To be honest I think it’s very good at this stage. Maybe not perfect/home run, but good. And there is still PLENTY of time left. Usually around the 8-9 month mark is when it all comes together. You were basically slick bald in front aside from a very small thin forelock remaining. If I were you I’d be pumped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) I am very happy. The hairline is on point. Obviously there is some density issue on one side. Another positive the fin and minox has definitely had an effect on my nape. Before and after: I might add microneedling.

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted December 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2021 I recall you being worried about the asymmetry in the beginning. How do you feel about it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spaceguy Posted December 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2021 Looks great for month 6! I also had HT at dr.Bruno one month ago, now i'm in ugly ducking phase and hate it, most of the hairs has shed.....waiting phase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sitries1 Posted December 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) I’m not to sure what your concerns were over the symmetry of it. It looks bang on to me and symmetry is something that really bothers me - micro irregularities are good but I want mine to be symmetrical and the centre point to be centre of my head. I see way to many transplants that are lop sided and look awful IMO. I think I’m in safe hands with Dr Ferreira but I will outline my concerns to him about it before the hairline is designed.

digi23 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Looks pretty much perfect for 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ML488 Posted December 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2021 I see what you mean about that left side. Definitely not sprouting full growth there which is a shame. Other than that things look very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Today I noticed at the barbers when they showed the back there was a light line round my my head. Upon further investigation it looks like too much donor hair loss. It actually looks a lot worse in real life.Same at other side than the photos.

Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 I think it was the infection. I knew it was going to do this. It felt so painful and angry and my fear of hair loss there came true. I’ll upload it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 I had the infection for about 2 months. Big angry boils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 Around 2 weeks. What annoyed me at the time was the blazeyness of it all. Not getting in contact with me for days after when a few times I raised serious concerns. The way it looked and felt I had a feeling this was going to happen. It was for a good 2 months too. There was actually no advice. He just asked what my gp said. My gp was asking me what the surgeon would advise. Was a nightmare tbh. I showed him photos of the hair loss after and he said it should grow back. Is this really worth the near 8k. Hmm I don’t think so. I know a few folk that have paid a 1/4 of what I paid for and it looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big boils in the donor area? Also looking at your post from Dec 4th your donor did have some light patch. I would have thought that spraying saline on the boils prevent it from progressing or even prevent them if sprayed all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 Well I used all the saline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ML488 Posted December 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2021 I would take a breather. The result at the hairline itself looks pretty damn good. I know the density looks off but you did take it in harsh lighting. Are you happy with it? As far as the infection goes I really wonder if that had anything to do with the poor regrowth back there. At the end of the day it healed up. Could just be a case of slight overharvesting instead, no? This is why I'd like to see a photo of the donor post op. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Min12 Posted December 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 Do a 0.5 mid or high fade. That should 100% camouflage the difference. If the hair is longer then the lighter patches will stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Min12 Posted December 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 Also looking at you December 4th post it seems life you had slightly lighter patches in the back before and after the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s harsh lighting but it seems that all the mirrors I look into have that lighting. So I guess in my head lots of folk are seeing it that way. I have to brush it down so no one would see. Not really ideal. Isn’t there supposed to be 50 hairs per cm2. Definitely not that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sitries1 Posted December 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 Get SMP if it bothers you mate but it’s def not over harvesting by Dr Ferreira. All his donor areas are exceptional and no sign of over harvesting in your post op pics. SMP would solve the problem well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member deeside81 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 It’s the infection I think. Just a bit of a worry if I’ll likely want more density to the front. Might lack enough donor for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted December 23, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2021 Can you please post a photo of the donor area post surgery? Do you have any pictures of when it was infected? Quick question that maybe you or someone else can answer. How was the terrain in Espinho? I just had ankle surgery and I'm wondering if it's hilly? I visited several months ago but I took uber to his office and didn't explore anything. I know Porto is very bad but didn't see Espinho much. Sorry if I'm supposed to start a new thread. Just figured several people looking at this could provide a quick response and not take over the thread. Appreciate it 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
