Regular Member HumbleMan Posted November 2, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2021 I create this thread to follow my own development, but also in a large extent to inspire and enlighten others who are considering a hair transplant. Since 2019, I have often looked at various forums, reddit and youtube to see results from others, and their experiences with different clinics. With my curiosity and desire to find the clinic that I thought was the best solution for me, I finally found Dr. Bisanga and his clinic a few months ago. This thread will hopefully help someone make the final decision, just like I did when I read and saw countless of other peoples results.In my case, my hair loss is not very extensive, in fact one of Dr. Bisanga's female assistants cracked a joke about my hairline, saying that it was better than hers 😂 I have been on finasteride for the last 3 years, the intention with the hair transplant was and is to rebuild the hairline I had when I was a bit younger (27 years old now). Hopefully I will have the result that I am looking for, which is a hairline with a good density and at the same time natural looking. I had my procedure in Brussels on the 21st of October. I will post pictures regularly.Dr. Bisanga and his team are highly recommended. They are top professionals and you really feel that you are in safe hands with them. 3 days post surgery 10 days post surgery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spaceguy Posted November 2, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 2, 2021 How big was the transplant area and at what density (grafts per cm2)...1700 grafts seems a bit too much for such small area looking at the pics. Just curious, i'm in a lot of calculations for my incoming HT. I plan to lower my hairline by 1cm, hairline is 15cm long so if it is 15cm2 filled with 55grafts per cm2 count goes to 825 grafts....and to fill in previous HT of an area of 20cm2 which i add to it another 600-800 grafts max.

I don have any info on that unfortunately. They did the measurement and desgin of the hairline, it is very individual how many grafts people need when taking into account facial structure, donor area and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 2, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2021 You look like you're gonna have @Maa @Babou1410 type hairline. I wouldn't say 27 is that young, yes you're young, but it's not like you're 20 years old. I'll be following your progress closely, Dr. Bisanga is one of the very best. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Yes exactly, and I'd much rather have a good set of hair in my late twenties instead of late thirties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on your perspective. When you are talking hair, yes 27 is very young. You are to expect a life long continuation and receding hairline. Of course you can hope on hair meds to slow the whole thing down for hopefully a long time. Not sure Bisanga would say anything different, he is a straight shooter Edited November 3, 2021 by Mike10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HumbleMan Posted November 7, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2021 Here we go.... It has been 15 days since surgery, and the last two days the shedding has slowly begun. 15 days post surgery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HumbleMan Posted November 24, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I has been 1 month since surgery and most of the shedding is over. There is almost no hairs shedding when I'm taking a bath now Now I will stop thinking about it and look forward to the progress in the coming months. 1 month post surgery: Edited November 24, 2021 by HumbleMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did this start with you? I've had some when I removed the scabs and than the last 2 days (day 10 and 11) i barely had any. Today I had like 10 with my 2 washes combined. Did you have a similar kind of shed? And can you tell more about when it started to shed (amount of hairs) and how it progressed? Thanks a lot!

From there on and around 10 days forward I did notice a lot of shedding when I took a shower. The amount is hard to say, because I did not count it. But whenever I rubbed my hair my hand was filled with hair as you see in the picture I took. But I don't notice shedding anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HumbleMan Posted December 27, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2021 It's time for the two months update. Not much has changed since last update, other than my hair has grown quite a bit. I'm looking forward to month 3-4, where usually a lot of people see a significant regrowth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HumbleMan Posted January 8, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2022 Question to those of you who have seen a lot of hairtransplant results, is it reasonable to expect this hairline when it's all said and done in 9-10 months? The pictures are from around 10 days post surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Harry Bosch Posted January 8, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2022 Best of luck, man. I am in a similar position to you, and have consulted with Dr. B. Looking forward to your progress. Nothing in this game is guaranteed, but your starting point should give you very good odds to walk away with a desirable result. Keep us updated!

I had an opportunity to do it earlier, but I chose that date because it was the most convenient for me. You should contact them yourself if you want a estimation on waiting time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an in-person consultation with Dr. Bisanga the day before surgery. Where we talked about my goals, he then took a look at my hair and we agreed on hairline design. 7 minutes ago, Melvin- Moderator said: Dr. Bisanga always gets early growth. It’s amazing True, I have seen serval of his patients with early growth. I'm quite happy that I went with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
