    Wow! Just 4200 grafts for 2/3 of the head... Incredible! Lucky patient with great characteristics of hair!

    Hi guys, I recently done a video for my personal impressions from first day at work after my FUE. It was such a "different" experience than I expected that I just can't not share it with you! I am also super curious how was your first day at work after HT? Did someone made some "salty" comments or did you managed to wear a hat?

    Nice one! Thank you for such detailed reply! Love it. That's a long time! Good it's disappearing. In the end of the day, it's been "botched" thousands of times in there! 😄 BTW Thank you! I will do my best to keep them growing! 🙂 Thanks for support on YouTube!

    I am in a somewhat similar situation. My father is NW17teen. I'm currently on NW5A only because I've been using Minoxidil+dermarolling, Finasteride and longer time ago I used to do some intense scalp massages. I was able to hold my progression and I had a Hair Transplant done in the end of January. If you are considering having a Hair Transplant, start off by growing your hair out for at least 1 month or better more, so you can actually tell whether or not you are an actual candidate. Like Raphael mentioned, if your donor will allow, you could get a great transformation. Visit a couple of Hair Restoration doctors to assess you (don't rely completely on online consultations!). Get on finasteride and see how well you can tolerate it. I myself just done frontal part of the scalp where I have maximum loss and left the rest to the medical therapy. Currently extremely happy with how it looks. If you interested you can look me up on my thread here or on my YouTube channel. Best of luck!

    Do you still have numbness after 3 months in recipient area?
  6. Rolandas
    Thanks! I appreciate that! I love editing and sharing, so It was a perfect timing with my HT! 😄

    I know Dr. Ferreira posted 1 result in here in the past. I think Portugal mentioned Dr. Ximena Villa posting on Spanish forums.

    You are right, looks natural! 👍

    Picture been taken yesterday and only today I had a massive shed (been going around the town with my hat and been taking it off quite few times. When I came home a noticed a lot of hairs missing! :D). Let's see on week 4 how I will look!

    Week 3 Post OP Shedding phase! Ouch! I was going around quite happy as the redness went away dramatically, so people (mainly shorter than me) wouldn't even understand that I had something done! It was so nice to have defined hairline (that might sound funny, but I don't remember how does it feel to have an actual hairline!), but now for couple of days already I enter a shedding phase! Whenever I brush my hand through my recipient area I can see 3-5 hairs on it. Whenever I wash my hair I can see 5632656735462734523786543teryfgdsh vmf hairs going down the drain. I am shedding hair at this very moment! Heartbreaking! Some people are even joking around "that's it man, you had your week of happiness" 😄 (that was my friend, we always making fun of each other, so I really don't care about such comments!). Anyways, I was well prepared for that, but i had this little tiny hope that I will be that "anomaly" who doesn't shed! Reality kicked in - I am not special! As I mentioned before redness is disappearing... As fast as I'm shedding (It's my new joke for today haha!). Mid-scalp & crown is filling up and at this point looks so much better. At this point I just want to buzz my hair on the sides and back and it will look good, but I will leave my donor for another few weeks before I will touch it with clippers. BTW donor is healing well (except very end of sides, you still can clearly see red dots in there..). Perhaps because density is not perfect in there? P.S. I had few scars on the back of my head since forever, so it's not related to surgery!

    Definitely not technique. I started shedding quite rapidly. One day full set of hair, next day -30% 😄
  12. Rolandas
    I'm actually on MSM and my hair is growing quite fast already. Thanks for your input!
  13. Rolandas
    Thanks Thomas! I'm extremely thrilled with how it looks so far... Shedding phase... Unfortunately yes! Today is 22 day post transplant and I started to shed 2-3 days ago. I will post an update soon with some pictures 🙂
  14. Rolandas
    That's why I'm concerned about dermmatch! But I think it would look much better with buzzed hair... Yep, email sent to Dr. Ferreira! Does it actually work with hair fibres to attach to short hair and be relatively invisible?
  15. Rolandas
    I still can't believe of your transformation just from meds...! Btw my left side of mid scalp/crown is weaker as well and looks similar to yours. When I was brushing my hair it was looking exactly the same you have on January picture. I was hoping like 3 months ago it will improve (been on fin for 6 months), but now it's difficult to say as I just had my HT, hence why hair was shaved! 😄 p.s. Still amazing coverage and thickness! Extremely jealous!

    How long did you use Minoxidil and how did it impact your hair loss after stopping it? I was on minoxidil for almost 12 months and just before my surgery stopped and don't feel like coming back to it.

    Hello guys, As some of you already saw my thread, I underwent a Hair Transplant in the end of January. At this moment I'm on exactly 21 days post op. I was wondering when one can start using concealers after HT? I've got a pack of Dermmatch in the bathroom and he is constantly looking at me! 😄
  18. Rolandas
    Hey man, I wish I could have your hair, so I wouldn't bother thinking about it! Hahaha 😄 But on another note, don't go for a surgery without meds! Stay at least 6 months to see how well you can tolerate it. If no sides and you see some regrowth then you will have better chances of good long-term result! I almost done this mistake and went for surgery before propecia, but luckily I changed my mind and stay over 6 months on Finasteride. Recovered A LOT of hairs on vertex, donor got stronger and prevented shock loss! Don't rush to get cut!

    Hey man, The work looks great! I've been considering Dr. Demirsoy as well. One of very few that do good work for very reasonable price... Wow, that's a huge difference in week 2 and 3! F*ck, I'm right now on week 3 and and I see shedding as well! Been enjoying my hair so far, but every time i brush with my hand through recipient area I see 3-4 hairs! It's truly heart braking! haha 😄 Good luck man!
  20. Rolandas
    Thanks man! Same to you!

    I traveled from London
  22. Rolandas
    I completely agree with you! It's just something that I decided for myself. Maybe I will change my mind soon! 😁

    The whole reason why i started dermarolling with minoxidil is because I refused to use Finasteride. I was doing microneedling + dermarolling for 7 months if I recall correctly until I finally decided to get on Finasteride. As far as I know Minoxidil's effectiveness will decrease after ~2 years of use and since I had to quit Minoxidil before my surgery anyways, I decided to quit for good. Hopefully it will not have dramatic effect on my hairloss! I know it might sound counter productive, but I really weighted all pro's & con's, checked the actual result from minox+dermarolling vs finasteride and decided it's not worth keeping it up with little and decreasing effectiveness.
  24. Rolandas
    I don't want to rush as donor has finite supply and my AGA is quite aggressive. At the moment I want to see how it will look when all grow out. I will give it a year and will assess the situation. Hopefully Finasteride will improve situation in the crown and mid-scalp. So far in 6 months it did quite a lot which I'm extremely happy.
  25. Rolandas
    To be honest I didn't ask as I decided not to go back to Minoxidil, hence not worth using dermaroller as well.
