Its getting better, I was really uncertain where it would go at 4 months for myself, at 6 months it had thicken up a lot and now at 8 months it looks alright density wise except my temples, which you already know looks bad.

Your situation look a little bit better than I did at 4 months, hopefully it will keep going and in 2-4 months you will be happy! :)


Nice to see the pre-op and 4 months side by side! :)
Thanks! It's nerve racking but so far I'm encouraged. Each week, I feel it's getting slightly better but of course I'd be disappointed if this was the final result. I really think in 2 months, it will be ok. My curly hair helps of course so I'm counting on it lol

5 month Update:

It's hard to believe that 5 months has passed...

This past month, I feel like it has improved some. I'm definitely comfortable without a hat now and haven't worn one in about a month. Several people have commented saying how good it looks.

In certain lighting, it looks worse and more see through of course. Pictures are in harsh lighting to show the issue. If it stopped here, I'd be a little disappointed but with several months of growth ahead, I think I'll likely be pleased with the end results. Having curly hair definitely helps with the illusion.

I put hair fibers in a few times. It didn't take much and it looked much thicker but I really don't know how to use them with my tonic that I use so I stopped. I never use a comb or brush either but I've seen some people brush it in. When I use the fibers, the front looks dry and the back looks slightly wet from the tonic so I just gave up lol.

I think I'll probably just keep growing my hair for now and hopefully the back curls fill the front more.

Let me know what you guys think!

Its getting fuller slowly, still some patchy areas though. I had most growth between month 5 and 6, hopefully this is the same case for you. Keep being patient! :)

I did a comparison between Month 4 and Month 5

Thanks @Bigmac! It's getting there. Hopefully in the next 2 months it gets thicker. Here is a picture without my hair product in which makes it look thicker.

There is a difference between month 4-5 looking at Louiis comparison. It is subtle but your progress is steady. The growth is nice and even in your dry hair picture. The side picture shows a natural look to your hairline.
At 5 months the progress is good. I’m thinking at month 6-7-8 you’ll be happy and confident it’ll be a success.
Concealer wise, you could try DermMatch which I found worked well. Although, hair wise, I doubt you’ll need any product soon.
Thanks for the update.

Joeman, can I ask how you got the consultation and scheduled with Bruno Ferreira?
I requested a consultation last november (with pictures sent etc etc) but haven't heard anything since Dedember (where the secretary confirmed and got more photos from me).

Thanks and good luck, it looks great so far

I booked before he got super busy and I was able to do the fast track so I heard back in a day or 2. Unfortunately, I believe he has become even more popular. Maybe just reach out again? Personally, I think I'd look at Dr. Pinto or Dr. DeFreitas as they may have less of a waiting list. Good luck!

Any updated photos you could share? Hope things have improved even more for you at this stage, Joe.

Reviving an older topic because this was a promising case that I was following. Considering this elite doctor for myself.

I usually think it's because they get to a stage where they're happy with their hair and the obsession with tracking and seeking assurance disappears.

Of course there are also cases where the result doesn't go as desired, but I feel the community here would be a good outlet and support for that.

Yeah that's true. I would of thought updating people with a final result would be satisfying, if the desired outcome was achieved
