  1. If it’s a two staged approach and the second surgery is in another area like the crown you could have surgery after six months. Personally though 12 months is much better because the donor area will have been given longer to heal and bounce back. Also it’s better to give the first surgery 12 months so you know exactly what you need to work with.
  2. @Hairrevival101 you have chosen an excellent surgeon. Stay on the Finasteride. Even if it is not growing new hair but you are not losing more hair then it is working. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing your updates.
  3. I’ve been on the carnivore diet over the past three and a half weeks and I’ve dropped 8kg already.
  4. Looking good. As a Norwood 7 in your mid 20’s (?) I would be extremely reluctant to waste finite grafts in the hairline and temple points. The only reason I agreed in my second pass to touch the hairline and temples was to finally hide my hairline scar from when I was young and butchered. Dr Sethi will more than likely want to add a little to the hairline and temples. However like @SLA I would stand your ground and focus purely on any weak points. I would keep oral minoxidil up your sleeve for later and the same with SMP. Stick with Finasteride now (if you are taking it/can tolerate it). As you know surgery for hair loss is like trying to hit a moving target. You want to preserve not just your donor but also the transplanted hair from that donor for not just the years but the decades ahead of you. I think your results are incredible and ten years ago this would have been just a dream for both of us. All the best for your next procedure.
  5. I think two and a half months is too early. Give it six months and compare your baseline pic to a six month pic. Better yet you could consider oral minoxidil. It goes systemic by passing through the liver and is a lot less messy and easier to comply with. All the best.
  6. Looking great @Steeeve. Plenty of time ahead of you and great to see the crown already kicking in. 💯👌
  7. Personally I’m not a fan of micro needling. Stick to oral finasteride and minoxidil if you can tolerate them. Again it’s my opinion and I’m not a doctor. All the best.
  8. Slow and steady wins the race @ng528. Look better every month. 💯👊🏻
  9. @Petroholic I know shedding seems to be common but personally I don’t think I’ve ever experienced it. If I did have it I wasn’t aware of it anyway.
  10. These are my eye brows before oral minoxidil. These are my eyebrows one year after oral minoxidil.
  11. I honestly don’t know and it’s ruled by genetics. I have found personally that oral minoxidil has darkened my hair and Eugenix brows.
