Looking killer! Insane growth for just 4 months. 100% the summer of quiffs bro.. you are rocking it mate 

4 Months and 2 weeks. To say i am pleased would be an understatement. After my first failed procedure i had my reservations but even if I don't experience any further growth from here, id be extremely happy if this is my final result. Hair is a bit difficult to style but I'm growing it out to rock a slick back. Due my first trim tomorrow which I'm looking forward to visiting a proper barbers where i don't have to ask for an arse comb to scrape it forward. 

I firmly believe that micro dosing Cialis / Viagra along with Oral Minoxidil has assisted greatly and I am surprised this hasn't been talked about more. There are three examples of guys on here following this protocol and have all experienced great early growth including myself. Will stop next week but will continue the oral minoxidil. 

There has been a couple of negative threads and feedback of Dr. Turan and @FUECAPILAR recently but obviously I cant praise them enough. They've definitely changed my life.

@Bandit90 The summer of the quiffs

first two pics are my consultation pics i provided to the clinic

Where i am today 

2024 is the return of the quiff. 

Cant decide which is better, the hair transplant or the presentation. Both Incredible. 

I use 2.5 oral minoxidil daily and have started applying topical in addition on a night starting from last night. Will the topical induce a shed? I'm 4 months post procedure and not sure if adding the topical will impact my newly transplanted hair. Probably a silly question but thought id ask

@Myles23 same here. I cannot tolerate oral at all. What topical dosage have you tried that worked for you in atleast maintaining your hair? I would appreciate your inputs. Thanks!

Not sure where you're from however Numan do an all in one spray as per photo below. Hope that helps.

Looking great for only four months @Myles23. Lots of growth still to come. 👌💯

Thanks @Gatsby. Even though I've experienced fast growth, there is always that niggling doubt that hopefully this isn't the full grafts that have grown through. Hoping to see more sprouting

@Myles23 no finasteride after hair transplant?  Your hair transplant looks fabulous. What did the surgeon say about finasteride. @Gatsby what’s your opinion about finasteride after a hair transplant? I can’t tolerate it anymore! Thanks everyone!

I've been on and off finasteride for the last 10 years, i don't tolerate the oral form in any dosage. I've been using topical solution with finasteride / minoxidil for the past year and tolerated it well however we are currently in the throws of deciding whether to have our second child so I've been off it the past 4 months. I would definitely recommend trying the topical finasteride.  Oral minoxidil has been a game changer for my existing hair. 

Month 4 Update: Photos of where I started vs where I am today 4 months since my procedure with Dr Turan @FUECAPILAR . Happy with how things are evolving so far. Oral minoxidil has definitely been a game changer thickening up my existing hair. My current medication stack below for anyone interested. 

2.5mg oral minoxidil morning daily

1.25mg cialis / 1.25mg viagra (will stop in 4 weeks)

Topical Minoxidil evening daily

the design really suits your face - nice one.

Thanks. I thought it was a bit conservative straight after my procedure but I’m liking how it’s taking shape. 

This is awesome mate and great work by Turan. Not seen results like that in your 4 month update. 
 

Question…. when microdosing cialis / viagra, did you experience any mild headaches? Might be unrelated but since I’ve reduced my intake to 1.25mg / 1.25mg they’ve subsided a little. Will stop at 5 months…. To my wife’s delight 

This is not great for 9 months and it would appear you had a poor survival rate but also judging from your previous post op pictures, the work didn't look good from the outset. You can expect only marginal improvement in density from here to 12 months as the hair matures. You have great hair characteristics so even though your donor has dipped, I would consult a great surgeon to see about another procedure. With a mix of scalp and beard grafts you could get the desired look in the right surgeons hands. Are you still on meds?

Any update on this? Be good to see how it’s turning out

Proper mop of hair that. Great yield even at 6 months. Thanks for sharing 

Three months and two weeks since my procedure.

I sent the clinic some updated photos yesterday and thought i would share them on here. Very happy with the early growth. Last photo is under a light and in a large window. Growing my hair out for the next 5 months.

My hair transplant from Dr. Turan turned out great. However, I would recommend microneedling if you want to see faster progress. @Xhant

be good to see an update, that month 4-5 was something else. 

This will be the norm moving forward i suspect with top tier surgeons. Fuegenix have a £1000 consultation fee also. This will weed out the window shoppers from people who are genuine but i presume this will be fee will be deducted from the surgery costs should the patient go ahead with the procedure. 

Also worth noting that there are few examples on here where people have described their consultations with both Zarev and Fuegenix. The consultation is thorough and can last several hours or more. We all value our time so why shouldn't a top tier surgeon value theirs?

Everyone’s growths differs from person to person. You’re still early in your journey and it looks like growth is starting to happen. Fingers crossed you see a big change from here to month 8

This is a dense of hair transplant I've seen on this forum. Bravo sir 

Looking forward to seeing this evolve in the few months

Excellent for 6 months. Enjoy your new hat free Appearance 

It’s gone darker across my whole head so you’re right, must be down to the oral minoxidil

Hair darkening is among the known side-effects of minoxidil, particularly in its oral form, if I am not mistaken.

Cheers @Stoner. I never knew this. Had friends and family comment on how dark it’s looking. Don’t mind giving away the blonde as long as the hairline returns to a decent state
