Cool. I'll check out your profile for pictures. Its starting to kind of kick in now. HRBR is expensive but actually if you adjust Saifi's prices to the cost of living in Poland you'll find his prices are high too. To save €5,000 in Poland takes the same amount of time as saving €16,000 in Ireland, based on wages and the cost of living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think HRBR has been there since 03/04, so by now they have a lot of experience too. The 9 month waiting list is interesting. I'd like to know what his waiting list is normally like. I was able to get a date within a month but that's probably because Covid-19 has effected appointments. Can you link me your story or some pics, either here or via PM please? Its great to know you've been delighted with your result, it gives me hope. I asked about the prospect of a second procedure. He said I shouldn't need one any time soon because there was not much thinning in my native hair (at least not yet anyway). Also I had started finasteride a few months prior to surgery, and now I have added Regaine to the mix, so I'm hoping my hair will stay strong for another few years. He did say I might need another hair transplant some time in the future as most patients need at least 2, but he said I probably won't need to consider that in the immediate future. I was aware of the protocol concerning 2+ transplants anyway, but like yourself I'm hoping it won't be neccesary until I'm 45+ or thereabouts. I'll be 31 this year.

Senior Member Rossybop Posted April 10, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2021 4 month update: New hairs have definitely become quite perceptible over the past few weeks. Depending on what angle you see them from they can look quite obvious or not so obvious. Generally though at this stage I would go as far as saying there has been a small cosmetic improvement. However there is still a pink tint in the transplanted areas, I am wondering when this will fade? Although the pink hue is often not very obvious (depending on what light I am in). The pictures don't capture the fine details very well here so I must apologize for that! If you look closely and feel the hairs a lot of them are quite thin. I am hoping many of the new hairs are still behind the scalp because there's not actually a huge number of new hairs in bloom. I guess this is when the magic should really start happening so hopefully there's an awesome transformation from this point on. My hair is purposely not styled in this pic, and purposely brushed forward. I'm looking forward to the barbers opening again so I can get some cool styles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rossybop Posted April 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thanks for your input guys. Its reassuring to hear that it seems to be on track. I was getting a bit worried that I might be slowing early signs of limited growth, but if you guys say its looking well for this stage I'll take your word for it and forget about it again until next month.

Senior Member Rossybop Posted April 13, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2021 Fingers crossed John. I'm nearly sure I've seen guys show strong signs of new life at 3-4 months, but yeah I guess you're right, its still fairly early in the process. I'll try bear some extra patience. Thanks.

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 13, 2021 Of course you will see some early growers, but remember they they are the exception and not the rule. The end result is going to be the same 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rossybop Posted May 10, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2021 5 month update: There seems to have been progress in the last month however the left side still seems very flat as you can see. Overall the results are making a somewhat cosmetic improvement depending on which way the hair is styled. The right side is becoming pleading at this stage but its still a bit thin and a bit gappy on the hairline. The left side is worrying me a bit. I'm hoping there will be much more popping and growing, especially on the left side. As for the sides I'm not sure what to make of them, they seem to be coming along alright but my sides/temporal weren't totally obliterated before surgery so whatever. On a sidenote I think I'm feeling good benefits from using Regained and finasteride, I have no real hair loss at all any more and I'd say maybe even some hair has thickened up a bit. Hopefully things will blossom much more from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rossybop Posted May 10, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2021 Lastly actually, the skin is still a bit pink in the transplanted areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted May 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2021 It's filling in, man! I believe there's more growth on the right side. I think you're doing great at 5 months, not bad so far. Btw, I can't see any pinkness, but I wish I had yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit worried about the left side because it looks and feels a bit flat and when you look closely its quite sparse, although yeah the right side is becoming somewhat pleasing, so if the right side gets much better at least that will be satisfying. In real life under certain lights you can defo see a pink shade all over the recipient area, particularly on the hairline. I'll look yours up now 😛 I'm wishing you well and cheering you on here bro.

Do you think? I feel as if the left side is actually very thin and sparse, and also, I'm not really seeing many new hairs pricking out amongst the hairs that have already sprouted. Should I expect some more popping in due course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Well that's reassuring, but its also daunting because it means I have to wait such a long time before I can gauge the result. Such a long process requires patience. Hopefully it will improve a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
