  1. It seems it’s picking up better. I also had improvements on months 8 and 9 post surgery. You will actually feel “changes” until 12/15 months from the HT’s initial day, and particularly in the hair texture.
  2. Thanks @Melvin- Moderator, I appreciate your kind words.
  3. And this below is a quick update with shorter( and dirty) hair. I’m actually ok with the result, even though hair density isn’t massive. I started with half head almost empty and I managed to get a new hairline design that covers enough my forehead. Pictures are outdoor and indoor within different lights.
  4. Thanks @mxm56! I feel good with my new hairline and definitely have more confidence. Let’s always be positive and I’m sure you’ll find the right doctor to help you with your hair loss. I wish you all the best
  5. Hi @JC71 thank you very much for your feedback. I have been noticing less significant improvement over the last few months, and particularly referring to the hair’ quality, even though I wish it can get a little better. I think I’m ok at the moment, I might consider a density enhancement in few year while monitoring my alipecia’s progress. I’m quite confident the vertex will progressively get worst, even though finasteride might help. I’m just really curious to see my head with shorter hair. I will update more pics when I’ll get a new haircut.
  6. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your nice feedback and support. Overall I can’t complain as the main aim was to rebuild an area quite huge(190cm2) with 5k grafts, and somewhat we managed. I feel the change and I’m definitely more comfortable with the day by day imagine’s concerns. I’m expecting transplanted hair to get more and more natural with the time that passes by. I also have to mention, as I probably did in other occasions, that the clinic was always by my side, checking frequently the progress and ready to help for any enquire.
  7. Hi guys 18 months post surgery update. I only have pics with longer hair but I will update more pics when I’ll get a haircut. So I think that’s the final result, overall not a bad one. I was hoping to get a slightly better density over the front, which is the only downside of the whole process along with a still difficult texture to manage. change of immagine is massive, looking at the pre surgery photos the difference is huge and it feels cool. the perception still change up to lighting and hair’s length. what do you guys think?
  8. Thanks @JohnAC71, I’ve actually spoken to ASMED today and got their feedback. They recommended to use some minoxidil for the next 6 months to see whether I can get little more hairy in the weaker area. To be honest I’m not a big fan of minoxidil and I’m concerned it’s going to make things worst once I’ll stop using it. however we agreed to wait until 18 months post surgery before coming to a final judgment. They only see the same pictures as I normally update on this forum so I believe they’ll need a more detailed check to better understand my situation.
  9. Well, definitely! There are cases where an NW5 get better density with 5k grafts but of course it’s not an easy achievement. The clinic is always asking for feedbacks and how I feel, which is very supportive. I would consider the option to go back to ASMED, even though I’m slightly concerned about using more grafts from the donor area. 5k graft is a huge number and I’ll be worried not to be able to shave my head on the side and behind. How many grafts do you think will make it better?
  10. Thanks dude! you also had a massive change of immagine, congrats.
  11. Yep @Egy, I agree. Like the majority of us I was hoping for a better density within one hair transplant. Unfortunately something is missing on the left side. It’s still a very decent result as I was completely bald on the front scalp and I had no hairline, shame about the little lack of density that pushes me to style my hair to the side to cover the scalp. Eventually if hair get thicker might cover a bit more,as they’re difficult to “manage” at the current. Still few months ahead to see if any improvements come. I keep crossing my fingers 🤞
  12. Hi guys, This is my 12 month update. Steady situation over the last couple of months,I’m still hopeful to see some hair texture’s changes. Density lack a bit in some areas, little under my expectations but ( as per comparative picture) the change of immagine is quite massive considering where I was starting from. The clinic is always in touch, asking for pictures and “feelings”☺️ As agreed, we will wait for the 18th month to be over before coming to any conclusion. The re-growth is visible and we hope that the thickened of my hair could bring still some margin of improvement, coverage wise. They recommended to use minoxidil, for the next 6 months, but I’m concerned it will get worst one I’ll stop it. At the moment I say it looks different if I brush my hair down ( I get less scalp visible) or up and up to the different lightings. Most of the Pictures are under strong light, as always, for a better perception of the density, with wet hair and dry hair brushed up and down. I keep being positive and I’ll wait for 18 months before judging the whole situation ✌️
  13. Wow Mario, what a progress! I think this is a wonderful result, and the crown still has few months ahead, so don’t worry, there is still margin to improve. I’m glad for you, you look so different.It seems like you never suffered of Alopecia. congrats
  14. Thanks @Melvin- Moderator, very kind of you! That was a great night and such an incredible feeling. Feel sorry for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and all my English friends though, as London is my home.
  15. Thanks JohnAC71, it was a long journey to get to this image. As I shaved my donor at 1mm I have to say it’s still a decent look. However I’m concerned that, in case I’ll need it in the future, another HT would probably affect the donor in a way that I won’t be able to shave it anymore. As I said, I will have a more detailed pics update next August, when it’ll be 1 year post surgery. Thanks again for your support
