Overall the procedure felt really simple, so simple that this is where i doubt donor regen. Just take out put it back in front seems like normal fue.
During the procedure i kept asking lots of tricky slick questions and they all parried my attacks with good answers
First day after procedure head is swollen and it kinda hurts especially when anesthetic wore off.
By day 4-5 it looked normal, with crust not red anymore. Day 5-6 i washed my head to remove scabs. A lot of hairs fell off in the process i wonder if they regrow. Hasci told me that its normal. Around the days 7-10 i had huge itching in donor area and some pimples, very annoying! 1-2 days after removing scabs head looks absolutely normal, no one will ever guess u had something done.
Hope that it will grow as it looked after the procedure.
Good thing is that my hairloss is medium agressivity. Not quite nw 5 by 30 like some here, but at least nw 3 by 30 ( based on my dad history, cuz my hair is evolving identically). Therefore, if it is possible to have 4-5 hst without totally destroying donor, i will be fine hair wise. Provided i have the resources of course.
Now if there is actually a good real regen (40%+), this is possibly a cure for people like me, who start early and dont have nw 6 by 25 hairloss. I am in my early twenties btw.

I thought they didn't recommend surgery for people in their early 20s??? I only 22 and wanted to get my hairline touched up. But anyways it looks great and the last pic definetly shows how normal it looks. How much $$$? btw are you on fin or any other meds ?

i used minox for almost 2 years, had to stop due to sides in january 2013. This is one of the reasons i decided to go for hst cuz i knew after stoping minox i will get one of those sheds and i needed to do something to compensate for the loss.

what sides, I plan on starting rogaine foam once shipment arrives

blood pressure instability, lower than normal when applied and then higher than normal at night. Over time it got stronger + anxiety because its heart related. I decided to stop.
Now you shouldnt worry about it because minox sides are very rare. I am usually very responsive and sensible to any drug/medicine. This explains why i had such good results on minox, i probably had very high absorption and response to it and results of course.

Good luck mate!

The first 4 pics are like 30 cm away from a lamp.
Its been a little bit more than 6 months, i think it looks okay considering the following factors:
-low hair per graft with hasci
-it is in contrast with the rest of my hair which is still fairly high density (except crown which is strongly thinning)
Overall, i am satisfied in terms of i did the best that i could do in my position. Obviously, it is a super pricey procedure considering the amount of hair that you actually get transplanted. Also, the uncertainty of regeneration is a negative factor.
If you bring me back in time, i would most likely re-do it. I am actually considering a second one with 3 placement options.
- all crown
- half crown half temples
- hairline and temples
My mpb is fairly agressive, but the overall area is not that big. Especially at the crown, its like a 5cm diameter circle. Because of that, the donor to loss area is bigger than the average nw5 would get. My hairloss is fairly identical to my dad, where he lost temples and crown pretty fast ( with a small crown area too) and midscalp stayed till his late 30s.
One of my options is to stack the front, so i can have a nice hairline with solid temples and i could rock comb back haircuts as they would suit my face very well.
Btw, do you get more hair past the 6 month mark?
-
you will have a little bit more from 6 to 9 but really not very much.
As you said, it is at the present the best option for who wants to get some hairs... but super expensive.
I woul not mind the price if we had 100% confirmation of the 85% donor regen.
The answer to Arashi is very long to come, they were supposed to bring something to the forum community, weren't they?
-
who was your doctor? I think it looks nice and natural
