The hairline design and temple points in particular are very transformative. Honestly, i would go so far as to say, if i put a photo of you pre-op from the first procedure, directly post-op and now post-op on your 2nd procedure, you look like different people. Genuinely that much is how the new hairline design has changed your look imo. I can't wait to see it grow in and i think you 100% have got the best treatment and attention one could have hoped for. It should be an amazing result. Your temple points are now more significantly bolstered than what i had. 330 grafts on my right temple and 400 on my left so it will be amazing to see what your near 1100 grafts just on the temple points will look like. Wishing you a speedy recovery and also a great R&R time in India Armen! Thank you Kamran, means a lot coming from you! A part of me slightly regretted going conservative the first time around. Being, like you said, highly transformational, I'm happy that my circle of friends and family are not seeing such a drastic change in me. Last thing I want is not being recognized by my own mother, haha!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 720 grafts transplanted for the temples and i thought that i did a lot, but 1100 total? You became LEGENDARY member of this forum Hairline looks epic, during your HT journey you decided to chose more agressive approach, but this is good, i approve. However as Uncle Ben once said, with great power(hairline) comes great responsibility. So leaving dutasteride behind is not an option in my opinion. Dutasteride once a week is minimum in this situation. You have to reduce DHT in scalp to maintain upcoming superb effect. This is not paranoia, Dutasteride is clinically proven to be better then finasteride for hairloss. One thing that you can consider is to adding topical dutasteride to your regime instead of only pills approach. I wish you the best result Haha! I still can't believe it. Thought the 1st procedure was amazing, but I feel like I gotta pinch myself on this one, LOL!!! I agree about Dutasteride. Trust me, abandoning it is not an option. Just have to figure out how frequently I'm going to take it. Until I do, once a week it will be for sure. Maybe adding dutasteride topically twice a week would the best way and just avoid the oral. Still have to think about it. Bottom line, covering all basis is key, and that you are 100% right about! Your feedback is always spot on @GeneralNorwood!

Maybe Armen can elaborate on that. I guess Dr. Sethi became so skilled(level 99) that he can create grafts with his mind power. @GeneralNorwood, you always bring up great points and always crack me up all at the same time! 🤣I honestly could not believe it myself. Everything looks so clean and untouched. The way Eugenix explained was that they only took multi hair grafts for adding density to both the back hairline and into the frontal 3rd. So at the most it was around 800 grafts or so and that's a pretty small amount to take in the dominant part of the donor. The rest were harvested from bottom nap of neck and behind ears for the hairline singles, and temple singles. I suppose since those areas outside the dominant donor are a little less conspicuous, it has a much lower impact on the donor visually.

Senior Member MazAB Posted October 20, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Day 12 - Wanted to be sure to get some shots and quickly post today, as I've already started to see some shedding begin. Everything is healing nicely. Much better healing this time around than the 1st go for sure. I'm so happy I didn't second guess myself on having a 2nd procedure. This without question was the best decision I ever made in this whole journey. I'm so happy with the new design and I feel a major change in how I look and how my face is framed. Honestly have that same ecstatic feeling this time as I did last year except this time it feels more like a completed job with all the extras that I was looking for. And to be able to share it with @Zoomster, @Bandit90, @SLA, meant the world to me, and an experience that I will never forget.

Looking great so far Armen and i definitely think now with the post-op 1st headwash all done, it definitely helps properly show the framing to be expected and it looks great. Those temple points are looking great too and donor areas looking well maintained too. Should improve further over time too. Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member MazAB Posted November 7, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 7, 2022 One month update: Hi everyone. With the majority of the shedding behind me, I’m officially in the ugly phase heading into month 2. The biggest change this time around is the addition of oral minoxidil. As a reminder, I'm taking Dutasteride once a week, Finasteride 6 days a week, and just started 2.5mg of Oral Minoxidil daily. I will soon switch to 1.25mg of oral minoxidil during the day and 5% topical minoxidil at night once I feel my scalp is ready at the 5 or 6 week mark. Everything seems pretty normal this time around. Much cleaner scalp all around comparatively to my 1st procedure. Just some minor redness right at the hairline which is to be expected. I've listed my current daily supplement stack for the hair. Only new additions are NAC and Pea Protein. Benefits of NAC for the hair: Helps remove free radicals and toxins that prevent healthy tissue growth. Helps also to regrow nerves attached to the bulb of the hair, as well as detoxifying the scalp overall. Benefits of Protein Powder for the hair: Very hard to get enough protein in your regular diet, so adding a little more protein in powder form is the best way to meet that requirement. Hair is made up of protein, and a deficiency may lead to premature shedding. Having high amounts of protein on a regular basis can extend the anagen growth phase of the hair. Also, post transplant, more protein does help assist quite a bit in wound healing. Daily dosages: Collagen - 12g Hyaluronic Acid - 200mg D3 - 5000 IU MSM - 1000mg Beef Liver capsules - 1500mg Omega 3 (Fish Oil) - 3750mg Pea Protein - 33g NAC - 1200mg Niacin - 500mg 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has helped big time for me in that category! I will say though, that if none of these supplements I take benefit the hair, I'd still take them because of the vast benefit in so many other areas of overall body health and wellness.
