Great progress!! Such a change from 5 months on up! I'll be hitting 4 months in 1 week. Thanks for the updates!

Brilliant you are entering the stage where it all starts to happen. For me it's been quite a slow process been times I have worried but i can still see small little stubbles emerging on my scalp at 6 months.  So if you turn out to be a slow grower dont worry good luck

Six month update- Can gradually notice it getting thicker each month. When the very harsh light hits it it's still quite thin looking. However it's fine in most lighting situations I'm happy so far.

Hey guys so heres how its looking at 22 weeks I'm very happy now. I'm now able to pull of the comb over  which gives the illusion of decent density in most lighting situations and photos. That's so worth it for me I feel like I've got my confidence back.

Looking really good! I can't wait until I'm at the 4 month mark. I'm about 2.5 months behind you. Did it seem to grow quicker from 3 to 4 months?

Hey man thanks. The stage you are at now is when I looked the worst in the entire process. Once I hit 3 months I noticed I was starting to look abit better my native hair shock loss started growing back and I noticed little red spots and hairs starting to form on the recipient area.  The change is very gradual so dont worry if it feels  like nothings happening. When you look back at your photos  from 3-4 you realise its  certainly kicking in.  My clinic told me after month 4 is when it really accelerates.

Hi guys so today is my 4 month mark of my fue op in Budapest. I'm fairly satisfied with the progress so far. It's funny the progression is so gradual you dont even notice it. I was actually feeling a little dis hearted a couple of days ago even though friends and family have been commenting on how its growing. I still didnt think it was progressing that much I then looked back  at my photos pre op and from the 3 month mark. At that moment I realised yes my situation certainly has changed for the better over the last 4 weeks. I have also noticed my mid scalp that was thinning and on it's way out has really thickened up in response to the finasteride and minoxidil treatment that I have been using daily. I attached comparison pre and post up photos taken from the same position and light just to highlight how effective it's been for me. I cant condone or advise anyone to use finasteride I'm not a medical professional. I'm just sharing my experience of the decision I made to take it and the effect its had on me. I haven't had any negative side effects that's not to say that's the case for everyone.  If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

When did you begin using Minoxidil after your HT? 

 

I started to use it on my native hair again after about 5 weeks. Then on the  transplanted area 8 weeks I just give it plenty of time to avoid irritating the area.

Everything looks right on track, I was at my absolute worst at around 2 months. Things started improving by the third month and by the 4th month I was definitely on my way.

Thanks for the support Melvin its appreciated. 

Now on the third month mark from last week i have started to see some hairs emerging. 

Hi guys just a 10 week update nothing really new other than the redness has died down and its shed a little more. The little hairs that have grown was my native hair before the transplant.  Still continuing with the finasteride and minoxidil. Looking forward to entering into the growing stage.

I’ve seen some good results posted here from hair palace. How many doctors do they have and how much do they charge?

As to how many doctors they have that I'm not sure I estimate around 6 I got to choose from. The price was £3000 for 6000 hairs and they give me slightly more than that free of charge which was really good of them this also includes accommodation transfers and lunch.  I couldn't speak anymore highly of their service. Before I travelled to Budapest I met one of their doctors for a consultation in the uk. They came across as very honest and professional and their reviews on trust pilot were very positive so I felt confident to put my faith in them.  Everything went smooth in Budapest and it felt like I was in really good hands the dr preformed the whole procedure over 2 days around 5 hours surgery each day. Now just preying my scalp responds 🙏

Thanks very much john that is a great transformation you look like a new man!!

I wouldn’t worry too much 2 months is deep into “nothing happening” territory. If those stubbles haven’t grown in the last 2 months, I’d recommend scrubbing them a bit harder in the shower to loosen them up as they’re likely just dormant.

Hey thanks for your comment my clinic emailed me back yesterday and said the same thing. 👍

2-months is still very early and it looks normal. As for the stubble that has not shed nor grown, from what I’ve read it’s nothing serious and the hairs are just dormant and when the new grafts start to grow new hairs they will push the stubble out, but have you contacted your Doctor and asked their opinion of the stubble?

Hey man thanks for your comment I emailed my clinic just waiting on them to get back to me. Yeah there doesn't seem to be any source of medical information I can find to suggest that its negative. Just that I came across a guy on YouTube who's failed completely and it didnt shed clean and looked stubly like mine at this stage. It would be pretty disappointing to not achieve a result that gives a decent illusion of a thick hair line in most situations. It's hard not to sweat it giving the cost and effort of the procedure.

Hi guys this is just slightly over the 2 month mark very happy with how my donor area is looking its healed very well. I am a little concerned about the recipient area. As you can see i still have alot of little stubble  hairs remaining after the shedding phase that haven't grown. I have noticed that alot of the guys that have went on to get good results have all had a good clean shed.  On the flip side those that haven't have kind of looked like mine at this stage. I'm probably just clutching at straws but I emailed my clinic today about my concerns.  Finasteride im still taking 1 mg a day this is around 9 weeks of talking the full dose 1mg dose.  Prior to taking the full dose I gradually increased  the dose to 1 mg a day  over the course of 4 weeks instructed to do so by a doctor and so far so good with the sides. Long may it continue it's a big part of the war.

Looks good after only 4 weeks.  Nice amount of hairs in those 2,700 grafts.  Keep us posted with your progress every couple of weeks.

Thanks john I will keep updating

Congratulations on your recent procedure.

Im looking forward to follow your progress.

Wishing you the best! Heal and grow well!

Thanks man appreciate that I will keep updating 

Hey man yes you are correct 6300 hairs not grafts. My surgeon said it was 2700 grafts I had implanted. I will need another 3000 hairs to finish the job my surgeon felt it was better not to harvest my donor area anymore than that in one session.  Then I hope I will be to continue propecia to kick further hair loss down the line abit. 

I had 6300 hair transplanted 4 weeks ago by dr katalin sereny at the hair palace in Budapest Hungary Europe. I am going to post an update on here every 4 weeks. I have also recently started taking propecia 5 weeks in and minoxidil.  The surgery wasnt enough to cover all my bald spot so another surgery next year is on the menu.  Here is some pre and post op photos
