Regular Member ajbd069 Posted February 11, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2021 Dear Community, this forum helped me a great deal in my decision making process but also in making myself knowledgeable around the whole topic of HT. Therefore I wanted to give something back an let you participant in my journey, starting from the procedure I underwent at Dr. B's clinic end of January. About myself 31 years old Hair loss started at around 20 I would say and progressed really slow towards the status you now see on my pre-op pics Never took any medication, but have now started with Minox 5mg daily Graft breakdown 1 FU: 402 2 FUs: 1,298 3 FUs: 1,200 4 FUs: 77 Total: 2,977 at avg. 2.32 hair / graft I'm not going into detail w.r.t. the day of the procedure and the procedure itself as I thing this is pretty well know by now. Having said that, I'm of course very happy to answer any questions should you have any! What else to say? I'm obviously very happy and excited with this step and am looking forward to the coming months. In terms of healing and first days post-OP, I can say that I never had any pain (didn't even need the painkillers the clinic gave me with the after care package). 90% of the scrabs came off at day 9. My donor healed up quite nicely and looked pretty much back to normal at around day 7 I wanna say. Below you will find my pre-OP pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ajbd069 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks all. I'll likely share the next update at the 1 month mark. I'll also keep you posted regarding the 5mg Minox as well. Yes indeed, Maa, very similiar. I've been following your case closely. I feel like your status even looked a bit more dense at the 10 day mark. That's maybe the additional ~300 grafts. Your hair look great at the recent 4 months update you posted. I'd be thrilled to have that status 4 months in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Think it is the same dense because we Got the same amount of hairs because your graft count is a bit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted May 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2021 Damn, Bisanga patients are always early growers 😁 can already tell this is going to be a great result. Did you not have much shedding? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ajbd069 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 Considering I was slick baled, I would say I kept a considerable amount of grafts luckily. Probably something in the 20% area, but no clue 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 is looking good for such a early stage ! Look forward to seeing your next update 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ajbd069 Posted May 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2021 Below an update just shy of 4 months with a fresh haircut. First two pictures with blow dried hair. Last 3 incl. some styling paste. Very last one is taken from the same spot as the above pictures (in front of a window). The other 4 are in the bathroom - two of which in direct sunlight. Happy to get your thoughts. I think it is coming in quite nicely already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
