Senior Member mister_25 Posted September 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 I saw the video posted by Eugenix today and all I have to say is WOW! I think this is the best managed 4000 grafts I’ve ever seen. Crazy how much of a difference that this transplant has done for you. 1 12+ Months Finasteride + Minoxidil 3872 FUE w/ Dr Hasson | November 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairthere Posted September 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 Awesome result! I actually just met Dr. Bansal as she came to Ahead Ink for some Scalp Micropigmentation training. She also did a consult and was pleasantly surprised she felt I had 1k grafts available for some crown work. 1 I am the owner/operator of AHEAD INK a Scalp Micropigmentation Company in Fort Lee, New Jersey. www.aheadink.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member champybaby Posted September 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2022 Amazing results brother. Very happy for you. What's wild is this is beard hair. It really opens up a lot of possibilities for NW6+. The crown will continue to get better. Give it 18 months. I know, sounds crazy, but you'll see. 1 FUT procedure w/ Dr. K (2012) Second FUT, Dr. K, Nov. 2020 (mini update) Third procedure, FUE, Dr. K, 03/21, 400 beard to scar (latest update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairRun Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Amazing result! Did all 1500-ish beard grafts went straight to your crown? Was it only beard grafts into the crown, or were some of them from the scalp donor area too? They said that they could take another 1500 from the beard, are you going to do it?

But who’s to say if I took another 1,500 I’m sure it would look less dense. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

If you go with connecting flights it can turn into a 24 hour trip, but non-stop cuts it down to 15 hours or so. Still a long flight but I might hit my doctor up for some sleeping pills and sleep through most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 21, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted September 21, 2022 Always compare apples to apples. Now, as you can see when wet and combed apart, the crown isn’t perfect. But it’s come a hell of a way from 9 years ago 28 years old, no finasteride. My hair had literally stopped growing, that was one month worth of growth. Today, 37 years old, I could only dream of having this hair back then. I have announcement soon about topical finasteride. The truth is without stopping DHT, my hair will probably thin considerably in another decade. I have a lot of faith in XYONHealth and the siloxysystem gel delivery system, as @Pat - Community Publisher has been using it for 6 months and has great things to say.

Regular Member sekiro109 Posted October 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 2, 2022 Thanks for sharing your journey! Just went through your thread so sorry if this has been already asked and I missed it but had a few questions. You seem to have retrograde alopecia, which is what I have as well. I noticed that they took some hair from your nape area as well. Are you concerned that these will fall out eventually? My other question was, does Dr. Seti still frequently perform HT himself? On their websites, I see that their "super premium package" doesn't even include Dr. Seti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temple points sometimes despite their subtlety are definitely essential imo. Is the Dry picture from before you had any surgeries at all Vs now? I'm going to hope my hair gets as dark or thick as yours looks over the next 5 months for the temple points and blends well. I do think your hair may be a little more thick than mine, but could be slightly wrong. I know my beard definitely at a certain length it becomes curly and it's why i wouldn't want to need to rely on that in the future. Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Definitely inspirational for people looking to try regain their hair and in terms of suffering some of the issued you did with regards to medication etc. I definitely am sticking to the 12 months and longer timescale for maturity. It's helpful seeing yourself and other people who have posted showing the thinner less pigmented hair begin to thicken and mature as the months roll on. Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!
