Fluffhead

@Gatsby The other day, @Melvin- Admin popped up in my YouTube feed announcing the Hair Transplant of the Year, and I was stoked to see the award go to you. What an incredible transformation. Simply stunning. Black magic fuc*ery. There is no patient more deserving than you. I figured I'd swing by to congratulate. Enjoy that stunning mane, bro. Welcome to having your life back. It's an incredible feeling. 😎

This one is going to be a home run. So happy to see the @Eugenix team still killing the game. You were very smart to have both Drs. Arika and Pradeep handle the surgery. There should be a post pinned to the top of the forum that says, “Don’t overthink it. Pay up for the duo supreme super package or whatever the hell they call it these days because it is absolutely worth it.” Do you want the guy who can come off the bench to get you a bucket or do you want the guy who can hit the game winner at the buzzer? I know who I’m choosing. They are absolutely worth every rupee.

The 🐐 full stop. You’ve become an inspiration and an opinion leader on this forum. Was a pleasure to work through your post to catch up on all I’d missed. So stoked for you @Zoomster. You absolutely deserve it. Until the next time, amigo. Fluff out. 🤙

@Melvin- Moderator you’re an invaluable asset to this community. Wishing you all the best as your final result starts to come through.

@MazAB so happy for your result. Looking diesel as well. Loving the self discipline and drive to be your best self. Will need to pop back in next August to see your final result. Best of luck, brotha!

Hello Gentlemen, Sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence. Honestly, after I passed the year mark I moved on and kinda forgot about this forum. Last night, however, I was cruising YouTube before bed, and the all knowing algorithm delivered a video by forum member Mr. Rolandas (that guy's HT is one of the best I've ever seen), and it made me think that you guys are owed an update. It thrills me to see all of the Eugenix patients on the forum now, and it looks like even our esteemed @Melvin- Moderator has had some work done there, which is looking phenomenal btw. @Zoomsteris probably too swamped in pussy after his second procedure to go back for a third, and @Looking for HT's hair is so strong now it appears to be doing follicle muscle ups. @MazABlooks like he should be on the cover of Men's Health and the forum's kindest member @Gatsby is looking like he might make a run at Zoomster's title as most impressive Norwood 7 transformation. Needless to say I am absolutely thrilled to see all of you thriving and living your best lives. Because this post is a bit impromptu, I haven't prepared any pictures for this purpose, but I have included some random selfies taken over the past few months in a variety of lighting situations. Have noted where styling products were used. 30 months - blow dried w/ styling clay (Hanz de Fuku - Quicksand). Window sunlight. 30 months - post morning workout, no styling or product. 27 months - random Sunday afternoon no styling. Longer hair. 29 months - right and left temples, outdoors and blow dried w/ styling clay (Hanz de Fuku - Quicksand) 29 months - office lighting blow dried w/ styling clay (Hanz de Fuku - Quicksand). Fresh haircut. 28 months - just woke up hairline and donor area. Natural light. I think it goes without saying that I'm very happy with my long term results. Has changed my life. All in I spent around $6000, so I consider this about as good as it gets for the price. I still use the big 3 religiously and otherwise take good care of the hair that I've got. I have started to notice some miniaturization in my mid scalp and recently had a pretty heavy shedding event, so just remember that MPB is for life. You will always be fighting it so use your grafts wisely and don't be afraid to hop on Finasteride. Can't stress that last part enough. I will probably get another HT in the future to bulk up the mid scalp area behind my transplant and perhaps fill in the little gap in the front, but I don't plan to do it anytime soon. If there are any questions, I will pop back in to answer them, but after that it's probably the end of this thread until the next time I sit in the chair. -Fluff

Thanks for all your support along the way, JohnAC71!

One more thing. @Melvin-Moderatorthanks for the work you do. Your professionalism and facilitation makes this forum a serious and impartial place. It's one of the most well moderated communities I've ever had the pleasure of joining. Sincerely, thank you.

12 months in the book. Has been a a fulfilling journey. I have nothing but the deepest gratitude to the Eugenix team for giving me my hair and confidence back. I can recommend, without reservation, their services and hope my pictures and documentation can help someone else make an informed decision about their own hair restoration options. As usual have added different views. 1) Barely towel dried in direct sunlight like if you’re at the beach. 2) Towel dried outside 3) styled with clay no fibers indoors4) Same as #3 but in direct sunlight 5) Same as #3 but outside. I do feel that a year’s worth of Rogaine has helped my crown somewhat. Not a massive difference but noticeable. This is it for me until 18 months. Will be back with one more update at that time. Peace, Fluff

Eugenix explains it well in this video: I have personally experienced it myself, and apparently @Zoomsterhas also. I think that case by case there are many factors at play, but I would assume the primary one is how many transplanted hairs actually grew in the first place. If less than full growth was achieved, the desynchronization phase might be more obvious. Also gotta remember that your native hair isn’t guaranteed to stick around even if you’re on Finasteride. Miniaturization of native hairs will impact the result over time. For me it hasn’t caused much of a drop in the overall aesthetic, but it does strengthen the urge to bulk up what I have with a second pass. For us poor bastards suffering from hair loss, it’s a never ending fight. Just have to stay hopeful and consistent. 😊

I too have experienced a fair amount of anagen desynchronization. My theory is that the "12 month" result for Eugenix patients actually happens around month 11 because most of us experience such early growth. I believe it will come back, but it definitely looks a little disconcerting. Overall, however, both of our results are very good, and a little density work will make them even better. Happy New Year, brother!

Good luck man!

Praying for the best @paddyirishman. In this world of COVID uncertainty, I'm feeling despondent that we haven't heard you in almost 6 months. I asked Nelson to reach out to you on WhatsApp, and he said he wasn't able to get a response. Waiting for the day that you suddenly show back up on the forum with locks of hair that would make Elvis envious. Hoping your absence is just a ploy to build up the greatest possible anticipation for your 12 month result. 😄

Welcome to the Eugenix fraternity! Post op looks A+. Not a ton of hairline cases like this from Eugenix, so I hope you continue to update us. I'm finishing up 12 months very soon and am thrilled with my result. Looks like you're set up for success. Have a speedy recovery and happy growing!

In person and under certain lighting it's not great. I would prefer it be filled in. I think I've just experienced some shedding, though, which is natural and to be expected. I've already started to experience some regrowth in that area. Should look better by month 12.
