Regular Member Jon Goodall Posted August 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) I was going to wait another 3 months and do a final 18 months review but this is good enough for me. I have been able to grow out my hair and it’s still growing past 6 inches. It’s full and thick, the crown is now filled in perfectly. I’m just getting on with my life now, job done. A massive thank you to all the team at Hair Dr and Dr Arshad. Happy to respond to genuine patients post or pre procedure in order to give advice and help. You can review my before images on my profile in my initial post. Thank you Jon Edited August 2, 2022 by Jon Goodall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give us all hope! I certainly did for over a decade until enough was enough. But yes there is hope, you just gotta stick with it! I've still got another 3 months to go really until it's all fully developed. It takes time. This is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It's priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted August 2, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2022 That’s a fantastic result. I went to see Dr Arshad yesterday for my 13 month review. He’s arranging a top up for the front, as it’s not as dense as it could be. Your result fills me with confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many grafts got placed there? I had 2000 on the back working through the sides with 1500 at the front. I already had a bit of hair to work into at the crown so it's a bit denser than it would have been if I was completely bald. In a strong daylight you can see my scalp but you can on most people I guess, natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all down to the density of your grafts I believe. My grafts form the back of my head were super thick with lots of hairs on only one graft. I remember him getting quite excited when extracting them 😆 It's great that he can top up your hairline though, I'm sure you'll end up with great results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member StillAlive Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 @Jon GoodallAre you on any meds by the way? Our before hair looks similar, only a bit reversed (I have a thicker crown with more pronounced loss in the front) but I've been quoted between 3500-4000 grafts for coverage. And I guess I should stop worrying about potential shock loss of the healthy hair -that's my one fear about the process, that somehow, transplanting amongst existing hair will damage it- judging by your excellent result!

Hey, yes I take 1mg of Finasteride every morning along with the Hair Dr Spray which contains 6% monoxide and 0.2% Finasteride to really get into my scalp. I also take biotin every morning. Don't forget, everyones hair follicles are different, either thicker or thinner so the amount of grafts needed per patient don't relate. If you've gone to a good clinic, then I'm sure they've quoted you accurately as you want to make sure you get the coverage you need. When I had my first talk with Hair Dr it was lock down and we did an initial consultation on screen. But when I when in person they realised I needed an extra 1000 grafts. They made sure I got what was right for me for complete coverage. It was a relief tbh. If you're concerned about money, well all I can say is for me it's priceless. I was lucky because my donor area was abundant with thick follicles. They found some grafts with more than 4 hairs in the follicle. Personally I didn't experience any shock loss. But if you do, your hair natural hair should grow back. When you see your hair when it comes out in the bathroom, you think you see the follicle at the base right? that's not the actual base follicle. The dermal papilla is always grounded and stays to grow back your hair. Guys if I'm wrong about any of the above then please correct me, I'm not a doctor so don't hold me liable. I'm just going by my own enduring experiences. Really hope this helps 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
