From what I remember reading, he increased his price yet again this year, now to 3.5 euro 😩 Previously he was at 3 euro per graft in 2022 and 2.5 in 2021.

Regular Member Anthropos Posted April 1, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 1, 2023 Hello, I'm 2 month and 5 days post surgery. Here are pictures of the temples and temples points. Nothing much is happening. Shedding has stopped and redness is slightly vanishing as well as the little purple dots on the temple points. I still have some pimples sometimes. I started using a laser cap but they say results are visible after 16 weeks of use. Have a nice week-end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mike10 Posted April 2, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2023 Frankly, I am not a fan of doing such small procedures at such a young age. At least, you did it the right way, conservative procedure and being on Finansteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Anthropos Posted April 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hi, Thanks for your input. I understand the concerns. That's why I chose Dr. Ferreira, because he was the most conservative in his proposal and was the only one who mentioned the age question and warned me to stay on Finasteride. My hairloss was really affecting me and I could not wait much longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted April 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2023 You have a very nice hair quality. I'm sure you'll get a natural and dense result from a high quality doc like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hairloss was really affecting me and I could not wait much longer. IMO you made a smart decision and are on track for a great result. Addressing the issue of age. We judge ourselves by guys of a similar age. A 50+ guy with a NW2/NW3 will feel they are ahead of the pack, yet a 25yo will feel they have aged prematurely. It's not that hair loss is unimportant to older guys, it's just an accepted part of the ageing process. Your approach to top up the weak areas while maintaining existing areas(meds) is spot on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anthropos Posted April 30, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hi, I'm at 3 months post-op now. I feel like it's starting to grow. Redness is still fading. My skin always takes some time to heal so I'm not worried about that. I'm happy about my donor. I went to the hairdresser yesterday and she was amazed because she couldn't see anything. Keep in mind that my camera make things a little more dramatic, I don't see the big white spot in the middle of my donor, I think it's just the light (and also my hair is very straight so with the angle it can appear like that). It's funny to see that the transplanted hair takes the characteristics of the hair in the recipient area. You can see some hair with very dark endings then, when they grow, they have a softer color. You can see that on picture "Left 1". I can't wait to see the final result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Anthropos Posted August 5, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 5, 2023 Hello everyone, sorry for the late update. Please find my update at 6 month. I really saw an improvement between month 5 and 6. All images, except one, are taken with wet hair and direct light on to have the best idea of the progress so far. It always looks worse on camera than in real life I'm still waiting for the 12-months results but I feel that I will need a touch-up. For example, the bottom of the left side temple point has not been implanted I and I would like it to go lower like on the right side. But so far I'm quite pleased with the improvement and I definitely think less about my hair than before, which is a huge relief. Have a nice week-end ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FallenIdol Posted August 5, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 5, 2023 It looks really great to me, even with wet hair and very close up. With dry hair and a little bit of matt hair clay I’d bet this looks phenomenal. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturalness at its finest! I understand your concern regarding the left temple point, but I can also see little vellus hairs at the lower angle where the doctor did not implant grafts. I don’t know if your are on minoxidil at the moment (I read you stopped it), but I surely think they may thicken up with minoxidil. Think about it. I’m excited to see your result at 12 months, since I’m kinda in the same situation as you: Norwood 2, 24 years old, on finasteride since when I was 20 and at the moment Dr Ferreira is my number 1 choice. I love Dr Ferreira’s work, especially the hairline framing he usually gives with the added natural temple points, and I think he’s second to anyone in this industry, especially in Europe. I’m sure you will be satisfied at 1 year mark. Hope you’ll se a lot more growth in the coming months 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Gasper20 Posted August 10, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 10, 2023 impressive and with more thickening over the next 6 months. congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairman4321 Posted August 13, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2023 It looks very good and dense / natural already. Looking at this photo: I wonder if part of the reason it looks so good is because the transplanted hair sections aren't completely bald? They have thinned a lot, but there is natural hair still growing there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted August 14, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 14, 2023 @Anthropos Coming in nicely ..it is looking super natural imo...it is almost matching the naturalness of the hairs you already had in the center...both the transplanted sides are in sync with the centre....we and you will be thrilled after seeing the full result ...keep updating brother ...

Senior Member Hairy Henderson Posted August 22, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2023 The only criticism I have is that the temples look too linear. Not irregular or jagged, but, looks like a straight line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks good overall. This is just a minor nitpick. I'm sure Dr. Ferreria will take care of that for you. It's not very difficult. It shouldn't take a long time or take up many grafts.
