Definitely a poor outcome, simply telling him to grow his hair longer is not a solution as there will be visible gaps behind the hairline. Some photos look much better than others though.

I guess all you can do now is wait and then either try to get Dr Mwamba to touch it up (should be for no cost in my opinion) or go elsewhere.

Completely agree. Some photos look much better than others. However, I believe you @Dhcyoo you will need a touch-up. You have great donor and you will end up having a nice result.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

SEVEN MONTH UPDATE

Today is actually month seven on my hair restoration journey. Photos taken in outdoor lighting (indoors this looks a whole lot fuller). 🤩 I have to say that I am very happy with the results on my Norwood 7 noggin so far, along with the depleted/scarred donor that I had. Hair is coming in through the crown and with fibres I can now pull off a full head of hair look. At month 12 I will wait to assess everything but I am looking at having a second session some time in the future to address the crown and any weak areas.

What a change! And you still have another 5 months for final assessment. This is really happening!
Also, that donor looks outstanding 🤗

Thanks for sharing your experience @Gatsby !!! Keep those updates coming please!

Been traveling the last 2 months between work and family, hence the delayed post.

It's been 8.5 months, so here is the progress on my HT. The growth has been really good and the density has improved drastically in the last 2 months.

I suppose this is at about 70-80% mark. What do you think?

 

 

That is looking great mate! 

Keep those update coming. Thanks for sharing!

I still can not believe Conte´s is a real Hair Transplant, could it be a superb wig? 

This is absolutely AMAZING! Couto always manages to design the most NATURAL hairlines 🎖, just beautiful! Love it!

Thanks for sharing your experience @Ramsey. Showing your face really helps us to see and understand how getting our hair back completely changes the LOOK in someone´s face. 

Time to enjoy it! 😉

Wow!!! What a result! That density is just insane! 

How much did you pay per graft?

Thanks a lot for sharing your amazing experience!

10 month update 

Hi folks 

Hope everyone is well ..

with this update I just wanted to highlight the benefit of fibres for help in supplementing the visual effects of a HT .I’ve been experiencing some hair shed in my traditional Weak area ..rear side part upper crown ..I’m planning on having one last procedure in October to finally remove this little “‘pebble in my shoe”….I’ve up to 1000 scalp grafts and 3000 beard grafts to play with….probably aim for around 2000 grafts in total split 50/50

first few pics attached are random outside and inside with the weak area visible ..and last few are with fibres which is how you’ll find me looking out and about 99% of the time.

Wishing everyone  well 

Karl

Wow!!! What a transformation 🎖 🙌🏻
For sure hair is something that brings happiness and I can see that in your face 😀
Many thanks for sharing!!!

Hi all @ HRN

It's been over a week now since returning from my procedure at Eugenix in Delhi, and having fully recovered from a period of many near sleepless nights, it's now time to stop procrastinating and get on with the business of posting a thread of my experience.

Before I start, I've got to say thanks to all those people who made this experience so much easier than it could have been, including, everyone at Eugenix, (many of whose names I didn't get, so I won't name names in case I leave anyone out) as well as all of you good people at HRN who have posted your own threads from which I have gleaned such valuable information.  I thank you all.

First, some background.                      I've been aware of my hair loss since I was 17, and judging from the variable rate of progression over the years, it seems reasonable to assume that I actually may have started losing it at least a couple of years prior.  I'm now 56, so that's upwards of 40 years of hair loss in all.  Way back then, the options available were extremely limited and information even more so.  The little I knew of hair transplants sounded gruesome and so I settled for a few years of watching my precious hairs slip down the plughole while I moved my remaining hair around on top of my head to avoid the detection of others of my predicament.                  Approximately eight years later I became aware of minoxidil for the first time, tried it, didn't like it - it made my (by now) Norwood 2-3 hair feel greasy and generally icky.    A few years later I heard of finasteride for the first time, but the potential side effects were less than appealing and there still wasn't much information, so I just accepted my fate. By now I was about 45 and grateful to only be a Norwood 3-4 as my dad and younger brother had all but lost all their hair by 21.

