WORTH IT$2,350
Sorry guys for being off the grid so long. Here I am just under 15 months post op. I'm very happy with the outcome both physically and psychologically. I've always known based on my genetics that I'd get a hair transplant one day. Well I reached that milestone and that triggered what else I needed to do. As already mentioned, I've given up smoking (8 months smoke free), drink 10% of what I used to, and workout 6 days a week. Energy levels are great and I feel better now at 45 than I ever did in my 20s. It's worth it.

6 month update
Sorry guys, been a little quiet this past month. Hairs still growing in nicely. It looks much better from the front than it does on top where it still looks a bit "baldy" especially at the back, but not nearly as "baldy" as before.
One of the pros of getting a hair transplant is you start thinking about what can else can you do to improve yourself. I'm not talking about other procedures or cosmetic surgery - its now been 2 weeks since I've given up smoking. This is my first attempt ever in 30 years. And I've got a personal trainer and been going to the gym for nearly 3 months. Why stop with just your hair if you want to look healthier and younger

WOW!!!
Wow!
Pow wow! For all of your efforts!
Mate, congrats.
You stopping smoking, getting into a regular habit of exercise and the pt will really make a huge difference.
You will feel 20yrs younger as well as pass for being younger most of the time.
I bet you will lose weight because you will start to eat a bit less, drink a bit less and get faster and stronger on so many levels.
Maybe the HT was the motivation to get yourself tip top from to to toe.
What a great update from your six months of hair watching. :)
Are you going for the John Rambo look in the last pic?
If you can get your hair back there, which you seem to be doing, then you've done great again!

Yep the HT was definitely the motivation. Yes am drinking less. Cut out processed food. Have actually gained 9kg but gone down in clothes size. The Rambo look? Well thats a first. I'll go with that, but no I think its that people are more photogenic at a distance, not a close up 2 inches from your forehead.
These are huge steps.
Christmas is a danger time for over indulging, so stay with your excellent habits.
Gaining 9kg in muscle is amazing.

Yes indeed, restoring the hairline inspires one to set other improvements in motion. Congrats!
thanks
Its a positive change, and it will encourage other positives. Congrats!
Thank you
Hey Nick, have you been able to stay off the [RS bleep]?
It's always hardest on the first quit attempt. Quit Helpline and groups can be really helpful. I did some of that in my Masters.
Drinking and parties are the things that break down willpower the most as the old habits kick in.
If you can get back to your good habits, you increase your chances.
How many people have noticed you look healthier, happier and hairier (young hairier rather than old old man hairier)? :)

Everyone has noticed a healthier, happier, younger person but I notice it more in the difference in how people I don't know interact with me ....
I'd recommend buying (and using) a juicer or blender as well for anyone wanting to look and feel younger. It works quickly, too.
I was given a blender for Christmas so I'll look into that.

Before and After at 12 and 19 weeks
I'm amazed at the difference between now (19 weeks) and when these first 2 photos were taken less than 2 months ago at 12 weeks. I didn't upload them at the time because - well as Donald Trump (and aussie bee) would say, there was nothing worth looking at and not much to grab. So not unlike Trump's tax returns, I decided not to disclose them at the time.

Haha thanks for saving up your Trump trumpeting best til last, Nick!
Zero to hero.
Make your fringe great again!

Nah I stuffed it up, I should have said like his tax returns, policies on Syria and ISIS, and what he really thinks of women and migrants, I decided it best not to disclose them.
At least you are more open and honest about what you are doing! :)
I expect your PT will start thinking of their other clients who might want to include a Turkey stopover on their next European trip!
I have attempted an update similar to yours, to show how we have both progressed with hair changes in the past two months.
Making it great again.
For real!

unreal tbh. looks like some of your hair on top grew almost 2 inches in 6 weeks! i am at almost 14 weeks now and eagerly anticipating next 6 weeks plus. I can see you have new hairs and stubble coming through at scalp level too. did you tell all friends and family about h/t or just a chosen few? what has been their reaction to your progress?
Most of my friends know, and they mostly just say wow thats a big difference, look you've got a hairline, or dude does it feel any different (I hadn't anticipated that one)? It doesn't feel any different but I'm aware my hairline has never been this straight ever - someone said I've got a Middle Eastern hairline which is probably a credit to the clinic, (years ago I had a cowlick on one side but was happy to get rid of that).
You're at 14 weeks? How's your progress going? When I was at 14 weeks I could see a difference looking in the mirror but if I took a photo it looked almost the same as at 12 weeks, and I figure that was the signal everything had started to grow.

OMG! Your reviews are informative and hilarious at the same time. Congrats on a sucessful journey, Thank you for sharing your experience.
wow that looks like a great result!
Awesome results for being only 5 months out. Looks great already!

Will I even recognise you now?
If you're around, contact me. We can do a Dr Maral Klinik headshot together, like I did in City of London with Hair Flick!
I think I bumped Nick from the op on the same day as I was only there two nights.
As you mentioned, Nick has done great reporting of his experience.
