In the after pics it is more brown where pre-op it is pitch black. Strong camera flash can have this effect as well as lighting conditions. When transplanted hair first grows in, it often appears with different characteristics to usual, and colour pigment is one of the variables that may look different at first. Some of my grafts grew in white, and later pigmented from roughly the 6 month mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 🙏 I think 2021 is full, but these days with covid I wouldn't be surprised if cancellations do come in, I was actually scheduled for June 2021 but asked to be contacted when cancellation came in and because of covid one came up and I had around 10 days to prepare.

Right, so you managed to get in about 5 months early 👌 nice ! That’s not too bad a waiting list anyway with a top Dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HugoX Posted May 4, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 I don't know the latest waiting list, last time I spoke to Dr Zarev about this was in February and at that time 2021 was basically booked. Btw, after popular demand, I have asked for the immediate post op pictures, I haven't been really interested in those pictures myself but I see many of you are, so I will ask for them 👍. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted May 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 I think you said you originally posted your experience on local forum, right? Which forum is that and are there any other Zarev patients posting their experience there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted May 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 I would also be very interested in hearing more about the results of Zarev's analysis on your hair. Such as hair shaft diameter (microns), FU/cm2, hair/FU, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HugoX Posted May 8, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hi guys, Day 121 update, in couple of the pictures I have combed the hair forward to resemble the previous pictures but I have started to comb my hair up now that it is getting stronger.

Senior Member EvoXOhio Posted May 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2021 Holy crap these results are fantastic, even more considering it’s only been 4 months. You are the definition of an early grower. I can’t wait to see the results at 7-9 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the person saying dont know why before picture look like someone else, are you blind? If you want to get picky just look for my birht mark (or what those red dots are called). Im am 39, turning 40 this year. I have had a hair piece for 14 years, I took off the hair peice day before the surgery so skin is a bit irritated and have not seen the sun for 14 years, and of course there will be differences in the picures as i dont use the same type of camera, same lightning , same distances same zoom, but I am trying to keep it as close to how Dr Zarev took the pictures and with good clear pictures. No medication exept minoxidil mixed with 0.1 finasteride ( I guess that is some sort of medication) I did take one or two immidiate post op picures on day 1 when we were half done but no good quality , didnt think about it honestly and I was so tired. Dr Zarev have those and I have had no need to ask for them. back: I'm blind cause I'm not zeroing in on two borderline imperceptible random red dots on your skull? Wtf? Are you even aware of what you're saying I'm curious how it'll turn out though once the hair matures and darkens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mycroft Posted May 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2021 First patient report from Dr. Zarev I have seen. Even ignoring the outlier high graft cases which are dependent on patient genetics, he seems to be doing good work. This is nice growth for only four months, and I hope you'll keep us updated all the way to the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious25 Posted May 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2021 Looking fantastic for 4 months. This would be considered a good end result for a lot of clinics after 12 months for a first time pass on a NW 6 (not taking into consideration no. of grafts used) so you’re already well ahead of the game! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh absolutely - I wasn’t suggesting you were by any means near the finished product, but was just remarking on the really good coverage you already have at this stage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Prof101 Posted May 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2021 @HugoX Congrats. Fantastic. Question: Are you buzzing the lower sides and back? (about an inch or two around your ears and all he way back). If so why? I wonder whether it is an aesthetic choice due to thinning of donor area. Either way, its looks good. Nothing wrong with it. Also did he tell you your density FU/Cm2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
