What is realistic?? My expectations

It does give me hope the crown will fill in looking at this photo. There seemed to be a lot more coverage. Hopefully I'm just waiting on these follicles 🤞🤞 -

So experience with Vertex. Honestly lovely people from Dr barghouthi himself but also the receptionist and technicians. The consultation or when you speak with Dr barghouthi is a conversation so really puts you at ease. Wether its a busy day or with the time difference I don't think I've never waited more than a few hours for a reply. The results speak for themselves I had a huge area to cover and search the site you'll find even better results. Not knowing what to expect from Jordan I can say the hotel was top notch. All of this added up to I got a good feel from vertex and happy I followed my gut. Do I know the crown takes longer?yes Was I aware under less than ideal conditions it would look potentially like this? Yes Was it a huge ask to cover everything in one hit? Yes But I'm still a little gutted when I see the crown but would do it all over again it's strange how you always look for the weak points... But ask me again when I've given it time hahaha. Probably say I don't even notice things -

Honestly I couldn't recommend him enough buns as for the update. Fresh out of the shower so still a little damp. But looks perfect except the crown.(which I think says a lot when not bone dry) the camera with flash can pick up imperfections more, but I think anyone having a transplant knows this too. Obviously it takes longer for the crown so I'm waiting until early next year then re-evaluating. Hopefully it grows but failing all else maybe light SMP?? Treatment is 1mg finasteride daily(couple of days missed here and there. But not many, I won't lie) Minoxidil daily on a work day, 2 times daily, on day off. Microneedling pen broke, so haven't done that for a couple of months. Buying a new one on payday. Also be reintroducing retinoid along with this as it seemed to all synergise and give best results last time🤞🤞🤞. (Even if it didn't worth the few £ a week for piece of mind I'm doing everything I can) -

Update 1)the good....dry looks a load better! Still some weakness in the centre but can't really tell. 2) the bad.....fresh out the shower and with flash at its worse. 3) reason to be optimistic.... what's falling out naturally as I brush my hair Vs what I plucked from the side. So still potential to add a lot of density (*disclaimer* yes I know a Vernier isn't the perfect tool but best I had) -

@Ryan Daniel ohh yeah really oily. That has retinol oil in. (always do it before I add Minoxidil). Or normally grease from my hands from working in sheet metal. But I just take pictures as is. Not go to find the right lighting/freshly washed etc... So you get a better day to day view As for the cut, I was just leaving it to go curly. Then going to neaten it up a little. Why what would you suggest?? -

Yeah the final day with Dr barghouthi, was the 30th December, so basically say new years. Honest @J.A.C I'd recommend @DrTBarghouthi to anyone any day of the week. The results are actually more rounded at the front, then they appear in some photos. Obviously the front forelock is longer, but I'm just happy to leave everything growing as is for now. -
