😂was just thinking that

sounds more like a review of a massage parlour 

Excellent 👍🏽 Bet your happy with that already 

lucky you being able to get a haircut 

A cap is fine to wear after about 10/11 days, not too tight.... I wore one with no issues especially handy during the shedding stage when your hair looks stupid at best 😂

A good quality neck pillow is handy for  the 1st few days for sleeping, will keep your grafts away from your pillow.

Excellent to hear kharmacoma 

Thanks Rob... really happy so far

Excellent... you look like a different person 

Yeah I agree with John since finding this forum I’ve found research is the key. Me myself did go to Dr Cinik around 5 months ago and couldn’t be happier but they are mixed reviews from Dr Cinik’s work on this forum. If I’d found this forum before my ht I dare say I would have went to a recommended clinic from here, I simply chose it through real results I had seen. Bit sitting here today I would not change a thing, my hairline is fine with what seems to be only single grafts and density is great from where I started  but I might have just been the lucky one.

Just research and take advice from many on here..... 

Looking good... just checked your starting pictures, very good result 👍🏽

So you should be pleased, looks great and luck you getting a haircut, all barbers shut here in the UK

Hey guys! I recently underwent a FUE hair transplant to fill in recession around my hairline and temples.

To recap my background: I'm 28 and have been on finasteride for about 5 years. Fin stalled my hairloss but some of the damage had been done by the time I got on it, and I've become more self conscious of my hairline ever since. I figure I was a Norwood II to III. So I took the plunge to get a hair transplant about a month ago thanks in part to this community!

I don't want to share the name of my surgeon here, since I've seen how they can significantly bias people's perspectives. But I will say that he is considered at the top of his game where I'm from. And I had a very pleasant experience with him and his team of 5 technicians who worked on me.

As you can see, the plan we came up with was the keep the hairline pretty much as is, lowering it by only 0.5cm, to fill in the temples, and add a bit more density to the forelock. (Keep in mind looking at the photos that they shaved about 5-10cm into my hairline the day of surgery.) In total, I got about 1700 FUEs and 3500 hairs.

As time has passed since the date of surgery, my mind is racing from browsing this forum, since I look at other threads here and question my results so far. In particular, I'm concerned about density since I've seen other people use upwards of 2500 grafts for what seems to be the same amount of area. (Though I realize head sizes vary, and I have seen great results with similar number of grafts like this one). The doctor I went with said 1700 was enough, and that number wasn't due to cost constraints. 

I'm hoping to get an objective opinion on how this transplant looks at this early stage — especially with regard to density and design.  (Yes, I know it takes 12-18 months to really know the outcome. :D) Partly this is to ease my mind, partly this is for me to plan ahead since many top docs have a 1 year+ waiting list if I need to do a second surgery.

Below are images of 1) pre-op with new hairline; 2) immediate post op; 3) two week post op; 4) three weeks post op (with about 15-20% shedding)

Thanks guys. I'll try to keep you updated as things come along!

 

 

From what I’ve seen number of grafts looks ample and hairline looks about right, likewise would like to see how it is now.

@yalla8definately a good shout to keep Dr and clinic a secret as you will not get biased comments.

something I wish I’d done looking back , because as soon as you say you’ve  been to a Turkey there’s a massive difference in the reply’s you get.

If it’s a clinic they recommend there’s plenty compliments and I’d say my results so far are as good as any.

5 month update 

Hi all.. although it’s only 2 weeks since I started this thread at 4.5 months I’m uploading my latest pictures as it’s exactly 5 months since my ht.

A little reminder.... had 2800 fue grafts at Dr Cinik’s on the front 3rd of my head.

I take 1mg/day fin (started 4 weeks after op) and a few supplements...

biotin, omega 3, collagen and a multi vitamin daily.

The first picture is straight after a shower with wet hair and the last one is a picture of me last year before my ht. 
The others pictures I’ve just taken with gel on.

Yeah I done my research, I noticed many clinic reviews where the same, not only mine.

My favorite comment from these fake reviews are, "I just had my procedure yesterday and I love the results!" Ummm, dude... you had the procedure yesterday, there are no results. 

Yes you are so right...

my clinic tried to get me to do an online review the day after my surgery which I declined.

I waited 3 months, even then I only reviewed the clinic and not results 

Just looked through your whole thread.... progressing well

todays pictures are impressive.. amazing difference from day one

Thanks ciaus... understood 👍🏻

Quite a difference in price tho

Hi I also use Dr Fox for ordering finasteride 1mg tablets , I’ve been using for 3.5 months... what is the difference between generic fin (which I’ve got) and propecia ?

thanks in advance 

Desperate mate, then it will look even better hopefully 

although my mate has been shaving the back and sides to keep it tidy

Thanks curious 

4 weeks after they op I started finasteride, so been on that 3 and a half months with no issues 🤞🏻
 

I also take supplements/vitamins 

biotin, omega 3 fish oil, collagen and a multi vitamin ... daily

👍🏻Cheers John

Great to hear you think that already Wolf, hope it continues... as I’ve said I’m happy with my choice of clinic

Many thanks... I’ll keep posting updated photos 

Thanks lads...

yeah Dr cinik opened up my channels 

Yeah I understand that, but like you say hopefully I won’t need it.

They may be hair mills but after researching many places I found there results on par with many top clinics around the world. And I am very happy with my choice and results so far.

Thanks egy.. no I didn’t ask that question but I received a 10 year guarantee certificate, which I doubt it’s even worth the paper it’s printed on.

let’s hope I don’t need to find out
