Small update, as mentioned in the previous post. Here is the results from a shorter haircut, I hope someone somewhere would find this thread helpful!

SMP is the better option for sure. The color fades but it doesn't CHANGE. Unlike regular tattoo ink, which turns blue and expands over time. Yes you may need to get a topup every few years but a topup is much cheaper than the initial cost. I think having an ACTUAL tattoo design behind your head might work but it's up to you if you'd want something like that (like a neck tattoo of thorns that has roses on the back of your head).

Month fifteen update! Hello everyone, thought to give a quick update regarding my hair transplant 15 months ago. I'd say these are the final results (combined with SMP). I'm due a haircut so I'll create a second post when that's done. 15 months post operation: (These are taken under various lighting circumstances)

I think @Melvin- Moderator bumped his head and dislodged a few grafts back in the day, it didn't visibly affect the final results of his procedure.

I don't suppose you have any pictures 4 years ago compared to now?

You still have plenty of time for this to recover! Hopefully it's mainly shockloss.

I also had a low density donor area. Was able to get over 3000 grafts though. My donor definitely looks thinner when the hair is shaven, however you can get SMP to hide those white scars.

Thanks for the conformation guys!

Case 7 & case 9 just look completely fake in that video if I'm honest. Thoughts?

Some of the results are rather bizarre if I'm honest. An example from that video would be someone got 1200 grafts to cover a huge area and it turned out incredibly dense.

Were any beard follicles used in the temples?

That's a huge area they've covered in one go, who was the doctor? The hairline has decent density.

Hi, I've noticed Dr Pradeep Sethi has taken a step back from hair transplants at Eugenix, now Dr Arika Bansal is handling procedures with their current packages. I was wondering if anyone has any examples of her work? They're difficult to find. Thanks! -Sean

It looks like an infected follicle? Perhaps someone with more experience could answer this.

This doctor is incredible but NEVER has availability.

Temporary. Your scalp is still healing and your nerves may be numbed also.

Was personally open about mine also. The more people make it the norm the less 'irregular' it will be. Men need to talk more about hair loss and the stresses it causes.

Dr. Yaman is said to be a decent choice. I personally went to 'Elithair' in Istanbul and I'm happy with the result, regardless of it being a 'hairmill' (feel free to check my log thread or youtube).

100%, if you're losing hair you're likely stressed or anxious as is.

Being honest your donor doesn't look too bad at one month. They did strangely go too far up each side but your recovery seems normal. It will look thinner for the first couple of months due to shock loss.

You should wait until the one year mark minimum, with any good transplant doctor they expect you to be on finasteride for a least a year before surgery. 5 months is too early to decide the effectiveness of finasteride.

Better safe than sorry. It would cost more to repair any issues than to have paid for a good doctor the first time round.

You should always save up more than you need. Anything could happen abroad.

Hi, I had some side effects before I even knew they existed. Lower libido was the primary one. But it's nothing life changing. I can still 'perform' when need be.

I went to a hair mill in Turkey called "Elithair" and am content with the results for the price (Something like 2400 Euro). They actually have German branches I believe German men are the main clients. It might be worth discussing a transplant with them but please be aware that it will be done by a tech team and if you went over you could have a completely different tech team than mine. But just know your donor is not infinite, and if you get a botched transplant then it would cost more to fix it than it would if you went to a good clinic the first time. Eugenix has high praise on this form for affordability and results.
