I agree that the level of aftercare described and shown here on the forum is top notch. I think if you're still seeing some additional improvement since the last photos, you're likely going to be in a position to reach your goals even if it does require another operation. I know it would be ideal to have that home run result on the first go, but since both you and the doctor are committed to getting you to a result you can both be satisfied with you are going to be just fine. It may simply take a bit longer than initially expected. I applaud you for taking a step back to evaluate your situation as calmly as possible. I'm sure it's a bit distressing but that big picture mindset is really important for this sort of thing since it's a lifelong struggle. I'm looking forward to your next update and hoping that you'll keep us in the loop all the way to your expected result. Thanks very much. I will keep you updated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed Dr Ferreira about my concerns and we both agreed i would update him every month until the 10 month mark. To be quite honest, he was actually happy i made a post on here. Each month i show him photos and videos if how its going and he analyses it. His after care is actually very good as he does care and wants the patient to be happy. Thats the feeling i am getting anyway. A free of charge touch up is offered if the result did not meet the expectations. Not many clinics offer that. So, an update. Its been 8 months and yes there has been some improvement but i would like to wait until the final result has been achieved before i show more photos. I would have expected more coverage at this stage especially in the frontal area but i will wait the course before making any judgements. It looks better than it did at 6 months, thats for sure. I do believe i will need a touch up and am sure that will give me what i want. Furthermore i know dr Ferreira will want the desired result probably more than me. Ill keep you all updated and thank you for showing interest in my post. Thanks for keeping us updated 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member SD1984 Posted June 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2021 What is the usual reasoning behind these semi failure transplants? Is it surgeon errors, bad post op care by the patient, or just bad growth luck by the patient? a combo of some if not all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ajamilo Posted June 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted June 23, 2021 From the pictures that is posted you can see that his extraction and donor management is amazing. Only that is win win situation. The touch up will probably do the trick and give you the result you wanted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ittiaz1 Posted July 29, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2021 Hi guys I will wait until the full 12 months before posting new pics. I feel that would be ideal as a lot of guys in here have said to wait for the full 12 months. I do believe a touch up will do the trick. Thanks for your support guys. Really appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ML488 Posted August 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 11, 2021 Would really love to see a few new pics as it has been 10 months. Usually not much new growth in between 10 and 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ML488 Posted October 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2021 Still really would have liked to see how much it filled in after a year. The density in the implants from the look of the post op photos wasn't that crazy so I wasn't too surprised by the lack to density at 6 months, but I agree with others that it appeared to have been weak growth overall. I wonder what went wrong exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ittiaz1 Posted May 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Hi all Sorry for the very late reply. Life has been hectic for me recently (in a Good way ) Well, I had my touch up procedure with Dr ferreira in Nov 22. So it's been coming to nearly a year and a half since then. And wow, what a difference the touch up made. I am literally over the moon with my hair now. It's all filled up and I can just let it grow long or cut it short, can do lots of different styles that I haven't done in years (41 now, and for 20 years it was one style, shirt and combed down) . All my worries were addressed and I can honestly say I'm so grateful for the touch up procedure. I must add, from about month 10 after my first procedure the implanted hair was still growing and even so, Dr Ferreira booked me in as soon as possible so he could address my worries. He added more to the front, and the temporal peaks. Overall, I really am so happy with the outcome and even though I haven't got any pics of my donor area, not a single barber I go to, stops and looks closely at the donor area. I have to tell them I've had a HT and they then look closely and realise I have, otherwise they would never have known. That just shows the skill used by Dr Ferreira. Even though I was not happy 6 months after first transplant, I should have exhibited more patience as by month 10 it was looking good, but Dr ferreira still had me in and did a touch up and made it much better. He really is a artist in this field. I love my fuller hair, the hair line look so natural, and the temporal peaks look really good. I hear he's booked up all the way to end of 2024. Just shows how much in demand the man is. I have attached some photos, not great but let me know if you want to see more I'll take some and send them. First 4 are before any hair transplant ever took place. Photos 5&6 are day after touch up. Rest of the photos are from a variety of times from 7 months onwards. You can see I can push the front up like a quiff , and also where I have cut it short. Last one was today. Need a hair cut !!

Regular Member duckling Posted May 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2023 Amazing results after the touch up no doubts about that. Hairline is pretty dense as you can have a quiff now. But can you post any pre touch up pics along with graft count. Because the grafts used in touch up looks a lot. It looks like a complete 2nd procedure.
