I can’t tell if the hairline is dense in the lighting lol, is the hairline dense in person?
I kinda tried to make photos in a good and natural lighting. I guess it looks dense? Let's call it subjectively dense 🤗

Hello guys,
Sorry for lack of update. Whenever you want to ask me something, please tag me, so I can see an email prompt.
The results are natural af. My friends didn't even notice that I have had a hair transplant - I only get comments that my hair got so much thicker.Since I have quite a big forehead, I want to do a second HT in the future (if I'm sure that my hair loss is 100% stabilized - for now it looks like it is). But it looks great for now.

Sorry guys, I was super busy lately.
I looked the worst at about 2-3 months post op. After about 3 months I started to notice new hairs sprouting, but it was still very thin and weak. Each week I'm seeing some improvement - it is a slow process for me. Feel free to ask any questions!Edit: my donor is pretty short right now. I just came back from hairdresser. My left side is filling much faster than the right side.

It took about 8 days.

Hello,
Firstly, I would like to thank you guys (especially @JDEE0) for sharing your precious knowledge. I wouldn't be able to choose an appriopriate surgeon without you. I'll try to "pay my debt" through sharing my own experience and my own knowledge regarding to hair transplants.
A brief background:
I'm 26 years old. I have been receding very slowly since I was about 19. Hair loss isn't very common in my family, so hopefully I will maintain the rest of my hair. I'm on min/fin combo for 1 year already and of course I'm willing to continue with these medications.
I narrowed down my hair transplant surgeons research to Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Bicer and of course Dr. Bruno Pinto. I finally chose Dr. Pinto, I just felt some sort of a very good vibe from his clinic, also his coordinator Emilio is super cool.
Surgery day: Dr. Bruno is a super nice guy. I have spent whole day with him. I kinda felt like I was visiting my uncle that I haven't seen for a long time - I even forgot that I'm on my life-changing surgery 😀. Nurses were also very nice.
It turned out that my hair thickness is average for a slav guy. My donor count is approximately 6000-8000 grafts. My hair/graft ratio is 2.4. I've been told that my crown is okay for now, no miniatiurization. Only mild maturization in my frontal area.
I don't have good photos right after surgery (Dr. Bruno has them), so my starting point of sharing pictures will be day 5 post OP.
First 4 photos are pre-op.
Next 2 photos are 5 days post OP.
Next 2 photos are 8 days post OP.
Last photo of top of my head is 9 days post OP.
I'm having a mild shock loss on top of my head, which is quite normal. Hopefully it will all regrow soon.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them.

Thank you for your answer @Raphael84. I'm currently on oral minoxidil and finasteride and over the last 2/3 years I feel like I perfectly maintained what I had.
QuoteYour crown could have quite easily always been this way.
I kinda feel like it might be true. I didnt't really see a progressive alopecia over last few years. Hopefully it won't accelerate.

Doing the math, you are looking at the 1.5 euro/graft range. That's the danger zone in Turkey. The only one I could recommend is FueCapilar (Dr. Turan or Dr. Gur).
What about Bicer?

Yeh, agreed. Anyone?

Thank you for your answers guys 😊

Hello everyone!
For the past few months I have been reading alot about surgeons.
My final decision falls between Dr. Bruno Pinto and Dr. Bicer.
It's super hard for me to decide, that's why i started this topic. Can you guys help me choosing between them? -
Ohh, I forgot to mention that I have already visited two doctors in my country and they both told me that I have got great donor and I'm a great candidate. But before undergoing any procedure, I wanted to ask you guys, since you are the real experts 😅
-
Thank you so much for your answer.
I have provided some pictures. My scalp is only visible in a bright light, when my hair is pointed upwards.In the hair transplant procedure I would love to fill my receding hairline and frontal scalp a lil bit.
I'm not losing too much hair, I would even say that I have had same hair since few years.
Is it safe in my case to undergo hair transplant or is it hard to say?

Hello,
I have been reading alot about the potential permanent shock loss of miniaturized hair after hair transplant. I have also read that the younger you are - the greater chance of permanent shock loss. Regarding to that information, I got three questions:
1) How common is shock loss?
2) For how long should you take finasteride before hair transplant?
3) Is 25/6 years old too young for HT? (I'm about NW 2/3)
Thank you in advance!

Those are almost certain to be a high Norwood, or if you are also a diffuse thinner.
That is super interesting. I could call myself a diffuse thinner (I'm 25 years old). But I always had thin hair there (inherited from my mom - she also has thin hair). But everywhere else I got thick hair. I wouldn't call every diffuse thinner to end up with high Norwood or maybe I'm just still too young, but as I already mentioned - I guess that I have same here since I was 20/21.
Just my 2 cents (picture attached below).

Thank you so much for fast responses 😄
QuoteI imagine you’re in Europe
Yes, I'm from Poland.
I know it might be a silly question or quite hard to answer, but between those 3 surgeons, which one would you guys pick: Dr. Bicer, Dr.Feriduni, Dr. Freitas?

Hello everyone!
Firstly, I would like to point out that I'm so glad that I found this forum 😊
I've been lurking for quite a while here and read ton of posts. I finally decided to create my own topic and ask you guys for some advices.
About me:I'm 25 years old (soon 26). Since I was 20 years old I have been told by that my hair is thin and that I'm balding. I just kept ignoring it and my hair didn't change at all or atleast it didn't change too much (I think so, not sure though). I had thin hair since I remember.
Family history:
My dad is 61 and still has nice hair. I got same receding hairline like him and have been told by hairdresser that we got pretty alike hair, but I doubt it. He has thick black/grey hair and he started seeing grey hair when he was about 20. My maternal grandfather always had nice hair. My mom and my maternal grandmother both have thin hair. I got very similiar hair to my mom. So my guess is that I inherited hair from my mom.
Medicaments/disorders:
Half year ago I went to the best trychologist in my country (atleast from my research it turned out that she was the best). I was diagnosed with male pattern baldness and got prescribed oral minox and 1mg fin. In my opinion my hair didn't change too much on fin, but when I visited hair last week, I have been told that she can see some improvement and told me to keep taking those meds. I also have been told that I'm Norwood 1 and my baldness pattern is more alike to female pattern baldness (which kind of confirms my theory that I inherited my mom's hair).
I also got high TSH levels.
Photos/hair:
I have attached all photos below. My balding pattern is best visible in good light (photo: top scalp1).
Questions:
Firstly, apologizes for prolonged introduction. I wanted to give you guys as much information as I could. Now finally getting to meritum:
I'm planning to get hair transplant in december/january. My top 1 surgeon is Dr. Bicer. I was also thinking about Dr.Feriduni. Of course I'm still open to other surgeons options. Can you guys advice me which surgeon would be better for my balding pattern? I have seen alike cases like mine with Dr. Bicer.
I would love to get rid of my receding hairline and thicken my frontal scalp. Also, how many grafts would I need in your opinions?
Best regards and thank you so much for potential responses in advance.

@Big Rome especially for you, I tried to make as "in person" photos as possible, including the best possible lighting, with hair just after waking up 😃.
