Regular Member Malledive Posted May 16 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16 A little over 2 months. All has healed very nicely, the SMP I did 2019/2020 is still covering enough so that you can not really notice how thin my hair is mid scalp and crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted July 16 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 16 You're looking great! I think you should let them grow now, as this is when growth and density really start to kick in.

I am just not sure whether I have enough hair for a decent look with longer hair than a buzz cut. My hair is thin by nature and blondish, and I need a somewhat clean look for work..so idk whether I will let it grow, maybe in winter just to see how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use topical FIN - used oral Fin, RU, Minox since early 20s on/off and in small dosage. My father is bald, so is my brother 2 years older than me, I am 32. We decided to transplant a little bit behind the SMP hairline, will get the dots in front of my hairline removed in the future. I had no issues with scabs at all, used PanthenolD,VitA,VitE spray and started washing and messaging my scalp from day 6 on. So healing process was super smooth. My hair has already fallen out mostly by day 14. It is literally written in my 2nd post in this thread, guyss.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Malledive Posted July 25 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 25 (edited) More pictures :)) - I am thinking about a third one for the crown. Do you guys think I have enough donor hair left for that plus probably some beard grafts since mine is very thick..

Regular Member Malledive Posted August 3 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 3 (edited) Never posted before pictures. Found some I sent Yaman during the consultation process for the 1. HT. It is a big difference between now and then I started applying a topical propecia solution as well, maybe that helped to strengthen old hair, too Edited August 3 by Malledive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vziminov Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Hi Malte, just read the topic. I feel sorry for what happened to you after first HT - that level of inflamation - definetely something went wrong. Were I you, I'd be taking antibiotics at that time - topical antibiotics may not work that well. Speaking of which, what antibiotic did the doctor prescribe after the HT? How long did you take it? When you contacted them later with the photo they didn't say to take antibiotics, am I correct? I mean, even if the reason for inflamation was not due to the doctor's error, it feels really sloppy of them to have such an after-treatment.

Regular Member Malledive Posted August 22 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 22 (edited) Hey, thanks for the message. Sadly, I can't remember the antibiotics. Took it 3-5 days like they suggested. They suggested antibiotic cream which I applied to the area, but it didn't help. Funny enough, Dr. Michalis gave no pills at all for the aftermath, no antibiotics, no supplements - and there were zero complications. He gave me an antibiotic cream tho that I applied a couple of times to the donor area for 2,3 days. Just shows you the level of difference here. Spoke to him again, will go for a 3rd and last HT with ~ 3000 again, 1000 beard and 2000 hair grafts for the crown Edited August 22 by Malledive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouldashavedit72 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Thanks for sharing so much of your HT journey. It’s one of the reasons why I chose Dr Michalis - Especially because of his expert care of your donor area. I’m all set to see him this December! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
