I could be wrong... wishing you all the best Adrian Thanks Ryan. Yes Eugenix messaged me today and said to wait until month 15 for the crown (I'm only half way there now) as it's the slowest to grow. I also spoke with Dr Pradeep and he's extremely confident to get another 2k of scalp and 2k of beard grafts for my second procedure next year. 🙏 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in texture between the beard and scalp hair is minimal and continues to soften and blend. I have no idea where the chest hair is. I have what I think is the final burst of hairs coming through at around 1cm or so throughout the vertex and crown. It's been slow and steady through out this journey. In two weeks I will upload month nine. 👍 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In two weeks I will upload month nine. 👍 Actually i was wondering about that: I hear from almost everywhere that the transplanted beard hair adapts the structure of your scalp hair as it grows on the scalp. I had many BHT transpplanted on my vertex 2-3 years ago but those hairs are still those curly and wiry, thick beard hairs. May we have to wait until they have gone through many cycles? But it would be a matter of years then... Also i confirm what you say that i have also no idea where my chest hairs went into, i mean i can't identify them clearls between my scalp and beard hairs... Thoughts anybody ? Edited October 10, 2022 by Rocketman1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HairTrippin Posted October 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 Hey Gatsby, how’s the hair transplanted into the FUT scar? Did it grow, did it help conceal the scar somewhat so you can wear your hair shorter? I know you got smp on the scar does the ink difference show now that you grew your hair out?

Thoughts anybody ? Was it implanted in between scalp hairs to help make it blend? I think BHT softens up a little bit on the scalp more, but is still wiry and thicker compared to scalp hair. BHT should be blended with scalp hair so you won’t be able to tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 13, 2022 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted October 13, 2022 I don’t believe that the donor scar grafts have made any meaningful difference. I say this as my hair is now grown out and there is still SMP covering that area. If I buzzed my hair down I’m sure it would have improved the scars. When I have my second procedure and I have my head shaved I’ll share a photo of this area so we can all find out! 👍 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 17, 2022 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) NINE MONTH UPDATE Well I’m almost at the nine month mark. I’ve taken photos outdoors in the same settings under natural lighting. So far hair in the mid section has improved in density and further hair in the mid section and crown have continued to improved. As I have stated on several occasions that the goal of hiding my scars has been my number one priority. So if everything was to cease at this stage I would be over the moon. With fibres I can now well and truly pull off a full head of hair. Thanks for the support from day one guys! 🙏 Edited October 17, 2022 by Gatsby 11 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted October 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thanks for the update mate.. it's brilliant to see that you still have a reasonable amount of hair at the back and sides to give your crown the touch up it deserves ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I briefly spoke with Dr Sethi today and he intends to use scalp hair in the crown. He’ll also tweak a few weak spots but I’m leaving it in his hands. 🙏 4 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Bb111 Posted October 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 18, 2022 Wow Adrian. The hair seems to be maturing nicely and looks more manageable. I see the crown is improving too. I agree with @Zoomsterone more pass next year would be icing on the cake. Congratulations on hiding your scars as well.
