Can I ask how long you have been taking finasteride for? Have you been taking it since your first surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jaz159 Posted February 3 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 3 Hey everyone, It’s been 4 months since my surgery with Dr Bicer. I think it been a pretty good month. I can see hairs growing behind the hairline and in the crown which were troubled areas before. I also have the beginnings of small single hairs coming through in the hairline. At the moment the density is lacking a bit but im hoping for a few strong months. Also, I had a grade 1 haircut a week ago. Whilst it was noticeable that I’d had a hair transplant, the extraction pattern in the donor was so well homogenised (I think that the correct term 😉), that you wouldn’t really notice unless you knew I had a hair transplant beforehand. I think I’m probably in a better position now than I was pre hair transplant, so it’s all positive from here! Let me know what you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Jaz159 Posted March 4 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 4 Hey everyone, 5 month update since my surgery. Things are progressing well. There’s a good deal of coverage now, but still lacking density. Hoping that this improves over the coming months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springstepper Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I am scheduled to get my transplant at Dr. Bicers clinic on August 21. They asked me to send $500 to initiate the booking which I did, but it went to Dr. Bicer and not the clinic. Is that how it works? The bank was like these normally go to a clinic and not a person so I was seeking some confirmation here from Dr. Bicer’s patients. Also, they asked me to send a passport copy, Is that normal too?

Regular Member Jaz159 Posted May 21 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 21 Hey everyone, it’s not coming up to 8 months since my surgery with Dr Bicer. Quite happy with the result so far. In some areas at the front I hoped for more density but I’m hoping that this can be addressed alongside the crown in a second surgery, should I have sufficient donor. Let me know your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ccd99 Posted May 21 Regular Member Share Posted May 21 (edited) Would you be able to show some photos of your top with harsher lighting? It's hard to assess the result due to dim lighting in those shots. Same light source as the crown shots would suffice (which appear to be under a natural light). I certainly do think you have more donor hair left to do a 2nd procedure, but whether or not that will be enough for full coverage + address the low density in the front remains a question. I also noticed your crown dips quite low, even though it is not completely bald it is showing signs of miniaturization and this will unfortunately impact your available donor/safe zone.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted Thursday at 04:55 PM Moderators Share Posted Thursday at 04:55 PM It's a big difference from where you were. I would probably do a small session for the crown just to get a bit of hair, so it's not so bald because it looks like your crown could really widen and dip a lot over the coming years. You don't want to end up with an island of hair in the middle of your crown with no donor left to fill in around it.
