  1. Long overdue update. I think my results are mostly there. I have not seen too much change in the last 3 weeks or so. The donor which was a big concern has improved quite a bit but the right side is still a little parse. I can trim to a number 2.5 and people cannot make out that any hair was taken out. I am quite happy with the results and they look quite good and very close to what I had wanted. A couple of areas that could’ve been better are: 1, Temples: the transplanted hair look sparse and strange looking compared to the native hair and also curl quite a bit, 2, Immediately behind the left and right corners of the hairline, there seems to be an area which Is quite thin and looks unnatural as my hair grows longer. This could’ve probably been better if a few more grafts were put in there. I might go for a second procedure to get a touch up and fill in some areas and maybe have some put into the crown if the finesteride solution that I plan on purchasing from Eugenix when I am in Delhi (next month) does not help. The pictures attached are immediately after drying the hair and under quite harsh lighting with the exception of the last one.
  2. @musab: could you give us an update please. Looking forward to see your progress.
  3. @Goldwing: Could you give us an update please. Really eager to know how it looks right now.
  4. That is a phenomenal result, one of the best on the forum I would think. That is just amazing.😍😍 If you could just maintain this hair, you should be all set.
  5. Hi bud, It definitely looks better and sharper but it seems to be partly due to growing the hair behind longer. Did the doctor say why certain areas are responding slower than others. One of the consultants at Eugenix also had a slow result and did not have too much growth till the 8th month so might need to still wait.
  6. @Zoomster, those are really good results and you seem to have really thick hair. It looks quite good even in bright light. 😀
  7. Hope everyone’s staying safe during these troubling times. I’ve had to do some traveling and take care of some urgent work. Hope everyone’s staying safe in these troubling times. Here’re a few pictures from almost the 2 month mark. It looks like I might’ve had a little bit of shock loss near the crown and on the side donor areas, specifically on the right. I’m not too worried as this should pick back up in the coming months. I did not shed fully and some of the hair you see are the unshed hair. I also see a few new hair growing out of my scalp. It’s very few at this point but I’m fairly certain that it’s hair that didn’t e it’s before. It feels like I might be a little ahead of schedule but will be very patient and not stress if it takes a few more months. I’m taking the hair supplements which I purchased from Eugenix and still on Finesteride on alternate days. I will be getting topical Finesteride as well to add to the regimen shortly.
  8. I’m finding it hard to judge the difference in results between the 5th and 8th months but there is definitely improvement from before and after the transplant. Let’s wait and see what others on the forum think.
  9. I really think your results will still be very good but are just taking time. I was parsing through the transformation books at Eugenix while I was there and most people that were so summered there fell under the 5 to 8 or 9 month transformations. There were a few that were slower and a few that were faster. We average people are just going to be around that timeframe. You just got to wait a little longer I think.
  10. I’m doing well, doing well. Just have been super busy at work the past few days and could not update this thread. I will post the 7 day update within the next 2 days. Just a little worried about the right side of the donor and some density behind the left fronto temporal area but should mostly not be an issue. I saw your update as well and looking at Fluffhead’s amazing last month, I think your month should be sometime soon.
  11. Will be following a lot of these tips and putting some gauze on the recipient area while soaking. Thanks again Paddy. 5 more hours and I cannot wait to wash my head.
  12. Once this lockdown is done and the world gets some semblance of normalcy, I might just take you up on this offer.🙂
  13. Yeah, he seems to have this one place right by the ocean as well. I’ve seen parts of it and looks pretty good.😁
  14. Thanks @Looking for HT. As long as you’re still seeing growth, you could just be like Nelson who was just a slow grower. I will look forward to your updates. I more day of intensive care and I’m going to have to start the long waiting game.
  15. I thought I was the only one thinking this. This definitely needs to be flagged. Could be someone that’s very disgruntled with some of the recent events on the forum.
  16. Thanks @Abhinay Singh. Really appreciate the continued support from the clinic.
  17. Looking good @paddyirishman. The density looks really good, specially in the frontal photos. Even if it stopped right here, I think this is an excellent result but I am sure we will see even more improvement.
  18. Updated my experience and added photos from the surgery in the first post. Quick update with a picture as of 4 days post Op. The donor is healing quite well at the back of the head. The sides still sting a bit and look a little worse than the back of the head. I do not think they were over harvested and it could just be that the sides are more sensitive than the back. I am starting to feel the back of my head and the numbness has reduced in that part of the donor quite significantly. I obviously have not touched the recipient to know if it is still numb or not and will wait 7 days before trying to make than evaluation
  19. Thanks @Abhinay Singh. I did have my surgery on the 31st and had followed the pre-surgery precautions.
  20. Hi @Looking for HT, I hope you’re doing well. I just had my procedure at Eugenix a few days ago. How’s your growth coming along. Anything to share since the last update.
  21. Thanks for the update @Goldwing. It looks like you have progressed a bit since the last update although we still see a couple of places where it is thin. I am sure that will start to fill in as well. Do you think that you experienced shock loss in any of the places(crown or midscalp) and can you also comment on how you think you’re progressing. Also, how is your donor coming along. Can you share a picture of the donor as well.
  22. The dermatologist used a camera attachment to take pictures all over the scalp. She then showed me the donor area which was mostly doubles with some triples and singles and showed that the hair was quite thick and normal looking. There were no empty spots. It areas where I had lost all hair or was losing hair (thinning), you'll just see white spots (empty spots) which is basically where there was once hair but is no longer there. This could either mean the follicle is resting or is permanently gone. Also, the strands hair had a lot more singles and were narrower or wavier than the hair from the donor areas. It is a real quick check and took less than 10 minutes for the whole process.
  23. Thanks Z. You're always full of it. The puns I mean. 😁
  24. I kind of expected to stay back a little longer and was prepared for it a little bit but basically did get stuck for over 2 months and counting. Luckily, I am originally from India so it's not too bad.
