2 Year 8 Month Post Op Update!
Hi everyone!
Here’s a quick update to let you know I haven’t forgotten about you! It’s almost 3 years post op and I’m still extremely happy with the results. The impact on my life has been very positive. I landed a pretty sweet new job in Sales and I can’t help but think the hair played a part, whether it was confidence or better looks. Either way, I’m very happy! I thought it would be cool to show a before and after pic. The before is at Maral Clinic right before the procedure. The after was from two weeks ago when I was on vacation. Enjoy!

10 Months!
Happy holidays! Here I am with a 10 month update.
I'm happy to say that I am very satisfied with the results. I have experienced some new growth since the last update and thickening of the existing follicles. The biggest difference you'll notice is the length as I recently got a cut. I started going to a barber a few months ago and within a minute of sitting down, I told him about the transplant. None of the barbers at the shop had ever met anyone that got a transplant. They were very impressed with the results and one of the barbers actually asked for the clinic's info as he was balding. It always amazes me how few people have ever met someone that has had a transplant (or likely more accurate, someone who has admitted to getting a transplant). If you read my previous posts, you already know that I am not shy about telling people about the procedure. I've been going to the barber for almost 3 months about every 3 weeks. Each time he has commented that it is getting thicker. We came up with a hairstyle that compliments my hair...going short on the side with a high fade. He also thins out the top middle and crown so it blends better with the newly transplanted hair. I didn't do anything to my hair for these photos beside combing it when I got out of the shower earlier in the day. Sometimes I'll use American Crew Fiber or this other pomade I got from the barber but I'm happy with the way with looks product-free. My hair is very dry so I have been washing every 3rd day or so with Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner. I do have Nizoral and T Gel but they dry my hair out even more. I'm thinking about getting some leave in conditioner because it's THAT dry after I shampoo even if I condition. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions are welcome.
As far as coverage goes, I would say that my results are about what I expected. I have seen better coverage in some other reviews but I have seen worse as well. I'm also hoping that the hair will continue to thicken as everyone reaches their full result at different times. I'm looking forward to the texture improving as it's still fairly wavy and as I mentioned...dry.
I want to reiterate something I mentioned in a prior post....managing expectations. It is very important to understand that a transplant will not give you the thick head of hair that you had as an 18 year old. I think this has been a big reason why I am so happy with the results. Regardless of how thick the hair gets, it's much better than what I had! The best part in my opinion, is having my hairline back. People have told me that I look years younger. I even get carded at restaurants from time to time (I'm 33) when I never got carded before. I wouldn't say that I lacked confidence before the procedure because I actually embraced buzzing my head. I will say that I have even more confidence now and am so glad I did it!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something here so if you have questions feel free to ask away.
Happy New Year!

7 Months!
Aaaaaaaand I'm back! 7 months today and I'm very happy with the progress. Since I haven't updated in 3 months there is a pretty significant difference. It's a bit difficult to see exactly how much new growth there is because I decided to grow it out. As you can see, there is decent coverage in the recipient area but still needs to fill in a bit. I'm hoping it will blend a bit better with the native hair over the next two months....finger crossed! I'm still noticing improvement each week, which is encouraging.
I've been using American Crew Fiber to keep it under control and also add a bit of thickness. I highly recommend this product. Just be sure to distribute evenly in your palms before applying or it will get your hair stuck in clumps. I put some Fiber in this morning and as you can see it has a very low to non-existent shine.
As for the emotional element, I'm getting compliments left and right. I went to a wedding a couple weekends ago and people I haven't seen in a while said I looked great. The people that didn't know I got the transplant said I looked different but couldn't put a finger on it. The people that I told were amazed at the difference over the last few months. I've been getting carded consistently at bars, which rarely happened prior to the procedure.
I couldn't be happier with the progress so far and am looking forward to what the next few months brings!
