Regular Member YoshiYo Posted June 26, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks for the comments! Those ugly duckling months (0-3) were rough but I feel like the worst is behind me and my hair future is looking bright. For those considering the FUE procedure; I think we all have the same anxieties for the first few months (what if it doesn't work for me?). Hopefully you can get some validation through this website before you make your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sethticles Posted June 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 thats a great result from only 2500, gone from bald to hair again, you should feel great about yourself, after my HT i avoided this site like a plague, I didn't want to hear everyone's opinions its tough enough worrying if those damn hairs are going to grow or not, but yours have grown and seemed to have multiplied, a fantastic result. best of luck for the next few months when it really kicks in..

Senior Member voxman Posted June 26, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 26, 2015 This is looking to be a success story after all. Let's see what the next 6 month bring! I'm serious.

Senior Member BadBeat Posted June 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Looks life changing. I bet you would have been happy had this been the 12 month result! Just think, you still have some more growing/thickening to go too. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted June 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Really amazing for 2500 grafts. And down the line you could go to Turkey for more work if needed. But for now, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member YoshiYo Posted June 27, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wow, thanks for the comments guys; I really appreciate it. I think part of what helped me is that I didn't start Fenestricide & Monoxidil until after I had the HT... so it was like fertilizer and I'm seeing some results from that. Or maybe I'm just lucky? Either way I'll take it I also take 10,000 mg Biotin every morning with my proscar pill if that makes a difference. Honestly, this would be great if it was my 12 month result so I'm looking forward to the next 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member fortune11 Posted June 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2015 YoshiYo - congrats on the early growth. I also really like your conservative hairline, which seems to frame your face well (atlas from the picture you have shown) and hopefully leaves enough donor supply for any future work if needed . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FUT #1, ~ 1600 grafts hairline (Ron Shapiro 2004) FUT #2 ~ 2000 grafts frontal third (Ziering 2011) FUT #3 ~ 1900 grafts midscalp (Ron Shapiro early 2015) FUE ~ 1500 grafts frontal third, side scalp, FUT scar repair --300 beard, 1200 scalp (Ron Shapiro, late 2016) http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185663-recent-fue-dr-ron-shapiro-prior-fut-patient.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member YoshiYo Posted July 25, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) 5-Month update. Everything is going great. Everyone notices now so people at work ask me what I'm doing. People that haven't seen me in awhile must be putting 2 + 2 together but they usually comment, "Did you get a haircut or something?" All my friends are really impressed. I still take finestricide everyday but in the past month, I've stopped washing my hair everyday and am down to just washing it twice a week. I still massage my hair in the shower everyday but just don't use soap. The Monoxidil makes my hair feel like straw and my head itchy so I've cut back to once a day, sometimes every other day. Coconut oil helps when my scalp feels itchy but I've seen the biggest improvement to that from not washing my hair anymore. I got the foam version of monoxidil and have been trying that during the day at work; it still makes my hair straw-like so I have some coconut oil I use like hair tonic and that helps a lot.

Regular Member YoshiYo Posted November 19, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi everyone! I am 8 months post Neograft so wanted to post an update. Everything is going really well. I'm still struggling with dry hair and itchy scalp so am doing Minoxidil off and on. Taking Finestricide everyday. I also have some bumps on my head and one marble like lump that I need to see my Dr about. I started getting mild shedding over the past few weeks. Shedding is totally normal; fine hairs going through cycle, according to research so I'm not trippin. My biggest problem at this point is how to style my new hair so I'm going to see a real stylist soon but in the mean time my barber is blown away. Here are a few pics including one of what products I use. Message me or reply with comments or questions. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mikeey Posted November 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2015 great results man , can we see the top down pics ? i think the mid is the most difficult to fill in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member YoshiYo Posted November 19, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yep; For the previous pictures I always sat in the same position and my wife took it with our DSLR camera right after I showered and dried my hair so that it was consistent. Yesterday and today's are not in the same manner of course so I'll try and get some soon like that... this is the best top-down I can get by myself but the crown isn't very visible so I'll get some updated pics soon. I still could use a lot more thickness but coming from where I was.... bald to thin is awesome.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member YoshiYo Posted January 6, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2016 Happy New Year everyone! Today is my 10th Month post NeoGraft so thought I'd share a few pics I snapped today. Still a bit thin but from where I started it's tons better; I think I'll be happy with this single HT procedure... at least my wallet says so! One major update piece on my regimen: I totally stopped Rogaine. It was making my scalp itch so fiercely; I had cut down to only using it once a day and then down to only using it about an hour before I showered and it just was relentless head itching; even the foam version. Also, it made my hair very, very dry and looking wiry like pubic hair, even when I stopped washing it regularly and was applying oils and product. Since ending Rogaine, my hair is looking and feeling much better; softer, no scalp itch at all... hopefully it won't hurt me in the long run but it had to be done. I am still taking Propecia with no side effects at all and my HT Doc said that works more thoroughly than Rogaine anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
