    My Barber is in agreement with you Melvin he says the donor area doesn’t seem that bad. I’ll keep updating! 7 months in. This is after woke up and put 5% minox in. Not surprisingly it makes a difference. After shower it looks better. doc did say at the start I would need a second procedure. I will post an update soon on what I’m thinking and what I’m going to do

    Transplantedphil thanks for that list of names. I am not sure I can post prices, I can say it’s good price.

    Side by side from first haircut to this current one. It’s a little longer at the back, this time

    Thanks for the honest feedback- this is such a great community. I have your backs too if you ever need the feedback. October 10th is the start of month 7. I just got a haircut with Barber. Here are the pics.

    Yes I think going with less would probably best. That’s probably what the doctor Magdelin was looking at and noticing. As he suggested 1000 more, and mentioned and additional procedure or two after that. HW suggested just FUE. HW mentioned I should expect improvement with next procedure- yet not enough coverage to avoid seeing scalp in bright light. So lower the expectations. I will have to think about what to do. I’m already scheduled for the 26 October to do a smaller 1000. His suggestion is in line with HW in that regard. I think the approach similar too blending and working on front. I’ll have another consultation and see if there are any other ideas. For now I’m booked for the 26th October 1000 fue Grafts and the roller coaster continues, yay.. hope this story turns into victory. What a journey so far!

    H & W consultation: 3k grafts would be ideal with my donor area 1500-2000 is all I have. They mentioned after this procedure my donor area will be minimum if not fully depleted. The style they described is similar to how dr. Magdelin described the next phase. the price to go to H&W is extremely high. Not realistic for me. I will bring up concerns of donor area to dr Magdelin. I will consult someone else too. Not sure what to do at this point.

    That’s brutal, clinics will do that. it’s probably a sad truth in the industry. I’m not convinced dr Magdelin would do this, your right Jay I wouldn’t be able to prove it either. Crazy world we live in. You would think doing a great job would give you a client for life. I think it’s worth getting a second opinion and setting up a consultation.
  10. Dangrowthfactor
    Yeah and do you see too much scaring in the donor area? I think that’s what I’m bothered by the most now
  11. Dangrowthfactor
    Hey brother, yes I notice the area where he took the grafts has significant patchy quality. I so appreciate your honest feedback your right it puts us at risk if it isn’t genuine feedback. You the man ! I am going to get second opinions from other surgeons. That’s the beauty of these forums, having eachothers backs ! Or scalps rather lol 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you for the wakeup call!

    thanks Michael will keep the updates coming 💪🏻Appreciate the feedback ! Hey john, appreciate any and all feedback not take it wrong at all. I have considered the team in Canada Hassan and Wong ? I think I got that right. yes there will be some maturation he showed some of the hairs still coming up ( grafts 3 hairs with one graft some of those still sprouting). he did mention that even after additional 1000 I might want to put another 500-700 in to help with blending. He noted that it will never be as dense as the other parts of scalp, that I could get at minimum double the density I have now if not more, and then see how that goes then touch up another 500 -700. so your right will probably need more. He was very straightforward in what to expect in terms of density with what’s already in. It’s on track for over 90% grafts taking. Not sure how much more, some increased density. I really appreciate the comments and all the feedback it really is helpful

    So I just finished my 6 month follow up appointment. He looked at the grafts, 90% has grown. There are still more hairs just coming up. Looking like 90%+ yield. He recommended 700-1000. More grafts he can get me in next month. Meaning shaved head again lol I would get double the current density so October 26th we would start again 🤪
  14. Dangrowthfactor
    These taken today sept 13th. The start of 6 month make was Sept 10th. hair dry more natural light from window lights behind me though. It makes a difference.
  15. Dangrowthfactor
    Wow awesome results 👏🏻

    The 6 Month Mark has arrived. Today Sept. 10th is the start of month 6. still on minox 5% foam, and finasteride Still have to set up follow up appointment with Dr Magdelin. we spoke on the phone, going to talk about touch up procedure to double or potentially triple the density. He was very clear that we restored a fraction of original density. He’s been very consistent and straightforward through the entire process. If I am heading in the direction where of the 1400 I have maximum yield of grafts that’s great. Will def need another procedure to fill in density. the light, makes a difference in appearance. If it’s wet or dry makes a difference in appearance. Combed or Not is seen below. Both wet hair. Bright light.

    Thanks brother 💪🏻 Well see in the next 3 months. So for anyone who is going through process go get a professional to cut the hair. My 6 month follow up is approaching- doc will be able to assess progress- brainstorm what next steps are which I’ll share here
  18. Dangrowthfactor
    Thanks foxtrot I think your right- the hair length was very uneven and that made contrast what it was. And I butchered it myself which probably made it look more disproportionate. fingers crossed more density in upcoming months. Next pics will be 6 month mark Sept 10th. Also for best Barber in Boston @persuitimage on Instagram.

    First haircut since late February. Crazy- I took time off work for surgery- after surgery Covid had us all in quarantine. I know last haircut was well before March 10th .
  21. Dangrowthfactor
    I was taking Biotin up until about 2.5 weeks ago. I have to buy more, I have stopped.
  22. Dangrowthfactor
    Alright- all corny jokes aside. This is the start of month 5- 1400 FUE hairline restoration. So there is some growth. This is almost 50% of the growth. I am told 6 month I should expect 50%. I can see the density is not where I want it to be. I am hoping that it improves significantly. within next 2-3 months. we shall see!
  23. Dangrowthfactor
    Just playing 10th is tomorrow so it will be official start of month 5- I will update with pics from camera.
  24. Dangrowthfactor
