Those of us who are starting out on our HT journey really need to know who are the good surgeons producing quality results like yours. I will, probably before I reach my 12 months post procedure.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted January 25, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2019 Just wanted to post a photo of my donor area from my 7th month post procedure mark for those that might be interested. Please note the lighting isn’t the best and the photo was done in portrait mode as well as the fact that I have salt and pepper hair and grey/white hairs don’t show up well.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted January 30, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 7.5 months post FUE procedure. So..my hair has always been slightly wavy and wirey...so I’ve decided to start using a good natural conditioner after a shampoo since now I have some hair and it seems to be helping tame it a bit.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted January 30, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 7.5 months post FUE procedure (different lighting/background) Mid-scalp and crown need density to improve so hoping that happens over the next few months, I haven cut the hair on top since October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 10, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2019 Almost 8-months post FUE procedure Thought i’d take and post a photo of my hair straight after a shower, slicked back, in harsh lighting. It’s getting longer and I’ve buzzed my sides because they grow faster until I get to the barber since the hair mid scalp is a bit see thru still so hoping for more density, thickening and improvement in the next few months.

Senior Member Westview Posted February 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 Looks good. How many days did the 5,000 grafts FUE surgery take, and who was your surgeon?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 17, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks! Over 2-days. I’ll post which clinic as I get closer to my final results or sooner if I feel much more improvement and am satisfied with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 @CosmoKramer Congratulations on your results. Looking at your pre HT photos you really have come a long way. How were the 5000 grafts distributed over your scalp? Were grafts planted in your crown, if so how many? I think that not naming the Doctor/clinic has created the opposite affect to what you intended. Instead of concentrating on your results, everybody seems to be asking regarding the Doc/clinic.

I think 1,500 grafts were placed in the crown if I recall, the rest in the frontal and mid area. Haha, seems so :) thanks, will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that I’m afraid to disclose my doctor, I just want my photo updates and progress/results to speak for themselves first and foremost, as I feel that’s what everyone should judge moreso that any particular ‘technique’ or ‘method’ or ‘tools’ or ‘surgeon’, I do plan to update and mention my doc as I get close to my 1-year mark or as close to the point where I feel I’m completely happy/satisfied beforehand as I’m not even at the 8.5 months yet, as I’m still seeing slight improvements here and there.

Clearly, people are curious and your information could help them make a decision. But to each their own, i just dont understand it. Yes I have had a HT, I plan to post the results soon.

I wanted to ask if you are taking any supplements or medication? Thanks man! Yours as well! Checked out your thread and I gotta say amazing results for your 6months already. Yes, I do take supplements, I try and take daily: Biotin/MSM/Multi-Vitamin/Clean grass-fed whey protein (post workout)/recently started taking Nettle Root extract capsules for its anti-DHT properties/and I try to eat healthy. I used to take Finasteride but got annoying sides. Oh and just like to add no minoxidil or Nizoral at all. How about you? Take any supplements and medication?

I want to stop fin and look for other healthy options to control DHT. I was watching those youtube videos where they tell that there are certain foods that can help controlling DHT. I wonder if anyone here on this forum tried that. Looks like your supplements are working well of you. I might try taking Nettle root extracts too. Do you buy them online?

Yeah, the biotin & MSM just really helps speed up hair growth but don’t think it helps against genetic hair loss. Hmm I haven’t seen those on food to control DHT but sounds interesting. Thanks, yeah they seem to be helping. Yes, I purchase NOW brand Nettle Root Extact (not nettle leaf) on Amazon pretty inexpensive and in my opinion i think it better and possibly more effective than Saw Palmetto. Here is a link to an article on how Nettle Root helps with DHT if you’d like to check out: https://www.livestrong.com/article/271267-how-nettle-root-works-for-hair-loss/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 22, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2019 Found this great clip by Dr’s Feller & Bloxham explaining “slow growers” with a great patient example, thought I’d share it for those that might be concerned or stressing out about their growth.

Raphael84 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Great educational video. Thanks @CosmoKramer We all want a quick fix and want to be in that percentage of slow growers, but Dr Feller wisely says, it is the end result that matters. I hope a few of the other guys who's posts I have read recently get the opportunity to see this. It may put their mind at ease a little and allow them to relax somewhat! 1 Patient Advisor for Dr. Bisanga - BHR Clinic ian@bhrclinic.com - BHR YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcH4PY1OxoYFwSDKzAkZRww I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 24, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just a short 8 months and 10-days update, noticing texture improvement as my hair grows longer (trying to get that pompadour style now 😂) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
