Seems Mwamba was a good choice. Here is a question for you... You are obviously British, as am I, and you have obviously chosen to be upfront about your procedure, which is cool, though not something i personally would feel comfortable doing as and when i get a procedure... In the UK, as i'm sure you know, there is quite a strong culture with guys of 'banter' or 'ribbing', whatever you wanna call it lol. Mates can be brutal as fuck in terms of joking at others expense... So, my question is, have you encountered any of this yet, and if so, how do you handle it...? What response do you give? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted October 3, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2021 I’ve kept it away from my main socials etc but if anyone stubbles across it they stubble across it … a lot of my closest mates know and have been really supportive about it .. I think if your mates are good mates then they will be behind you… people will always make remarks and comments about whatever you do in life but fuck em… it’s your life and choice and I don’t care much for negative opinions neither do I let them bother me too much… ive had a lot of bad luck recently with family issues so nothing as trivial as people poking fun can bother me 😌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Prof101 Posted October 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 @captaincalicoCongrats. Did you see Dr. Mwamba in person before doing the surgery? I think I saw somewhere a picture of him taking detailed measurements of the scalp, but can't find the link anymore. Did you do that before deciding to get a HT? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted October 9, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 9, 2021 Hi yes I had a mini consultation and we went through the design of the hairline and the distancing etc he measured everything with a tape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted October 11, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2021 It’s now 4 and a half months … it appears to have slowed a little … not a huge amount of change since my last post… although it is getting longer ! And the crown is closing up which I’m happy about …. I’m just curious as to what happened to you all ? What months did it really start to take off ? Disclosure I am not worried I know it will grow im just at that inpatient part of the process now haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mustang Posted October 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) For me it started always at 3 months and 2 weeks on every surgery, all 15 of them. The only time it started a little sooner was when I used a Laser Cap (shows that it actually does something) From that moment I would say it starts gradually improving. You will see a big change from month 5 to 6, this is very the biggest change happens and then another moderate change from month 6 to 8. From month 8 to 10 you will see very modest changes but still thickening occurs. Just let it grow for another 2 months and you'll see Edited October 11, 2021 by mustang 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @captaincalico Incredible change in appearance, how does it feel to look in the mirror and see yourself with hair again after so much time suffering? In such a short time the change is incredible, looking forward to seeing you in month 12. Positive comments from your family and friends? Is your crown getting better with medication? Congratulations and move on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member blackislback Posted October 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2021 Well done, and really big changes when check your pre-op and actual photos after 4 months, growth of hair is great, and probably will be just better in following months... Wish you to be good as you imagined and fill your expectations . And 6-8 months will be even better to see progress, results . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations and move on! Thank you ! It’s both amazing and also unbelievable at the same time ! I have high hopes for 12 months in ! Everyone can’t believe it and are super happy for me as you can imagine ! Crown is closing up nicely yes … still early days on that but if I can gain a little more back then we can use those extra grafts elsewhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
