Both surgeries in Greece. The first with DHI in 2017. I believe they butchered my donor a little cause I think they used too large punches. The second was in 2020 with a private clinic in Athens.

Hi there. The first operation in 2017 added 4100 hairs (not sure how many grafts) in my front mid and crown m, but mostly in my front to restore my receding hairline. The second operation for 1400 grafts added density to the hairline as the natural hair behind the transplanted had falled. In my second transplant the doc attempted to add density to the forelock with limited success. I haven’t transplanted anything in the mid scalp or crown pretty much. My estimate is that I would need 3000 grafts from a very skilled surgeon to cover my thinking forelock mid and crown. I probably will hold off for another 2 years however I wouldn't want to wait too long and have this entire area empty out completely. I wouldn’t consider a hair system ever. I’m using fibers now and then and they are a good substitute so far. My main concern is to 1) make a plan with a skilled surgeon who can transplant between natural hairs and 2) ensure that my donor can deliver the grafts.

Hi guys, I wanted to give an update on my hairloss condition as the past two months I’ve noticed that my crown and mid scalp have started thinning more aggressively even though I’ve been on 1mg fina since January 2021. Ive attached the pictures. My main concern however is about the condition of donor area. I’ve attached a picture of my donor (post two operations approx 3000 grafts taken already). What do you think of it ? Can it support another 1 or 2 operations to cover the entire head? The picture only shows part of the central and the left side of the donor.

Hi Melvin, I was on 0.5 fina for 6 months and since 1 month I’m on 1 mg. Do you think if it stabilizes in 2 years I could be a good candidate to increase density in the mid, forelock and crown area ?

Hi! Anything that’s behind the hairline is not transplanted hair. I fear that it will take a very talented surgeon to go in an increase the density in those areas (forelock mid and crown ) as it still has miniaturized hair and the danger of shock loss is real. I’ve looked at various clinics I haven’t seen many cases like mine with diffused thinning across the head.

Hi there! The first surgery in Greece was with DHI and the second surgery with Ioannis Gkouras at hair genesis clinic. Previous doctors have said that my donor can give up to maybe 5000 more grafts.

Hi Group, I’m a 26 year old male and suffer from difused alopecia since my eary 20’s. I’ve had two operations done on my hairline with some success (as you will see in the picture). I’m currently on 1mg fina per day and was on 0.5 mg fina the last six months! As you will see from pictures taken under the light I’m a potential NW5 with my forelock, midscalp and crown areas soon to be emptied unless fina keeps me that way for the next years. My previous hair transplant experiences in Greece were average at best. I was never consulted to take any medication and the overall results and approach were not satisfactory. On my first transplant I had approx. 1700 grafts placed and on the second 1440 grafts. In the pictures below you will see my donor area so you can better estimate what my donor capacity is. I’m currenty examining doctors such as Dr. Pekiner, Bruno Fereira, Hattingen and Cyprus (HDC). My hair situation is complicated because it will take a lot of skill to go in between the miniaturised hair and create density of over 40g/cm. That’s why I need your help to guide me towards the best doctors that can go in and create that density with the maximum chance of success. Because I’ve already had two transplants I need the third one to be a good one or else I’m out of donor hair! Thanks a lot!
