ThinningIndian

I know you're worried @Stewie but this is looking class and will be amazing in a few months time!

I would say meds are very important.

Just my personal experience but i was on Dutasteride and Oral Minoxidil before my HT and also following it and my hair was INCREDIBLE. I have stopped taking meds for 3 months and I can see really stark gaps and thinness again.

I was always told by Eugenix to just take 'multivitamins' and they weren't encouraging of oral minoxidil when I went there. Now when I have told them this by text message they have told me that I should always have been on Fin and Oral Min!

My fault I guess but hopefully if I get on it now again it'll come back...I hope...

I saw massive changes with oral minoxidil. Dutasteride on the other hand was the worst thing I have ever done. Depressed, loss of libido etc

Any updates @garcimore75?

At some point your hair will start getting into its natural shedding cycle, so if the hair you're shedding is definitely transplanted hair then it's probably that. I notice myself that I go through periods of seeing more hair in my hand in the shower and other periods where there's no apparent shedding.

Are you sure it's not native hair? Appreciate you're on Dut & Min but that doesn't guarantee you won't experience some or occasional hair loss/shedding.

Hey @Berba11 - I have no idea how to tell if it is native or transplanted as my hair is a lot thicker and so it's hard to tell. I think it is transplanted as it is in the areas that I was very thin anyway so the numbers of native hairs I had left was so small

Hey @Stewie - looking amazing for 8 months!

I am also about 8 months from Eugenix and wondering have you noticed something that I have? If I run my hand through my hair especially when wet, I see at least 8-10 hairs each time. I'm on oral minoxidil and Dutasteride so I don't want to believe it's shedding and maybe I have so much more hair that this is normal but I can't help get a bit worried.

Have you seen anything similar?

Damnnnn bro looks amazing! Well done!

Lol oops sorry I forgot to attach the photos! See below!

7 months update 

Lot of people have commented that my hair has grown a lot and some probably know it's a transplant but a lot probably don't think that straight away.

I don't know how much grow is left. They say it is 70% but who knows. It looks good enough and even though it is thin in the light I don't think I'd ever go for a top-up now. 

Any feedback would be great!

Hi guys

Was just looking through old photos and saw the difference. It's insane. This is October 2022 Vs today.

I'm on 5mg oral min everyday (but forget to do weekends) and 0.5mg dutasteride once a week.

Honestly it's looking good dude! I have the same issue that it looks great in natural light from the front but from the top you can see the reality behind the illusion. Plenty of time for more growth and hope the oral min works for you as I've def seen a big difference with it even before the HT

Hi guys thought I'd post an update

These photos are just over 5 months since I had my op. My hair is much thicker and looks solid from the front even though it is quite bare when you look at the top. Been getting so many compliments from people about my hair who don't even know I had an op and genuinely feel and look 6-7 years younger already!

Can still feel so many short hairs growing so am optimistic for the future!

Any feedback would be great 😃

You will trust me. My hair is crazy thick now and it's only been 5 months!

committed to a 6 month supply of oral minoxidil finally, so ill start that soon and see if it helps, hard work getting it in the UK and not as cheap as other countries atm

Its not cheap but it's Def worth it. It's done miracles for my hair!

I'm not in the mood for an update. Will update when I feel like.

Sorry to hear you're still unhappy about this mate. I was thinking about you as I am just about 5 months now and I'm actually largely happy with it and wondered how you were getting along. Hope everything is ok.

Difference is visible… awesome!!

 

Whats your thoughts on the implaten temple area? Have they grown/ growing?

Hey man thanks! 

The temples are very subtle so I'm not sure to be honest but I'm reserving judgement until much later as I think it looks better 

Hi everyone

Just a quick update at 4 months! It's definitely changed from the last month and it looks so much thicker from the front! I know the sides are a bit thin but I have faith that it'll come back. I am amazed by the donor which looks thick as ever and even feels it! Excited to see what comes in the next month!

Let me know what you think!

Bro!!! I know the most important thing is how you feel about it but the front and back looks epic as does the right temple! What about the left side don't you like as I can't see it? 

I coloured my hair for a wedding function last week and it makes it look like i've got a mop of hair on my head. I know it'll only last til next week but it's a massive boost to know what it could look like with more density!

Looking really good though for 5 months I think!

Thanks @aaalan! It is definitely looking better each week and it's amazing to just see my face framed again - genuinely didn't think I would see that again!

I also got a breakdown of my grafts by Eugenix and the high number of triples and quads keeps be hopeful for some good density!

Singles: 384

Doubles: 2466

Triples: 1520

Quadruples: 416

Total of 11540 hairs!

What did you look like pre-HT?

Here's to more updating - this is 13 weeks.

I didn't notice the sides of my head with the shock loss but hopefully that will go at some point. Hair feels less wispy and still feel loads of short stubbly hairs so fingers crossed!

Thanks @Gatsby really appreciate it!

Just as an additional info - I am on 0.5mg DUT and 2.5mg Loniten (oral min) every day. Definitely think that is helping me as I responded well to them pre-HT too!

Hi @sekiro109 - I just asked them and they said it was 4785 grafts.

I'm a bit disappointed that no one is really giving any feedback on this. I know it's not as transformational as some of the NW6 and NW7 cases with Eugenix but it would have been nice to hear from @general-etwan, @Stewie, @Gatsby or other Eugenix people!

Just to add that I can feel a lot of short hairs still that haven't come to life and where there were smooth patches before I can definitely see some hairs coming through now!

As rational as I am when looking at other people's pictures when I look at mine at the moment I do get a bit nervous and scared that it won't look as amazing as some people on here.

Also last thing to say is that I had 4,350 grafts - they initially calculated 5200 or so but they did less as they said I didn't need it though not sure about that.

Maybe it wasn't enough

It's alright in favorable lighting like indoors or in evening but as soon as light falls on the hair or out day time in the sun, it is terrible.

How about yourself?

I just saw your photo and I think it looks good for this amount of time!

I just posted my progress now as kept putting it off for months but I am at month 3 now so any words from you will be really appreciated!
