Cheers everyone! 
 

@Melvin- ModeratorYeah, Dr. Pinto said it was around an average of 50 microns or so overall, I assume a little less in the sides/above the ears/nape areas and maybe a little more in the occipital etc, but around about that, so quite fine really.

That's interesting - my hair is a bit thicker than 50 microns, and still Dr. Pinto classified it as "very thin" and as a result told me to manage my expectations about achievable density. Yet your result is looking nice and dense so far.

Yeah he described mine as the same, very thin/fine, although he didn’t tell me to manage my expectations around density or anything. He knew I was fairly educated around hair transplants to begin with so I think he knew that I know what the deal is anyway, but he actually just said it should look good and pretty dense etc regardless when I asked how much of a problem it is in his opinion (having fine hair that is).

I don’t know what your situation is exactly, but my area to fill was relatively small in the grand scheme of baldness at I believe 38cm2, so I suppose even with fine hair it’s not too tall of an order to provide adequate density. Maybe if your case is a bit more area to cover (again i don’t know, I’m asking really) then it makes sense to temper expectations? 
 

Also, it is coming along nicely and it’s only 5 months so still pretty early, but as I said in my update there are conditions where it doesn’t look so great and lacks density, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I require a touch up of 4/500 grafts to be completely happy, but who knows at this point.

Yeah, weird, I don't know. I've already had a pretty large transplant, and it turned out pretty good, so I'm not really worried about it.

You're only at 5 months! That's still very early. I wouldn't even think about touch ups until you're at 10 months. It will definitely get thicker.

Some more pics from the past week or so where I have some concealer applied and how I generally leave the house with my hair looking:

Simply unbelievable.

Your look is amazing, and it will be better especially in terms of quality, in a few months.

Doctor Bruno Pinto is definitely one of a kind. The best good value for money of the moment.

Congratulations

5 months and a week update:

pretty happy with where things are up to, it looks full in certain lights and lacks density in others, but I’ve just been using a little bit of toppik spray as concealer which makes it look pretty good in any situation and takes me 30 secs to apply after a shower. 
 

Hopefully in another 5 months I won’t need to do so anymore, but I think it’s possible I’ll need a very small touch up to be completely happy as my hair is very fine, but it’s far too early to tell at this stage. 
 

The first 5 pictures are my hair completely soaked/dripping wet out of the shower and combed back, the 6th is damp but nearly dry again just combed back and the rest are my hair dry in the same room but some are right by the window with the light shining directly on my head, so as harsh and can be, with some a few steps back and as you can see it looks much fuller.
 

Trying to be as transparent as possible and show the realities of how it looks in different situations. It’s easy to make it look great or pretty awful depending on how the picture is taken.

Marvellous result at just ... 5 months!?!?  Wow!!! When you get to 1 year you will have TOO MUCH hair up there 🤣

And your donor is just amazing.

Congratulations! 🤗

Not UK but in Ireland so it might be a similar process. I went to a medical centre with a GP to get them done. I emailed them beforehand to make sure they covered all the blood tests required and then it was a 5 minute consult with the GP there on the day followed by a nurse taking the bloods. The total cost was 75 euro

Which medical centre did you use? I was expecting it to be way more than €75! 🙌

I'm in Ireland too & going in October
