thanks brother,
I was 24 years old when i did the first. i was starting balding from 19-20 years old.
The two last ones i did this year, hopefully i wont need another in 10 years :). To be honest, the two last ones where not crucial but more for my own well being. thats what its all about i guess.

How long was your hair stable before you got it done? Does your boys hair look thin in real life or thick enough to pull it off? I think you went a good route not touching the crown, I'd rather have a thick 2/3 in the front and thin grown.

I was stable for 5 years before i did my first. I went 6 years happy as f*** and didnt think about hair loss anymore, i didnt even use any meds for that entire time (witch was stupid of course) . When i did my second hair transplant a year ago i went back to lower the hair line because it was put too high the first time. I noticed then i had started to thin midscalp and a little bit on the crown area. It was weird to me because when my hair was grown out it looked thick as f*** and felt real good, but when buzzed down the truth came out. This was obviously a wake up call for me and thats the reason i started finasteride a year ago witch im grateful for. This last hair transplant i went for the temple points and reenforce the midscalp a little. This is when my doctor told me not to touch the crown as of now, no see through when grown out a little (as you can tell on my latest pictures o the thread with my hair transplant results) and i respond well to meds, with 3k graft left in the bank i got enough to take care of a possible future donut hole. So as you said i have focused alot on a strong front/mid as of now.

Man he looks great. I was stunned when i saw him after 6 months and even more after 12. He looks great irl and his hair looks thick , with a little see through just in the middle of the crown, that doesn't bother him at all. He can more than pull it of.. that's him ( his also on finasteride and responds well to it)

@Mattias ; you are lucky man .
you just had a receding hairline ? no vertex thinning ?

I wish i could do a hair transplant for my hairline, but my crown is thinning , and i don't respond well to medications
you have a good result with propecia ?

I have vertex thinning but not aggressive. I noticed it when i shaved my head. Finasteride thicked up my hair, im going to quit finasteride now and try 1g of Seti ED instead. Se how that goes..

not minoxidil ?

nah, i will try to maintain first with Seti and maybe some topical finasteride if needed. But i will try just the Seti first and se how that goes.
minoxidil maybe maybe if i get see through.. not a big fan though.

thats true.
How do you know that? Do you know anyone that have tried 1g Seti a day? most that have tried have micro dosed. Seti is very dose dependent and the people that have tried higher dose have had good results for maintenance.

@Tristan Crawford ; hey man, don't let other posters depressed you with their negative attitude .You have a good attitude , and trust me , when you get trapped into the vicious circle of depression, things get horrible .
But keep in mind that you are definitey balding and finasteride might help you .

You have no diffuse thinning on vertex and mid scalp ? this is hard to see with you hair combed backward like this .

Absolutely none.

Hey man, im super glad you had such awesome results.. the only question I have is what was it like the days following the transplant? Like did anyone even notice right after you got it? Or did the redness go way within a day?? I'm just thinking about my future in like 5 years when I may get one haha
