    How are you liking your new hairline and new temple triangles now that things are filling in?

    Some days I’m pleased other days I’m worried really

     

    they look good in darkish lighting , once I’m under a light or in typical bathroom lighting or outside it looks thin, but I can still see quite a bit of hair sprouting and a lot of very thin hair when zoomed in which should thicken 

    the temple peaks never shed and have been here since the transplant took place , same for the frontal forelock

    Looks great. Can I ask how you are responding to the comments? Are you open with the transplant or do you just say you started using propecia or something similar?

    I'm wondering since I'm considering a transplant myself similar to yours and I suppose either one is just open with it, or one has to take a few weeks of work / working at home. If it sheds in the first weeks anyways and grows slowly from there it would look quite natural.

     

     

    Hello Kiko

     

    i work in construction for a large developer. I just told everyone I was going for a hair transplant and to be perfectly honest nobody really cared. A few people asked “why dont you just embrace it and shave your head” and I would respond by saying “I have tried it and I don’t like it , it suits some people but I didn’t want to have  my hair like that”

     

    nobody really cares. The most awkward part is when you’re talking to someone who is completely bald as I felt they would be self conscious about their head. 

     

    I am glad I was open about it. I can imagine that hiding it would cause awkwardness .

     

    inwas surprised about how many other men in my industry either knew someone who had done it or were considering doing it themselves.

    This is partly why I decided to post my bi-monthly progress photos on this site....so I can look back on my own progress all in one spot instead of digging through photos, much easier to see how much has changed for the better.

    Thanks mate

     

    i honestly feel it’s getting better everyday 

     

    I am receiving loads of comments

    This is it in normal room light ....

    Hi  - sorry for the lack of updates, I've been so busy and away from home.

    I am at 5 months now and I will slowly post all my photos.

    My ugly duckling period was BAD - there was a strip of redness at the top of forehead that stood out as there was very little hair there.

    At 10 weeks lots of popping came through.

    I worried *a lot* between weeks 10 and 16 because I could not detect any further popping of hairs, however around week 16, all the hair that had come through thickened considerably and this made a huge difference.

    I saw my sister at week 16, then did not see her again till week 18 but when I did her mouth dropped open and she could not stop staring at my hair.

     

    This was Snowdonia in Wales

    Thought so ! That’s where I am from

    Yes I completely agree with you. That's something he has taken his eye off in the past few years. Also realise that if you do need to go back it won't be as big a session as you had first time. Believe me I know exactly how you feel I'm a month behind you and I do get those negative thoughts in my head too but just remember if it looks this good bow and you're seeing daily improvements just imagine at 8 months !

    Haha it is funny how we all get moments and doubt , then one day we wake up , look in the mirror and say “OMG I’ve got decent looking hair !”

     Before and 4.5 months with flash below

    If you knew it deep down it shouldn't matter that they said you will need it or not. Im sure you would have still gone through with it either way.Even with me they didn't say I need one again but the dr said if you want the temples done you can do it next time and then we will finish of the top too.. step by step they told me. 

    You're only 4 and half months so right now don't worry about how it is now. Trust the process and wait.

     

    Well really it should matter Farsan. We’re going to a doctor , someone who went to medical university and competed a degree. Which probably covered ethics and all that. For all they knew , I was a muppet from wales who knew nothing. I raised my concerns and I was told not to worry . I wasn’t told “you will need another transplant to get the density due to your characteristics “ 

    Why can you ( a non-doctor and other patient ) give me this advice but not my carefully selected doctor ?

    Yes Farsan

     

    but I would have thought I’d have been told  by my doctor . I asked them for a high density hairline and I was told 50 grafts per cm2 was optimum . I have recently been told by a guy called Ardun (who took over when Esen left) that I had 48 grafts per cm2 so I should not be far off what Erdofan told me .

    regardless, I am already happy (ish) as I now have a hairline and a frame to my face . If I have to go again so be it . 

     

    Fact of the matter is ; all hair transplant clinics exist to make money. Asmed do produce brilliant results , but I do think they could work on their pre surgery consultation with Erdogan. He is a top notch doctor and should input a little bit more , not to the surgery as such , but to the experiences of his patience before and after it takes place. Even if all his results were 100% you would still have some people saying he should input a bit more . 

     

    At the moment, at 4.5 months I am happy , but hope to god I can look like I’ve got coverage over my scalp after 10 months

    i knew this on the back of my mind. But wasn’t warned of this by Asmed. My rep even told me I didn’t have high contrast (I did have second thoughts before surgery ) 

    i have spoken to Asmed after surgery raising my concerns about contrast and I have been told (via asmed on this forum) that hair to skin contrast isn’t the only factor in a successful hair transplant - which I agree with . 

     

    Youre the first person that has told me I would need a second hair transplant. I knew it deep down as I did a lot of research. I chose asmed as they are known for more grafts than other clinics , so naturally the density would be better . But nobody on the clinic told me about this .
