    Thank you both for your advice and reassurance! Perhaps I might consider starting to use finasteride again to see if that helps, or just leave it as-is and get another procedure done down the road if need be!

    Hello everyone! Long time no see! Hope you are all doing well! I’ve been super happy with my results for the past 2.5 years and have no regrets! I wanted to pop on here to receive some advice or guidance, so to speak. Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed more of my scalp when I am looking in a mirror, so I decided to take some pictures tonight. The first picture is from tonight, the second one is after I combed it out, and the third one is a picture of my head in July 2020. I think everything is probably fine, but I can’t help by notice that my hair looks a bit thinner than it did 2 years ago? Is this a normal time line of hair transplants? Am I using bad hair products (hair gel and a bit of hairspray?). I’m still using oral supplements of biotin, saw palmetto, and a natural hair growth tonic. I’m even using the hair shampoo that I still have from Dr. Cinik’s and only wash my hair every 2 days. I’m probably just being paranoid and this was probably just a bad hair day, but I wanted to get your guys’ thoughts on this! Thanks in advance, as always!

    I know I am only one of many people that had Dr. Cinik as my surgeon and therefore, I am only one perspective. I’m assuming you have read through my forum and if you haven’t, then I would recommend doing so For myself, I had fantastic results and I am beyond happy about how things have played out and looked! With that being said, when I was choosing who to go with, I did see some results from Dr. Cinik’s office that were horrible. Was it a gamble to choose him over other people? Of course! But I’m so happy I did! Another thing to consider, which is often overlooked, is how good are people with their post-operative care? I’m sure there are people who are complaining about their results who also didn’t follow any of the instructions. Just some food for thought! I hope this has been helpful and in the end, trust your gut!

    Hey! I’m curious as to why these forums (mine included) were posted onto here? Is someone having an issue with Cinik

    Looks amazing, man! This is a great result and I’m glad you’re so happy!

    Thank you so much! This forum is what helped me decide on if and when I should do my hair transplant, so it felt right to return the favour!

    Hey everyone! So it’s been a little over a year since I went to Turkey for my hair transplant! Reflecting upon this past year, I am so grateful seeing as I was able to get it done JUST before covid shut the world down! As many of you know, I have been absolutely amazed and so happy and satisfied with the results I have been able to experience! I think this will likely be one of my last posts (unless people have questions or request updates). Therefore, I wanted to end it off with something a little bit special! One of my motivations for getting the procedure done when I did was because I was planning on proposing to and eventually marrying the love of my life! On Feb 20, 2021, I did exactly that! I have attached some photos from our special day! The best part about this, is that I can always look back at these photos with so much happiness, not only because I married this beautiful woman, but also because my hair looks DAMN FANTASTIC! With that being said, thank you so much for following along and for all the kind words, advice, and positive affirmations! This is such a fantastic community! Much love to you all!

    Thank you so much! I don’t have any photos now of it wet and combed through, but I will try to remember to take and post some photos tomorrow!

    I can grow a full beard as well! Funny how that happens right!? 😂
  16. Bax
    Thanks man! Not yet, but I’m sure it’ll catch up to me at some point 😂
  17. Bax
    Ahahaha! Thank you so much! And oh man, do I ever! Blessed with chest hair naturally, but not as much hair on my head 😂. But you’re right, a lot more reassuring to have the extra, just in case!

    Thank you for your input ! However, this was discussed earlier in this post. When I take these photos, I use the harshest light possible (to show more detail) and therefore, it gives the illusion that you can see where the hair was taken. That combined with me looking up slightly for the back of the head photos makes it look like you can see where the donor hair was taken from. In everyday life and in normal lighting, this cannot be seen whatsoever

    Hello gents! Hope you are all doing well and that 2021 is off to a great start! Just wanted to jump on here to give my 10.5 month follow-up! Honestly, no big changes, but I’m the same level of happy and ecstatic with the results! Decided to change up my hair style ever so slightly (now that I have options haha) by going a bit shorter on the top. Verdict: Still love it! Appreciate the positivity that this forum and many others brings for men who are going through the process!

    Looks great! And a little salt and pepper looks great on you! Very distinguished!
  21. Bax
    Wow, wow, WOW! Great result and made me emotional hearing how much this has impacted your emotional state as well! Good on you, man! It’s a fantastic result!
  22. Bax
    That is correct! At least for my case, Dr. Cinik didn’t stress the important of me taking propecia for the rest of eternity haha! He told me that the natural products would work perfectly for me!

    Hey man! Very excited for you in your journey to decide if a hair transplant is right for you! This is a great question and I can only answer it based on my experience. I only took 1mg Fin for a few months before my procedure and then a few months after. During this time, I did not experience any side effects. I have since been using Saw palmetto, biotin, and a biotin shampoo everyday and still experience continual growth and thickness. With that being said, is there a possibility that it won’t be enough and I could lose more hair further down the road? Definitely, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take to avoid putting too many things in my body. Plus, my donor site is really good and I have a plethora of chest/beard hair if I need to get another one in the future
