Id say the flash definitely exaggerates the pink, it doesn't look anywhere near as pink in real life so it doesn't bother me at all. I think it might be the case of lighting but I am not sure, il keep the thread updated on the redness as we go on in the journey. Goodluck in your journey man! You don't have anything to worry about

haha. Thanks man! Yours must be looking solid at this point is it your month 6? Yh it's not easy man! I feel ugly af . Thanks for the support

I would personally leave the colour as it is, it looks natural and it suits you. But you can always try it!

7 months is not early, the issue here is the planning and miscommunication. Hair is not going to grow where it was not implanted. I am not sure if buying a higher package would have yielded a better result if I am honest. Id expect some variation in skill between different packages but the planning process should be the same across all packages? Dw OP this isn't too much of a disaster, you have already responded well to a hair transplant the only downside is that you will have to go through this process again

1.5 Month Update I changed from 5mg oral minoxidil to 2.5mg oral minoxidil as I wasn't enjoying the puffiness I got near my eyes and forehead. Admittedly my diet hasn't been great and I have been binge eating so maybe that played a role but I have scaled back and that has eliminated the puffiness. I plan to go back up to 5mg in a couple of weeks again. I went for my first haircut today and the barber said I have many hair transplant customers but the extractions from the back are invisible and you cannot tell, this is the best work he had seen from the back. I was very pleased about that. Hopefully the front will also be at the same standard. I got a skin fade so you can see what's happening there, it's safe to say I should be able to continue to get skin fade in the future which I am very happy about I am deep into the ugly duckling phase. Wish I could press the skip button to month 4. I was wearing a hat hence why front hair is messy. What do you guys think?

You could try getting onto oral minoxidil or upping your finasteride dose. When it comes to treating MPB finasteride( and dutasteride) is king.

absolutely beautiful work man.

Yeah I know what you are talking about but I wouldn't worry about it now. You will get more of an Idea after your 2nd/3rd head wash, see how it is looking then. Also am not too sure on the science of scabs maybe someone else can chime in @Melvin- Moderator but the work looks good. How many grafts were put?

I wouldn't worry too much about your left side vs right side. The work looks homogenous across your donor area, My donor looks already recovered so far (touch wood). Yasmin was the one who did my extraction. Who did yours?

I think it's more so no scabs being there instead of 'missing chunks' of grafts. What day is this after surgery and do you have an immediate post op pic?

Have you got some more info on collagen production stopping? I definitely noticed the wrinkle around my eye was a bit more prounounced. Is it too much to ask for more hair whilst keeping my youthful skin lol

oral minoxidil has some really good before and after results and the medicine clearly works. It's still not as important as finasteride/dutasteride but its the next best thing. Have you tried alldaychemist? I am not sure if it will deliver to sweden but that is where I get it from and the medicine works because I had puffiness in my eyes for the first 15 days before my body has gotten more used to it now. How did your surgery go? I had mine with Dr Freitas just a month before you

Goodluck work looks good!

Hey man try using some Fibers that should sort this out. Your crown looks amazing do not listen into those shallow comments people like to have a laugh at others expense.

Hey man so I switched to oral minoxidil I think 2 weeks ago. I just went straight into 5mg and I definitely developed puffy and dark eyes (the puffiness I wasn’t sure if it was the hair transplant but as the days went by I knew it was the minoxidil) I have quite good skin so it was alarming to see the dark under eyes and people around me also told me u look like you have swelling. I thought Il stay on it to see if this changes and luckily in the last few days it has minimised. I would say keep it at for a couple of weeks to see if your body adjusts then you can make a decision accordingly. I know what you mean about being scared to drop it though it’s a tough decision with the looming danger of a shed

Yeah am sure he would.

Had a mini heart attack thinking you were going back to the same doc. I am so glad that only 1400 grafts were done so this could have been much worse. Dr Panine has a good reputation I hope it all goes well!

I would reach out to the clinic, Freitas has definitely done lighter hairs before as have Bisanga etc. Well done on taking the meds, have you considered sliding in some dutasteride as part of your med stack? You ideally want to halt hair loss as much as you can before surgery.

if you can post pics and a little bit more about you (medication history age etc) we can help.

Beautiful result. Super impressed with Dr Ahmed

super natural!

Fascinating story. Thanks for updating and I am glad you are in a better place now

I am not too sure. I was on meds when I went so they didn't question it, just told me to continue taking meds. Dr Freitas highlighted the importance of taking meds during surgery though.

The next 2 months are gna be great bro. Hold tight P.S sorry I saw your last update and thought it was your latest 4 month update. But I realised this was 2 months ago… look forward to your update

Excellent result. Congrats
