  1. Hi everyone. First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of updates. Life is has been hectic and my hair not as much as an issue in my life as it used to be. I am now 16 months after my procedure. I can't really see any difference from month 8. Generally I am happy with the result though. As a whole I am happy I went through with the procedure. I am more confident going out with out a hat. Nobody has noticed that I have had a hair transplant and when I look back at old photos before the procedure there is definitely a huge difference. In certain lights I feel its still looks thin and in other lighting looks great. I wish it was more dense but maybe my expectations were too high. I can't expect my hair to be as dense as when I was 18 years old. Last 2 pictures with fringe down are from a recent hair cut and looks better density wise but the lighting is also favourable. With hair brushed up it can look thin especially out side. What do you guys think? Take care
  2. Hi Guys. Update coming in the next couple of weeks. Need to get a hair cut and some decent photos and put them together to post.
  3. Thanks for your feedback Guys, Fingers crossed for the next few months.
  4. 8 MONTHS 3 week UPDATE Guys apologies for the delay. Life has been crazy especially with what's going on in the world. So here we are 8 months and 3 weeks in. Its been a roller coaster. Sometimes Im happy with the progress then sometimes not. In some lights it looks great and in some lighting it looks terrible. If this was the final result I would have to say I would be slightly disappointed when compared to the results from other cheaper clinics, that being said they can also produce some inconsistent and bad results too. Maybe my expectations are too high but when you see some great density and results from other clinics including Dr Demirsoys that's what you expect. It is obviously better than where I started and I am more confident now. I hardly where a cap. I wish it was more dense though. I still have a few more months to go but honestly don't see how things can improve. Lets keep fingers crossed it does get better. Let me know what you guys think. The first 4 photos are with out any gel. the rest are with gel and how I style it for nice occasions. Any questions let me know. apologies once again for the slow update. Takecare
  5. Hey Apologies for not getting back to you. I have now noticed that some dormant hairs have now grown after 6 or 7 months which is good news. Some I can't see as they are within the hairline now and covered up but Im hoping they've grown.
  6. Hey guys Apologies. Update coming soon. Life is very busy for me at the moment but I will update as soon as possible
  7. Hey guys apologies. Life is very busy for me. Update coming soon.
  8. Thanks for your reply that's great to hear. Especially the dormant hairs as there is quite a lot of them.
  9. 3.5 MONTH (14 week) UPDATE Hi everyone, So here is my 3.5 month update. I have been feeling a bit down coming up to the 3 month mark as I don't seem to have had much growth. I know its still early but I keep seeing other peoples 3 month updates and there seems to be loads of noticeable growth. I reached out to Mussafer Dr Demirsoys assistant and he reassured me things are on track. I think I was worried as I could see lots of thin whispy hairs and thought that they were just my old miniaturised hairs growing as a result of me taking Finasteride. I thought the new hairs would come through thicker like stubble. I also have not had any pimples or spots and no itching which is a sign of growth. I had a few spots in the donor area for some reason at around 8 weeks but they have seemed to have gone. There are quite a few small stubble hairs that didn't shed from surgery. They also haven't grown either. Are these considered dead or could they still grow? Once again from what I've seen most non shedded hair continues to grow. The hairline looks just as it did pre surgery now so lets hope there is more growth moving forward. I'm still taking Finasteride and Minoxidil, Biotin and vitamins. Running and resistance training 6 days a week. I think I must be a slow grower. Excuse the bad Haircut. I have been shaving the donor area my self as we are in lockdown. Let me know what you think. All the best.
  10. Nice. Im a few weeks ahead of you with Dr Demirsoy. All the best with your new Journey. Work looks great so far.
  11. Great progress. you must be happy. Crown usually takes a lot longer to come in. There is great improvement there already. Overall you've still got lots of time left for your full results. Its gonna turn out great.
  12. WEEK 8 (2 MONTH) UPDATE Hi everyone. Just updating my progress. Everything has been smooth sailing so far. No issues to report. Donor area feels fine to touch. Perhaps a little shock loss as looks a bit patchy still but could also be an uneven hair cut. I trimmed the back and sides grade 1 a few weeks ago. Mussafer Dr Demirsoys assistant said to try monoxide on the donor area. He also seemed to suggest I may have had patchiness before my transplant. This was based on a pre surgery photo I sent before. Only time will tell. Recipient area has shed a lot and I think there may have been some shock loss to some of the native hairs as well. All to be expected I guess. Numbness in the recipient area is getting better by the week. There seems to be a lot of fine hairs starting to appear in the temples but not sure if they are native or not. I am now on Finasteride 1mg 3 times a week and Monoxidil 5% twice a day. No sides so far. Multivitamins, Biotin, MSM, Cod liver oil, VitaminC taken daily. Running 3 times a week 7 to 10 miles and weights resistance training 3 times a week. Hoping the exercise promotes blood to the recipient area. Cant wait for the day when the transplanted hair starts to grow. Hopefully the start of month 3 FINGERS CROSSED lol Thanks and all the best.
  13. 1 MONTH Update 2 days ago was the 1 month mark. I thought I might be one of the lucky ones, unfortunately at 3 weeks I began to shed which I know is normal. Im losing about 100 hairs a day. Recipient area is still a bit numb in places but is getting better by the day. Donor area still itches very slightly from time to time but barely noticeable. Not sure whether I have shock loss in the donor area. Looks a little patchy but could also be uneven hair growth from when shaved at the clinic before surgery. I may trim the donor to a grade 1 to tidy it up. Started Minoxidil again after 3 weeks with no issues and still on 0.5mg finasteride 3 times a week. Will be increasing to 1mg in a couple of weeks once Im happy I'm not getting any sides. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
