7 months.

6 months.

5 months. Never using effects in the pics but some different lighting and hair styles.

4 months. Shockloss recovered. Hairline forming.

3 months - natural light, bad phone, no effects.

1 month - ugly duckling galore including shockloss. 

First pic 4 days after when visiting the clinic for a checkup. Second after removing scabs at a week or so. Last two from 13 days, just before shedding started. 

First pic at lunch break. Second at hotel the same night.

My own pictures from now on. Will be of varying quality unfortunately since they're all taken on a phone. Also some will be mirrored when I use the selfie camera.

Right after surgery.

Planning.

Before - clinic's pictures.

Greetings gents,

Haven’t had the time to post here for a while. But I feel I want to give back to the community. I would’ve never been able to make an informed decision if it wasn’t for this forum.

Info

Location: Clinica De Freitas - Valencia, Spain.

Date of surgery: September 10:th 2020

Grafts: 2486

Hair/graft: 2,21

Method: FUE with motorized punch 0,8mm and implanter pen

Doctor involvement: Implanting 100% doctor. Extraction is done completely by one head nurse.

About me

Age: 34 at day of surgery

Ethnicity: Swedish passport and parents but probably central or southern European ancestry somewhere back in time

Hairloss: Had an uneven and kinda high hairline since birth but good density everywhere until 27. Then density in frontal third and midscalp started to go slowly.

I will answer questions if you have any.

Remember, De Freitas does up to 4 surgeries per day and the people doing the extractions are the technicians, not him, so that may explain?

The Dr maps out the extraction zone with the same pen he designs the hairline. The tech doing the extraction doesn't just randomly go about the back of the head.

Interesting info. And what a natural result!

Nice write-up. Following. Interesting to see an increase in cases from this doctor.

People say in the hispanic forum, that if the doctor does not see the perfect result in the final review, even if the result is considered good for the patient and does not complain about anything, doctor takes him to the operating room again, even if it is just to implant 20 grafts and improve it, by its own perfectionist nature.

 

Kinda crazy if it's true.

Good luck with your journey and thank you for posting.

Good luck Sir. I will follow your journey.

Looking at your pics at 6 months and then reading you are kinda down makes me wonder. Can you show the situation in bad lighting conditions? Because in those pics it looks like a good final result and you are only at 6 months.

Good luck, following. Perfect planning of hairline.

Very good post @OliverAtom. We can't divide our research into clinic posted=bad and patient posted=good. It doesn't work like that. You need to use your eyes and be honest to yourself about what you're seeing.

If you're watching a clinic posted youtube vid where they are combing through the hair and doing so in natural or harsh lighting then what you see is the truth, although be it a top case that they want to show off. It's still a real result.

Likewise if you see a patient on here post a blurry pic in flattering light that makes a hairline look dense then what you see is probably a lie.

Looking good and you are only at 5 months!

😮😮

Good luck mate. Will follow.

Sweet! Looking forward to the update.
