Thanks @Bandit90 for the encouragement, it is much appreciated! Yes, even after the first HT growth fully matures there will be plenty of room for improvement. It will be a long journey for sure, so I'm definitely in it for the long run. As for hair Cloning... I've been told it will be out in 5 years... but I remember hearing that 17 years ago 😆 -
@Bej520 I just took at look at your photos and I agree that our cases our remarkably similar! I think most people desire a fully dense head of hair, but people in our position realize that we will never have that density again. I was bald for many years, and couldn’t stand that smooth look and lack of hairline on my head. I just wanted stubbles at the very least, and the transplant made a big difference for me. I know there are other forum members that can’t understand why I’m happy with my result, but I had pretty low expectations for my first surgery. For 3 1/2 months, your growth is excellent, and will significantly improve in the coming months! best wishes

@Gatsby Thank you Adrian for your support! What an inspiring journey you've had, and you've had an incredible transformation. I will probably give the growth at least 18 months to fully mature, before I consider another procedure. This process will take time for sure, and I'm ok with that. All the best Adrian, and I wish you luck on your third procedure! I will be following your journey closely!

@BuffaloboyThats impressive, I didn't know you could do a graft count with an image like that! That was before the shed started, but maybe I lost some in the headwashes (I had three)... but I doubt I would have lost 2500 during it, haha! I havent had a chance to see my Eugenix post op photos, which would be the most high quality images. Maybe I can get those photos and try the graft count on that one. But who knows, maybe it truly isn't 5500 grafts, it's quite possible. I'm just gonna wait it out 18 months, and see If I'm a slow grower. If this truly is a failure, I feel like it will be one step closer to accepting my baldness and moving on with my life... And I truly would love to finally reach that point of acceptance 😄

Hi @SLA Thanks for the encouragement! I've seen @Bandit90 Latest photos, and he could definitely pull it off, especially after the third surgery!

Here is the clearest photo I could find of my transplanted area before little to no shedding took place. As you can see, it is not densely packed. The grafts were spread over the entire area. I've also placed photos from today... and yeah, definitely not 100% growth, and there are still annoying gaps, but a lot of beard hair was used and they don't have the highest growth yield. It's ok, I will never become Fabio and I'm ok with short hair 😆

@Eugenix Hair Sciences Thank you for your support! I will wait 14 - 16 months to see how much my hair improves. I will be in touch with any future queries.

@Bandit90 Thank you John! I appreciate your feedback, and I've been following your thread since the beginning when I wasn't a HRN member. I am absolutely amazed with your progress and shocked to see you go for a third procedure, which will be amazing addition to what you already have! I watched the JT video where you were combing through your hair, and I just keep watching it over and over because it brings me so much joy! I can't imagine the happiness you must feel after having such a successful restoration. I extremely happy for you, and wish you the best for your upcoming growth!

@Buffaloboy Thank you for your honest feedback! But that photo was from one month during the duckling phase. It is placed at the end of my post for some reason, and is causing a lot of confusion. the growth has improved a lot since then. @Melvin- Admin can you please remove the last 15 photos from my post. They moved to the end and they shouldn't be there. Thank you!

Eugenix Journey- 9,132 grafts- NW6- Oct. 2022/Oct.2023
Frosted Flaked replied to SLA's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
@SLA Looking great Adam! this is only the beginning and you have so much growth to look forward to. It will be a phenomenal result for sure! -
@hairman22 Thanks for the advice. I'll start with the lower dose first to see if I can tolerate it. I've asked Eugenix if it's ok to start taking it, and I'm awaiting their reply. Once they give me the OK, I'll get a prescription 👍

@mrmane85 Thank you, I appreciate that! Yes, for me it is a huge improvement over having nothing 😄 I will keep you updated. @YodaHead Thank you. Haha, "Dr. Nick", thats funny! Glad to have talked with you, and I appreciate the feedback. Yes, I hear those beard grafts can take a bit longer. I will keep you posted! @Kamran10 Thank you, and Low Laser therapy, PRP, and Mesotherapy are great suggestions. I've been thinking about oral minoxidil as well, I'll have to check with Eugenix to see if they're ok with me starting it. I have talked to Eugenix about a second procedure, but they told me to wait at least a year until we start planning it. My scalp donor still feels quite dense- my guess is 2000 scalp, 2000 beard w mustache & sideburns, and I'm really hoping to throw Chest hair in the mix as well. I know body hair isn't great, but every little bit helps!

@SLA Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm really glad to have met you my friend! Your words bring tears to my eyes. @BeHappy Thank you, I appreciate that very much. Yes it was a large area covered with a relatively small amount of grafts, so this is exactly what I expected from one surgery. Yes, it has been a painful road, but I plan on getting through it one step at a time.

The Photos are out of Place at the end of the post. My apologies, I'm not sure how to fix it - but to clarify ... And yes, I will admit that there are considerable gaps in certain areas at month 8, and other bits that bother me from time to time. But there are still more hairs popping through, so if it improves by month 12 then great. But if not I'll just buzz it down. I appreciate the honest feedback guys 🙂

@BaldV That photo was from the ugly duckling phase. The last 15 photos at the end of the post shouldn't be there. They are in the wrong place.
