Excellent progress. You're a million miles from where you started out over a year ago! Great looking result you have.
It looks way better than what you first had, but a second fue job wouldn't be a bad idea. One of Maral's patients went back & had a second fue and it looked great.
Yea, ive consider another one later on in life... however, im content with my hair as of now :)
Looks great I waited almost a year then went back for second procedure at end of oct. Looking forward to results by march or so. Well worth it
Ill wait another hand full of years, and wait for the inevitable future balding, before i go back for round 2 or 3 :p
Looks great. It should keep you looking young for some time.

Are you using anything to reduce the loss of hair that isn't part of the HT?
Just started using rogaine a cpl months ago... so ill see how that goes
A very nice result. And you could still have additional thickening over the next few months. Great job.

Look good, congratulation!!!
Looking amazing man! Your hairline is looking very similar to mine when it come to density. As in, it appears to be thicker in the 1st couple of centre metres of the hairline and then it thins out a bit from their. Something that I'm sure is done on purpose by Maral, but here's hoping we continue to thicken up through our mid sections. Nonetheless, looking fantastic brother! Feels so good to have it back hey! :D
^^^ this was supposed to be an individual post to theroastedpeanut, not a reply sorry lol. >
Looks natural. Way to stay on top of it too. It seems like blondes and gray hairs scar better matches their hair. The darker the hair seems to be the longer you have to keep it in the donor area.
Awesome, I'm 7 days post opp, this is very promising, again your blog is what pushed me in!!
Glad i could be of some service!
Fantastic improvement! Are you taking any meds or suplements? Finasteride, Minoxidil, Biotin?
Not as of yet, but i think ill be trying the %5 rogaine
looks good! how is your top? Behind the hairline?
Its a little bit thin, but im mnot concerned about it :)

6 months tomorrow

Some close ups, mid shots, and far... left side still isnt as dense as the right, but i imagine itll still be filling in! I recall when i was scared to even pull at the left crown because there were so few hairs, now its becoming a solid mass! I recently put some product in it and my friends were pretty amazed how thick and good it looked, which is awesome!

Awesome looks great dude, I have been following your updates from the begining and I have finally booked June 15 with Maral.
Your posts were instrumental for making my decision to proceed, maybe because we are from the same city ;)
Glad i could help!
Where did you buy your Euros? Did you just go to your bank?
Excellent progress and such a change from your pre-op pics. Yours is a perfect advert for the process and Maral
I'm impressed with the results you got. How much did you pay in CAD ? I'm from Canada too and I booked for June 14 with Maral.
I paid $2900 after € to CAD conversion... procedure was €2,000 or €2,100
I had some USD he accepted that as well. $2,200 USD for me vs €2,000.
Thank you! The price is really low comparing with Canada and the results are amazing.
Looks great.
Yea, scotia, doubt i would have got a better exchange anywhere else
