So I finally hit the 6 month mark today and am pretty stoked about my hair. If it's natural, dry and curly it's very difficult to see my scalp at all. The attached photos however are with emu oil, which I sleep with in my hair nearly every night. You can also see the difference where my hair is brushed back versus curly. I think that I will return to Dra Reyes this summer to lower my hairline a tad more before being done. It's amazing how easy it is to adjust to a new hairline and want more! Overall I have 0 regrets except that I wish I'd gone sooner.

I do not remember Rogaine beging recommended.

No idea why they were turned in the upload, they're definitely straight. Sorry about that.

What's up guys, here are a couple of 5 month photos

Welcome to the worst stage! You have great density and a lot to look forward to in the next few months, stay strong!

So today marks 4 calendar months exactly since my surgery. Things have definitely progressed nicely over the past couple of weeks, but I've still got a little ways to go. I am posting photos in all different lighting conditions for all interested.

As I remember a technician performed most of the procedure while the doctor hovered overseeing things. I actually asked the technician how long he'd been performing HT's and he answered 10-15 years (sorry that I don't remember exactly).

Just wanted update this early as my hair is looking better every day now that I have reached a week past the 3 month mark. Under normal lighting indoors I look like I have a full head of thinning hair - never thought I'd be excited to admit to that lol but things are coming together nicely. Will update with more photos in 20 days when I hit the 4 month mark, thanks all for comments!

Manual FUE

Awesome growth within your 3-6 month time-frame. You have killer hair for only 6 months, grats!

That's excellent. I actually received a price of $2 per graft which included hotel stay and transport to and from the clinic. I'm also surprised she isn't mentioned here more often but hope my review will encourage more people to visit the beautiful Dominican Republic to work with her and her talented staff. I have created a new thread in the appropriate forum here-> for those interested in my long-term results.

What's up guys, I am starting my thread here for all interested in the results of my procedure with Dr Alba Reyes in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. You can find the review of my experience with the excellent Dr Reyes and all of her wonderful staff in my other thread in the surgeon reviews forum here. This has so far been the slowest 3 months of my life, definitely feels more like 6 months to a year has passed since I left the DR to return to NY. I stopped obsessing over my hair or taking photos daily and accepted that I'll look like a newly balding dude for a while. I feel for everyone in the same position now and wish the best to everyone going through this phase! I am attaching photos from pre-op day of surgery, 1, 2 and 3 months post op. As I post this thread I am at exactly 3 calendar months post op. My current regimen: .25 Propecia Lots of freaking vitamins Lots of freaking water 3 Months seems to be a turning point for me as it is for most, so my fingers are crossed. I'll be posting my photos outside so you guys can get as much detail as possible. thanks to all for the great reviews and info on this site

1 month update attached. I am keeping my hair short in an attempt to hide the difference between the front and back of my head - it isn't working I am very happy with the way my hairline was designed. There are only subtle inequities in the hairline in contrast to some of the more erratic hairlines that were drawn on me locally in NY. I have lost 25-30% of the transplanted grafts so far although it's difficult to see in the attached picture. Will update this thread monthly for all interested in working with the wonderful Dr Alba Reyes.

I just feel bad for armpit hair-head. Doesn't there come a point of acceptance in hair loss before you transplant armpit hairs onto your head? There is still no scientific evidence of "DHT-resistant" hair follicles on our heads, until there is I've lost interest.

Indigenous tribes have been studied for decades for their excellent health and lack of disease. They are however the pharmaceutical company's worst nightmare, so you won't see the facts very mainstream. Our chemical-dense, nutrient-depraved foods alone can make your precious hairs fall out. I have seen this first hand with the indigenous tribes in Peru, the men all look very virile with full heads of hair due in my belief to adequate sunlight (vitamin D), all natural diets and lack of stress.
