Hi Folks

Today is exactly 5 months since my hair transplant with Dr Bruno Pinto in Porto.

Since my month 4 update I don’t feel like there’s been massive change but there has been a more subtle one. On the whole the hairs are growing well and thickening. I haven’t had a growth explosion like some do although I do feel it’s improved some. 

My left side is a lot fuller and thicker than my right side. There is one small gap on the left which has some hairs popping through so hopefully that should fill in and I am very happy with that side. The right side was my bigger side for recession and had more grafts. This is lagging behind a little. I do have coverage there and there are lots of smaller hairs just popped through but I do feel this needs to start thickening up some and hopefully soon. The hairs are very thin and see through. Especially when wet but guess that’s to be expected.

I’m at the point where I can take identical photos in the same place in the same lighting and just change my head angle a little and it completely changes the outcome. It looks great in some photos and see through in others.

I have been reliably informed that I am on track at 5 months and the right side is a standard 5 months and not to compare to the left side or those people that basically have full results at this point.

As always let me know your thoughts and I will update again at 6 months. I hope between now and then I have a more growth and thickening of hairs to report 

Here are my photos. Some with flash and zoom and others next to a window and no flash. I have also done some wet hair combed back to show the hairline. Apologies for how many there are

Firstly, thank you for keeping us updated & providing numerous images 👏🏻👏🏻

the weaker side should catch up in the coming month or two, try not to stress (easier said than done) you chose a brilliant respected DR & I’m sure things will pan out just the way you wanted 👊🏼

Hi All

 

I have now reached 10 months post op with Dr Bruno Pinto so thought I would update you all

My right side was always lagging behind my left and in the recent few months it has been slowly catching up. I still have a lot of hairs only recently popped through on that side that need to grow and thicken. I had a touch of folliculitis on that side and Dr Pinto says he sees that often delay the growth and people end up growing past 12 months so I am still hoping it may get more density although I do think a tiny little touch up on that side may be in order but we will see.

As the right side is a little thinner my hair doesn’t look as good combed from right to left and can in certain lights look a tiny bit see through. However combed from left to right it all looks pretty full and that’s how I style it now

I have to say he has done a great job with the naturalness. No one has suspected a thing.

 

Here are some photos of it styled and also soaking wet slicked back over the last few months. Let me know what you all think
