The fact that it looks like that right now and is a complete rebuild of the crown is testament to how damn natural its looking. The crown may be seen as a black hole, but that's a damn fine use of grafts for coverage you got Melvin. As for the hair greed, i genuinely can't wait to see what everybody does once clone grafts become a thing lol. I personally think you've got a great result coming along with further maturity and refinement to come. It's looking on track for a stellar looking crown rebuild. Thanks man, super happy with the results. It’s made getting ready a lot easier and faster. It used to take me half an hour. Now its a few minutes. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Honestly, just speaking for myself i would get my donor area completely restocked from whatever prior procedures i had and i'd probably go for native density and maybe lower and refine the hairline. When i say lower, i mean by adding a very slight widows peak and just adding a few more singles at the front to bulk the density out to a more native density. Ooh, to dream. That said, probably can't afford it now and by the time it becomes available in 20-30 years, i'll probably stay with what i have lol 18 minutes ago, finchy said: is hair cloning actually a thing or going to be a thing? Asking for mate 🤣 Stemson are making good headway it seems at trying to bring them to market but it's still early with human trials yet to be done i believe and if it does come to market, i am curious if they will use the first 5-10 years to be really expensive and then mass market it. Hell, if i had to guess, hair mills in Turkey and worldwide are having wet dreams about it but i genuinely want to know how elite surgeons like Dr Bisanga, Sethi, Cuoto etc. would use them 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

I actually think its really great Melvin did manage to get the great result he has with the current limitations of a finite donor area and careful management for his subsequent procedures but i think we can all agree, that the #1 use sadly for these grafts will be for repairs. I have no doubts about that at all. Hair transplants have exploded in popularity and hair mills luring in vulnerable guys is creating a ticking time bomb of repair cases in waiting. I think we're going to see some amazing redemption stories but the fact we even got to that point is ridiculous. Sites like this and genuine patient reviews have to be at the forefront of educating potential hair mill victims but it's definitely an uphill battle. 2 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member MazAB Posted November 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) @Melvin- Moderator Crown and everywhere else lookin kick ass bro!😎 Can't wait to follow your progress on XYON. Because of it sustained release capabilities, I really believe it is the way to go for anyone interested in topical Fin. Much better bioavailable absorption of Fin as well as less likely to go systemic and cause sides. Fingers crossed you respond well and finally put a halt on the balding curse and just sit back and enjoy all that beautiful hair for a lifetime! Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

Senior Member MazAB Posted December 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Melvin, that is some insane volume all around! I'll have to invest in some sea salt spray when my hair eventually grows back out. I've always noticed that my hair looks great when I comb it back coming out of the ocean, so I'm sure that kind of product gives the same type of look. Looking better than ever Melvin!
