Looks good. How did you reach Dr Pekiner? I cant seem to find his website or contact him anywhere?

Woow that's dense! Doesn't even look like a transplant. You must be thrilled!

Hmm, I cant open the picture file you linked..

This is the best result I have seen! This isn't even an "illusion of density" How does it look in harsh lightning? I mean, can u make it look bad or is it just that dense?

Any update :)?

I don't understand when people say hair transplants are illusions. Looking at your hairline in the last pic, it looks non-transplanted, full and dense? What's your approach to hairloss medications atm? I read somewhere you stopped with fin due to side effects. Are you considering jumping back on it it the future or is that not necessary due to almost all of your frontal and crown hair is transplanted with still plenty of donor left( judging by the pictures)? Thanks for updating us. Much appreciated!

Hey! Any updates on your hair situation in general :)?

Insane result! Do you use any hairloss medication?

It's not the fear of side effects that keep me from taking finasteride (besides from gyno returning). It's the fact that I have to take a pill almost every day for the rest of my life. Also, no one from my parent's side goes above norwood 3. I'm still norwood 2 since puberty and I'm turning 25 later this year. So I'm hoping 1-2 hair transplants will fix the issue when I reach norwood 3

Well, that's a shame.. I think I would rather take a pill each day rather than putting minoxidil twice a day and make my hair all greasy The side effects of fin are really low, so that's a chance I'm willing to take.

Thanks! That made me more calm!

Thank you for your reply!

Yeah, I'm gonna ask them that when the doctors allow me to book an appointment

Ohh awesome! Did you have gyno before you started finasterid or did u develop it as a side effect due to finasteride if I may ask :)?

Hello guys! I'm 24 years and suffer from mild gyno(puffy nipples since puperty) and im NOT on finersteride YET. I plan on getting my gyno surgery later this year, then maybe start on finersteride. The obvious answer is go and see my doctor, but the only accept persons with more serious issues.. Noone in my family goes beyond norwood 3, that's why I'm debating if its even worth to start finersteride or just go for the hair transplant if needed. My question is: Is the chance bigger for me to develop gyno again even after the surgery due to finersteride? Have any of you guys had the same problem? Looking forward for your replies..

Great! That was the answer i was hoping for. Thanks!

Hello guys, I was wondering if people would posts some pictures of their hair transplant without styling product in their hair. The reason why is because i will be getting a hair transplant in maybe 5-10 years and I usually dont style my hair with products because it looks fine after a shower with shampoo and i would like to keep it that way. But is that even be possible after a hair transplant or am i required to use some kind of products to make it look good? Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that Couto posts pictures of people who already have great, thick and dense donor hair. It also appears that he uses different lightning for before and after pictures, which can affect the post op quite a abit. But beside that, it looks great. How is your nose btw?

Can u post a picture?

Price per graft?

I guess a perfect hair transplant is subjective for each individual. But you make it sound that every male-individual goes bald at some point in their life and that is of course not true. You see plenty of people in their 40-60 with great amount of hair that even teenagers wish they had. Some people reach norwood 2-4 and then they stop receding for decades. Even if their hair diffuses you cant tell without a microscope. Here is an example: A boy of 25 age is a norwood 2 and his entire family for many generations don't go bellow norwood 3 due to genetics. Wouldn't that boy be a good candidate to get his hairline done? Because I'm sure there are many people in that kind of situation. I understand what your are saying if you go beyond a norwood 3 or 4 and up there. But i just can't see why it's not possible to achieve great HT with dense results in that case.

Well I'm 23 now with norwood 2 with no major thinning, only slightly in the temples. But i had that since i can remember. I just wanna take the route where I'm gonna be a norwood 1 or 2 with a normal or dense hairline where i don't have to worry about my hair looks very thin in certain positions/activities for a long period of time.

So in a perfect scenario where i don't get diffuse thinning(or so little that's it not even noticeable) its actually possible to restore from norwood 3 to 1 with " illusion of density" with around 60 fu per cm2, so i don't have to worry about the styling, lightning etc... so it looks kinda full in any of those scenarios. Because that's what i would call a perfect transplant and therefor would consider it. I would also only go for FUT because i heard and read that it can yield more and i don't mind the scares, i actually think they look dope to be honest. But in a realistic scenario it will diffuse maybe allot maybe less, depending on the genetics. And that is why i cant pack everything to the hairline area because the rest would eventually need to get filled as well as you are suggesting. Am i understanding this right? Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the answers! That was exactly what i was hoping and looking for. Because i might do a HT when I'm around 25-30 ish(Due to genetics, because only my father reached to norwood 3 in my family with normal density). I was just wondering why i should get a HT, if have to style my hair in a special and avoid certain light or swimming activities to avoid obvious lack of density or bald spots because its just not possible to achieve. I saw a post that @Melvin-Moderator about density and was therefor worried. Because he (you Melvin if u are reading this ) claimed that a HT is only an illusion and you have to style and watch out for certain lightning to see obvious lack of density. Maybe i misunderstood what Melvin said and he can correct me if I'm wrong? And I'm not talking about 80 FUs/cm^2 but rather maybe 50-60ish FUs/cm^2. Because i have seen some results who claimed they packed this, but the results weren't that satiating, and you could clearly see what was transplanted and what wasn't. But i also saw some who were just fine.

So i read that you CAN'T achieve full density after hair transplants. But let's assume following: Let's assume that i know for a fact I'm gonna be a Norwood 3 my entire life (after I'm 21 years old). I have average donor hair/hair thickness with NO diffuse thinning. Is it possible to restore it back to Norwood 1 or 2, so it looks full even after it's wet and with bad/good lightning so I don't have to "style it a certain way so its appears full"? I understand the logic that u cant do that with a high Norwood scale. But with a lower scale around 3? I Can't see why THAT is not possible? I hope your guys understand what I'm asking. Let's get a debate going. Cheers!
