  1. Thanks everyone overall I’m very happy I took a couple of candid outdoor shots this morning in the sun. Excuse the bed head...
  2. @EvansLawrence the light there is pretty harsh, it’s directly under an LED strip light. I’ll do some wet pics at home for next update for comparison to the pre op. When I see pics from before I get a bit of a shock how bad the recession was... You’re right though the crown is the weakest part. People say you can get improvement up to 18m on the crown so hopefully a bit more to come?
  3. Excellent job on the videos @Mane_man2019 Thanks for your efforts and your honesty...you look great.
  4. Hello everyone I said I'd update at 9 months and it's almost 10 but better late than never! Here are my latest progress pics. I am happy overall. It's not perfect I'd like more density in transplanted areas but I don't think I'll go back until at least 5 or 10 years have passed since I am 37 and I don't want to burn through all my donor at such a relatively young age. I am still hoping for further thickening and maturation because I do seem to be a slow grower and I think there is still some maturation happening.
  5. They take a tracing of your entire head and mark out the balding areas and densities required on a per square cm basis so hairline gets 50 grafts per cm2 but futher back 30 grafts per cm2 etc. I really had 2 surgeries in one. The front (2800) and the crown (2100) so that's how we get to that number. Was my decision to try and hit em all in visit albeit over 3 days
  6. Hi @Raza I’m not sure how to respond to that because this thread you’re in is a contemporaneous account of my experience! If you’ve any specific questions I’ll be happy to reply 🙂
  7. @PizzaWolf the hairline was kind of a natural result of the hairline I already had I guess, because to make it totally straight would have been somewhat unnatural especially into my 40s (which are closer than I’d like!) Yes Dr Elif suggested to use a few beard grafts for the crown to preserve the donor I’d definitely go back to HLC if I needed anything else doing. Great people there and I am happy so I see no reason to change anything 🙂 @Bax thank you man appreciate your support!
  8. Hey @PizzaWolf thanks for your comment 🙂 Yes all the docs were there for the consult with Dr Ozgur taking the lead. In terms of how close it is to my original hairline I’m not sure to be honest because my loss has been very gradual since I was maybe 19 or 20, but not aggressive loss so I’ve sort of forgotten. I would say now it looks better than I was at say 23. Dr Ozgur made an interesting comment actually that my hairline in the middle is “too low” according to the rule of thirds so they kind of left a little tuft there “as is” and implanted behind it to recreate an appropriate hairline. I told them I like a slight widows peak, which is what I got!
  9. Here's the donor from today. Pretty impressive work by Dr Elif, in my opinion, considering about 4.5k grafts have been whipped out it looks pretty much as before to my eyes. Forgot to ask how many I have left. Hoping I won't need them for quite some years. Might need a touch up to get the desired result on the hairline, let's see.
  10. Hey @LonelyGraft I think the donor looks good as you can see I had a low skin fade and there are some small dots visible where it’s basically bald around the nape area, but tbh I don’t think you’d notice unless you’re a HT nerd (like we all are here) I neglected to take any photos of the donor but I’ll do it when I get chance.
  11. 6 month update! Coincidentally I just got a haircut today (2nd trim, post-HT) so please excuse the trimmings on my face 😆 Overall I feel happy so far. Let me qualify that, by saying if this was my final result I would be disappointed, but my experience so far and my intuition tells me that I have a way to go yet. I had often looked at the time timeline put out by HT docs showing a pretty linear progression all the way through to 12 months+ as a load of nonsense, but I think it might be quite accurate for me at least. The thing which bugs me the most is the hairline, where growth is sparse and if I was to expose it fully then it wouldn't look too good. However I can see new sprouts and gradual thickening here so hopefully I end up with an acceptable result after 12 or 18 months. Otherwise the density generally is good and the crown growth has been good, not perfect, but I am realistic because we implanted with lower density in the crown. Still 12 months of growth and maturation to come. I will probably update less often from here maybe at 9 months and 12 months etc. But let's see, onwards and upwards.
  12. Great result so far! Keep us updated with any further progress 😎
  13. @Melvin-Moderator I agree price shouldn’t be the only or even the main factor. Equally though neither should discussion of cost be verboten - that to me is silly and people shouldn’t be sneered at for talking about it
  14. If price wasn’t a factor Melvin I doubt anybody from the west would go to India for a hair transplant. With Eugenix you’re getting world class treatment at a good price. It’s all about finding a balance between what you can afford and what you’re comfortable with, for me.
  15. Wow I had no idea. 4 Euro a graft in India is a good business! Best of luck to the OP in your research and I agree that Eugenix at the price are hard to beat. Even if I find the name idiotic, sorry 😆
