Regular Member YodaHead Posted July 14 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 14 (edited) Friends! Just 10 days shy of 6 months since my HT with Dr. Felipe Pittella. Here are the photos as of today. Note, I had dyed my hair a few days back, but other than that no other hair products. Had gone to a barber few weeks back…and I revealed to them at the end about HT. Him and his colleagues could not believe it.😊 Please share your thoughts…good, bad, or ugly! Many thanks! Edited July 14 by YodaHead 4 1 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

Curious to see more photos of it in harsher lighting. I will definitely be posting more pictures taken outdoors. I no complaints about donor areas at all. Note, I never had a very strong donor, so to me it is not drastically different to what it was. Plus, I always like fade cut from sides and back so not a concern for me. At the end, with NW7, I am very happy with the results so far. There’s still few more months to go…so will see what the end results look like. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

I looked at all your pictures and I truly can Not tell that beard hair was used! Thus, why did you dye your hair? (I noticed more and more guys are doing this.) Was it simply to dye your grey hair? Or, was it to mask the differences in Texture between the scalp & beard hairs? Thanks! Edited July 14 by Approach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hair started greying in 20s and I have been coloring for many years. Now that I have more hair, the gray dominates, hence, trying to avoid sudden change in the hair color. Plan is to gradually reduce/stop coloring. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 15 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 15 @YodaHead this is an incredible transformation and you have rolled back the visual years! Not also that like myself you may find that it will take a full twelve months for the donor area to fully bounce back.

Regular Member YodaHead Posted July 15 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 15 Thank you! @Gatsby oh that’s definitely good to know that donor will continue to bounce back up to 12 months. Also, i keep trimming my donor areas every couple of weeks so it does appear to be weaker in the photos. I will probably let it grow to see the actual state. 1 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 15 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 15 @YodaHead After my first repair/hair transplant 2.5 years ago I just let the whole thing grow out for up to 7 or 8 months before having a trim/hair cut, etc. I really thought that was going to be my final surgery as my donor was very thin. However by month 8 - 12 the donor kept on thickening and improving, enabling me to have the second surgery. I even had a small third one 5 months ago. Patience is a bitch!

Regular Member chiboy Posted July 17 Regular Member Share Posted July 17 Hi @YodaHead Thanks for sharing your experience. Not sure if you already mentioned this but am curious what were the factors that made you choose Dr Pitella over Eugenix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Approach Posted July 17 Senior Member Share Posted July 17 (edited) Personally, I think this is one of the top results I've seen. Fantastic hairline. It looks like you pushed the limits of your donor area -- without over-harvesting; it will bounce back. Super happy for you. Thanks for your thorough write-up too. (I like the barber story!)

Thank you! Yes i feel my donor is looking better than i expected. I keep trimming it short but It does look much fuller if i let it grow. When i rub my fingers on the scalp, i feel still some hair that are yet to fully grow… so i am hoping things getting even better over the course of next few months. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

I did respond to some DMs on this topic and happy to provide more insight via DM but in general… Pittella does giga sessions—which is what i wanted, rather than having to go back multiple times. This may have been risky but I just wanted to get over with it in one go. Especially, when i knew i had selected a doctor with solid track record in high NW. In terms of my budget, i could either go with Pitella or Dr. Das from eugenix. Dr. Sethi was a bit more pricey for me. Head to head—Pittella vs Das—I think Pittella gets more marks in my opinion. Lastly, my one-on-one call with Pittella went very well and I just got that positive vibe immediately. It was a close call between the two but above factors helped me decide. 1 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.