Anyway, about 18 months ago my hair loss progression picked up speed again, and, armed with new information courtesy of Google and YouTube etc, I decided to investigate all possibilities and research began in earnest.  By January of last year I had started finasteride (generic),also, dutasteride (again, generic) by late March, as well as ketoconazole and microneedling.  By June, I had switched to Propecia when I found that my hair loss was still ongoing.  After 14 months of using fin, I have yet to see any real benefit.  Most people seem to see results, if any, within the first year, but some 'experts' suggest it may take up to 2 years for full results, so here's hoping.

Took some pics (in April/May) and emailed them for assessment to, initially, Dr Bruno Ferreira.  Never did get a response, other than that he was v busy.  Tried others, with varying responses and no progress until a short time later I became aware of Eugenix and their apparent success with higher Norwoods and 'difficult' cases, which I considered myself to be, as I was aware that I had retrograde alopecia and donor that I thought to be mediocre.  Again, I sent some photos for evaluation and Eugenix promptly quoted me a figure of 4700 grafts and informed me that I was a Norwood 4. I did suggest that I thought my graft requirements might be greater, (up to 6000) as I considered myself to be a Norwood 5 by now, but was told that the doctors felt that the number of grafts quoted was sufficient.              Due to the ongoing issues with international travel (and particularly regarding India), as well as waiting on Eugenix's London consultations (that didn't happen in the end) I didn't get to book my procedure until early January, with dates set for March 1st and 2nd.

Thanks to the feedback of Berba11 and others my dealings with the Indian Visa and Consular Application Centre could have been much worse. Only a two hour wait in the centre itself, several unanswered emails after they requested extra information a few days later, another trip back to the centre with aforementioned paperwork, and the very next day, a belated response to my emails, and my passport returned two days later.  A mere sixteen days in all, but at least I had known what to expect.

Finally, two weeks later I was in Delhi, staying at the Hilton, a fifteen minute walk from the Eugenix clinic.  Had my blood tests done after breakfast on my first day after having slept for just a couple of hours that morning. This inability to sleep became a pattern for the week.  Fortunately, adrenaline got me through this period, and I seem to have done nothing but sleep since my return home.                         Next day I reported for duty at 11am.  Had all the expected things done, pre-op photos taken, blood taken for PRP etc, and met Dr Arika for the first time when she came in to do the hairline design.  This last part was brief, as expected, when she basically drew two semi circular lines across my forehead, letting me choose which one I was happier with and said it was 7cm from glabella to hairline.  I've since measured it myself and found it to be closer to 8cm, but, as someone who hasn't had a proper hairline in almost 20 years I was just glad to potentially have anything approaching 'normal'.  She also asked me what my overall density aspirations were, to which I responded "good density at the front" and that I was less concerned with the crown.  She agreed and suggested that I could be confident that I would obtain this from the procedure.  And with that she was gone, returning again a little later to do the hairline slits.  If memory serves, Eugenix could have had up to 3 other guys having their procedures done that morning, so I'm sure she was incredibly busy.       At some point, (I forget exactly when) I realised that my temple points hadn't been included in the pre-op designs or been worked on at any time. I was told that this was because they considered that I still had reasonable temple points/peaks and they didn't plan on working on them. I disagreed as I could only see about 12 hairs on my right temple and fewer still on my left.  Eventually, it was decided that I could have some grafts added to my TPs - over 200 to each one in the end.  The bulk of the remaining slits were done by another doctor who introduced herself as Dr P (sorry, I didn't catch the name) and, if memory serves, everything was complete by about 6pm.  Initially it was meant to be a two day procedure but it was suggested that doing everything over 3 days would make it a less strenuous experience. At first I had reservations, (losing a day's recovery at the hotel etc) but it turned out to be the right move as the next two days turned out to be eight and nine hours long respectively and obviously would have been longer still had the slits and the pre-ops not been done the previous day.

