Regular Member mofo Posted April 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hi all, so I've been on this site for a few months (thank you so much) and am now 3 weeks post HT and wanted to share myself. I went to Bogota Hairlines and had Dr Pareja and another Dr (I forget her name, but she is also a Dr.) do my surgery. I had originally sent pics with longer hair and was told I'd need 3000-3200 grafts. I buzzed my head a few weeks before the HT, and upon seeing me in person, Dr Pareja told me that just my crown alone could use 3000 grafts. The crown is the main reason I went, but the front and mid were also thinning and starting to get a little patchy. I was asked how I would like my grafts to be alloted and I decided 2000 for the crown and the rest for the hairline and mid scalp. They used 800 singles for the hairline, then worked their way back with 2's and 3's. The whole procedure took 8 hours with a half hour lunch break. The numbing injections were painful, as you all know:), but while doing my hairline, it was also painful. I know I could have asked for more anesthetic, but I was worried about having too much 'ballooning' afterwards, so I decided to deal with the pain vs the freakishness later! There were also parts of the procedure that were totally painless which was nice. Overall the whole thing went really well I believe. Everyone was really nice and made sure I was OK. Dr Pareja didn't give too much info on the day of, but was happy to answer any questions I had. I would have been more in the dark had I not done a ton research before hand. The rest of the staff is also super helpful and respond via WhatsApp quickly to any questions/concerns. I don't want to go into crazy detail, but will be happy to answer any questions anyone has!! I'll try to put up pics: - Before - Just after HT - 1 week - 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mofo Posted August 2, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2023 Month 4... I let the hair grow out since month 3, so its not really an "apples to apples" comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mofo Posted September 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2023 Here's month 5 pics. I'm pretty sure I can start to see the hairline getting more defined, and maybe the front/top a little fuller in general. The crown doesn't seem like its at the same stage as the front...I've been told the crown sometimes takes longer to kick in, so hoping that's the case. Anyway, I'm not really looking any more on a daily basis, maybe once a week to see if I can notice any changes. I've been letting my hair grow, so Its a bit hard to compare pics and see the changes...but here they are in any case... and please excuse the crazy 'blocking', not very good at that stuff!
