Hey guys,
I´m a 23 year old male that has been balding since I was 19.
I had 2 hairtransplants over the last couple of years. One was in 2013 (1500 grafts) and one in 2015 (3500 grafts).
I remember sitting on my bed in May 2015, crying not knowing what to do anymore. Time to take action.
So we went to a clinic in Veldhoven, the netherlands, and had my 2nd hair transplant there. I also had my first one there. The clinic has very good reviews in general and people on a dutch forum were quite pleased with it!
They assured me I would be pleased with the result. I only would have to worry about my thinning at the back of my head. I still manage to hide that ''bald spot'' with toppik.
Back to the point. It has been one year since my hair transplant and things were looking really good this last april/may. I thought I would finally be free of the stress, anger and insecurity. But since the end of june/july my hair looks a lot thinner again. Especially the sides and middle. They put transplants there but I can't really say I see much of it! Altough I can't say I shedded that much hair.
I'm currently not pleased with my hair transplant. It doesn't look super full at all. It doesn't look too bad either but it's nothing something I would spend thousands of euros on.
Next month (month 14) I should make an appointment for my last check up.
What should I say to the clinic? Are there still things that can somehow improve?
Tl;dr
had 2 hair transplants (5000 grafts). Looked great in april/may 2016 . Looks worse now (june/july/august 2016)
What should I do or say at this point?
My regimen:
-5% minoxidil, Rogaine
-Saw Palmetto (640 grams), started higher dose recently
- Foligain hair capsules, started recently
-Keto shampoo 2-3 times a week
Note: I used finasteride at the start of 2013 for about a week. My girlfriend wasn't too pleased (if you know what I mean).
Noticed my behaviour change aswell, I think it was Finasteride but I'm not sure.
