My HT with DHI Global - 6 months ago

Good afternoon all, I have been an avid reader here in the past as a worried man, losing ones hair, this pre my HT six months I am now in the fortunate position of having had such a successful DHI (essentially an FUE) transplant via DHI Global in London (http://dhiglobal.com/) I want to see if I can assist anyone else thinking of under going this procedure €¦

Back story:
Ok so my hair had been getting me down for about five years, more and more receding and the crown all-bar gone!

I did A LOT of research on clinics and heard good and bad from abut them all, travel wasn't an option, I was certain I could find THE right result at home in the UK.

So after many meets with various doctors in Harley Street and surrounding roads I met with Anita at DHI Global in London and was immediately put at ease and after her showing me endorsements from celebrity and non celebrity clients, I felt that DHI was the way to go for me, so at the end of October (worryingly close to Halloween) I booked myself in for a 1-day Mega session for a DHI - Direct Hair Implantation.

And what a choice I made!
I was made to feel like royalty when I arrived all be it admittedly for a tall and big man I was ridiculously nervous, but I (hopefully) didn't let that show... My nerves soon vanished when I was properly talked through the procedure and introduced to Medical Director and the man to do my procedure - Dr George.


The Procedure:
So four hours of lying on my front in the 'massage position' as I like to call it where I dropped off twice, where my hairs on the donor area were extracted was followed by a nice lunch and read of the papers, then it was 3-4 hours of implanting them. Job done and pain free... I even went to the theatre afterwards and had a few brandies (against the advice of Dr George) but I was on cloud 9, I could instantly see a hairline for the first time in YEARS!

Post surgery:
I was so proud to have the hairline I was given immediately after the treatment and that (as advised) fell away after about four weeks. All the transplanted hairs had come out by week 7.

I kept my hair at a level 0.4, from then on and come month four a rapid growth happened!!!
Day by day more hair was filling in it was then when I stopped shaving my head.

I am now coming up to 6 months post surgery and I would have taken this brilliant result as the final result BUT am left to believe I have another year of growth and filling out to come. Wonderful!

Absolutely delighted and I am so lad I decided to go with DHI Global!!

Pictures before, during and NOW attached and if anyone has ANY questions, ask them here, I shall be monitoring the thread.

Thanks
Ben.

My pleasure BM.
Yes a barman from another bar, spotted me out and pulled my hair playfully when he saw me in a club at the weekend, he was rather drunk, but he had obviously been wondering how this has happened...
It's changed my life!

Hi Ben, has Dhi said if they think the Prp and other treatments have helped the growth and result?

They haven't said actually, I personally feel they have though.

They probably have, regardless though it's looking great and only going to get better.

Hey Ben-looks pretty good to date. I'm happy for you that you are pleased with the results so far. I'm one of the more technical types and was trying to understand the approach that DHI took considering the pre-surgical mapping. I'm assuming that there was no effort to lower your hairline, but to only strengthen the existing? I would think that is a good route and I like the approach. Also, did they place any in the crown as it looks like they might have?

Wow.
1689 grafts producing that is fantastic.
How dense does it look in daylight?
The Prp and Rogaine must be helping with regrowth.
What are your work colleagues saying?
