Had my first HT what next / NW6

[Artista]

Vinny,,thank you! I know that you will be a HAPPIER man in a few months time

[kundun]

You have another 3 months to go.
Let's hope it improves.
But have the impression the after care of this clinic is not good once you have paid .

Here is a photo taken under better daylight.
I think the yield hasn't been great considering I had 4000 grafts.
Dr Doganay said to wait for the full 12 months to pass.

To me it looks as if there are spots with few/no hair. Only the crown was not treated. It seems to me that not all grafts have produced hair (yet).
What does Dr. Doganay say ? Wait till the first 12 months have passed ?

I think the result is decent and what you can expect for covering a large area. Do you have plans on getting another round? I think to fill up the midscalp could be good.

9 months

No of course I would be after a little improvement not a full head of hair with caboki/toppik. But i cant seem to get it right whatever i tried and gave up .

The spray applicator thing KUNDUN ,mentions might be a bit more useful though.

At Dr. Cole's office our patients seem to like like Nanogen brand concealer products. Some patients who need to return to work a few days after FUE surgery will opt for a non-shaven procedure and use Nanogen concealer to keep their HT surgery private when returning to an office setting.

I use it lightly. The goal isnt to give you a full head of hair, but just improvement IMO. Don't depend on it too much, just dust it lightly to add volume. Toppik doesn't come off the hair as easily I think.

I was sing toppik before HT.
Was using the spray applicator.
No mess in that way.

I used fine years ago but had rightaway serious sides .

I quit liquid minox a while ago because it was giving me a super nasty itch and dandruff . 2 weeks after I quit all was good again.
I thought I should make use of the remaining minox and gave it another shot a few days ago . Applied at night before bed and applied again in the morning . That day my head was itching like mad . Needless to say I washed head and quit right away :-/

Ordered minox foam which I have used in the past without problems .
Will start that as soon as it arrives .

I also started taking proscar a week a go , I am sort of roughly breaking 1 pill in to 8 pieces giving me 0.6 mg ish a day . No side affects so far and if I see the slighthest of side affect ,I will quit immediately !!

I would really love to be able to get a DHT test before this but I could not manage to find a place in the uk that will do a proper DHT test
Anyone with ideas ??

@KO1 :
I have got Caboki which is similar to Toppik but it gets really messy while applying and it comes off in my hand when i touch my hair .
How do you manage to get undetectable use out of it ?

[KO1]

you should experiment with concealer like Toppik, it will really help you IMO.

I started using Keratene a few days ago.
Don't know if it will do something.
Read on the forum that someone whose blood was tested had no drop in DHT level.

From top of the head it looks always worse than from the front is my opinion.
Made a pic of my head yesterday. Was shocked how bald I am...
Am now on 7 weeks after HT.
DR. Doganay advised biotine against shockloss. I was already using it over a year but still main part fell out.
I started using minox 5 weeks as adviced by Dr. Doganay. Have no dandruff.
Perhaps you should try the foam.

I totally agree ,it looks good from the front

I used foam before and I never had problems , might go back to that .
