I didn't have any growth to talk about at two months. The only thing on my mind then was recovery. And you seemed to have recovered very well. Now the fun starts.

Have to add I am intrigued by the grey patch. I have one in my neck since well before my surgery, but it's about a fourth the size of yours. I would love to hear some other doctors on here weigh in on that subject. 

Looking good! Temple point greed starting to grow for me when I see this.

Looks on par with my journey with the same doctor. At 6 months I looked very good. At 9-10 months I was basically done and looked crazy good.

Looks amazing !! Congrats ! 
 

I’m thinking about surgery with Dr. Freitas as well …….  is there anything you are not satisfied with or anything that didn’t meet your expectations ?

Did you consult Dr Rafeal that you will stop Finasteride? And if so, what did he tell you about that?.. as a lot of people here saying that if you stopped Finasteride, you will be in trouble. 

No. But at surgery he was very emphatic that I needed to stay on it because I am thinning in the back part of my top too. Which is only visible when cut short. No problem when I keep it at this length though. Of course it will change over the years but I prefer more transplant procedures.

How long did you wait?

Consultation March 2019, procedure September 2020.

literally a killer result man. you look like you grew in your new hair super fast TBH. I am almost 6 months on mine and it doesnt quite look like yours at 6 months. Mine is still kinky and wispy as well. if you remember, at what point did your hair lose its kinkiness and wispiness and turn into normal texture like the surrounding hair? Big big congrats though man i hope i turn out like this. 

Thank you so much. Well, to be honest I think I looked great at 9 months in terms of that. Don't use it as a benchmark though, as the normal time is at least the full year and most of the time even longer.

I was literally going to ask you to come to the forum and post your review on Reddit. I'm so happy you are sharing your review. You join the few, but the mighty @Adam87 and of course the man, the myth, the legend @BjornBorg I can see this becoming another epic homerun. Happy growing 🙌 

Welcome to the gang, @GHTJourneya. 

Looking forward to following this case closely.

Let's goooo. Following hard. Everything looks great man!

Looks great man. May I ask, what did you pay?

It's in the thread on the second or third page I think. To be honest at this point I forgot. All I know is it's a steal compared to the price of other clinics that produce the same level of results consistently.

This is one of the best results I’ve ever seen all over the internet( if not the best).

A question please: Do you think Finasteride played a role in your final result? Let’s assume you didn’t take Finasteride, would you achieve the same result?

I read a comment that you stopped taking the drug, will you resume in the future?

Thank you man!  

The answer to question 1 is no, but you should try it and see if it's for you. As for your second question, I'll never say never but probably not.

My god, the density looks unreal 🤯

Thanks man. Waiting eagerly for your thread btw.  

Good thread, following. Looking good so far.

It would help us if you could provide some more angles. It doesn't look good from there I'll agree but it would be useful to see some shots from the side and not from the top.

Simply amazing. Now I just can not wait to have mine.

@BjornBorgvery happy for you ! It looks amazing.

Can’t wait to schedule mine with dr De Freitas too, I wish they had reply to me already 😅

UNREAL RESULT! 10/10

Thank you all for your compliments. Happy new year to you! And to those of you considering a hair transplant but not yet having pulled the trigger - just do it. You'll never regret it if you go to a top tier clinic.

Your donor hair is outstanding. 3300 is not a lot of grafts for an area like that but I think it will be enough for full coverage with caliber and waviness like yours.

I stopped taking photos at each month. Here are some random ones from 12-15 months + some from today. Different lengths, styles and lighting conditions.

What a comeback. And goes to show you should not give up if the first one is not perfect.

De Freitas is worth the waiting. Its not like waiting for Couto 😂 (forever)

Indeed it is worth the wait. And also, you can get a short notice date in case of a cancellation. I did get that opportunity in June 2019 (consultation and booking was in March 2019) but I turned it down because I had my grand master plan to save up vacation hours for a year more.

One of the best results in recent years, congratulations dude.

Any plans to go back on Fin? What were the mild sides if you don’t mind me asking . . And do you take Minox or anything else ? 

Thanks! No, not right now. Sexual.

You're a hair God now in your latest pics. How long was your waitlist for Freitas? A year?

It was one year or so but I pushed it an extra six months so I could have 6 weeks off from work after surgery.

Pjanic did his in late May. He is about three months in. Will probably come good.

As for Conte, he would be dwelling in Serie B if it wasn't for his HT.

Flipping hell this result is stunning. Congratulations the density looks unreal too. Nice to put a photo to your profile as I remember you commenting on my journey 😊 

Thanks GOAT!

Absolutely amazing result. Easily one of the best I have seen 😯 your donor area looks pretty stunning also 🤩 thanks for the pics 🙏

Thank you, John.  I appreciate your presence on these boards.

Bjorn Borg himself would be insanely jealous! Fantastic result and your natural temple points only add to magic! Thanks for sharing!

Haha ye!  Thanks mate. Followed your journey too, an inspiration for sure.

Man, amazing result. Good for you!

 

I’m curious as to how long you were on fin before your procedure, whether you’re still on it and if you’ve had to deal with any side effects. 
 

thx!

8 months before procedure. Quit July 2021 due to new gf and maybe trying to start a family. Milder sides on and off.

Wowwww!!! Look at YOU! What an marvellous result!!! Freitas is a genius 🤩

How you feel about your new hair? Did you expect such and amazing result? What do your friends say about it? Have they noticed?

Congratulations BjornBorg!!!

Thanks man! To be honest I expected a great result. Dangerous, I know, but I can't lie.  

I have told my five best friends, noone else knows or have said anything. I was a true master at the combover before procedure.

I will tell you the main difference though; the amount of ladies that give me a second look now is up massively. Not bragging, it's just the reality of having hair.

Donor 3mm.

Donor 2mm.

11 months~

10 months~

@Adam87 @Melvin- Moderator Hello gents, of course I'll provide an update. Adam, long time no see my man. Thank you for your support in pm and and your thread, that was very important to me.

My one year since op will be in about two weeks. I feel that any change is only minor since about the 10 months date.
