I saw your video and i don't know if you use any extra fibres or anything, but from where you were before your first procedure to now it's really impressive. I can definitely say your case and some of the others are a great example of what can be achieved even at a higher Norwood starting point with a smart use of grafts from different areas. Melvin also as said has disguised his crown really well but i think we're all looking forwards to seeing his 12 month results as well as all the updates along the way. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member MazAB Posted January 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) @Melvin- Moderator I said it before that Eugenix left nothing to 2nd guess or regret. They put it all out there for you and in my opinion gave you the most complete procedure you could have ever asked for. You are in the best position for a last and final procedure as far I can see. So happy for you brother! Edited January 9, 2022 by MazAB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted January 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 The words "hair greed" are overused and misused. In your case it was without a doubt "hair need". You're fortunate that you have a beard of a greek god. 😎 The work looks impeccable and can't wait to see how this grows in over the coming months!

Regular Member PsSAU Posted January 9, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) congrats @Melvin- Moderator . HT looks awesome and nice writeup. this forum has helped me to decide my HT getting done at @Eugenix Hair Science (also the very valuable inputs from @Gatsby and @MazAB ) , and looking at your writeup and other success story at @Eugenix Hair Sciences I am more confident now (though I did not had the budget for premium packages and have settled in for Exclusive package. Hope HT quality will be of similar) . I have booked in for first week of march . Hope there will be no travel restriction by then and I will get it done 🤞 .

Senior Member Khali Posted January 9, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2022 21 hours ago, Melvin- Moderator said: One of the main reasons why I chose Dr. Sethi was because of the temple points. It's definitely one of his specialities and strong suits. Majority of the clinics refused to restore temples when norwood scale is high However Eugenix is different. They are so many cases where they have restored temples on norwood 6 scalps. I am trying to go to Eugenix, but Canada's covid rules are still holding me back. :( 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldvsBold Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Looks great @Melvin- Moderator. I waited for your live video on day of surgery. I didn’t miss any. I booked with eugnix in march.

Regular Member TheManeMan Posted January 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Eugenix have some amazing results but this looks exceptionally clean. I dont think he could have done a better job from what I can tell this early on (although I'm no expert) Excellent hairline design, excellent placement, excellent donor management. So excited to follow your journey! Edited January 10, 2022 by TheManeMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new hairline and temples look really good. I admit I'm super critical of these things, and this looks like excellent work.

This is true, I definitely needed more hair, I guess the greed came from my ability to style it and use concealers, but I want to be able to put the fibers and dermmatch away. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member asterix0 Posted January 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hey Melvin what other things are you going to try to help the transplant, any topicals? Did Eugenix recommend anything in particular? Maybe 2% keto shampoo, supplements with things like vitamin E/B6/Biotin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that would be better, I have heard though that topical finasteride has a lower side effect rate (and perhaps lower actual serum concentration in the bloodstream) compared to oral, so maybe if you gave it a try it would work out! I am looking to wean off of oral finasteride myself eventually, so I'm hopeful a topical alternative like this would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why when Dr. Sethi said we could another 1,500 grafts I was intrigued because I know that would probably put over the top. But let's see how this grows. Hopefully I won't need any concealers, or at the very least only need a sprinkle. Looks amazing Melvin, you could do some smp so you won’t have to use any fiber.

Regular Member H.K Posted January 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2022 Congrats on the HT , as per post-op pics coverage seem fantastic now , Happy growing . It would be share if you can share pre/post pics for previous surgery to kinda document the whole journey . specially when most of people undergo more than one HT , that would be helpful to show the progress after each step in the journey .

Idk if I’ll consider smp. Honestly, if this cones out great and I just need a little, id rather get the extra 1500 beard grafts.
