Don't have any myself but Ian from BHR can post my pre and post op photos if he sees this.

Just to give an update. I did go back for a third surgery with Dr Bisanga last October. It was to strengthen the left mid scalp and also got a a few added to the crown whilst there. In total I got a further 1500 grafts added from my donor scalp.

Yeah I take 1.25 milligrams 3 times a week.

For me, this forum was great. Just want to try and repay the help and knowledge I gained from it. Regarding MSM/Biotin I think they help hair health. I haven't taken them in months but that is more down to me now using oral Minoxidil and just maybe getting lazy in taking numerous pills. When I get up in the morning I swallow a Minoxidil pill and I'm done.

Hey all, been a while since I posted an update but to my mind anyhow it hasn't changed alot in the last couple of months. See below photos from today. I'm now about 8 months on oral Minoxidil. The results are really good and a total game changer for me, there is just that middle part on the left that I'd like brought up to the standard of the rest. I will be going back to Dr Bisanga in the Spring (i just need to organise a date with him for when I'm close by with work) we'll see what might be needed then.

I'll post pics at the weekend.

Photos today, just at the 13 month stage. I also switched over to oral Min almost 3 months ago so it will be interesting to see if that starts to make a difference soon.

Thanks, naturally it more wants to go left to right if that makes sense, also I generally keep it short enough so not too much can be done with it.

Thank you. I recall Dr B saying 1000 beard grafts still being available from my beard straight after the op but when I visited recently he was pleasantly surprised about the condition of my beard donor, I hadn't shaved in 3 days so it could be could be closer to 1500 available there. I also have an abundance of chest hairs available, these are dead straight and closer in diameter to my scalp hairs than the beard ones. I should be good for a touch up if needed. I know the left side is weaker but I've been thinking did I have a shed when changing over from topical to oral Min which showed up on the last photos. I'll post more photos next week which will be the 12 month mark. BTW I am really happy with how all this turned out for me, it has been a game changer for me, I am so much happier and confident. Thanks all for the comments, I hope my journey is useful to folks thinking about undergoing such a procedure.

Hi all, Sorry for the delay, 11 months now since the 2nd op. Hair is indeed longer. The left side remains weaker but I do notice some smaller hairs coming through. I have stopped using Minoxidil foam and went on the oral Monoxidil almost a month ago after meeting with Dr Bisanga. We'll see how it progresses over the next 5 months before seeing if I need a touch up there.

Hi all, Sorry I haven't posted an update in a while, just been extremely busy. Anyhow see my latest photos taken outside in the lovely weather we have at the moment. The hair is quite short at the moment so my photos in a months time will give a better representation. One side is weaker than the other but overall I am really happy with how it turned out.

The quick healing time with the beard is crazy, must be the extra blood flow. Great option to have available for those of us not blessed with large scalp donors

@Melvin- Moderator congrats, i am looking forward to seeing the growth over the coming months. You may have had disappointing results from your 1st procedure, but your donor looks looks impeccable after 4 of them. Good luck and happy growing

Thanks, really pleased with it considering my starting point. Kudos to Dr Bissanga and his team. No problem with the YouTube video.

That's them alright, not totally straight or as soft as scalp hairs.
