I don’t really see the point of having a transplant when I’m 40. I’m just trying to have hair until I’m married – in my culture, it’s seen as totally normal to lose all your hair after marriage but it’s taboo to be bald before then. 

That’s fascinating. 

Will you get to meet up with them @Melvin- Moderator or is it too far from where you live?

Years of inbreeding doesn’t help. 

Would you consider maybe getting your crown or front done first and then saving up for the other mate?  It’s probably a good option as then you can spend your whole budget just on one area, with a decent doctor. Get yourself on Finasteride to stop and further loss too. I’d also consider getting a quote from someone who you might not be able to afford, such as Dr Bisanga/Dr Sethi, just so they can give you an honest opinion and help manage expectations. Hair mills will tell you whatever you want to hear, but that’s not always going to be the truth. 

Amazing result. 

Hair loss can be a daunting thing for a lot of men. Trying to hide it for years, then getting a HT will make someone feel insecure, because men are expected to be a certain way, act a certain way, look a certain way. It’s just the way society is. Men will take the piss out of each other for the slightest thing, whereas women tend to support each other (then just talk about each other behind their backs 😂). I always felt insecure about my hair loss, but once I decided I needed a HT, I just embraced it and told whoever wanted to know, and some people who didn’t. My wife has a friend who had a boob job. She got nothing but support and compliments from all of her friends about it. Unfortunately men tend not to be like that. However, I’ve noticed that since I had my HT, my friends have actually started complimenting it, rather than ripping me to shreds about it. 

Left side is really thickening up now. I’m sure the rest will start catching up in the coming months.

I think it looks good Marko!! 

I’m following your top up procedure mate, as the doc said that that could be a possibility to add some density. 

Thanks fellas. Not sure why the photos are upside down 🤷‍♂️😂

12 months update. Here’s a couple of recent photos. I’ve used my daughter’s hair band to put the front back. There’s still a lack of density, especially on the left, but I can hide that by combing it in certain ways. However, I used to use coming tricks to hide my balding sections before my HT, so wasn’t expecting to have to carry on doing that following my HT also. The doctor said the crown can take up to 18 months to mature, so I’m hoping that they will still fill out a bit more. 

Be careful when booking. There are some clinics claiming to be in the UK for £1999 but they aren’t. Their adverts are all over Facebook. 

Looking really full now mate. 

Feel free to check out my thread on here from my HT with Dr Arshad. Here is a picture from the weekend, together with my pre-op picture. I was quite drunk at this point, so apologies for the pic 😃. 

Looking at your pre and post HT picture, this is a great result. Nobody passing you in the street or in a pub, etc, would even think you’d had a HT. 

Definitely growing well mate. Looking fuller than last month.

Thanks buddy!! My band is called the floating greyhound, we are just a covers band no original. I’m to old to try and make it big lol 

You and me both mate. My band does our own stuff as well as covers, but original gigs are few and far between. I’ve just liked your band on Facebook 👍🏻

You’ll be sweeping your fringe out of your eyes in no time mate. What’s your band called by the way?

Here is a picture I’ve just seen on David Beckhams Instagram and you can see his hair looks very see through at the front, Lighting plays a big part on what hair looks like

 

You can definitely see that he’s had work done On that photo.

Agreed, the crown is looking good 👍🏽 Lol just looking at the Easter eggs … 🤣

That’s the closest I got them. Bloody kids ate them all 😂

Looking better with each passing month. 

Very pleased with how the crown is shaping up.

@Marko7t4

Hair Transplants will never be perfect, there will always be weaknesses. I think your hair looks DAMN good. You should be very happy. 

I definitely agree with you @Melvin- Moderator that it looks good. My only issue is the lack of density. I learned to be a master manipulator of my hair to hide my hair loss many years ago, as I’m sure a lot of people on this forum did. Here is a picture with my hair back, and then my hair messed up. When messed up, I think you’d struggle to tell that I’d had a HT, but the lack of density is pretty evident. I’ve got every faith that the Dr will address this for me in time, but I’ve seen many pictures on the forum of people with their hair combed up and the density is fantastic. If I had my hair combed up, it would look like my hair is thinning quite badly in the areas where I had a HT. 

Just short of 11 months. Density still isn’t as full as expected when hair is combed up, especially on the left, but when combed like this, with a bit of gel, then I think it looks pretty good. 

Looking good mate. 

Not matter what it is you’re buying, If you pay cheap you usually end up paying twice.
