Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted January 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 I agree, I felt like making a forum love post the other day when I thought how amazing this community is for helping people. Glad it's all worked out well for you champ! [edit] just went through your whole blog. WOW! Your result is incredible, very happy for you 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted January 27, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks guys! The way I see it if all us vets don't forget our roots ( no pun intended ) then we can grow thicker and stronger together through the hard and thin times!!

Senior Member tacolinowest Posted January 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 hey man, you stopped posting pics of the scar,, how did that turn out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted January 27, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 27, 2013 Quite well it's about 2 to 3 mm thick apart from a small stretch on the back right corner just as it starts to go diagonally up on my right side it's about 1 inch long and about 4-5 mm thick I think this is just a issue with my personal body how it heals not too great as I left my staples in for about 30 days and the closure was unbelievably good. I'm happy with the scar considering my body's healing issues. I can go over the scar with a blade 4 no problem but 3 stands out as a obvious scar. I'm just posting from my phone so can't get to private messages but will reply to people when I go on laptop.

This forum in this industry is like ' A rose amongst the thorns'. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK.
