I'd say my crown looks like where it was before I went to Belgium. So I'm expecting improvement from here on out. I'm not using DermMatch anymore, so that's how I know it's turned a corner.

Already thinking about a touch-up with Mwamba, since he visits the US frequently. Like they say, what's better than more hair?

Senior Member MazAB Posted January 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2022 Thanks for the update @MachoVato. Looks perfect and with the amount of grafts used here, you can go a lifetime without ever worrying about donor depletion and/or progressive baldness getting the better of you. Congrats brother! Just hit the 4 month mark myself and we are only at the very beginning of our gains! Months 4,5, and 6 will be huge!

No not at all 😂🤣 Thank you, sir! I emailed HLC with my 1 year results, as I told them I would. They replied and said that customers were contacting them with my pictures and asking why I went to Bisanga for my second procedure. Haha! I mean, HLC was a homerun to me. I know I made a great decision going there. And I'm sure they would have done great work on my crown and temples. But I always wanted to go to Bisanga. He really is a specialist. I'll probably go to Mwamba next. Unless Europe opens up, maybe I'll finally get a chance to visit De Freitas. I have a total man-crush on his hairlines! 🤣 Edited January 3, 2022 by MachoVato 2 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MachoVato Posted February 6, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2022 6 Month Update I'm a few days before my 6 month mark, so here's an update on my crown. The crown has turned a corner. It looks looks significantly better than before the transplant (which wasn't terrible, to be honest). The crown will take longer to mature than my hairline, that is normal. So I'm excited about the next 6 months. I'm no longer using Toppik or DermMatch to cover the thinning, especially after the transplant. Truth is, I don't look at the back of my head much any more. 1 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MachoVato Posted April 21, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Month 8 Update Just got a haircut. Crown looking good. I'm able to get a proper haircut now, cut shorter, and it still looks filled in. And temples are fine. I'm thinking I should have added more grafts there. Maybe I should start planning my next transplant for 2023!!
