I just had a hair transplant, ask me anything

[Fortune_favors_the_bold]

Cause driving a cabrio is great but the full experience requires wind and hair on your head...

Turkey?

Yes, best quality/cost ratio especially if you are european just dont try to save too much on a serious surgery.

Transplanted hairs are annoying? I mean, do you feel them growing?

Obviously you don't feel the ones you already have growing, but what about the transplanted ones?

Not sure I get what you mean but once they become "yours" in the new area, they dont feel any differently in terms of sensitivity.

The real issue is the shockloss they experience the following weeks, they basically fall down while the follicles adjust.

Then you have hair growing at different speed so you have some growing faster and harder while others are soft and weak and are gonna need weeks to fully catch up.

Keep in mind that the first couple of weeks you mostly have crusts on the receiving area therefore you wont see them for those days.

Also what people dont generally know is that the first days after the operation you are forced to sleep belly up with a special pillow cause you have to protect the area where the hair are implanted.

Did it hurt?

I heard that in the hairline area, where it recedes, you have to keep maintaining it, or it looks weird.

was that yours? what was the cost?

 

[BaronOfHair]

Share pics and details in month 3 or so, when some of the hairs start to become ingrown. Many of us have never experienced such sensations on our scalps

do you feel any physical side effects?

 

[Fortune_favors_the_bold]

do you feel any physical side effects?

Head was numb in the donor area for a couple of weeks while the receiving one up to a month till I did a PRP procedure that was already planned and somehow accelerated the recover.

I didnt train for 3 weeks either so lost some strenght on the bench press and gained some fat cause I was bored and eating junk.

 

[characternote]

was that yours? what was the cost?

yes. About 2.5k gbp
(I looked balder in the 'before' pics than I actually was, because they also shaved any 'weak' hairs, even though there was still a fair bit of hair there). best thing i've done in terms of improving results with girls. I have further plans to improve lol.

Why did you waste your money?

Why did you waste your money?

The spent amount is nothing but an insignificant fraction of my wealth.

Driving a cabrio with healthy strong hair is priceless though.

 

[Fortune_favors_the_bold]

Regrowth currently at around 30% of the target but overall looks already way better than before.
The current level would be enough to justify the surgery itself.

A decent % it supposed to be reached by early summer and totality of density up to a year after the surgery.

Currently taking finasteride with no sides beside a reduced load size.
Will move back to the topical if needed or once reached the final result.

 

[RickTheToad]

Why didn't you just use Minoxidil and finasteride when you first started to see hair loss? It does work quite well; no pain either.

 

[Travel memoir21]

I have a receding hairline, so If I ever go bald, I wouldn't mind and opt for a good hair piece Sean Connery style and wear more Fedora Hats and Summer Beanies to mix it up.

i had them done 5 years ago, the result, same dense hair no deteriorating, guess what ive made right decision, hard to get a good job without hair, career wise, sex life , all of it will improve.

If women can get breast implants, face fillers, and nose jobs, then men should feel just as free to enhance their appearance too to level the playing field.
