  1. Pics post haircut today 3.20.22. I wanted to check how a skin shade would look, and even though it doesn't look that horrible with the FUE scars, I'll likely not go skin again (maybe 0.5/1) All in all, I'm finally noticing some improvements and it's super exciting. Hitting the 5 months mark, so I guess things get even more exciting from here Left side still has some growing, and hopefully the crown!
  2. Strongly recommend them! That said, no one has given any feedback on how it looks for 4 months, so I'm getting a little nervous, haha!
  3. 4.5 months later (taken today, 3/1/2022) - Would love to hear your thoughts. Idk why I feel it's slow? Have been on 0.5 mg dutasteride a day since October. Will start Rogaine soon, and also got approved for hasson's trial of topical finasteride 2.5%
  4. Hey All, It's been a long time waiting to write my experience, and I did try documenting the 'weekly / monthly' growth, and quickly realised I was going paranoid, so I decided to wait longer until I had more to share (also cause work/life got very busy) In any case, this is a continuation of this thread: Thanks again to everyone who helped throughout the journey. I follow this forum daily and it's always encouraging, so, hope this update helps you, and ofc, I'd love to hear everyone's feedback on how things are going! So, here we go: Surgery Days: October 12th (09:00 am - 07:30 pm) & October 13th 2021 (8:00 am - 06:30 pm) with Dr. Hasson and his team. FUE. Day 1: Arrive and debrief. Due to it being a holiday/covid, I did not have a chance to have the consultation before, and thus, I arrived earlier to discuss the final output/desires. From there, extractions begun. Dr delineated the hairline, his staff did the work, he came back to do the punching/incisions, staff takes back to implant. He checks often (every other hour or so). Day 2: Pretty much a repeat of the same day, minus the consultation. I saw Dr. Hasson less this day, but he was still coming in to check. Staff again, beyond incredible. Swelling started to show. All in all, I cannot stress enough how amazing his entire team was. I don't have words to describe how incredible the doctor himself along with all his staff were. Truly worth every penny from that perspective. Overall Grafts: Day 1: Day 2: The last 4.5 months in a nutshell: Month 1: lots of swelling the first 14-15 days, i legit looked like an alien breed of sorts. hair shed around week 3-4 Month 2-4: I shaved everything cause i noticed it looked pretty funny uneven, last shave was for NYE, so there's about 3 months worth of growth. Pics below, I'd truly love your opinion. I feel like I see some progress, but slower than I imagined? dunno, any thoughts very welcome! Before Surgery Pics: DAY OF SURGERY PICS RESULTS:
  5. Was researching the topic and found this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7871530/
  6. We talked about 'needing more in the future', and he said as long as I keep the medication I wouldn't need much, but, I have about 5k or so if I wanted to try something again in the future (which hopefully won't be needed or they'll have figured out a permanent wig by then haha)
  7. I also did a search for 'cracks and pathways' and yup, they seem normal
  8. Hi Everyone, I'll be making a 'journey post' once I get the official pics from the clinic on Monday, with way more details etc. tl;dr: 4.500, 3500ish front and 1000ish crown, Staff and doctor are from another world. Surgey was 10/12 and 10/13, just got back home to the U.S yesterday. Here are some initial pics from my professional fingers hehe . Already a question, seeing some 'little gaps' as crusts starts to form, today is that normal? (I've read before so, but you know, paranoia and all) Airplane yesterday, 10/15 Home, 10/16 Td airplane, 10/15 - crown Home, 10/16 Home, 10/16 - donor
  9. You're just jealous of my true, Picasso-level work 😁
  10. Quick update: after lots of more research and conversations, going with Hasson for a FUE, 4000-4500 (about 3k front and 1-1.5k crown). P.s: FUT was discussed, but the more I learned the more I wasn't sure I wanted to actually go with FUT.. I don't feel like I have a good (what's it called, elasticity??) but also cause having the incision etc has always terrified me.. that plus the fact I'll be flying in, and I am not sure I wanted to deal with it for 6+ hours. The reason why I considered FUT with Bloxham was mainly because he's just a few hours drive, so the idea terrified me less Doing it October 12th and 13th, so pretty soon . I'll document it, assuming the forum benefits from it!
  11. Thank you so much! Thank you! H&W actually recommended to go with FUE, but they did say I could pick FUT and would still be happpy. I'm getting mixed responses from doctors here.. some are saying to stop 2 months or so prior, and others are not
  12. Yes, I've been chatting with him and he seems like a great guy! but, did propose two sessions to focus on the crown later. You mean FUT strip? they recommended FUE for my situation (but told me I could choose FUT if I'm so inclined), FUT would bring the cost per graft to about 5 dollars. I stopped for no reason honestly, had no side effects or anything, but I had to keep commuting to this particular doctor to renew the RX, and it got difficult due to my work schedule, up to a point where 5 years later and I haven't renewed yet, haha! That said, now that I need to stop taking for the surgery anyway, I'm waiting in case I do go with Bloxham, since he has October available
  13. I'm with you, I'd prefer it all done in one session too, which is why HLC is attractive, and even Hasson. HLC requested I stayed there for 6 days.. 4 days of surgery + 1 or two post op
