UPDATED FROM Aussie Bee

21 month update

WORTH IT$2,350
I lost my review, it's great to see Realself.com is consistently not saving test of reviews.
Not much to say now I've lost the review, except I'm expecting I will go back for a 2nd HT to get more density on top, since my hair is thin and is especially thin on the top.
I've used finasteride for over six months so I don't lose the original hair on top you see in my initial pics.

I come from the land down under.... Where old school blokes in my family calls pansies sheilas or pooftahs (really!). Instead of me doing a Rooney (hi Poms!) I'm doing a Warney with my HT mid life crisis makeover! It is worth doing your HT right, so make sure you have researched and then do it when you are happy with the surgeon/doctor/clinic. I'm very happy with 100% of my experience at Dr Maral's clinic (and his clients and this forum). Initially I was sucked in by the results of people posting reviews here. I should have taken more time researching all options for my needs in some more detail but I chose the best and I'm happy! Experiencing it in June, I understand the results and why people have such positive reviews and experiencences. I'm another very happy client of Maralklinik and happy to discuss anything. Dr Maral answered my questions on all emails and is a very user-focused person. It was a pleasure to deal with Dr Maral and his professional and friendly team, from the first moment at airport pickup, to airport drop off less than 48hrs later. We discussed the process in Dr Maral's consulting room in the morning, then Dr Maral drew the hairlines on me prior to getting my head shaved. This continued through the FUE process, then the next morning we did some in depth stuff. At all of the steps of our consultation, Dr Maral's advice and his realistic responses to my questions suggest that you will be in the hands of professionals.

I'm working with a team, mostly 20yrs younger than me so it's good to have some kind of head of hair, rather than be the balding older guy, haha.
still looks great tho!
Thank you crazyheinz, visiting friends we've not seen for two years commented I look much younger. The thing that some of us do is get much fitter, healthier, active and happy along with the better hair.

All make for a more youthful energy, confidence and attitude.
Hey Aussie, hope all is well. I find that a shorter cut is easier to maintain and keeps things neater. It’s the opposite of what you would expect since longer hair provides more coverage. My barber uses a #3 on sides and back, and scissors on top. Anyway, tighten it up and post the results!
Yes I'll post another update after a cut.
I found that adding some of the powder strand builder helps alot, its amazing the difference. Just a bit in the center and top and a bit toward the front, not too much or it is noticable. It will change everything.
Thank you, I am doing this powder on top during the week, which helps.
Looks great! I know your happy.

Hair is in need of a bit of hair colour and a cut but is looking OK.

Hi Aussie. How's the crown and donor area looking?
Hi Capri_1971, its looking a bit crap. Not as tidy as the front but better than the previous 'baldy' state of 16mths ago.
See pics in my next post.

I'm on finasteride finally. To date no dramas there, touch wood (!).
lol "touch wood"
