5 year FUE update
WORTH IT$15,000
I’ve decided to post some recent headshots. I’m now approaching the 5 year mark since Dr. Cole’s FUE procedure. Still looks very good and growing healthy. And to think I used to dread going to the barber. Thank you Dr. Cole.

It's hard to believe I'm pushing 2 years since the HT. Things are definitely holding up. Letting the mop grow out a bit and see where things end up in the spring.

You've set quite a target for those of us following in your footsteps, petenice00.
The shots you've shown take off 20+ years from the before pics!

Hey Aussie that's very kind of you. Ha I was thinking 10-12 years but I'd take 20.
Appreciate the sentiment and wishing same results for everyone here.

Great results and thanks for sharing. Seems like your Dr. did an excellent job. I just want to share with you that I did FUE HT in Istanbul on 9/2/2016. I am a bit satisfied but not very impressed with my results. Its been over 4 months now and I do see some progress and some hair growing but definitely not to the same extent of results you are having with your HT. I am 37 and I would say I am norwood 4. I only had 3250 follicles transplanted and I wish that they transplanted 4000 or 5000 but not sure why they decided to do 3250 as I have so much hair in the back. Do you think I should expect better results in the coming forthcoming months? One thing I have to add is there were so many tiny hair falling every day I showered in the first 2 or 3 weeks after my HT.

Hey 4 months in since HT is really the very beginning of growth. I think by month number 8 it really filled in patches but even then I still had more growth to happen in the crown.
So be patient over the next 4-6 months, don't stress over it.
Also the hair falling everyday in those 2-3 weeks post HT is absolutely normal and part of the process. We all went through a very similar hair cycle.
Question: HOW did the 3250 grafts get allocated between front hairline and the crown?
Did you have PRP injection into the transplanted areas as well?

nothing special for conditioner other than what my wife has. Also some scalp tonics occassionally to stimulate blood flow.

Great thanks for the info and advice.
The 3250 grafts were divided around 2500 frontal part of the head, 500 in the middle, and 250 in the crown from what I recall.
Yes I had the PRP injection a day prior to the HT procedure.

What your describing with hair falling out is normal. So is your hair growth. Hair won't start to regrow until at least month 4, then it will grow very fast for at least a couple of months, slowing down to about month 12. And not always good to compare yourself to one of the best HT results on real self such as this one. His HT is exceptional.

Great results and thanks for sharing. Would you be willing to share how much was the cost of the HT with Dr. Cole?
January 12, 2017
The addition of PRP+Acell I think has been key to this success a great result.
Your progress is very very good.

Looks really good. The donor area looked a bit before but it looks to have recovered fine now.
Well done!
January 17, 2017
Donor area looked a bit thin I meant to put but has recovered. Did you have shock loss?
January 18, 2017
I thought so too and I do have a pre existing thin spot right in the back. When I'm not careful in how I cut it sometimes it gets too exposed.
February 4, 2017
How much did you pay for the PRP? do you really notice a difference?
February 5, 2017
1250? And yes I definitely noticed promotion/surge in follicle growth and probably reduction in loss from other non-transplant regions.
February 7, 2017
yes unfortunately - the prices did range depending on dosage/mix and this was on the maximum recommended injection.

Looks amazing bro, digging that hairstyle too.

Hello - your results are fantastic. I had 2400 grafts with Dr. Cole in about 11 weeks ago - hoping to see some sprouts soon.
December 14, 2016
Completely natural looking; amazing results. Most of the time i can tell but not with you; a result this good is quite rare. Well done!

You have set an incredible and inspirational target for many of us, petenice00.
Sorry if I missed it in your easier comments: are you using Minoxidil or something else which is making your hair look thicker?
Looks like an amazing use of the grafts to give such a loss of thickness. The hairs look thick and strong, allowing you the swoopy hairstyle.
I don't think I can get this thickness but it's a great result that I think we inspire many here!
