    It really is on a case by case basis, I think if your hairloss is not severe and if he has to implant between hairs, Fin is a must, but if your hairloss has already progressed and is predictable, he may not require it. He has unmedicated cases on his youtube, but as always to slow progression and make sure the transplant lasts he will likely ask you to medicate. But i cant speak for him, I can only speak for my situation

    I Just wanted to update regarding two things. 1. Vertex hair loss seems to have actually gotten better since the HT, with regrowth. 2. I don't think I have experienced any shock loss in the donor, which if i'm honest was my biggest worry when undertaking the process. I will be reaching month two next week, really dying to see results but am trying to be realistic all the same

    Hey dude sorry to hear and read about your situation, if you do want my two cents, I would recommend @BHR Clinic, for the very specific reason that I think Dr. Bissanga is the best most ethical choice for repairs. From what I have seen, he may be able to advise you in an unbiased manner, for ethics I would truly tout him as such a genuine Dr. Im saying this without being his patient, but when I spoke with Ian, his patient advisor, I really felt like they put ethics first, and I think in your case this might work for you.

    I totally agree with you, especially if you wear your hair above a grade 2, it would be undetectable, I did make a point about the donor though because of the fact that I do like a skin fade so I’m quite happy with the way it turned out. Try to preserve your donor because it is the supply of all things you will need in the future

    I do agree, especially when compared to the other side, which has grown in way better! But basically unshaven it should be awesome with the touch up

    Dude tbh for the stage youre at i think it looks bloody brilliant, the fact that he wants a second crack to touch up, in my opinion simply indicates he just wants to perfect it.

    All I can say is, yes the wait is long, but I guess we’ll find out in this thread eventually if it was worth it

    To be quite honest the redness is quite minimal in normal light to the point today one of my coworkers pulled my hat off and didnt notice. I mainly wear a hat to cover it up currently but not really bothered if people know, it’s more just not having to explain to everyone I meet that I had one. I was very surprised with the cut, all day I wanted to get home to see what the donor looked like, I’m not sure what your thoughts are on how visible it is but I asked for the same cut I get every time and from my eyes it looks hardly noticeable and maybe even with some smp would be undetectable. I also got my graft count today luckily enough Total Follicular Units (UFs): UF1: 150 UF2: 636 UF3: 601 UF4: 87 Total implanted hairs: 3573 Ratio: 2.4

    *1 Month Update* So I wanted to wait a little while before updating you on the 1 month progress until I had a trim. After having a skinfade, I am really quite impressed with the harvesting. I have attached photos for the haircut. Until now I'm quite happy with the progress. I spoke with my mum, who basically knows nothing about hair transplants and tried to explain the grafting to her, to get her to see if she could notice the missing grafts from the donor zone, and she was having a tough time identifying it. But I'm uploading for the more aware purveyor to give feedback and see the progress and give thoughts. I would really appreciate any thoughts on the one month progress. Most of the transplanted hair has fallen out, but as expected it's the shock loss ugly duckling phase. My only thing that I would ask, is the transplanted area supposed to look like that now, looks a little bumpy, and just wondering if this goes away and when?
  10. Diff-thinner
    agreed, and also to keep it positive, you can always add the grafts to make things better as an option, so chin up dude and yes its a patience game

    Hey Youth_Again, Dr couto made similar comments regarding me, not many soft hairs for the hairline, so he had to go lower into the donor, just wondering if you have spoken to anyone at the clinic yet, and if so, what they have advised?
  12. Diff-thinner
    Any Update? :), Would be great to know what happened
  13. Diff-thinner
    Ive been wearing a cap since the second day, but only minimally and with special precautions and a special type of hat (snapback), to keep my head away from the sun and everything, just gotta make sure its a large one so it doesnt touch your head, Currently im not sure about shaving it, ill only consider if it gets to a point where it all looks silly but im hoping i can comb over the thicker hair behind over the HT at some point when it grows out
  14. Diff-thinner
    Religiously wearing a cap currently, dont leave the house without it tbh, im waiting to see how bad it gets because I have some really important public events coming up, so im hoping there is enough wispy hairs that I can use fiber's 😂, any ideas ?
  15. Diff-thinner
    Update - Day 15, Dr Couto asks you to provide update photos at day 15 to check on everything, The shed is real and experiencing it every day but he says he's very happy so far. Fingers crossed, looking like Im going to be an extra ugly duckling this summer
  16. Diff-thinner
    Usually after consult its about a year
  17. Diff-thinner
    I have just had around 1500 grafts with Couto, your thread is making me so glad I took that decision, what he's done with you with such minimal grafts is so awesome!

    Hey @Gatsby thanks so much for the reply and the info, yeah I assume so, just shedding from everywhere, both donor and recipient, so was a little concerned, but happy to hear its all usual.
  19. Diff-thinner
    I am 13 days post op, Tomorrow will be day 14, I am just wondering if this shedding is normal and if anyone could advise, This occurs when I apply the rosehip oil and the aloe vera, I am assuming shedding of native and implanted hairs is normal at this stage? Would appreciate the advice
  20. Diff-thinner
    Best pre-op pics I could find until the clinic sends theirs

    Currently doing topical finasteride 0.3ML, oral minoxidil 2.5 MG, I dermastamp on sundays, but have stopped for the moment, and then will be doing the high yield PRP for the next four months, not for regrowth but to keep the recipient fertile.
  24. Diff-thinner
    HI Kacan, sure thing I can do that, Will post tomorrow... as for the before picture let me see what I can do
  25. Diff-thinner
    Why were you vacillating? Yeah he does that, but I would assume you have to be on meds first so you dont lose the existing as much as possible, He did it for me, but minimally and they were miniaturizing hairs already, but were quite bullish they may survive with the meds and the PRP. One thing I will say is that Couto is very cognizant of future loss, because if it was down to me I would have been greedy and had like 3k grafts and implanted throughout my existing to make my hair super thick. He out right refused and was correct, his philosophy could be stated as, you can always add more, when you have supply, but you cannot add more if unpredictable hairloss becomes aggressive and you no longer have the supply and now have to make less than ideal decisions.
