Regular Member Flash10 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) @CristeroI think you spelled his name wrong unless that's a different surgeon. Assuming it is the same person, it seems like he does great work. I also assume you had it done recently if your are still waiting for pics, so I look forward to following your progress! Hope you have been healing well buddy. Yup, fin definitely isn't a magic cure, but its the best thing we got. And assuming you use it safety with a doctor monitoring your testosterone levels periodically, it's our best shot on having a full head of hair. Money wasn't a big factor to me. I am by no means well off unfortunately, but I view a hair transplant as a lifelong investment, so a bigger expenditure to reduce the risk of being unhappy and increase the chance of success is a no brainer for me. Plus the peace of mind of knowing Dr. Hasson did my ht is really reassuring during the ugly duckling phase . Yeah man, all we can do is try to educate ourselves on this complex topic before making a decision that will affect us for the rest of our lives. All the best bro.

I agree completely with you on the money part. I chose Pekiner for the full manual FUE procedure he's experienced on and for the great patients report I've seen. Also my main target was the crown and I saw him doing an insane crown reconstruction that finally convinced me to choose him. We will see if I took the right decision. Good luck with your journey pal and hopefully you will have a great regrowth and be done with this cross.

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted October 4, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 4, 2020 Flash10, This looks like a home run congratulations. Btw you look a lot better with a "buzzed" short hair cut. You should keep buzzing it or getting shorter hair cuts. They fit your face shape. Good luck!

Senior Member tressful11 Posted October 6, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Great progress so far @Flash10 Can you please tell me how much of the procedure is performed by Dr. Hasson and what parts are performed only by the staff? Also what was the total cost of the procedure? Edited October 6, 2020 by tressful11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Flash10 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hey guys - Sorry for the lapse in time without any update. As most on this forum already know, there isn't much action for a couple months. Here is a pic of what things looked like at the 2 month and 3 month marks. The ugly duckling phase (week 3 to month 2.5) sucked.. but, from then on I have seen some growth. I will likely be posting updates twice a month from now until month 6. Let me know what you boys think.. some days I think it's coming along nicely, others I think I am growing slowly.. any thoughts, good or bad are appreciated guys! Next update will be end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Flash10 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 27, 2021 Month 5 Huge improvement during month 5; still hoping for lots more growth in the coming months. As mentioned before, I am not on minox. Therefore, it makes sense that my timeline is a little delayed relative to results of those who were on minox. Thus, I am optimistic things will continue to improve in the coming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Flash10 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2021 Month 5 - Wet and combed back This is as bad as I can make it look - pretty clear that there is still some room for improvement, but I'm hoping for another great month of growth (fingers crossed).
