Had my first HT what next / NW6

[kundun]

Vinnytr thanks for your info.

I have seen a video where they used the choi pen. I saw several people filling the pen. Much more people were needed compared with traditional slits.

Probably it is still to realy to say something about your status ?

[vinnytr]

you are welcome

Yeah very early days for me still . I am reaching 2 month mark and as you can guess its the hardest .Most of the planted hair has fallen off ,the rest kept growing in unequal lengths . Now encouraging part is ,i can see various hair follicules coming out of the scalp ,like for the first time

I think , like it happened to most dr doganay patients ,quite a big percentage of hairs will be coming out around 4 month mark and go on .
He recommends starting proscar 1.25 mg 1 month before the HT to help reduce shock loss of planted hairs . I never used fin ,i never will .
Currently all i am using is zinc,biotin and rogaine foam (after 1 month of HT)

Good lad Vinny, Im having my first HT in a few months and its nice to see someone who will not be using Fin post operation. I am of a similar opinion.

I am an NW3 but I have relatively thick hair from the middle of my scalp backwards. I will prob need another procedure before Histogen/Aderans arrive but I think I can cover up with Toppik until then. My rate of hair loss is pretty slow.

Good Luck

I used Fina for a half year, years ago. But stopped due to too many side effects. Think that stuff can't be healthy.
On Sunday I will visit a belgian guy who had his HT with Dr Doganay in June.
Am very curious to see it and if there are no scars in the beard area.
Seems to mee Doganay uses beard area with most patients.

Would love to see more pics of final beard results.

@ Vinntr : how does your donor look now ? On your pics from 11-1-12 it looks as of your is heavily picked. It looks very poor afer the HT. Did it recover ? Do you have pics of how it looks now ?
I am thinking about a treatment at Aspendos. Visited this weekend someone who had a treatment in June to look at his beard area. Someone I know will have a treatment at the end of the month and is very interesedted in your donor now.

Sorry peeps been busy , i will get you new pics in a few days

[vinnytr]

Ok here are my 2 months update .These are the hardest times i think ,it just feels like they are never gonna come back . But hopefully they will .

Had a hair cut to number 2 at the top and 1.5 at the sides and back .
The barber i go to once every 2 months or so have not noticed a thing ,i tried hard to tip him by mentioning i am getting too many spots on my scalp etc but no i dont think he has got a clue

After seeing the pics i am quite happy with the donor areas myself

It looks good to me. And no scars in the beard. But that was also what I saw last Sunday at the Belgium guy in Antwerp. I think Dr Doganay does good work.
Be a bit patient. I think in a month time they will start to grow.
Thanks for the pics.

Vinny, those were great 2 month photos you've provided to us.
No 'Post-Op Blues' for you ,I bet!
When I see great HT progressions and great outcomes (which you obviously will have) I become even more emboldened to have a hair transplant (1 or 2 sessions) applied to myself. Please keep the updates coming Vinny..Im glad for you brother.

[vinnytr]

Thanks for the positive words guys .
Believe it or not i still do have the post op blues . Time doesnt seem to go fast enough . I should find things to keep me occupied .

Wish you all the best , i will keep sharing my progress

[Artista]

Understood Vinny but from this vantage point though, that your HT looks great. Believe me when i say that it is very obvious that you will regain the confidence lost from your earlier hairloss. I'm actually a bit surprised that you are experiencing 'post-op blues' albeit minor. Then again, I have yet to experience what you are going through first hand...YET. Thanks again

So far so good. The work looks nice.
