But, as I mentioned, age also matters. I have just seen an another thread (also Dr. Bicer's patient who is now 5 months after the surgery) and after one month our friend had much more hair than I at this stage. What can I say? I still look a bit funny haha. 3.5 weeks, I will cut my hair and hope to look almost the same as before the surgery. The worst part will be over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Zoroa17 Posted April 13, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 13, 2022 Yep you and I are in similar time frame, I will check to see if I really need to be on med because I have never been on before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mark2137 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 Hi again, 6 weeks has passed. My right donor side still looks much worse. It worries me a bit. Also still waiting for a moment to say "it doesn't look worse than before the surgery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Etownone Posted April 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 Only been 6 weeks... You are right in that ugly duckling stage. Check again in another 6 week, then 12 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted April 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 Yeah, shock loss sucks. It can take a few months to fully recover, but it will. As already said... this is the peak of the worse part. For me, it didn't look "as good as before the transplant" until month 3.5 or so. But at month 4, it took off. Just try to laugh it off for now.

Regular Member mark2137 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sure, I'm aware but it's getting more difficult to be confident in public. Plus I keep in mind I will have to go through it at least one more time haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mark2137 Posted May 4, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hi guys, 2 months ago I had my first HT. I would say I'm in the funny-looking phase but in three days I will have my first haircut. I hope it will help a bit. The right side of my donor area still didn't recover but it's much better so I'm not afraid for now. Recipients areas are still more sensitive, especially the crown. Sometimes it's just itchy (but VERY itchy) and sometimes sore. I don't know how to call it. It's not pain but some kind of mix of very small "pain" and itch.

Regular Member mark2137 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2022 10 weeks update with three comments: 1. I have a new phone so it may not be so easy to compare previous photos with new ones haha. 2. Dr. Bicer told me that I should take photos in natural light as bathroom photos have the most difficult conditions but to be able to compare the journey I feel I need to keep the environment stable Still, I add 3 photos with natural light. 3. I had my first haircut. Last week I also bought Toppik. Just wow. I won't stop using it. So, I am still waiting and hoping for first visible (even small) improvement in a month.

Regular Member mark2137 Posted June 1, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hi, this is my last 2-weeks update. Three months have passed and I can say it's better. When I use Toppik, I feel pretty good. On the other hand, I'm worried about the crown. When I compare my current photos with the ones from September 21 (https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/61039-dr-bicerdr-demirsoy-3000-3500-grafts) I know I have less hair now on the top and I don't know if it's because the surgery (as a part of the process because I should got back all my old hair, right?) or I just have lost it due to my hair loss. Anyway, maybe in a month I will have something to show off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Zoroa17 Posted June 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2022 Looks good. Im about on 3 months and 2 weeks or so and i can dee the growth. Still patching here and there and not full. Is it the same for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still patching here and there and not full. Is it the same for you? Hi Yes, I would say so. I can definitely see two spots which are pretty bald. The problem is I cannot tell if those spots have grafts transplanted or not. If not, I'm just loosing hair haha. Well, as I said before, my midscalp was not touch, I'm almost 28 and I know I will loose density there. But now I just need to wait another 8-10 months to see the final result. Then I will start thinking about the second turn. I've read a lot of threads here and I know the term of seasonal hair loss after a surgery. After the phase of shedding I was loosing almost no hair which was very nice but now my sink is full of hair after using minoxidil I really hope it's just seasonal but I also have to admit I had a lot of weeks full of stress lately... We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dr Couto is GOAT status for most people Dr Bicer is considered very good though Of course. I was just trolling and kidding a little bit. I agree with you. Bicer is good. Best option if you are on a budget for sure but certainly not comparable to the elite surgeons. She is a bit hyped on this forum. But she's good and consistent. Couto is amazing too. I talked about him many times. I like his work and I always recommend him but in all honesty he is also way overhyped. But I just don't think he is necessarily better than Pinto, Ximena, Ferreira etc... Just like everyone I've seen the excellent cherry picked results on his youtube channel but I've also seen a couple average ones on the italian and spanish hairloss forums ! That said he is an amazing surgeon and I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mark2137 Posted June 30, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2022 Ok, 16 weeks/4 months update. I can see a huge difference between 3rd and 4th months which is really nice As I mentioned in my latest post, two spots miss density but I hope I will be manage to cover them. I guess now the best part starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
