Yes, it was my real hair. I had a bit of a Jim Morrison/Jesus look for a while :D I mentioned the price in an earlier post ;)

You can't shave your hair until the grafts are solidly in place. After that, your transplanted hair will fall and you won't see the added density for months. I'm just beginning to see some growth, so I can't really answer your question, but I do know that men naturally lose their hair in many...

Haha thanks, yea, I think I will keep the buzz look, or maybe even shaved off. The donor area seems completely healed. A year from now i will see the final results of the transplant, so I will be able to judge if longer hair is a possibility. With a thinning crown, the only possibility I can...

haha, I must have a doppelgänger. I've been in San Francisco since 99

Thanks, yup, parents from Spain & the US. Someone suggested a 2nd transplant to cover the thinning crown, but I think I may be left with too much of a moth-eaten donor area which would make it an aesthetic must to have longer hair (longer than a buzz cut). And I already had a few scars in the...

Just started the 4th month, so the 1st hairs are just starting to come out. The donor area is well healed. I'm not taking finasteride (too risky) but I do apply minoxidil twice a day. I'm 39 yrs old

$7000 for 2700 grafts. 2/3 done with the Artas robot 1/3 done by hand

Here is an interview I had at Yeimy Alvarez's office. This is before I had the peak added on (which happened a few days later). It was a great experience. It's been 3 months since.

So I had a FUE transplant 2 months ago (2740 grafts). I've never been a regular smoker, but I had been vaping e-cigarettes (nicotine liquid) for 4 months, up till 3 months ago (I quit for the transplant). I'm tempted to vape a bit again, but I know of Nicotine's vasoconstriction. I already apply...

I'll be writing a post soon w all that info ;)

So yesterday, as I was flying back, I bumped my head like an idiot against a glass door exactly on the front spot where I had that last peak transplanted less than 48 hours earlier. It wasn't a very hard hit, but enough to make me bleed a bit from one of the grafts. The scabs already there...

Alright, just got back from the operating room. The doctor added the "peak" I wanted at no additional cost. We took it from my right side near the ear. I was told it was 170 single follicles, and thinner than the ones we took earlier. As you can see, what we had done last week healed quite well...

Minoxidil, laser hat, and a scalp plasma injection (twice?) a year. I'm scared to take Propecia.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I haven't spoken to the doctor yet, but I spoke to one of the main nurses and she told me that I'm healing very well and it could be risky/cause some trauma to do another transplant to the front so soon, however small, because it's still swollen and things are...

But would you guys agree that the one on the right looks a bit more natural? What difference do you see between the left and the right?
