    Just read all 34 pages of this rollercoaster thread. Here's my take, which you won't like or accept but it's just my opinion! I noticed I was thinning at 20 years old and it affected my life for another 11 years (31 now) before I got a HT. All throughout my 20s I wanted a HT and I likely would never have considered my donor area or the future because that's simply just a part of being young. It's pure fortune I didn't pull the trigger and get a procedure until 31 years old. I'm on finasteride 3x a week (no sides luckily). You've had (supposedly) over 7000 grafts before 30 years old and you can't take finasteride. Purely just from reading how you write I can tell you're pretty intelligent but also a perfectionist and also vanity driven (Not a good combo). I do think if you get another HT you'll improve the temples and hairline and it will last a couple of years. But after 10k grafts taken via FUE, it would be extremely likely that some of those hairs will be susceptible to DHT in the coming years. It's just probability. The level of thinning on top and in the crown already concerns me, I think you're going to experience a lot more in the coming years and if you deplete your donor area you're going to end up with weird looking hair and a really terrible donor area before you are 40. You're a good looking, intelligent person with a lot of life to live. Try and take this on board but if you don't that's none of my business. Cheers

    It looks like you could get a decent FUT result from your donor man

    Thanks mate, I'll keep doing updates. Next one will be once the shed is in full swing probably around week 3-4

    Day 17? Update. Growing really well now, the redness is still very evident but I'm pretty pale skinned so I anticipate that will hang around for a while. Scalp is getting quite dry and almost flakey the last few days. I've started applying aloe vera gel to the recipient area as well as the donor which seems to help. Not too happy about the thought of shedding all this growth off but I guess that's a part of the process.

    Yes can do! It's just difficult getting a photo of it properly

    Fantastic unbiased content Melvin! I would add, the surgeon's ability to do all types of HT. Most dodgy clinics in Turkey can only do FUE for instance because it's easier to train a non-medically trained person to perform it.
  7. NicoAustralia
    Photos are way too close up but agreed, it's not a great result.

    Hairline looks pretty good mate! I really like the small imperfections he's put in. It will look far more natural with those included.
  9. NicoAustralia
    Day 10! Most scabs are gone now. I'll wait till about day 15 now and post some update pics.
  10. NicoAustralia
    Man I can't wait to see how thick it looks after a year!
  11. NicoAustralia
    Looks awesome so far! Lots of people get their hairline too low in my opinion. This is going to be a great, natural result.
  12. NicoAustralia
    Hey Rob, managed to find it! Looking forward to following this. I actually think you're going to find it thickens up a lot more over the next few months! Hairline is higher than I'd personally like but I also got a reasonably mature hairline in my surgery so time will tell with me too. Best of luck mate.
  13. NicoAustralia
    Have you had a transplant yourself? I'd love to see some pics if so. Very curious now!

    DAY 8 POST OP: Quick little update. Sorry pics are a little gross! Some redness subsiding now and most the scabs are gone. It' really cool to see little hairs along my hairline for the first time in years! Donor area still pretty sore where the stitches are (Should be dissolving now). I think the pain there is actually kind of worse now because the nerve endings are waking up again. Not looking forward to the inevitable shed over the next few weeks.
  15. NicoAustralia
    Any lower and your hairline will be in your forehead muscles. Crown can take well over a year to grow in, you need to relax! Most dudes would kill to have your results mate, don't worry so much.
  16. NicoAustralia
    I'm day 7 now. It's fine during the day but as you said, at night I wake up and the staples are incredibly sore.
  17. NicoAustralia
    Likewise mate! Because that was my surgeon's recommendation due to the level/pattern of my baldness and also I'm not fussed about the scar and would rather have the hair transplanted from an area that I know won't be unsafe.
  18. NicoAustralia
    I had FUT surgery 7 days ago and I was similar to you before the operation, perhaps a little less baldess. I had 2600 grafts or thereabouts.
  19. NicoAustralia
    Excellent results so far! Anyone else think that doesn't really look like 5000 grafts?
  20. NicoAustralia
    Approximately what day did your pain subside mate? The area where the stitches are is still pretty painful for me 6 days post op and feeling really tight. Worse in the morning after sleeping on it all night 😭
  21. NicoAustralia
    I've already done a post were I'll update regularly. It's in another section of the forum. Search my username and you will find it
  22. NicoAustralia
    Thanks for your reply mate! Yeah I think it will definitely add to the illusion of density having curly hair. I can't remember exactly but he said I could easily have another procedure
  23. NicoAustralia
    Amazing results mate! I just got FUT myself this week and it's great to see such positive results. Very reassuring! Have you tried cutting the back down to a #3 yet? My doctor says #4 is the lowest I'll be able to go but I've got seriously thick donor hair so who knows?
  24. NicoAustralia
    I had FUT this month myself, looking forward to following your results mate
  25. NicoAustralia
    Pretty scabby day 6
