David Silva is in no case a failed HT, did you look any of his recent post on Instagram? 
he went to Dr.Couto and his transplant looks amazing 

Or was this just an example of what it looks like right after transplant ? If so my bad

No, it is just a hair. And hair follicle its actually skin. What we call hair transplantation is in fact skin transplantation. 

Similar situation is with nails. Imagine that you break a nail, Would you be scared that it won't grow back? No 😅

I was so scared it was an actual follicle

Day 7 + No blood + no pain = Lost hair ≠ Lost Folicle.

I freaked out at day 11 for aparently blowing up a pimple but didnt lose any hairs then I obsessed over the area and monitored the grafts close to it till death and they staid till shedding 1 week later.

I know the first few days post op are a bit stressfull but try to not stress over too much and if there is something that draws your concearn just text the clinic. 

Plus I had some of those on ocasion, its just the hair but the root is perfectly safe.

Ok sounds good I’ll try to stay stress free

@Youth_Again,

At seven days postop, the newly transplanted follicles are deeply rooted underneath the surface of the scalp and could not be dislodged without surgery. Therefore, what you are seeing is likely just the hair shaft along with a scab and not the root of the follicle.  Patients who lose newly transplanted grafts typically experience pain and blood in the area where the graft was dislodged and this what only be in the first couple of days anyway. Like I said at seven days postop, it would be almost impossible to lose a graft without undergoing surgery.

I hope this helps.

Awesome, thanks for the clear answer 🙏

Just wondering if that is a lost graft, seems like there is the bulb, I am a bit worried.

7 days post op, the scab seemed to detached

It is noticeable, but I feel like most of our opinion is biased because we know so much about HT? 
if you asked anyone that does not know you did a HT do they notice it ? 
how many grafts did you get ?

Do you mind sharing the experience you receiving during operation and was it actually Dr Couto that done the transplant and did you feel the price was fair in comparison to other

My overall experience was really good, he was highly involved in the procedure, I would say 80% of the work was done by him in terms of implantation, since I had a lot of temporal and frontal hairline to get done.

I think the price I paid is fair in terms of service, it was done over 3 days. The scars looked amazing since day one. I cannot compare with others since I only went with him but I would really recommend him, he is very passionate about his work and you can feel it, every patient is important to him

So long story short . Been using fin for 10 years, had no sides that can be spotted, but after years of use my life came to a point where i start to had episodes of depression, which led me to use of prozac . Another thing is a brain fog.  Not sure when it started since its not just hit you at once, but over time my life become just trash : lack of energy, no motivation, i have memory problems  and so on. Basically you dont live a full life, started to feel myself like im an empty shell with no soul .. So i dropped it like half a year ago. ATM its hard to say if im becoming who i was before fin , but i hope that it will happen . Just a thought for everyone who is using it  , those sides didnt hit me in one day, there were creeping little by little over the years .

If some of you have questions, feel free. I will do my best to answer

I think I feel you, I feel like after 3 years of using it I am less strong mentally than I used to, went over a breakup and kinda went through depression whereas before I would get over things faster. 
idk if this had an impact or not

The design looks great. Love the temple peaks and symmetry. Also very clean work. 

Thanks a lot ! 
It’s actually slightly asymmetric. I was worried at first but seeing how it looks now I’m happy the way it sits 

Dr.Couto hands down. For me money did not matter for a hair transplant, I wanted the best result possible

He reinforced my temples that were really weak.

can’t wait for the final result

The design looks wonderful. 
How much did you pay for the PRP session? Would you do more PRP during the coming months?

Thanks 🙏
300€ 

Unfortunately I am not sure, being located in Canada it’s quite far for me. I’ll try to find a clinic that does the specific PRP Dr.Couto explained to me

Amazing work! Good luck

thanks, super excited for the results.

Hi guys,

after so many years of research and also so many of dreaming about finally doing a HT, the day has come.

I am less than 48h post surgery but I am too excited not to share with you, 2600 grafts have been done over the course of 3 days, 1000 grafts day 1, same on day 2 and then the remaining on day 3.

i also had PRP treatment on day 3. 
my head is quite swollen at the moment and it feels quite heavy. 

here are some pictures pre op, and some post op.

Did you bring a wide hat?

They are telling me to bring a button down and a wide hat, is it necessary ?

Hello. I saved up annual leave for a year and a half so I’ve taken off January to April. I couldn’t have possibly gone back to work currently but I am mid ugly duckling stage. I have PRP booked in for April. I’m currently taking fin/Minox/biotin just to speed up the process. I use rose masqueda oil to help the redness. 

Did you go back to Dr.Couto clinic for the PRP or you did it in London ?

That's fine. The brand you buy is actually from Thailand so it's not like you are getting it made anywhere in the west but if that gives you more peace of mind more power for you. I just got from ADC since i found it quite cheaper for 6 months supply. 

I know, I would rather get the real deal but I can't get it in Canada so I have to go that route sadly. Price is not in consideration here for me

3 minutes ago, TheGreatPretender said:

Doesn't come directly from India though. The brand is Indian but it's legit, lots of people have been ordering there for ages. 

Brand is Indian, which is why I said I would not trust it IMO. Just my personal opinion 😃

1 hour ago, TheGreatPretender said:

Got it via alldaychemist. 

10mg of lonitabs, I will start splitting in two halfs once my supply from Spain post op ends. 

I would trust goodstuffstore more imo, can't really trust anything coming from India

6 months update ?

Little update on my side : 

Pump not as crazy as it used to be, I think my body was just getting used to it and getting all that extra blood in my vessels was giving my huge pumps. 

After 1 month of use I started to feel dizzy, this happened for almost 5 days straight, feeling super dizzy and tired, and slowly disappeared, now I am almost completely fine, back to normal.

Hello, may I know your dosage for oral minoxidil. I'm on oral minoxidil 2.5 mg from the last six weeks. From yesterday I've started going back to the gym which   I stopped after my HT. I'll reply here after two weeks regarding the muscle pump while working out 😃

updates?

Taking some photos, which are not the best images but my feelings when seeing, I am thrilled. 

It's past 4.5 months and this is really starting to move.

 

Just curious, have you done the PRP session at 1 month and 3 months post op as recommended by Dr.Couto ?
