Senior Member hybonix Posted January 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2023 Amazing result. Are you getting the compliments of nice haircut yet? Curious on what your friends/family think of your new look! Also, any more updates?

Regular Member Storytime Posted January 18, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi @hybonix and others, Wanted to leave my 10th month update. I can see my hair visibly thicken and I now get compliments from friends and family on how much younger I look. I still feel some new hairs popping up when I touch my scalp with the pads of my fingers so I am hoping I get to ride this hair growth phase for a couple of months more. I could not be happier with my results and to show you guys the progress I made, I included a before and after picture. On the downside, I am now starting to feel my crown hair thin. I hope to control this with my continued minoxidil use and introduce derm-rolling. I have stopped taking finasteride since it gave me huge sides and significant systemic decrease in DHT and increase in prolactin levels as evidenced by my blood reports (I test for hormones regularly since I lift weights). Since stopping fin, my sides are all gone and I do not intend on using it again. Let me know what you guys think of my journey so far and ideas to save my crown. My before and after: 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member PluggedIn Posted January 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think this is actually be one of the best transplants I've ever seen. The graft count given the area covered with how dense it ended up being, with time left to go, is truly remarkable. Dealing with the presence of DHT might be wise, but you might be one of the rare people who doesn't need to. Given the results of this surgery, I think you could cover a high degree of hair loss with good density. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rynomite13 Posted January 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 19, 2023 Great, natural result! The crown doesn’t look bad at all either in the pics and the donor looks untouched! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BurnieBurns Posted January 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 19, 2023 This is a true testament to how much growth you can get in the final 3 months, especially with lesser grafts masterfully used. Truely happy for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will definitely go down as one of the classics. Considering the starting point, its nuts that this is was all achieved in 1 surgery. Most people in OPs shoes would need 2 or even 3 HT's to achieve this level of coverage and density. Not to mention it looks natural and aesthetic as well.
