10 days post surgery, scabs have fallen off, shedding hasn’t started yet. Will post again once shedding ends. Overall, everything great so far, finished the daily cleanings yesterday and flying back to LA today. Coming back in early July, near the 3 month mark, for a check up with the Dr and free PRP session included with the transplant. How’s it looking?

Thanks! Hope it turns out great. Where have you seen her? Haven't seen much of an online presence other than Instagram.

Yes will keep this thread updated. How can you tell? Attaching pic of my donor below before the latest 3500 grafts were extracted from it. Let’s see how my donor is looking in some months.

First two transplants were less than 1500 each not completely sure how much. I thought with these and finasteride I wasn’t gonna need any transplants in the future but that wasn’t the case. If it weren’t for fin and the previous transplants, think I would be completely bald right now. https://instagram.com/yeimyalvarezmedical?igshid=1a2udbtkrth6n Ig of the doctor Glad to hear . Yeah I think I’ll eventually have to go in for another FUE, not sure how much I have left but the doctor said I could even do 2 more FUEs down the line if needed. She suggested me to get on oral min and switch from fin to Dut since I’ve been taking fin for a decade already. Let’s see how I’m looking a year from now.

Some background: Started losing my hair aggressively at 16 had 2 small FUT procedures 12 years ago, one at 17 and one at 18 (I know it wasn't the right choice, but i was desperate at the time and my father didn't know better and wanted to do what was best for me, Dr. didn't help much either since he suggested transplant before starting any medication). After growing older and researching more, have been taking finasteride for 10 years currently 29 and has slowed down my hair loss a lot althuogh was losing ground. Will think about switching to Dutasteride or adding Oral Minoxidil. I used to always hide my hair loss by keeping it long and with a combover but whenever it got wet or some wind moved my hair, significant balding could be seen. After being highly recommended, I decided to get an FUE procedure with Dr. Yeimy Alvarez at my hometown Barranquilla, Colombia. I'm currently living in LA where the same procedure would have cost around 5-6 times as much. The whole process was great, I opted out of general anesthesia so the only pain really was the local anesthesia which wasn't that bad. 3528 grafts were implanted, the hairline was filled with single hair grafts and with more hairs behind it. I thought more of my head was going to be covered but guess I had a lot of balding in the front which was my main concern either ways as can be seen in the wet pics. Will try to get some regrowth behind the transplanted area with oral min. I had PRP the day of the surgery and the package includes 3 more sessions in the next months. I've been going daily for cleanings, laser cap for healing and injections. Overall it has been a great experience and can't wait for the growing to start. Wet pre ht Dry pics pre ht

Thanks for the comments Melvin! I'm still confused about the frontal third, is that everything but the crown?

I'm in the US right now. She is a great doctor and even more expensive than the usual Turkey procedure.

Frontal third is everything but the crown? I think I'm going to do it with Dr. Alvarez in Colombia since I'm from Colombia

I've been quoted from 2500-3500 without touching the crown area although not sure how dense that would be.

Don't remember the details it was a long time ago and i was young but probably less than 3000 amongst the 2 procedures. Attaching donor area pics.

Attaching wet and dry hair pics. Thanks for the help!
