Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2021 11 hours ago, RubenH said: Hi guys, Hope my message finds you all well. Yesterday, I reached the 4th month since my procedure. At month 3, I started noticing some new growing. This growing has been constant ( or exponential, to be more accurate) for the next weeks until today. I try not to pay much attention to the growing, but looking at my previous pictures, it's pretty awesome how everything evolves since the process was triggered. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with how is everything looking so far at this early stage. I keep taking twice minox/day and 0.5 mg finasteride per day as well. I will keep you updated next month! Stay safe! I’m literally shocked. SHOCKED! This is 4 months. I’m amazed, Dr. Gabel strikes again! 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Regular Member RubenH Posted April 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good morning everyone, Here is the 5 months update after my FUT+FUE procedure with Dr. Gabel. Any complaints at all, everything is going very well. In the first months I had a bit tightness in the back, which is normal considering that this was my second FUT surgery. But now it seems to be totally recovery in terms of laxity. Since the last update, pretty much all the transplanted area have gotten thicker. Specially happy on how the growth in the crown is progressing, considering that only 1,066 grafts were transplanted there. Originally, our plan was 1,500/2,000 for the crown, but the day of the procedure, Dr. Gabel preferred not to take the risk to deplete my donor area; "I don't want to fix a problem creating a new one" in his own words. I tried to take pictures in different light environments. I think it's looking great for 5 months, although I'm pretty sure it would look much better with a haircut (that I honestly need 😊) ps. As requested by the user "yes please", I tried to find some pictures before/after my first procedure 7-8 years ago with Dr. Rahal. Unfortunately, those pictures were stored in an old phone and I could not find them easily. Sorry about that! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 18, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 18, 2021 This is looking insane at only five months.

Regular Member RubenH Posted May 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 Good morning everyone, I'm glad to share with all you guys the half way (theoretically) of the journey: 6 months update after my FUT+FUE procedure with Dr. Gabel. Again, I tried to take pictures in different light environments: living room (natural environment light), close to the window (sun light) and bathroom (harsh light). Personally, I'm happy as it is and my expectations are covered. So any improvements in the next few months would be like an "extra" to me. Keep doing minoxidil 5% two times a day (but very little amount on each application) and 0.5 mg finasteride per day. Have a nice weekend! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted May 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 This was already looking superb at 5 months. And now at just 6 months it already looks like a final result. Just stunning 🤩 Insane to think you have another 6 months 😯 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you’ll be set up pretty well for your age with this HT. Did you stop Fin for 2-3 years due to side effects? If so, what dose were you previously at that caused the sides?

I just stopped because I'm not very good having regular habits and, at some point, I just gave up. Now I'm trying to get used to it and do it regularly first thing in the morning.

These are some pictures from today. I guess I will stop doing the monthly updates since everything look more or less stable by now. Instead, I will do an update every other month or so.
