    I believe that you will indeed need another procedure to add density to the frontal region of your scalp. It does look like there has been some growth though!!! Keep us posted tho brother

    Hey there, I appreciate the kind words. Me at the (2.5 month approaching the 3month mark) is better than how I was before my transplant. It is so liberating to have done something about hair loss which has taken over the past 10 years of my life. I got a lot of shit for wanting to get a hair transplant from my family... funny how they all like my results now. I'm just glad I listened to myself, instead of shaving all my hair off. Anyways thanks for the positivity!

    Praying you are right brother 🙏 I will make sure to keep up with my monthly updates! Thanks for the comment.

    I like your 7 month post op pictures. Hair is filling out nicely. The donor area is indeed visible, but as long as it doesn't bother you, then there is nothing to worry about. Thank you for sharing!

    Hello JohnAC71, I appreciate the positive feedback! I am praying that you are right and that my outcome will look good. I am doing my best to give my hairs the best chance at growing. I am taking my dht inhibitors every single day, I use minoxidil, and a keto shampoo 4x a week. I also take multivitamins, fish oils, msm pills, eat a lot of fruits and veggies and drink a lot of water every single day. We are all in this together and if I can help anyone achieve good results, I do not mind sharing my updates. Stay tuned!

    I appreciate the positive feedback. I will make sure to give an update every single month so i can show/help anyone who is dealing with this dreadful issue. I will also keep up with my use of hair loss medications, thanks for the comment!

    roman, lemonaide, hims, medicalwellnesscenter.com, getting your hands on finasteride is especially easy now assuming you live in the United States.

    Hey Jimmy58! Yeah, I love my donor area, you literally cannot tell that hair was extracted from my back of my head which is a huge sigh of relief. And I believe that medications such as finasteride, dutasteride and minoxidil have helped me save much hair. Regarding you being at one month post, my brother there is nothing worse than examining your hair every single minute of the day. You did the hard part which was the hair procedure, so try your best to sit back and relax. Workout, eat healthy.. continue on with life, your hair will eventually grow with time! Also make sure to utilize any hair medications you are on. I will keep posted and if you have any questions let me know. Thanks for the comment.

    At 6 weeks your donor is still mildly visible. I believe it will get less noticable hopefully. As for your bumps on your head i will speak to a dermatologist and maybe get a script for antibiotic. I did so for my scalp bump irritation and it helped me alot.

    Yes, to be honest I like how my hair looks like at 2 months. My hair procedure, is hardly noticeable especially at night. My donor area has no sign of a hair surgery either. Hair loss has consumed so much of my time and attention that it was ruining my life. Getting a hair surgery has so far been one of the best decisions of my young adult life. I am blessed that everything looks amazing as of now. I will keep you brothers updated throughout my journey!

    2 MONTH POST OP PICTURES Hello everyone, These are my 2mo post op pictures. I have nothing on, no hair fibers, get etc. I also have been trimming my hair in order to best keep everything even length. I have been avoiding clippers on my recipient area. If anyone has questions let me know.
  12. MichaelD
    Looks solid bro! Happy for you

    Covid as terrible as it sounds, is a very convenient time for men who have had a ht surgey in the past couple of months (i say this respectfully). It allows us to stay at home and recover. Regarding not using medication.. i understand where you are coming from and respect your decision. My hair loss in my family is very strong so that is why i am using 2 types of dht inbitors! Anyways, keep the updates coming, i will definitely check up on your progress from time to time my brother. Stay safe!

    My clinic told me that the scabs should come off between days 9-12 so I would say no bro. You are headed to the ugly duckling phase man prepare yourself mentally for this stage. It is terrible but I believe well worth it. I am currently in this stage myself. Quick question: Are you using any medications such as (finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, keto shampoo etc)? Hope everything turns out well.
  15. MichaelD
    Yes, hopefully! The ugly duckling phase is horrendous but expected haha. Regarding the 2.25mg, I use two types of finasteride: 1mg from roman and a 5mg proscar tablet that I split into 4ths. So I will take 1 pill of 1mg fin and 1/4 of proscar tablet, which equals 2.25mg fin daily. Sorry for any confusion. And regarding dutasteride, I only take 3 capsules per week because just in case my hair loss resumes in the next 5, 10 or 15 years, I will have the option of using 0.5mg dut everyday, which will hopefully be strong enough to halt my balding in the future. And just to clarify, I have not experienced ANY sides from DHT Inhibitors. I am blessed.
  16. MichaelD
    You're absolutely right about DHT Inhibitors. They really do work, I am 100% positive that without fin and/or dut, I would be a NW7. It is mind blowing how young men who get surgery opt to not use dht inhibitors. And yeah with all the money Wayne Rooney has, you'd think he have access to the best of the best BUT he choose not to use dht inhibitors and it has backfired on him. I appreciate the kind words, I will keep this forum updated!

    1 MONTH POST OP PICTURES Alrighty you guys, it happened. I am truly experiencing the ugly duckling phase. I am not shocked or worried since I was expecting this to happen. I have been applying minoxidil 2x a day since day 15, so hopefully that helps the new hair grow faster. I am also still using finasteride 2.25mg every day along with dutasteride 0.5mg 3x a week. Please if anyone has any advice, tips or questions let me know. Hope everyone is staying safe. I will keep up with the monthly posts.

    To be honest I would use any of the regular, basic hair fibers that are on the market such as topic or febron. Note, that these hair fibers are pretty expensive but you can buy fibers on sites such as ebay that sell fibers that are relatively cheap. I highly believe that those fibers are generic branded hair fibers BUT in my opinion the definitely do the trick. I was just advising that if you had a reason to go out for like a date or something applying those fibers would conceal the thinning hairline. Anyways keep us posted brother!
  19. MichaelD
    Have you thought about applying fibers just so that your hairline looks a bit more full? My thoughts are: yes the doctor hairline for you was inappropriate. Very low, straight and didn't use nearly enough grafts. With that being said using fibers should help out for the time. But if i were you, i'll look for another fue transplant. Good luck and thanks for being bold and posting your progress pics for everyone to see

    Hair is looking great man!
  21. MichaelD
    Amazing results. Have you been using any medications? Finasteride and/or minoxidil?
  22. MichaelD
    I appreciate you!
  23. MichaelD
    Taking oral minoxidil is dumb man. Too fucking risky in my opinion. I'd rather be bald than to take ANY chances with my heart... but as you say, "it is your decision". I don't believe you can buy oral minoxidil without a prescription from a legit doc anyways.
  24. MichaelD
    I would be careful consuming oral minoxidil. It is a lot more dangerous than topical. I have yet found a site that can sell oral minoxidil legally. Good Luck!
  25. MichaelD
    Just wanted to say thanks to you I went to ASMED as well due to posts like yours. Cheers on your new hair man!