Day two was all about extractions and implantations and was a much more painful affair.  This I found surprising as so many people had said they had slept through parts of the procedure. It was only when I returned home that I was reminded of my skin's sensitivity to hot water when showering, razor burn when I shave, etc.  The price of having pasty white skin I suppose.                 At the end of the day the front part of my head had been done and I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel to sleep.  Again, that didn't really happen.  I think I got about 3 and a half hours that night.                            When I got back to the hotel, one of the first things I did was to check everything looked alright in the mirror.  For the most part it was, except for two pea sized spots in my hairline that looked like they had been missed.  I was also aware that a strip of hair running from side to side in my midscalp had not been shaved down as much as most of the rest of my hair.

Day three - again all extractions and implantations, but this time on the crown, behind the under shaven bit.  I made a point of enquiring about these two worrisome elements of my previous day's procedure, to be told that the two spots left devoid of grafts were due to me having a mole in each spot and that the strip hadn't been shaved down because it was thought that there was enough hair remaining there, and that to implant nearby might cause shock loss.  Fair enough, regarding the moles (I hadn't even noticed, despite having little to no hair there for so long), though I was disappointed regarding the strip as I didn't think that there was a lot of hair in that area to begin with and if the finasteride doesn't kick in asap there may soon be next to none there.   Ok, I guess, though I wish someone had said something about these issues before I left the clinic, instead of me only finding out the next day.

Back in the OR, things were somewhat more painful than I would have liked, with anaesthesia being reapplied several times.  At least the beard extractions weren't so bad, probably because there were only 500 in all.                                               Finally, by 6pm (9am start) it was over and I could return to the hotel and relax for a couple of days before returning home.

I did of course go back to the clinic on those days for a headwash and to ask some questions, such as whether they really thought that I had enough grafts implanted in the front half of my head (2,415 including temples, 1,973 excluding) and was told that they thought I had.  Not quite so confident myself as I've since seen other Eugenix patients have upwards of 2500 excluding temples and over smaller areas.  Obviously everyone's different - different head sizes etc, so I guess I'll just have to wait it out.

Anyway, that's it.  Apologies for rambling on, especially as it was only meant to be a summary - and I didn't even mention meeting Dr Pradeep!  Suffice to say, he's everything everyone says he is - his enthusiasm is quite infectious.  All in all, they are a great team at Eugenix and I wouldn't discourage anyone from going there.

Feel free to ask questions - I'm sure I've left something out, I frequently do.

Pics are: 2 X pre procedure.                                2 X day 1                                              1 X day 7                                              1x day 12   

               

Thanks for sharing with so many details. 
You will look like ANOTHER person this coming Xmas 🙇🏻‍♂️ 😊

Month 2 Update 

Right in the middle of the ugly duckling phase, therefore not a huge amount to update on. Redness is still there, hopefully it starts to fade within the next month. The wild hairs are starting to make an appearance!

This looks like a case to follow till the end! Such a complicated alopecia. And all looks so clean. Loved that you went for the temples, which will make a huge difference on your final result 🤗

Thanks a lot for sharing with us 😉

Wow!!! Such an interesting interview!

"the new motorized punches almost replicates what was possible with a manual punch!"

Thanks for this amazing video content ✊🏻. 🎖

By 2022, I lost all my hairs again .. And the bald issue spread till Crown...

 

 

ohhhh so in 5 years you lost almost all implanted grafts from 2013! 😳. How many did you get on your first op?

Are you gonna go for Meds after this 2nd op? 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

14th Day: Donor Area and Hairline

I’m very happy with how it all looks.  If you zoom in, you can see a lot of the mini scabbing. The redness has diminished so much, I had to go back to Day 1 pics to remember what area was covered. It’s also very easy to forget what your native hair pre-surgery looked like. I had that much hair? 🤣

I like wearing short hair (not typically this short), so this gets me excited for things to come.  The lighting is a down spot. I’m expecting the mass shed soon.  

 

Everything looks great for 2 weeks!

Keep the updates coming 😉

Hello Antonio,

You do not mention any meds prior to HT... Have you been on Minox and Finas before the hair transplant? For how long? What results did you see? 

Other thing, you mention "a session with maximum use without limiting the number of follicles.." what that this mean? They put all the grafts till they decide that´s what you need? You do not know the number before hand? And how much is this? They charge by "day of surgery" or "number of grafts? I´m really curious!

All looks amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing amigo 😉
