Btw. I think you might benefit from skin fade? I just went to a barber who did skin fade on my donor and because the skin is quite pale, scar tissue is almost identical color, so it's literally undetectable. Thank you for your kind words @Rolandas I hope your well mate 👍 I never thought about it like that I assumed anything lower than a number 1 guard and you’d be able to see the scar pattern but I might give it a few weeks and give that a try whats the worst that could happen eh? Haha all the best man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted July 5, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2020 Your donor looks good even shaved down. Your coverage looks real good for 3k grafts for the large area you had done, could you use more density, yes,....but you still have 6-9 plus more months for more progress. 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to try a skin fade next time I go to the barbers like you see how it looks I’m not holding my breath because I’ve got quite dark skin but it’s worth a shot in my book.

Senior Member Rolandas Posted August 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2020 Donor looks much better! It start to fill in nicely, crown has good whorl. Next few months should give you more density for sure! 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Still thinking of going back next year for the crown doing unless this finasteride and minox help get it back to what it used to be.

Senior Member Bigjab Posted September 21, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2020 8 MONTH 1 WEEK UPDATE!! im a little behind this update I’ve had surgery on my shoulder so running a week behind. Meds still the same although I have decided to start using minoxidil once a day as I was forgetting to apply later in the day so I just do it once now upon waking. I’d like to hear your opinions guys I’m happy with the growth all though I’m worried about the donor on my sides it’s looking over harvested imo once grown to a certain length and beyond. The crown seems to be looking better all though I’m not getting my hopes up too much. What do you think chaps? 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rolandas Posted September 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted September 21, 2020 Sides usually have less density than occipital area, but it might be taken a bit more than should have. I think you can try to shave it down to skin fade. From my experience and seeing couple more people it looks like if you have fair skin like myself, skin fade will not show scars that well (ofc skin fade should be low and slowly increasing in length when going up). I think you can top up with another HT and it will overall look quite good. Ofc it looks like you're a bit on a slower grower side, so you will have more thickening to come. Don't do any decisions until at least 12 months. 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Thank you for your reply bud and I’m not sure a skin fade would suit me I tried the 0.5 fade last time and could see all the scars you might not be able to tell in these photos but I’ve actually got quite dark skin naturally. But yes it defo does look better shaved down so maybe a number 2 next time and yes I believe I’m a slow grower hopefully I get some thickening over the next few months fingers crossed 🤞 I have been contemplating going back next year for a top up so I will leave it until 12 months like you say before I make my mind up.

Senior Member Bigjab Posted October 15, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) 9 MONTH UPDATE!!! meds all the same! Overall I’m over the moon with the result considering where I started from although I most definitely will be going back for a second session. What are your opinions chaps? How many grafts do you think I’ll need? Only got 2500 grafts left in donor by dr Demirsoy’s calculations so eugenix is also a possibility to use so beard grafts. Drop me message guys let me know what you think? 👍 Edited October 15, 2020 by Bigjab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted October 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yes dude tap in to that awesome beard if you want to add density to the mid scalp. I agree that Eugenix could be a option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rolandas Posted October 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2020 Looks really good! God if you compare yourself just 3 months ago it's such a huge improvement! Indeed Eugenix is an outstanding choice (although only going for the most expensive package which is around 2.9€/graft). You've got really strong beard under your chin, so this will give you a huge boost in mid scalp as a filler as it's quite thick. Of course you still need to wait until 12 months and beyond as you will keep seeing more improvement, but in the end I think around 2000 grafts will be a nice touch to finish it off. Good luck! 1 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Thank you for the kind words my friend👍 I will wait until 12 months and then look at booking in again with dr Demirsoy again or eugenix to use some beard grafts maybe im not 100% sure which one yet. Dr Demirsoy recommend 1000 grafts in the crown and however many else he can extract without over harvesting to go in the mid scalp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 18, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted October 18, 2020 Bigjab I've just followed your thread. From where you started you are right on track! Everything needs time to heal and settle. In regards to your crown I think it looks really good and I certainly wouldn't be thinking about touching it at all at this stage. You still have a quite a few more months ahead of you for further growth and density coming through. Definitely stay on the meds religiously as you have been doing so. I look forward to your monthly updates! Congratulations and all the best!
