Amazing 

 

Super appreciate it when you post these comps. So easy to forget just how much it affected me at the time, wind blowing in certain directions were a killer! How far it's come. Thanks @Melvin- Admin

Thanks for all your info, it’s been a great read. Your hair looks awesome. What did you mean on your last point regarding fin & min? Did you stop taking them?

Sorry for late reply. This was taken before my hair transplant a couple of years before when I started going on Fin & Min and started experiencing shedding whilst on the treatment. It came back so the images of my hair before the HT are the most accurate before photos. Was just sharing for those just starting Fin & Min that might experience initial shedding.

10 Month Update

Happy with where things have ended up. The left temple hairline is a little thinner than the right, though we did use more grafts in the right as there was more recession here. Granted, my hairstyle doesn't help that! I do plan in a couple of years when my crown is needed to get a top up in the left temple, which Bicer said would likely be necessary. But still - happy with the result.

Amazing happy for you bro

Thanks Melvin - crazy to see when you put it side by side.

*9 Month Update*

Overall very happy at this point, have noticed as @Gatsby said previous more subtle growth and density. Will continue updates for next three months either way but at this point I'm really happy with how it's turning out. Photos are post-wash so a little wet too for more real images.

Month 9 Left Temple and Closeup.

*8 Month Update*

Not much to report - still feel it's coming along well. Still am noticing new growth in closeups, which I am slightly surprised to still see new growth at this stage. Still feel pretty optimistic I'll see an increase in density, specifically in left temple over next 4 months.

Youre over worrying. Advice on the cautious end stops at 30 days. You've done no harm.

Overdoing it would mean frequent binge drinking which may restrict blood vessels and hence slow potential growth.

Any 10+ month update for us?

@Melvin- Admin Hi, this is @Abby10 I am writing to request that you please take my pictures down for security reasons. I am unable to do so myself, let me know if you need anything from me to fulfill this request.

Hely Abby - just so you know, you can do this on your own. Just click the three dots and select 'edit', then just delete the images manually and then update the post. They'll no longer show.

Here are HQ pictures without the use of any hair products...its been almost 8 months post op

1st pic - Directly under harsh sunlight 

Last pic - wet hair

Rest of the pictures are in well lit room

Fantastic result - unbelievable how good it looks. Congrats man, happy growing.

Following keenly - you're on track, keep us updated.

Hey mate, I know this is worrying, but there's the most positive thing is that the post-surgery scab removal looks extremely good at Day 12. 

Are you a fast grower, no... but you're not so far behind that it's unreasonable. Hopefully month 6-9 will be a turning point. I'd take some real close ups on a high quality camera phone, I'd imagine seeing new growth would help alleviate some of the stress. The quality of images is poor so at times it can make growth look a little worse. Still feel this will be a good result, but you're just a little slower.

Keep us updated and keep your head up, this will be fine.

@DomTransplant

i like how it looks. Very nice.

do you wear your hair also down like a fringe or so. I’ve honestly never seen people post hairstyles like that here but to get a comparison to your before pic above could you post a photo like that when you have time? Front view and angle you have above!

thanks man

Here you go - hope this helps...

I don't wear it as a fringe but I'll take some pics later today and tag you!

This not only great for seven months @DomTransplant but this is just a great result in itself. 💯👌

It looks very natural...

Even density looks great!

And you are only at the 7th month mark😳

Thanks Martador - appreciate the feedback

Legendary Result - congratulations.

*7 Month Update* 

A couple days early this month as I'll be unable to get this done on time otherwise! No idea why I really blurred photos initially, but haven't done that this month, the black bars are gone. 

Right & Left Temple 7 Months

WIDER SHOT IMAGES MONTH 7

Also thought I'd share this for those that may experience shedding with medication. This image below was taken before my hair transplant, where I had experienced shedding having become super strict on taking min & fin. 

You are absolutely on track. I know we've spoken over DM but you're where you should be for 5.5 months. You're not even at the half way mark - this is going to be a great result imo.

Sorry about the delayed reply! - missed this initially.

Hey,

first of all, thanks for giving your opinion!

 

About Hairline lowering:

If I apply the rule of thirds, my hairline is almost the same size as the other thirds. Dr Gür also didn't recommend it.

When I was younger, I always thought that I have a massive forehead (receiding hairline deceives so much haha, but I have a big head overall 🤣)

 

About Bicer:

Her work is awesome and I've been following your case (very impressive work already and you still have a few months to go!)

The current price is the only thing that was too high for my budget. But it is definitely worth it.

 

I am relieved that it is probably in the 1500-2000 range.

Apologies for delayed reply - didn't see the notification on this.

Yeah seems super reasonable, agree by the way. I've got a big head too haha - and more importantly, saving the grafts for the future is so important.

Thanks for the kind words but to be totally honest, I think there are a ton of doctors that can do really good work in 'simpler' jobs in temple* areas. I'm not sure really there's a huge difference, I think at times you're probably just paying for the peace of mind. Gur has good results and if he's in your price range then it seems like a great option. 

If you do go through with it I'll be following!

Your donor looks very good, especially with this hair cut!

Hair line looks natural and your hair will get better and better in the upcoming months.

Can’t wait to see the final result.

Thanks Martador. Really happy for a half way point, will keep updating monthly, hopefully thickness continues to improve.

Congrats and all the best for the rest of the growth period! You are still early so expect more. Thanks for sharing a Dr.Bicer case.

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.

Hey mate - good Qs.

1) This seems reasonable, your temporal recession really isn't too bad and your frontal hairline looks in a good place already. So 1500-2000 should look great filling in the temples. Is there discussion as to whether or not they'll move the hairline down? It doesn't look needed to me - but obviously see what the expert Docs say!

2) I've seen some really good results from Dr Gur on here, but one of the more seasoned vets may be able to give some better info as to his skillset for you.

3) Looks natural and realistic. Taking a hairline down further should only be done if essential, the most important thing is you protect your grafts for future work if you ever need it, and with 1500-2000 you will.

Sorry to hear about Bicer not replying. I'm 29 and went to her 6 months ago, the reason 1500-2000 looks great to me is i had 2500, but had higher temporal recession than you have.
