6 Month Update:

Hi guys apologies for the late update.  Time has flown by and I can’t believe 6 months have passed already!  My hair is continuing to grow although I’m not sure there has been a huge change from 5 months, I’ll let you be the judge.  There are still some areas that haven’t grown as densely as I’d hoped especially on the right hand side of my hairline into the mid scalp but hoping they’ll catch up with the rest as it’s still early days really. The crown is still a little thin but nowhere near as bad as it was.  I can totally see how a hair transplant works as more of an ‘illusion’ of density.  When my hair is wet through and in certain bright daylight it looks a lot thinner.  However when dry or styled to the side or messed up it looks really thick!  You can see this clearly in one of the following photos which was taken in broad sunny daylight with wet hair combed forward and another one spiked up showing the thinnest areas. I never wear my hair like this but thought it would be useful for those thinking of getting a procedure done to  see the reality of it.

The other photos are taken in a more ambient light which in my opinion looks best. 

The patch in the middle of my scalp that wasn’t worked on looks thinner in contrast but I’m getting pretty good coverage anyway.  I’m still taking oral Minoxidil daily and propecia every other day to hopefully bide some time, however, when I meet with Dr B for my progress check I might discuss options for sorting this area in the future.  I’ve also heard that if he’s not totally happy with the work or if some grafts didn’t want to grow that he offers a free touch up which demonstrates his commitment to excellence  and professionalism.

Overall I’m amazed at the difference from where I started from and I’m much happier with my hair.  To not feel the need for concealer is priceless.  If you are thinking of getting this done, do your research, ask questions, and ask more! Having realistic goals and expectations will put you in the best starting point.  Then you can enjoy the journey!

Any questions please ask 😎

 

@Danny1671 this looks amazing! What a difference. Do you have any other progress pictures please? I am looking at booking in with Dr Bisanga but I am a 5V on the scale as of today. Only 24 so slightly worried I will have more hairloss in the future and want to avoid another procedure where possible as I may need upwards of 5000 grafts for the first. 

Thanks and happy growing! 

Hi @Charlie25, I am looking into booking with Dr Iniekio  in the next few weeks. Would you please be open to a conversation with me about the process etc? I am terrified to be honest and could really do with speaking to somebody that has been through the process. I am a 24 year old male, I would say I am around a 5V on the Norwood Scale. Around a year ago the Kensington Hair Transplant told me I was too young for a procedure and advised I wait a few year until my hair line has stopped changing. 

Any advise on cost, timelines and procedure etc you can give would be great. 

Thanks.
