Hi gents,

I am 10 months post op now and so far a happy camper. My question is what do you more experienced ht chaps swear by in regards to shampoos/conditioners etc mainly for hair care and adding volume.  Also any vitamins which incorporate all the right vitamins in one pill rather than taking loads?

I am currently just using head and shoulders and taking local drug store hair vitamins but wondering if there is anything better I could be doing. Thanks in advance.

Hi Melvin, I will definitely get this done if it can help with anyone journeys then no probs. 

Hey pal am from Manchester so know about uk prices being daft. I went Belgium not much difference just better doctors imo. If you're not happy look seriously at Turkey such as edorgen, kesser, demisroy etc who are alot cheaper.  Two of my friends have used smile clinic and have had good results for £1600 but I would probably go with a more established clinic for a top up.

Hi tekken,

I haven't had a ht in Turkey but have been many times from the uk on holiday and have never had any issues it's as safe as anywhere in this current climate. I am currently looking at my next holiday in Turkey without any hesitation whatsoever also a lot less guns than the US haha. Enjoy 

Most clinics dont do symmetric hairlines as apparently they look unnatural and once grew in you wouldn't be able to notice anyway 

I can remember actually thinking I would need a 2nd ht asap which really frustrated me but a few months later its back to normal and looks fine. I might get it a 2nd one on the crown in the future if it gets worse but that was always the plan enjoy the process because once the ugly duckling phase is gone it's a good ride.

My crown went worse post ht like yours which worried me but went back to normal after a few months  I would try not to worry and play the long game you have choose a good doctor so sure your results will be good 

In my opinion I think the results look well! Everyone wants thick density but it is not going to happen. I would hope you wouldn't need to use toppik anymore but that may come over the next few months, if I was you I would be happy with possibly looking for a 2nd OP to add more density if you feel you need it in the future. 

Same as above demisroy is doing great results in a cheaper price range

Going back to work tomorrow and the redness is still there.  Left the top long, so I can do some weird comb forward thing to cover it up, however I think I am going to have to just be open about it.

😂😂 cracked me up that comment.  I had the same problem and unfortunately my head was red for 2/3 months, I was lucky I could wear a hat due to outside work to cover the redness but in meetings I had to tell people so in the end I just told everyone. Just get it out the way and after 1 week no one will be bothered, happy growing. 

Thanks chaps for your comments, it is actually better trying out different looks on holiday as no body knows you or how you normally look so you can try out comb overs or swept back look etc and see what you think on a evening out for a meal or drinks etc.

Also a little before and after from the clinic when I sent my pics over.

Gents at 8 months from my holiday so trying different styles etc. All as before looking good density coming slowly but coming, also pic in red shirt from today as I post this, comments or questions welcome. Regards 

Agree with the comments above, 2500 grafts was never going to be a dense result. I personally would have expected the doctor to possibly refuse or at least limit your expectations if you're donor was limited. I think you needed 3500+ to get decent coverage, ashmed would of probably suited someone with your loss.

Hi Danny,

I personally dont think 1200 grafts will touch the sides if you want a full hairline. I went with dr b from his recent results and was a bit taken back by the 3000+ he quoted me but so glad I listened as I think I would be quite sparse otherwise.  I have also seen good results from dr ball so both good choices. I would agree with the chaps above 3-3500 if the front to mid to reinforce the front and then possibly a 2nd OP for the crown in the future. 

Regards 

Looks well! From where you started excellent improvements 

I decided on bisanga in the end but dr demisroy was a close 2nd as I haven't seen any bad work from him, he seems very competent and if I was ever going Turkey I would definitely be looking in his direction. 

Hi biceps,

I was also rejected by Asmeds for my donor but have seen a lot of results from them using people with donors alot worse than mine so can only put in down to me not being on finestride at the time. However I consulted 3 doctors in person who had no issues with my donor so definitely do a face to face consultation. 

Very good results

Hi MarshallUK,

Thanks for responding, may i ask how was your healing process after the surgery? And also was you advised to stop taking your medication for diabetes before the surgery?

Thanks.

Healed perfectly no problems what so ever and kept on my meds as usual.  The only thing the doctor wanted to see was my last hba1c test results  but I dont think I would of been rejected just monitored more often, All went fine.

Hi 555future,

I had fue last year as a type 2 diabetic and had no issues during or after, no blood pressure problems though hope this helps. 

Thanks for the kind words happy so far so hopefully more to come.

Ashishmetha I am in both been on minox for probably about a year and fin for 4 months now, unsure on there effectiveness yet but sticking with them 

7 months now still on track, really happy so far but still would like more density in parts and one side is a little bit stubborn to comb but heard this happens until the hair properly matures, otherwise getting compliments on my hair and trying different styles which is great. Any questions just ask 

Great result
