    Day 30 updates - ugly duckling phase full on
  2. londonboy9030
    Indeed - was waiting to go over the one month mark to make the updates. I think i ve entered the shedding phase- scabs have all come off and I havent seen much redness (?) but probably because London s been quite gloomy for the last 10 days or so lol Under harsh light

    On to great things already ! I m so jealous as i m only day 15 in now haha. Apart from fin & min, are you taking any biotin for faster hair growth?

    Thanks ! Very encouraging words as i know the ugly duckling phase is coming haha - will need some positive encouragment thru the next 3 months ( i ll probably try to share monthly updates with pics) I have got the 1 year s worth of Fin to take as well, so that actually is good money saved on my part (i ve been taking 1mg Fin daily for the last 4 years, with oral min). Dr Mittal has been in touch with me everyday post op so far as well, checking on the pics everyday. So far so good, and fingers crossed in 3 months time this will turn out nicely (just in time for any summer trip or vacatio n i have haha)

    Thanks - any feedback on my hairline/donor area for Day 9?
  6. londonboy9030
    Was just about to post this later today - day 9 post op, most scabs have come off now. Density looks a bit sparse (I guess to be expected, immediately post op obv it looks a lot more dense). I havent entered the shedding phase yet (i think) Donor is looking okay so far (please do ignore the thinning on my crown - this was before the surgery already and i plan to fix it in 2-5 years time with another HT) What do you guys think of the overall healing/post op recovery so far ? Should the sensity still work out for my hairline ?

    Thanks ! Yes a lot of the singles had gone to my 2 temples (my right side required quite a far bit of reconstruction). Dr Mani did mention that for manufactured singles (i.e those split from a double or triple), there s a chance they wont take. Wondering if everyone knows the % chance of this happening ?

    So medication : i m already on Finasteride and Oral Minoxidl for the last 3 years, and will continue both going forward For the procedure: yes all anasthetic delivery, extraction, incision are done by Dr Mani (I was his only patient for the day). The implantation was done by his tech team, but Dr Mani was there every 30 min or so to look at the tech work and requested changes. I believe i had 3 rows of singles, 2 rows of doubles and 2 rows of triples. The new hairs were placed amongst my forelocks as well since it was thinning out (you can tell from my long hair look),

    Hi - so long story short, i recently had a transplant session with Dr Manish Mittal (on wednesday), for 1,844 grafts into my hairline. Attached are my pre ops pics (with long hair) and ones with shaven hair (before implantation). And these are pics directly after implantation: Then at 5pm Day 1 after the bandage is taken off And donor areas : And total hair count: Overall i would say the experience was very smooth and comfortable. Dr Mani was involved in all key steps (injecting anesthestic, extraction, cutting the initial incision). During implantation (which was done by his two lovely technicians), he was back in after every 30min or so to check if the planting was done correctly What do you guys think of the overall hairline design and density ? Have to say on Day 0 it was very densely packed (which is the most important bit for me) and the little hair bulbs looked like tiny oysters stuck on an old bridge lol. Let me know what everyone thinks !

    Thanks mate ! Defo will start my own thread as well - my ops day of 12 April is coming up soon, getting quite excited, especially having seen your good results after just a few months
  11. londonboy9030
    Any further updates mate ?
  12. londonboy9030
    Congrats on that new hairline ! Did you go in for a 6 months check up with Dr. Mani yet ?
  13. londonboy9030
    ANy update pics mate ?
  14. londonboy9030
    Hey mate, any update pics on your 3 month mark ?
  15. londonboy9030
    That s gonna be my plan as well haha. I m praying actually that weather continue to stay cold and i dont have to come out too much during April/May time. Ops now booked in for 12/04 so hopefully by the time it s really hot (i.e. July, i would have gone past the 3 months ugly duckling phase, and can actually travel around with a hat
  16. londonboy9030
    Yeah i have had, Dr Mani is probably one of the most chilled person (not just a doctor) that i ve ever met actually. i think i ll book it in for Easter, as i can get a 2-3 weeks period of leave and working from home. Ppl probably will know i had a hair transplant (coz i m going the full shaven route), but i m back office in a bank so dont think that would be too much of a problem
  17. londonboy9030
    Thanks ! I am having the in person with Dr Mani next week, so hopefully can secure the current pricing. Just out of curiousity, did you see any free slot for the Easter period (April/May) time ? :-)
  18. londonboy9030
    Thanks ! Did you book September because there was no availability from now until then ?

    HI @Speoj : I m considering going to Dr. Mani for a consultation - my hair is kinda similar to yours (though I m Asian, but my Norwood level is quite the same). Can I ask if you had to be placed on a wait list for surgery ? And how long did your donor take to grow back out to a decent level to cover the work that was done ? THanks !
