@Stewie so true , but should we not take it to preserve the new transplanted hair ? Incase the dihitestosterone eats it up again ?

Again it depends on what your views are on that, if your hair is never going to change, ie your baldness not progress then there is no need, but then thats the problem in one fact in that I suppose none of us really know, but then also we dont really know if FIN is actually that effective from one person to the next, I think in most cases it would slow down the DHT progress, but its mad how some people respond so well and reverse hair loss sometimes

Part of me thinks should I start it again, and a big part thinks no, like I said after 2+ years I had no sides but no positives either

Totally agree, at six months I had alright growth and really month 9 onwards was best for me up till 12 months just recently

This is a great result, so so so much better, looks lovely and natural, and tbh even the thinning on the sides is fine, nothing looks bad about it, I hope its got your mind in a better place from the last surgery, I feel for you mate going through that, I have been there in my teens and its not good on your mind, I am so glad you got it sorted and looking so good now

@Stewie your a legend mate, rest up my friend... sorry didn't meant to bug you that quick after surgery hope all goes amazing .... yeah same I don't wanna take fin... ill just say I will also lol

hahaha its no problem at all, it just would not be the best pic atm as all the hair has been shaved to the bone and then just red from injections, extractions and implants  should be fine in a few days I reckon

yeah meds are obviously a totally personal choice, I get no sides from them so I am lucky in that sense, but also saw no benefit so then it begs the question of whats the point? I think with FIN, if you have hair to save or maybe save, then maybe its a good investment in yourself on this journey of His, but for me the damage was done by 21/22 and it looked the same up until my first surgery a couple of years back, so really I don't see the point for me personally, but if your diffusing slowly etc then maybe there is hope to hang on to it for longer for sure, and who knows some people are super responders and grow hair back, that was my hope, but I think the baby hairs had forgot how to grow 26 years ago for me

@Stewiestill waiting for that buzz cut pic bro 😉 ... hey were eugenix a bit reluctant to take you as a patient seeing you didn't want to take finasteride or anything ? I've got an appt with Dr Arika Bansal on friday

Literally just come out of surgery, ill get one in the next day or so when its not oozing haha, gonna get some sleep. As for meds they won't not take you because your not on meds, but they really do like you to take FIN for your hair, I just told them I do so it made it easier, maybe I might start again, but as my hair as been the same since about 21 and now I am 46 and my dads is still the same at 64, I kind of don't see the point  

Looks mega that mate, the whirl, the short hair, looks super natural, love it!

I'm a bit envious of your result to be honest haha, but really happy for you. 

Just saw yours, nothing to be envious about, yours is amazing and nice and thick all over

@finchy thanks dude. I have been like that all the time of being on the forum. If I could only get a result like him or him. Bit weird being on this side with it coming out good this last year. Hoping this latest op will be the icing on the cake to finish it off nicely

I'm surprised your getting another procedure

But why not I guess

Youll have an incredible transformation 

Ha thanks. I keep getting told I don’t need it. But if I can why not. I just want it all as even as possible and then it will sit better with me

@Stewie make sure you chuck up a pic of your reset shave , can't wait to check out the density 

Will do 100%. I am from UK. Nearly moved to Sydney in 2016/17 and kind of sad I didn’t now ha

Ok cool. It looks like you’re using witchcraft and wizardry to be honest! 😅

hahahaha, I am just trying to figure out what works for my hair, I have tried quite a few things I have seen recommended on the forum, that dry shampoo makes it feel amazing for a short while but then a few hours later super super dry, so not bad maybe for some extra volume for a night out haha

tbh I am just trying to put up with it atm and not really doing much apart from styling it with my fingers in the morning when waking up as knowing I am going back next week I am looking forward to seeing whats what with a shave and a reset and start again

Oh thanks @Stewie yeah I've done alot of research on them I'm really impressed , I couldn't find a video on you tho mate , or I would have booked with them aloooong time ago if there was one with your results.

I am really against taking finasteride tho, I'm 37 nw5 maybe even 6 so it's stopped losing my hair anyway lol

I am not using Fin either, was on it for 2 years with no sides but also no benefits and just don't see the point in it unless you have hair to save  as for top results I mean this site is full of amazing NW6/7 results from Eugenix amongst other clinics. I have seen a small video of myself on the Eugenix YT channel, it was right after the surgery last time so not covering progress and results, not sure if I flew under the radar with them in that sense, which tbh is up my street as I am not one for the lime light hahaha

What are you using/doing to get your hair styled like that mate? Looks class.

Thanks dude, I am not using a lot really, I was using that dry shampoo on and off but use it very sparingly if maybe I want to conceal the thinner bits a little and darken up the greys as it really drys the hair out and then tried the powders a lot of people on here use but found they either made my hair super greasy or very tacky, so the only thing I am using now and again is sea salt spray and to tell you the truth just not washing it a lot, I find regular washing drys it out also and it tends to feel better and more manageable a couple of days after washing it

Thanks so much. Honestly beyond my wildest dreams ending up at this point  

Thanks guys!  @dba I can not recommend them enough and I think there is so many top notch results on here to look at which speaks volumes about their skills

@Broni thanks dude!

So it’s been 12 months since last surgery. I fly out next week for what should be the very last HT I ever have. To say I am happy with where the Eugenix team have got me in this surgery is an understatement. From slick bald most of my life to having hair again is a weird feeling and I know how blessed I am to be in this position. Hopefully next week will be the icing on the cake to sort out the bits that give me OCD. But I am one happy guy for sure!!!

Looks great, temples have definitely come in if you look at your pre op photos vs now, they are just lighter because of the thinner hairs used, and I agree with Ccd99 that above the ears looks a bit like retrograde alopecia that was there anyway, you have tons of hair left at the back if you ever wanted more density, and with that hair type you have got a great return on the amount of grafts!  

How is this looking now?

Both of them were in the hospital and would take turns to work on my head. They would also attend to other patients who were undergoing HT in other rooms. At times, neither of them would be in my room, but I would always be attended to by technicians. Hope that helps.

Similar to me, I mainly had Dr Soumesh and then Dr Arika did the hairline

1. Other doctors plan procedure in 5 minutes, Zarev makes long consultation with specific measurements which lasts 2 hours. It's not like he recklessly expands the donor area. He looks at every areas and estimates grafts/cm2 in this areas and other details of the hair, then he decides how much he can extract from every area. It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of time.

100 patients equals 200 hours for the consultations and within this times random clinic can perfrom ~ 25 procedures. 

 

2. Expanding from traditional safe zone is what i call "New School of HT". There are more doctors that take this new approach. First examples that come to my mind are dr. Pittella or dr. Ferreira. 

Can't agree more
