Looks fantastic Marco and I think it suits you having your hair a bit longer..

Just curious how does the hairline look under very harsh light ie the kind in some changing rooms? Can you see through the hairline?

Yeah you can sometimes tell, but I dont think anyone else notices tbh

Theres a coffee shop i go to regularly and when i use the small toilet i always see it in the mirror. Very harsh lighting

I shower in the gym every morning with no problems, although its quiet anyway. There's one other guy in the gym who has had a HT. How do i know? I know what to look for lol

But i reckon 99% of the time, you would never know

My dad does't even know Ive had one haha

Hello everyone,

Thought I would post another update, as I am now approximately 13 months since procedure.

My hair was pretty short over the summer and only starting to grow it out now.

I'm just back from the gym, and put some matt clay in my hair after a shower.

Also Im still on fin (3 x per week) and oral minox (everyday).

In summary I'm really happy with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Bisanga and the team.

Of course always happy to answer any questions.

Amazing! Thank you for the update and I must say it was worth the wait.

It doesn't get much more honest than these photos. Short and wet.
As has been alluded to, it doesn't get more natural than this.

Whilst we are all concentrating on the recipient, look at that donor. Untouched!

Im thrilled for you and I look forward to the dry photos and will be great to see further updates in the future with some length also if you may grow your hair. You now have a full range of styles and lengths to enjoy.

Thanks Ian.

I actually really like it short but will probably add a bit more length once the weather cools down

These pics are as harsh as it gets. Wet hair, good camera and right beside a window on a sunny day

Ive quickly taken some pics with dry hair before I head off for a weekend in Paris!!

Also, meant to say I was not long out of the shower for the latest pics

I'll post more with dry hair when I get the chance

Hi how long after your consultation were you able to get a surgery date ?

I booked in May 2021 and went to Belgium in October 2021

This definitely looks natural I would say this is a really good result I would have never thought you had anything done. Do you have any future plans to do any further work?

Don't think I need any at the moment to be honest

Im taking fin and minox, so hopefully wont need anything for a while yet

Beautiful and natural work by Dr. Bisanga.   

It's as if you never had a hair transplant. Im sure you're happy!

Very happy mate, thank you!

Hi everyone, sorry not posted in some time.

Anyway I am now almost at 9 months post op and thought I would post an update.

It was pretty long and I went for a haircut on Tuesday but didn't like it so used clippers on it myself.

A number 4 on top and the barber had done a number 1 on the back sides.

Overall really happy with it so no complaints at all.

Any questions or thoughts, let me know!

Great result mate

Looking great man

For those who asked, here's a couple of pics with drier hair!

You can see it's a little bit thinner and also lighter in colour, although was in some sunshine with it today

Looks great mate. It was all worth it. 
 

Are you still taking oral min and if so, when do you plan to stop taking it?

I am yes. 

Only half a tablet per day though and not sure how long for yet

Your temples have pretty much been completely filled in, and you’re only at 5 Months. 
 

I expect you to experience further maturation over the next 3 months, and I would say by month 8-9 you’ll have pretty much the full result. 

Thanks for the feedback mate, appreciate it

Definitely progressing, have you got any of it dry/without product? 

I took these after the barbers today and Id had a shower

Will try get some dry hair pics in the next few days

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is well?!

So i am just a approx 5 months since my procedure and finally got my 1st proper haircut today. (Previously just cut back sides/) so it's looking a bit better but still needs a bit of work regarding style!

I got a small amount taken off the top and a grade 1 back / sides.

Pretty please with the progress thus far. Still a little bit thin but that's to be expected.

How do you guys think it looks?

Should I expect anymore growth at all?

Thanks!

Nice one mate!!!

Good luck on your journey mate

I am nearly 5 months in!

Four months is fine.

Great, thanks mate

Hi guys, 

Hope you are all well?!

When would it be OK to start using product on your hair following a HT.

I am just over 4 months in, and was wondering if a water based pomade or similar would be OK to use yet? It's starting to get a bit messy :)

Also, any recommendations for someone in the UK?

Thanks,

@Marco Van Basten

Thank you for the update. You are looking great at 4 months and right on track for an exciting journey over the next several months. At 4 months things are beginning to take shape and you will see new growth, increased density and maturation over the next several months.

To thank you for a very nice photo quality also. Very consistent and honest and transparent which is always much appreciated from the community.

Im very much looking forward to the next months for you and please do continue to keep us updated.

Thanks Ian

Coming along nicely mate!

Hey guys,

So time for some more photographs as I am just shy of my 4 month update.

In real need of a haircut at the moment and there's no product in my hair when my g/f took the photographs. (In fact still not used any.....yet)

Also, I don't usually style my hair like this, but I had used the shower at the gym this morning and it had dried by the time I got home.

Still a bit thin in places but happy with the progress so far. Also, I don't think you would really notice I had a HT now unless you looked closely. (My dad doesn't even know nor did he notice last week lol)

What do you guys think?

Thanks mate! Currently not using any product, as I also haven't pre HT. How my hair was in the BHR pre-op pictures is product free and how I would wear it, however with a comb to one side for obvious reasons.

Think it is best to not put anything in it except from shampoo every 2 days, if you can get away with it.

Looking forward to see your progress!

 

Appreciate your response
