  1. Thanks Certainly. Here are pictures of my hair wet and dry, I tried to comb it in the worst possible way for my crown. Taken in harsh bathroom lighting and outside in the sun. Considering where I was in the beginning I think I can be happy with the current results. If I go ahead and get another operation I shouldn't be afraid to expect a full head of hair. But as I said in a earlier post, the crown area is never exposed on a day to day basis and even when I go swimming it's barely noticeable.
  2. 12.5 Months So it's been a while since I updated, been kinda busy and continued delaying updating. Anyway, here are the 12.5 month pictures, taken straight after a haircut today. I'm very extremely happy with the result even though my hair is not perfect. The hairline density isn't 100%, especially in very bright lighting and on camera. The crown is also not completely filled in, but the way I wear my hair completely covers that so no one sees anything. But make no mistake, I'm over the moon with the result and the decision to go ahead with the HT at ASMED. That being said I am considering another procedure with ASMED to crank to up the density but probably won't decide on it until after the full 18 months. I uploaded two sets of photos, both with my hair dry and then blow dried and styled the way I wear it every day. My hair looks terrible with nothing in it as I have very curly and wiry hair. I almost never leave the house with some sort of a product in it. The pictures are taken in very bright lighting and my camera seems to always increase the reflection on my scalp haha. But the photos should give you guys a decent idea on how it looks every day. Finally I want to thank the community here for helping me reaching my decision and I hope my updates help someone. Until next time
  3. Thank you, Maybe further down the line I'll add grafts to the front, but not until the full 18 months have passed at least.
  4. Should be noted that I have fair skin and it has always been very sensitive to trauma. But hopefully it will fade soon.
  5. Haha no worries, wouldn't have posted the picture if I was afraid of that Of course it can always be better, but there is room for improvement in my case. 10 months in and the hairs will become more natural in time.
  6. High Res If you look very closely you can see maybe 2-3 double hair grafts, not more. Still a slight lingering redness on the scalp and the density is not at 100% But still very happy
  7. Sorry to hear that you're not happy with his work. Hopefully you can get the result you are happy with a touch up to the hairline. Either with ASMED or somewhere else. Personally, I'm very happy. The picture I uploaded is taken up close and in studio lighting. Don't know how I can show the hairline better TBH. Maybe I can take another high res image and host it somewhere so the resolution shows the hairline better.
  8. Thank you very much! I have also been following your progress, you have insane growth at 4 and 5 months. Way better than I had at the same stage of the process. You can eelax, you have already won the lottery. Now you just have to wait a little for the full ticket to be cashed in All the best!
  9. I am an Erdogan patient and I was pretty happy with my hairline until I read this thread All jokes aside, these pictures are taken today, 10 months after my transplant. I am happy with the hairline, but would you guys categorize it as a standard unartistic hairline? What about singles in the hairline, does it look pluggy? Should I be unhappy with it? I've only gotten positive feedback from everyone around me. Give me your honest feedback
  10. Thanks! I've been seeing more improvement in density the last weeks, so I am very optimistic
  11. Thank you! I don't think I had any damaged follicles fortunately, it just continued to grow. My scalp was very bad from pimples in the start but they are completely gone now. I am only using a shampoo called N2 and sometimes a Coal Tar shampoo. Maybe that helped.
  12. 9.5 Months Sorry that I haven't updated as regularly as before. I guess that once the hair begins taking shape you just start living your life without thinking about it every day. Exactly the peace of mind a successful HT should give you IMO. Anyway. Here are some quick photos taken in very very harsh bathroom lighting. I am wearing my hair slicked back with a little product in it. Just as I wear it every day, fresh from the barber. There is some density lacking in the hairline on the left side, but nothing that bothers me. The crown is almost completely filled in and thinning is only noticeable in very harsh light. ASMED tells me there is more to come density wise so I should be good. It also always seems that the white reflection on the scalp seems more on photos than in real life. So my hair looks much better in real life than in photos. It is safe to say that I'm completely over the moon with the result and happy with my decision. People around me say that I look a good 10 years younger now. I will probably do a final update at 12 months.
  13. 7 Months The journey continues with solid improvements since last month. The trouble area in my right temple is slowly catching up and overall hairline density is improving. The crown also keeps improving and I'm not using fibres anymore unless I'm going out. As usual I added a couple of photos, hair is dry and combed back. I will add some more photos in the coming days, wet look and fully styled. Happy new hair year!
