Coming along very nicely now!

i've had less side effects on topical dutasteride than i had on oral finasteride, dose is important though

hairline design looks great

oh wow interesting, glad they took care of you. i wonder also if this is the only anesthetic they can use or if there aren't others? anyway best to prioritise your health and stay safe.

its a pointy hairline

Looking way better than month 3

and update @Ramons?

hairline is so natural.

I wouldnt think you had a transplant is seeing you in person

from one hairman to another hairman, i have to agree

~5 week mark:

I've noticed my forehead getting very oily this week - way more so than usual. I wonder if this is just apart of the healing process. My hair has been more oily too. I've had a pimple pop up in the area, but i popped it and cleaned it.

I've also noticed at this point my recipient is basically back to normal in terms of feeling, maybe only 5% of the numbness remains but it basically feels like normal head skin. The redness is almost gone.

@wembley is it worth it vs the risk of side effects?

hey Dylan, how long did you try finasteride for? and what dose? it didn't slow your hair loss at all?

if you were to describe your hairloss, would you say you have typical male pattern baldness or is it thinning all over? maybe showing us a picture of your hairline would help. i've heard sometimes people with diffuse thinning may have a micro nutrient deficiency or trouble absorbing nutrients.

you have to think long term with this - if you get a hair transplant now but your hair continues to fall out, it will eventually look much worse (very unnatural) than if you just shaved it. so priority #1 now is to stabilise the loss, then you can think about transplant if its required. i have seen cases of diffuse thinning return back thick. more so than normal pattern baldness where the hairline starts receeding.

Awesome result man, I'll have what you has!

Why do none of these guys seem to do ANY research into the doctors they go with?

Is this lady even a surgeon? Some of the things I heard didn't sound like great surgical practice (like keeping the grafts outside the body for >6 hours).

i think probably just the kind of personality that these people would be - big public figures who have a lot always going on etc. whereas for us we're probably all more private, analytical types more willing to research (as evident we've joined a forum etc looking for more answers).

Super nice guy, always very open about everything - his testosterone use too.
I wonder who this clinic was? Are they recommended here? Personally i would've been way more involved in the hairline design! But maybe he was and they just didnt show it

Jk, yeah I wanted to keep it natural so it would age well. I think most europeans have this M shape naturally, the "mature hairline". My primary concerns were the lack of density and asymmetry. I also noticed that a lot more can go wrong when you lower the hairline too much in a completely bald area for the hairline - often just wasting grafts and not achieving natural density so it doesn't look natural.

niiice, did you go with the M design because thats how it look before the slight recession ?

I walked in with a print out photo of vegeta and asked for that

Its reassuring that we're on the same timelines with the same graft count. Mines shedding a lot now too.

It's always perfect before too, even when they are fully balding, unless he/she him/herself feels it can be enhanced. 

looks good bro, especially like the layout of those singles in the front, very natural, and seems very dense behind them. great job

I think it is shocking that Couto treated a such big are with a such small amount of grafts.

it will be interesting to see how the density turns out and if this will need another pass

Accidental double post

Looks like I've shed over half the hairs already. Some of the longer hairs at the widows peak I think are native ones that are growing in normally just from when the Dr buzzed them, but most of the area is looking pretty nasty and red and the hairs are weird and bent and falling out. Seems to be normal at this stage, maybe a little early. Hope that means faster regrowth too. 

The donor feels completely normal now. The recipient is feeling really good now too - the tiniest bit numb still perhaps but not painful and most of the feeling is back. The recipient was feeling number for longer.

japanese people also have a low balding rate

haha yeah i was gonna say this. not enough baldness! although maybe if you did go bald in a low-balding population you'd feel more pressure to correct it. Japan also has really advanced skin care, so my girlfriend says.

holy moly that post-op! looks like his heads going to pop! why do some people get such extreme swelling while others are fine?

some great looking hairlines regardless, and his turns out really good and natural looking too. Doing the lords work!

Looks good, but, a lot of grafts for such a small area.

interesting that the dr said the patient didn't need to continue finasteride too.

but, it does look amazing. super dense!

lets see a photo of your hair with hairline exposed, you can just crop out everything else to remain anonymous

looks like your donor area has recovered insanely well. and the redness in the recipient looks to be completely gone now too? or is it just the photo? very early for it to be gone totally if it is.

hopefully just 5 more weeks to month 3 and you'll start seeing growth! 🥳
