Regular Member doctoroctopus Posted June 28, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2019 5 Month Update: Hair continues to thicken and get longer. Still very pleased with result. Below I've attached several photos with different lightings. In the second one my hair is wet under direct light and the transplanted hair is still barely noticeable. I have also attached a photo at the end of my pre-transplant state just to give some comparison (I know for some it's not a big difference but for me it's huge). Will do another update in August when I get a nice camera phone. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous how much my confidence has gone up since doing it. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. For the first time I'm not devoting 50% of my daily energy thinking about hair loss. Edited June 29, 2019 by doctoroctopus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mikeyhwk Posted July 2, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 2, 2019 Great result already. Congrats. If I could ask a question, did the dr give you any indication as to your total donor supply and can we see your donor now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the exact numbers, but I think he said somewhere around 4K grafts remaining as I have pretty thick donor. HD Photo Update I just got a new phone so, as promised here are some higher quality pictures. I'm interested to know your guys' opinions on my exposed hairline photos and the single to double ratio of grafts.

I live in Taiwan so I just did them cheap at a local hospital here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member doctoroctopus Posted July 28, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hey guys, quick 6 month update. Just got a really short cut and loving it. Never could have pulled this off with my pre-transplant hairline. Here's a picture in direct sunlight and two more from a distance(front and side). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I wasn't expecting it to be this dense at 6 months. I think it's a combination of a great job by the surgeon (high graft survival) plus thick donor.

Alekzander Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Very nice results, i'm searching for a good hair transplant surgeon, i don't want it to be cheap but not expensive also, i am looking for one that does personally the surgery and i stumbled upon your story and i am really impressed.. I will send him some pictures this days too see what he thinks... Could you please tell me what was the total cost, how much did you pay for the plane, how much for the hotel and how much did the surgery cost ? If you don't mind and are willing to share of course, i would really appreciate it... And also are you using something like Propecia or Minoxidil ? Thanks in advance and congrats it looks very very very good and natural, enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance and congrats it looks very very very good and natural, enjoy ! Thanks! I paid 2 Euro per graft, so the total cost of the transplant was 2 X 2,200 = 4,400 Euro. The prices may have gone up since I went though. I paid around $1,000 USD for a return plane ticket from Asia. For the hotel, I found an AirBnB by myself for around 30 Euro per night near the clinic. I stayed for 5 nights, so 30 X 5 = 150 Euro. I'm not using any medication as I got side effects from finasteride. I understand the risks of this and am willing to get more transplants down the line to combat future hair loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to have another one in 10 years if needed than suffer daily sides from hormonal altering drugs, i have the same mindset !

Legit my life, can't remember a time where I wasn't legitimately thinking about hairloss all day, every day. Congrats on your surgery mate, it looks incredible!
