Thanks bro, your looks even better! I live in Bosnia, smallish country on Balkan.

Hey guys, fun times ahead! 5 MONTHS post OPI think difference going from month 4 to month 5 was big but now I expect also much more thickening of the hairs and multiple hair grafts sprouting cause I had quite lots of them.I have also received pre op and post op photos from my doctor and OMG.. I couldn't actually believe how much hair was gone already, I really didnt notice it at the times. And just 5 months after I have very natural hairline already and my front is looking very good right now.So here are some pre OP photos :Post OP (I just see now how clean the work was) :AAAAND 5 MONTHS :I really dont have much to say except that im overly happy and satisfied with the results so far, it can only get better from now on!Also I tried really short fade (I think it was 0.5mm) and it really isnt so easy to spot for an untrained eye. Im glad that I can wear shorter haircuts on sides because thats how I prefer it to be.If you guys want some more additional pictures, or request some additional angle let me know.

Thanks guys, very encouraging to hear all these nice words for sure!

Hey boys ,4 Months update here !Got some great growth from month 3 to month 4, probably more than I expected which is great. I dont have anything really happening to my hair besides growth so not really much to say. My left side is lacking a little bit compared to right side but really at this point I have no rights to worry about it, next 2-3 months are really when the hair starts sprouting at insane rate. Let me know what you think!

Hey everyone, today marks 3 months post OP.. Not much different compared to what it looked like at 2 months in but for sure some more growth. My recipient is very itchy at times which is a good sign, hairs are poppin through the skin. I think I can say I have some early growth? You guys can say . Anyways here are some pictures.

Nah I kept some, maybe 5-10% ? Maybe even less not sure.. I was scrolling through the thread and I have noticed that I dont really have many closeup hairline photos that could be used in future for comparison.Here are some indoors and outdoors shots

When i first saw the post OP pictures I was like oh I see where the problem is, there is just too low number of grafts. However after seeing the growth I would say you have got above average results with the amount of grafts used, doesnt look bad at all! Also I dont even think that u had 3k grafts, my estimate would be 2000-2500.

Hey everyone, today marks 2 MONTHS POST OP So far so good ; redness is almost gone, pimples are gone, hair has stopped shedding and I dont feel like I'm in the ugly duckling phase at all. Might have to do with me having a bit of my native hair already but now I cant wait to start getting growth. I have kept probably 15-20% of transplanted hairs which is fine. I dont have much to say so if you guys have some questions feel free to ask!

Yeah, how are you doing? Is it same progress so far? I had my first haircut today boys and I think it looks amazing, I asked barber to go with slightly bigger guard and it was 3mm, next time I will try 2.5 to see if there is any difference. My donor looks completely healed and no scarring is visible, no thin spots aswell. Havent touched top of the hair at all. Also third pic. doesnt want to rotate for some reason haha.

Hey mate, what fascinated me is we have almost identical hairloss pattern/head shape and even our doctors picked kinda similiar hairline (u can see my thread). Hoping to have results atleast close to yours!

1 Month updateSo its been 1 month already and things seem to be on the right track. Unfortunately I was not the soldier of fortune and truth be told I'm glad that I'm having the shock loss cause that means im 100% on the right way. It doesnt seem that bad at all in person but im still having some shedding even tho it has slowed down significantly.Only issue so far has been few pimples here and there at recipient area but I dont touch them and they just dissapear on their own. Also I started to have some itching on recipient aswell few days ago.Donor is already back to what it looked before and can't wait to see what it looks like after I trim my hair. Area under the crown that seemed to be hit by the shock loss is improving a lot, its probably going to heal fully in next 1-2 months. Doctor said that its not over-harvesting 100% and that its definitely shock loss. I have one question, seems like I have some dead/shedded hair that really stick to my scalp for some reason, even if i try to like pick them off the scalp they just wont move on. Doctor advised me to try and rub harder during shower and he said that its not really good for these hairs to stick around on the scalp and they are probably the reason for some pimples. Can i try gently rubbing my scalp with wash cloth? Also throwback to some of my old pictures to see how it used to look, just so we can use them as a comparison later heheHave a great weekend everyone!

Thanks, maybe I'm one of the few lucky ones that dont shed all the hairs? We will see this week what happens haha

Hi guys, thanks for all the feedback so far.Im doing good and I have entered the 'prepare for the shed' phase even tho I see hairs falling out regularily when washing my hair, lets see how it rolls out.Regarding the donor zone I think I might have just a little bit of a shock-loss right under the crown, but it might also be illusion cause doctor didnt shave my crown at all so the hairs there are quite a bit longer. Anyhow I think donor is healing really well too.So I'll leave some pics as usual, some hairline close-ups this time, let me know what you guys think. To me it looks really clean and dense, a lot of singles in the hairline. Excuse my salt-peppery hair (yes I know im 26 only) , I will probably dye it down the road to change my appearance a bit, who knows how it turns out Feel free to ask any questions!14 days post OP

It looks very red because of the flash light of my phone, without the flashlight it looks okayish, still red but in normal range but my skin is usually quite sensitive so I would say my scalp is going to remain sensitive aswell, might have long period of redness but its okay with me as long as the transplant is good

Hey mate thanks for the comment. I would say i still had decent forelock/frontal third (main problem was mid scalp which was quite thinning or in process of it). I will post now a picture when the scabs are almost completely gone, let me know what u think of it now Hey mate, yes ofcourse still on Fin (1.25 mg every other day). Ive had some testicle pain for the first few days and after that all good luckily. I never tried minoxidil only because its kinda annoying to me that I have to put it on head every day and I can't stop it ever if i want it to be working, maybe I will try oral one day when theres more people sharing their experiences about it. Anyhow day 11 post OP scabs are almost completely gone and here are some pics, let me know if looks good/dense for the number of grafts I've had. What about the hairline, looks good? To me it looks really decent, especially the details (I will attach some close ups later on too). One part is making me bit nervous, its the the part right above the hairline in the middle (looks a bit thin compared to rest of the hair and its also right above the hairline) but im probably being too picky/over analyzing things just for the sake of it We all probably went through that phase hehe. Attaching some of the temporal work too (had 50~ singles placed in both sides, mostly just to shape temporal peaks a little bit) . Also my donor has completely healed but my GF forgot to take pics of it today so I will have it on the next update.
