HDC Clinic Cyprus , FUE 1203 Grafts Crown

Hi All Well I finaly got of the ship on the 6th of October in Germany and went straight to Cyprus to have my 2nd Procedure for the Crown on the 8th of October , I was scheduled for 1500 grafts minimum which was estimated a few months ago , due to the fact that I was kindly advised by Janna from Shapiro Clinic to try the Finisteride to see if it would help with the Crown the Graft count was reduced , now the reason I am documenting this information is so that anyone who reads this may try the same route if they are young or dont have the finance its worth trying , now i was on the Finisteride around 4 months but have been using the minoxidil 7 months , so basicaly i was using the Fin and the foam 4 months togther please check the pictures it works for sure , the reason I went for the 2nd Procedure is easy am not a young guy and I had already had the money left over from my first procedure as only 3050 FUE Grafts could be extracted safely , anyway I am over the moon with my first procedure , the point I am trying to make especially to young people try the meds first , my experience with HDC was excellent everything was so perfect , Eugene met me at the Airport to take me to the Apartment which HDC had ready for me , to be honest he did not even know it was me and he was great , I had a full 36 hours to chill out before monday morning which was good , I met a couple of guys who had procedures so obviously they had a some questions and asked to see my hair soaking wet and other stuff they were really cool and it took me back from were I started from , on the Monday I went over to the Clinic had the funny haircut and had some pictures taken , I met with everyone it was really comfortable for me , Dr Maras then came in and was cool as ever and checked my hair over he has the calming effect which I need as I can get pretty hyperactive , he then checked the Crown and agreed that i had responded nicely to the Finisteride and Foam and that probably 800-1000 Grafts would be more than enough , at this time I was happy to go with the 1500 grafts as planned but he insisted that they were not required , I told him that i wantd to make sure that should i come of the Finisteride that it would be still alright , in the end we agreed on 1000-1200grafts , what can I say everything went so well I know their was some shock loss but that will sort itself out , the Clinic were excellent with me and all I can do now is keep my feet on the ground and hope I get a good result , I would like to wish everyone all the best and good growth

This looks fantastic dazzster, your crown responded really well to the finasteride too and I hope mine responds like this before I have surgery. Your transformation has been epic and I have loved reading every bit.

Hi Dazz, Congrats on the 2nd procedure. I am sure it will be a huge success like the first one. You are a great responder to meds also so lucky in that respect also.

I know you mentioned that after the first op not all of your grafts shed. Im 6 weeks out now and i reckon i still have 40-50% still in place so hopefully they hang on.

I just wanted to check at what stage did you really notice the first signs of growth.. 3 or 4 months etc etc?

Cheers
Bob

Hi Boberto

Thanks for your comments

Small hairs starting coming through around 12 week mark as i used to check in the mirror with a mag light in darkness I know it sounds funny but their you have it around 14 week it just started to show better in the mirror , 4 month it was moving and to be honest at 5 months I was over the moon and more or less stopped wearing the hats all the time , to be honest I never stopped looking at peoples results on this forum and it just give me hope , you have had a nice procedure and used the grafts in the frontal third without tinkering in other areas , I think your going to have a awesome result and Dr Bisanga and his team are your right up their with the best

Cheers

Hi Dazz,

Thanks for the feedback. I am hoping for a good result.i think i have given myself a really good chance with my clinic choice and post care etc.

Really good to get your feedback on when the growth appeared for you. I still have a long way to go but am riding it out through the doldrums!

I really like the part of your story about taking up the training in the gym as well. There is no subsitute for it mate and along with the new hair coming in. No drink or drug can give you that new found confidence. As it permanent.!

Im a big believer in the gym myself and am committed. Already my self confidence has boosted known i have done something bout the HT. It was the only thing nagging me and i really hope i am now firmly on the road to 'recovery '! as i would term it.

Cheers
Bob
