Could we see it dry/without any product ? Remind me, are you in contact with Dr Arshad ? Just wondering if he has seen this update. 🙏 Yeah I send through monthly updates, with his team scheduling a calling with me this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to hear the feedback, at month 7.5 we really do have a good idea of how the results are going to end up. Let’s see what they say, personally I think it’s going to take a top up/second procedure. Sorry but that’s just speaking openly and honestly 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very surprised if I don't require a top-up. Obviously I will wait for 12-15 months, however I'm nowhere near mentally ready to go for another procedure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’ve just had my 13 month review and I’m booking in for a top up mate. It’s disappointing but at least the clinic are there to look after you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explaining there goal is to make sure I’m 100% and will provide a free top-up as soon as I’m ready. Its extremely likely that I will take it, just when I’m ready and it fits into life obligations etc. As mentioned by the others, you really do feel they care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clinic is very local to me which is a temptation to go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member maxamill Posted November 22, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2022 As I’m moving house and will not get a chance to replicate the same lighting/angles, I’ll provide final picture updates which are a little under 11.5 months. Evidently there is a significant improvement from my pre-transplant days. Wearing my hair down, looks better. However it is also noticeable that there is a severe lack of growth in the front, especially middle. And to be completely honest, I have no confidence in wearing my hair up, I will only go with it flat-down/push to the side. For any social events, toppix is must. I did catch up with the clinic a month ago, and they have been asked me to come for an examination. However unfortunately I don’t live close and about to travel for 7 months. They did however offer me a free top-up last time we spoke. Photos are just out of a hot shower which is why it may look red. Can’t see those now etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted November 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Definitely a lack of density mate. How many grafts did they offer for a top up? Edited November 22, 2022 by Marko7t4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member maxamill Posted May 4, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 4, 2023 Sorry I've been radio silent, as I'm currently living in Central America, I haven't had a chance to visit the clinic since the procedure day. However we've had many calls, with the clinic reassuring me they will make sure I'm 100% happy and they're ready to book me in whenever I am. The flexibility is appreciated a lot, especially as the waiting additional time is completely on me. I haven't locked in a date but this is most likely going to be around September. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member maxamill Posted August 17, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 17, 2023 Although the below was over 8 months ago, and 11 months after the procedure, there hasn't been much change. So I've confirmed and booked in for a top-up with Doctor Arshad for 11th September. I'll be at their new clinic so I can take some pictures and will provide an update with photos once I've visited!

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted August 19, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 19, 2023 @maxamill Wish you all the best brother..top up will solve the issue ..good that the doctor is standing behind you and offering you a free touch up...surgery can go wrong bt when the surgeon stands by the patient it really helps.... 2 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member maxamill Posted September 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Went to have my top-up at 8am today. Finished at the clinic at 3:30pm - I cannot emphasis how pleasant and smooth the top-up procedure was. Arshad reviewed and agreed that this wasn’t bad but could be improved. They initially recommended 700 grafts for my hair, but I asked for maximum density, and they went above and beyond, completing 1050 grafts! As highlighted by many others, the personal touch from Dr Arshad and the entire team is second to none. Ignoring the fact how beautiful his new clinic is, they really do make you feel like a VIP. A really nice touch is the private waiting room you have to relax in, with a TV and full of treats! As with last time, you’re handed a full medical bag which includes all medication, extra bandages and even a complete timetable of what to take, how many and and what time. Really does simplify down. Probably sounds like a sponsored post, but I honestly cannot find a single fault in todays experience.

Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted September 11, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2023 Just hope that the top up sorts you out mate. Hopefully they’ve sorted out what caused so many sub-par procedures in 2020/21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
