This is it!!!
One year since I started my journey to a full PATCH FREE BEARD.
Done.
This completes my one year review.
So happy with the job Dr. Aytac from AESTIMED CLINIC in Istanbul, performed on my face. Professionals to is best at a tinny fraction of Americans doctors price.
Besides the deep SCARING BEHING THE FACIAL HAIR, I am very, very happy. It is not the Doctor’s fault that I have darker skin and scar more then other guys with lighter skin. I scar so easy. Even a pimple leves scaring for long time.
By now I can see the right side of my face with less scaring but the left is for sure much darker.
Another point to consider for te guys thinking on performing this procedure is that SCARING GOES AWAY eventually, specially for lighter skin guys, but the wholes where each graft is placed stays, and stays for life.
As I said before, if I have to keep my beard longer until the scar fades, I will. After all I wanted a full patch free beard. Even if I have to wear beard for the rest of m life ... I AM OK WITH IT!!!
It is a trade off ... I GUESS.
Maybe one day I will shave it clean again. For now, I will keep my beard nice and trimmed. I have followed my doctor instructions not to shave for a full year, not to put any chemicals for a full year and only use the correct shampoo that i brought with me after the procedure. I guess this is the reason I had good results.
Look the images I just placed.
I shaved under the lips and you can see clearly the holes left behind for each graft placed but the area is much more dense full of hair follicles and it looks like the hair is growing.
Donor area is complete normal. No more numbness.
One big pimple on the right side of my face, it feels like a huge ingrown hair. So I don’t squeeze until my body throws it out naturally. It has been there under the facial hair for months but eventually it will come out naturally. I have been putting antibiotic pomade and it seems to shrink a bit. But I choose to wait.
Never had so much complements. Anywhere I go. Even guys complementing me on my full beard. All the time. Friends and family that have never seen me with a full beard loves it. Lots of handsome compliments. Ladies are more attracted to full facial hair, I guess. Definitely. Well, full patch free facial hair is a good sign of strong masculinity and more male hormones and I guess most ladies love it. Well, my new patch free full beard is a magnet for ladies now. Well, I love it. No complaints. :)
Good luck with your journey if you decide to do so. I made sure I put my journey as detailed as I could because this is what I was looking for to find when I started considering facial hair transplant.
Best of luck to all.

So happy you're satisfied with your bt but knowing that you still have redness after 1 year makes me depressed because at 6 months I have the same redness as you.

See as a give and take. It keeps me going and makes me feels that I have to live with it. Mine it is not redness. It is dark scar. It might go away. I have darker skin and I scar so easily. Would love to see our results so far. We made a choice. We live with it and enjoy a patch free beard. I enjoy every compliment and every good look of guys that I can hear their thoughts: I WISH I COULD GROW A PATCH FREE BEARD LIKE THIS OLD MAN.

The left side of my face is still dark. Much better but still dark. How about you? Redness gone? I haven't shave for 1 year and half. Only trimming

Beautiful results!! I am considering this clinic for a beard transplant. Did they discuss the amount of grafts before you met with the Dr. or was that something that was decided when you got there? I am very impressed with the crazy high number of grafts and density Aestimed gets!!

Thank you for your extremely detailed review! I’m looking into this for my brother and will be sharing this with him!

Well ... almost one full year.
Lots of compliments and lots of good stares.
Still have dark scaring specially on the left side of my face.
I still feel a little numbness on the left side of my face.
The right side almost nothing. At the donor area nothing. A few lumps under the lips and a few on the donor area. I have decided to remove the lumps and lots the hair graft because it did bother me. It was like having a large black head pimple. So I removed and it was a hard fat little ball around the follicle. But even tough I have lost a lot of follicles by scratching my face and sleeping on the face the final results are still great to me.

It looks great. I noticed in the moustache area it is thicker. However, you started with density in the moustache area. Do you feel your moustache got thicker. In your first pics its more trimmed so its hard to judge for myself.

It got a bit ticker since we placed grafts to make it ticker. I probably will go back in a few months to do a quick simple review and ad a few more grafts incute mustache and make the facial hair line uneven. Read my full review and you will find that I did a very detailed explanation of my journey. I would love to see your before and after images. My email is: hello2kal@hotmail.com
