Regular Member Sensorite Posted July 7, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi guys, I'm new here. Thought I'd show you all some photos of my crown restoration I had with Dr. Lorenzo exactly 1 month to the day. I'm a 32 year old Norwood II currently take 1/4 a 5mg finasteride pill every other day. The photos show pre med, pre op after 8 month on fin, shaved pre op and 1 day post op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Sensorite Posted July 9, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2017 thats Norwood ll ?? That's what Lorenzo put to paper! Currently going through the delightful shedding faze. My only concern now is that the miniaturized hairs present in the recipient area will fall out permanently due to shock loss.

Senior Member farmcat Posted July 11, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2017 Looks great! I have had 3 surgeries with Dr. Lorenzo (most recent was on 7/5 & 7/6) and have been thrilled with my first two (the third surgery is only a week old).....my yields I would guess have always been in the high 90%'s and his work is completely natural......you are gonna be thrilled with your results in another 6 or 7 months.

Regular Member Sensorite Posted July 11, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 11, 2017 Tried a search for Dr Lorenzo, anyone know his website / location? I'm surprised you'd not heard of him. I think he's considered by many to be one of the best FUE surgeons in the world. He has numerous before & after videos up on youtube that all show amazing results. Check 'em out! Looks great! I have had 3 surgeries with Dr. Lorenzo (most recent was on 7/5 & 7/6) and have been thrilled with my first two (the third surgery is only a week old).....my yields I would guess have always been in the high 90%'s and his work is completely natural......you are gonna be thrilled with your results in another 6 or 7 months. Based on your experience how long do you think it will take for the line between the implanted hair and native hair to blend together. I'm quite liking the skinhead look from the front but I've got a bit of a crop circle look going on top at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Arrie Posted July 13, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2017 Lorenzo, still one of the best, if not the best, bravo. looks super clean as usual You only live once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member farmcat Posted July 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2017 Sorry, just seeing this now.....I think everybody is different but I usually only start seeing growth around 4 months....it usually starts out as fine/ baby like hair.....by 6 months I usually see significant growth that is blending in well with my native hair.

Regular Member Sensorite Posted July 15, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2017 Here's an update on my current progress: mid shed - I'm hoping that the hairs I'm losing are grafted ones (temporary loss) and not native hairs going into shock (permanent loss). I can't be sure since I didn't wear my hair at this length before. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sensorite Posted November 29, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2017 Approaching the 6 month/halfway point. Here are some before/after photos from a side angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sensorite Posted November 29, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 29, 2017 Growth was a very gradual process. I read that a lot of people experience a sudden flourish during the fourth month, but my increased coverage has been at a more consistent slow and steady pace. I'm very pleased with the progress thus far. My only concern is a small area on the back of my head where the transplanted hair hasn't quite integrated with the native hair yet and you can see a bit of a line. The photos attached here of the back of the head were taken on months 2, 4 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member secondtryuser Posted December 7, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2017 Brilliant result - you should be very happy. Even if there is no more growth so many guys would be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mikeyhwk Posted December 7, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2017 goddamn, what a beautiful result already and just 6 months in. Im about to hit 6 months in on my crown work from Lorenzo in a week, and it's coming along but the hairs are still on the finer side, hoping to see them thicken up and really start covering some real estate. What was your coverage value on this post op? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
