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.

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?

A very nice result. And you could still have additional thickening over the next few months. Great job.

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

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.

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 ;)
