Congrats bro ! looks good ! can i ask when you first started to lose your hair ?

and what are you taking right now for further hair loss ?

I started noticing around 15-16 years old. It got really bad around 23-24. finasteride once a day. Min once a day. Multi vitamin once a day. Nioxin shampoo and conditioner every other day.

I’ve been using finasteride for almost 2.5 years now. No none at all. No problems with my semen and getting hard. I’m married to my lovely wife and sex is great. Sorry if that TMI, but I have no problems to report.

Here’s the most recent before and after.

And then people say hair doesn't matter bruh. A very good decision you made You look not just younger, you also just got into another league lookswise. And for people that judge him on doing a 12k transplant and not going to Turkey: To drive home 30min after a transplant and not stuck in a foreign country and to be able to just drive to your doctor at anytime after the transplants to ask question and concerns, is worth any money in the world as well as getting a great result. Also kuddos to you that you update your results with a comparing picture everytime. Most threads you have to search 30 sites to find a before picture. Best thread on hairlosstalk about FUE so far!

Thank you kindly. Very encouraging! Hair does matter. I almost let it go but gave it one last fight and it paid off tremendously. It shapes your face and defines your own personal look. Everything you mentioned is dead on.

Hello everyone. I am 11.5 months in at this point. I just got my hair cut a few days ago fairly short due to it being a bit wispy with the new hairs. They are settling down more and more as each month passes. The left side is still weaker than the right and I am hoping this improves up to the 18 month mark. Very pleased with my results so far. I took a lot of photos with different lighting and angles. I will come back at 12.5 months so we can all see the "final" results. If you have any questions please let me know.

You might feel like your hairline is high up but for me its better looking than those juvenille ones, more manly. Great result by the way , nw2 with mild thinning, enjoy your new hair!

Yeah my main goal was to not be the bald guy in the room. My expectations were that nobody would say, “man that guy has a really good head of hair,” however, no one would notice right away that I was the bald dude in the group.

So far I’m happy. I would like to reconstruct the temples just a little bit.

do you know how many gratfs your donor zone still has ? (minus 2500).

And like you said the hairline is really fine ! some work on the temples would reinforce the ''face framing'' :)

when do you plan your next transplant ?

At least for not another year.

Finally made it to a year. Happy with everything so far! I am going for a second transplant, but will probably do so sometime next year. Probably 150 grafts on each side of the temples and 700 reinforcing the hairline for a 1000 total. Definitely worth it as you can see I have a happy wife :)

Let me know if I can help answer any questions. I’ll also update at 18 months and you guys can let me know if you see any difference.

Appreciate it. It does indeed. I am going back in a few months to strengthen the hairline.

No side effects of anything at this point. Already been a few years.

Sort of. My hair loss was already aggressive when we met. Girls love my personality. That’s what’s always got me the pretty ones.

Sorry for the slight delay everyone. My business has been off the rockers lately. My weekends have been at the beach just to recoup from a crazy week. I’m about 10.5 months in right now. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nice. You should do more of this combover where you cover your temples. I think your photos in August were the best.
