3 months and 1 week. Definitely above my baseline. Needed to go back and see how far id come in the past 3 months.

We are fortunate to live in a period of time due to medical techniques and advances, that when we are unhappy about something in our appearance, we can rectify through surgery and sometimes solely medication . Life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed, so do it. Mental well being is the catalyst, lets face it, who really cares about our baldness other than ourselves, i know my family don't. P.S. if you keep up the medical regime, hopefully one / two procedures should be enough for a lifetime if you choose the correct surgeon. I switched from topical minoxidil to Oral minoxidil and has been a game changer for me so you might want to look into that also.

Healed well already @Bandit90. Time seems to stand still during the ugly duckling phase I agree. Most Norwood 6/7 would give their right arm for how you look now let alone what it will look like in another 10 months when this third procedure evolves. I look forward to seeing the return of the quiff.

This excellent for five moths. By the 12 month mark I'm sure this will be a home run

Looks like you got some early growth happening @Newman

got some good early growth @Otis james and the donor is looking untouched

You got great growth last time out and sure this procedure will be the icing on the cake

Few days away from my 3 month mark. Still microdosing 2.5mg cialis / viagra per day as well as 2.5mg oral minoxidil. Enjoyed the whole process so far and I’m sure it’s only going to get better from here on in. Also attached my surgical report.

This is looking great @harry1234 for nearly 5 months.

I started this same protocol after 5 weeks as it made sense increasing bloodflow to the recipient, ill be 10 weeks post op tomorrow and have noticed significant growth already. There is something in this protocol and combined with oral minoxidil, could be a game changer to some. I have developed slight and more frequent headaches though which is the only downside. Like the OP, I will start reducing the dose from month 4 and completely off it by month 5.

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE. You got great growth from the third transplant and it looks good. Enjoy your new appearance, sounds like your wife does.

Hi @Tamersam. i have seen another forum member post his progress from Pureline and his transformation was really good. Hope you get a good outcome too.

Choosing between Dr. Serken & HOI would be like choosing between two men to steal your wife. Probably a messy outcome and be rather expensive to sort. I see Dr. Pitella as a Norwood 7 marriage counsellor. Might be an expensive initial investment but will save you more in the long run. Rubbish analogy but i hope you get the point

Healing Nicely @Bandit90 and the donor is looking good already. Life passes by super quick and you'll be back to rocking that quiff in no time.

Looking good @Ajamilo. Let the fun commence

Thanks @Bandit90. Hope you’re healing up

Topman. Thanks @Britanium i sure hope it turns out good 👊

7 Weeks and 1 day since i had my surgery with Dr. Turan. Thought id do an update as I'm going away. I pretty much lost all my transplanted hair 9 days after my surgery which was slightly earlier than id thought it would be. I started taking Oral Minoxidil 2.5mg per day and have responded really well and wish id started on it sooner as my existing hair feels really course. Trimming nose hair weekly which is weird given I'm blonde and have only done it twice my entire life which I'm attributing to OM. Haven't wore a hat once and really embracing the ugly duckling stage and evolution of my hairline. Excited for next few months

You went to to the best for high Norwood's in Pitella. I am sure this will be another great outcome

excellent result 👍

If a doctor is tending to four patients per day and has minimal input in the surgery, what separates this model from the 'hairmills'? Genuine question

Without trying to sound condescending, if this work looks decent to you, i think you need to spend the next few months looking at real patients post ops pics to get an understanding of what looks good / bad. This is shocking.

6 months and already an excellent result @mxnprettynice

good early growth @Daniel Dabros 👍

You can expect even more growth and hair density in the coming months as well. Enjoy your new appearance 👊🏼
