I second that! Updates my friend? 

Hey brother - try to stay positive. I understand the results are not up to your hopes at this point but it’s still fairly early. Also worse case scenario a touch up has you looking 10/10. MANY people on this forum have it WAY worse off than you. You still have donor hair and only need a little bit more density. That’s a good place to be in overall. Not to minimize your worries, but to put things into perspective. Many people would  trade places with you. 
 

There are many wise people on this forum that can help in regards to what you may need at some point from a touch up. My suggestion :

In the meantime can you upload more comprehensive pictures of your current situation. Maybe some with hair styled up / pulled back.  From straight on and from sides.  This way the community can fully assess your situation and best help you!! 
 

thanks bro stray up! 🙏

Ah I see what you mean. My virtual consultation and estimate was in July. Procedure in September. But it’s possible to have gone up since then I suppose. Reach out to them and see! Best way to find out 

Since 6 weeks ago?

Honestly, I am very happy. if you look at my pre-op pics at the very top of my post. i was completely bald.

You have to remember the crown was never touched and I only had a frontal third surgery (temples, hairline to mid-scalp).

Dr Pekiner advised it was not possible to do the whole head in one block/session. What i have had done was over 3 days.

 

So pre-op to now ive been on finasteride MWF 1.25g per day.

Dr Pekiner advised to jump on minoxidil after 3 months of the surgery but i never did. - reason for that was because I was very pleased with the growth and felt like i didn't need to. Now im considering topical min for the crown? in any event I will be going back for second surgery.

Amazing results. Pekiner is so good! Did he recommend oral or topical Min? 

Does Pekiner not have instagram? Where’s the best place to see his work? 

Drooling over ur results. It’s amazing how Pekiner implants with NO patterned regularity. Mimicking the way hair naturally grows so perfectly. This should allow you to even rock a buzz cut if you want to. This is going to be an incredible final result. I’ll watch this one closely. Happy growing! 

Any progress 

A very well informed man on this subject said #1 is Konior and it is not close. 

Freitas, Pinto, Pekiner. Had my procedure with Freitas in Sept. It was ~ €3 / graft. 
 

Also brother - a long waitlist is a good sign. Especially for these renowned surgeons with high dr. Involvement and 1 or 2 patients / day. Wait 1 year is worth it for the right surgeon. Also you can tell them to notify you of cancellations. I was on Freitas waitlist for 1 year out, but they had a cancellation and 2 months later I had my procedure. It happens 

Absolutely increíble results

I had my consultation with Dr Reddy, a few weeks ago. 

Really don't know who to go with. It wasn't anywhere as indepth as a consultation as Dr Bisanga but I got good vibes from him and he appears confident that he can help me. 

Decisions, decisions...

Can you give detail about the consultation ? Prices and wait times?
 

thanks brother 

Follow Melvins advice. I’m from the Bay Area and I traveled to Spain for the best Dr. Possible. It’s just a flight. Don’t let the location you live in determine your choice. 

Amazing! His work looks incredible. I just had my HT with de Freitas in Sept but if I didn’t choose him I probably would have gone with Pinto

He's friends with Dr. Oscar Munoz who is a big advocate of Oral Minoxidil. I should be having a podcast with him soon. 

U have a pod with Bruno Pinto soon?

I had surgery with dr de Freitas in September as well and he prescribed me the exact same combo

Looks great so far. Expecting big jumps in the next month or 2. Look forward to following along. 

Have you tried contacting Dr. De Freitas regarding your concerns? Also did you go for the included PRP follow up at the 3 month or 6 month point? 
 

I just had my transplant done at Dr. De Freitas 3 weeks ago so will be following closely 

@JDEE0 - where’s the latest update brother. Aug 2 looked amazing. It’s already oct 9 the public are dying to see ur progress!  Thanks again for posting your journey bro!

We have liftoff 👏👏

Hello, i visited many doctors durig this time. Couto, Zarev, Lorenzo and 15 days ago i went to freitas in spain.

Dr freitas was the more organized from all of them. He answered me the questions and told me how they work. they also answer me by whatsupp app some questions i had after i visited them.

Zarev is not replyng my emails. so not good option.

Lorenzo results i saw not so good.

So, my decision is by far the best freitas and i have already booked hair transplant with him! I am very happy. About 1800 grafts.

Thanks @De Freitas Clinic

Hey brother - how long is the wait for the transplant with dr de Freitas?
