Senior Member kirkland Posted March 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2022 @IrishWarriorI wish I had had the chance to meet you since we were at the clinic at the same time. If you go for SMP into the scars, you can't do better than Milena Lardi. Plus it gives you an excuse to go to Milan. Happy for your growth. It's going to thicken up nicely. With some well placed fibers, you will look a whole new warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member IrishWarrior Posted April 18, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 6 MONTH UPDATE Hi all, Just to give you my current update of photos 6 months post surgery with Dr Pradeep Sethi at Eugenix Hair Science. I took this photos shortly after I got out of bed, hence the kind of messy and unstyled appearance. As I mentioned in my previous post from my 5 month update, the current results are a vast improvement to my hair pre-surgery and an improvement was my one expectation. I could be wrong but it is my understanding that 50-60% of transplanted grafts should have sprouted at this stage. I still don't have full coverage and my temple points are still kind of thin, so my daily routine of a small amount of dermmatch with hair fibres helps acheive the illusion of better coverage. My scalp hair is naturally straight but I also find that the majority of the beard grafts that were implanted in my mid scalp and crown seem to have a wirey and wispy appearance (particularly noticeable in the overhead photo and the rear of head photo) which may settle as they mature over the next number of months. I still have not got a hair cut since my surgery last October and despite the length of my hair, my previous FUT scars are still slightly visible from the back without the daily use of concealers (dermmatch, fibres, etc.) so I am undecided as to whether to go with SMP with Milena Lardi at Beauty Medical or to consider a further FUE procedure of grafts into the old FUT scars. This is something for me to consider maybe next year. For my 7 month update, I have promised Dr Pradeep that I will do a video update along with high quality resolution photographs - both of which I will try and upload to here too. Thanks for all the support and kind words too guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Zoomster Posted April 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 All I can say is it keeps getting better and better mate …I’d be inclined to put beard hair into the FUT scars to repair what the previous butcher did to you ..save as much scalp hair as you can only 6 months in on a 12 to 18 months process thanks for sharing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted April 18, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 18, 2022 I didn't actually notice the donor scars when I first scanned through your pictures. It was only from reading Zoomster's reply and then going back and looking again that I noticed. Personally I don't think you've much to worry about with the donor scars, though I appreciate you'll likely feel a lot differently. I don't know how well concealed they could ever really be, and you may end up chasing a phantom trying to get them covered. I think it looks fine as it is personally. The rest of your hair is coming along nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted April 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 This is such an improvement The hairline is perfect, soft, strong and natural. Now that you have the hairline taken care of, you can focus on everything behind it. Definitely consider SMP for the scar Very looking forward to see your progress in the next 3 months sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SLA Posted April 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 Great progress and more to come! You have made such HUGE strides. The next couple of months will show an even greater improvement! Beard grafts already mix in well and will continue to improve over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MazAB Posted April 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Everything looks so natural at the 6 month mark. I do agree with @Zoomster on the FUT scars. Did Dr P suggest beard grafts into the donor scars at any point? If you do take care of that, it would give you more options for different hair styles and potentially going shorter on the sides. Otherwise, it is a vast improvement overall for you! Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal! Edited April 18, 2022 by MazAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mrmane85 Posted April 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 19, 2022 Looking very natural. I think you'll see the full result between 12-18 months like others have mentioned, as this is your 5th surgery so growth may take longer but you'll get there in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use body hair like I did (either from your chest or toilet area like I did.

Hi The Truth, No, my first 4 hair restorations (if you want to call them a restoration) was with a guy called Dr Conor Kiely at Kiely Healthcare based in Cork, Ireland. I heard a lot of rumours after mine that he butchered others too and he seems to have disappeared about 12 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
