Regular Member zhairz Posted October 27, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2016 What's up guys, I am starting my thread here for all interested in the results of my procedure with Dr Alba Reyes in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. You can find the review of my experience with the excellent Dr Reyes and all of her wonderful staff in my other thread in the surgeon reviews forum here. This has so far been the slowest 3 months of my life, definitely feels more like 6 months to a year has passed since I left the DR to return to NY. I stopped obsessing over my hair or taking photos daily and accepted that I'll look like a newly balding dude for a while. I feel for everyone in the same position now and wish the best to everyone going through this phase! I am attaching photos from pre-op day of surgery, 1, 2 and 3 months post op. As I post this thread I am at exactly 3 calendar months post op. My current regimen: .25 Propecia Lots of freaking vitamins Lots of freaking water 3 Months seems to be a turning point for me as it is for most, so my fingers are crossed. I'll be posting my photos outside so you guys can get as much detail as possible. thanks to all for the great reviews and info on this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member zhairz Posted November 7, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2016 Just wanted update this early as my hair is looking better every day now that I have reached a week past the 3 month mark. Under normal lighting indoors I look like I have a full head of thinning hair - never thought I'd be excited to admit to that lol but things are coming together nicely. Will update with more photos in 20 days when I hit the 4 month mark, thanks all for comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dr or assistants? There are many good cases on your website. As I remember a technician performed most of the procedure while the doctor hovered overseeing things. I actually asked the technician how long he'd been performing HT's and he answered 10-15 years (sorry that I don't remember exactly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member zhairz Posted November 27, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2016 So today marks 4 calendar months exactly since my surgery. Things have definitely progressed nicely over the past couple of weeks, but I've still got a little ways to go. I am posting photos in all different lighting conditions for all interested.

Regular Member gijedi Posted November 29, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2016 Glad to hear you've had a good experience. I always wonder why her name doesn't come up more often on this forum. I had 2,270 grafts/4,600 hairs strip surgery about a year and a half ago and couldn't be happier. Have two other friends that have been to her also with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member zhairz Posted January 27, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2017 So I finally hit the 6 month mark today and am pretty stoked about my hair. If it's natural, dry and curly it's very difficult to see my scalp at all. The attached photos however are with emu oil, which I sleep with in my hair nearly every night. You can also see the difference where my hair is brushed back versus curly. I think that I will return to Dra Reyes this summer to lower my hairline a tad more before being done. It's amazing how easy it is to adjust to a new hairline and want more! Overall I have 0 regrets except that I wish I'd gone sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
