Madly packing now for a trip to the Philippines for one month leaving in a couple of days. I'm getting a hair cut in the morning so tomorrow I'll finally update my 12 month results. 😎 Look forward to seeing the update. Have a good trip 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 18 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted January 18 12 MONTH UPDATE Ive just had a cut and color/blow dry from my hair dresser. Considering where my baseline was two years ago from where I started from I’m over the moon. When it comes to my gratitude to this forum and all the members I’m genuinely lost for words. I never believed that I was a HT candidate even when Dr Sethi accepted me as a patient. In fact two weeks before the first surgery I actually rang him up and canceled it. But he talked me through all the obstacles and reasons why it will work. This is why I always state that the most important thing to look for in a hair transplant surgeon (after the research) is communication. Many thanks to @Melvin- Admin for who I believe runs the best hair loss forum. The biggest of thanks to everyone else. I’m off to the Phillipines tomorrow so I will update this thread with photos of my hair at the beach, in the water, wet, dry and otherwise. And most importantly, to everyone else who is young and worried about going bald for life, then don’t make my mistakes that I did when I was young. Learn from my mistakes! That would be the greatest compliment I could ever get. You do not want to live a life from 18 full of scars, hair pieces and ink (did I mention scars? 🤔). But right now there is still plenty of life in the old dog yet! Thank you to everyone who has followed my thread and has been so incredibly encouraging and supportive along the way. 🙏 8 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted January 22 Senior Member Share Posted January 22 Gats, having said this before, I must say again…your matured result is remarkable to say the least…actually the word miraculous is a better fitting adjective that describes how awesome everything looks. And still, you may experience a higher degree of hair caliber development that will continue to contribute to a corresponding higher level of visual coverage. Since 1978 I have observed literally hundreds upon hundreds of repair cases yet yours is in a class by itself…trust me my good friend, the average person would never guess that you had numerous repair procedures. Most individuals would have moved on with their life having accomplished their dream YET you continue to sacrifice your time and life to help others who suffer from hairloss and those in need of repair. Although we are close friends, brothers indeed, I am telling you these things from the heart and hope we can one day meet in person…remember Gats, ultimately the rapture will one day soon take us to Paradise!🙋🏻♂️ 7 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

I hope one day we do get a chance to meet. I just feel so passionate if someone can benefit from my experience over my lifetime. In many ways it makes what I went through far more meaningful and may help others from making the mistakes I did. 3 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their are many excellent results way above mine but I want people to know that in reality their is no perfect transplant. From where I came from this result is perfect for me. 🙏 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoors yes the SMP probably helps for sure. However I would be happy still if I didn’t have SMP.
