thought of shaving my head makes you feel embarrassed but It will be worse if I keep receding and have no option but to shave.Really getting sick of not been able too style it have had the same hair cut for 10 years haha.If people question your hair growing back fuller just tell them you had a tyroid problem which thinned it out or that your taking saw palmetto which has thickened it up.But like you said nobody will even notice.

Thanks Tman.I have a consult with BHR coming up so I'm interested in your case as I have very similar loss and require similar amount of grafts.Doubt and paranoia seems to be the norm around this time so wouldn't worry too much as everyone goes through it.Your early pictures with a shaved head look very good but this obviously worsens over the weeks ahead.My main concern is trying to hide it from work colleagues and friends especially the redness.4 weeks is the most I could take off work so il have to think of something to tell people.

Hi Tman.Any updates?
