Alvi Armani

History

2010-12-25T11:50:00.001-08:00

I have had 10,772 grafts to restore my entire head of hair with the Alvi Armani clinic.

Many years I have seen my hair thinning more and more. I always waited and hoped that the hairloss would stop. But the loss increased and so I lost my front hair line, the top and the crown and my self confidence.

So I started thinking about what to do.But my main problem was how to find the right surgeon for hair transplant. So one day in 2004 I found Alvi Armani clinic. I heard they are the best worldwide and so I write an e-mail to get in contact. First I sent some pictures and got more information back. Then in August 2004 I made an appointment and started from Germany to the clinic.

I think it was the best decision I ever made.I saw a wonderful town, I had a great hotel room, and the best of all, I got back my front hair line using 3402 grafts from the back side of my head. They did a great job, because with their system of transplanting hairs they are able to create a better density than other surgeons.

With the growing hair line, my self-confidence grew in the same way. I was aware that there will be more than one transplant session necessary to get the result I want. But if I look back and see the pictures after the first surgery, I am glad to see my face having a wonderful front hair line again. I can say that already the first surgery made a remarkable difference in the appearance of my face and beauty.

In 2006 and 2007 I made another appointments with Alvi Armani. All in all I have had 4 procedures with the clinic to do my whole head of hair. I have documented everything below.

History

Before Photos

Here are my before photos from 4 years ago, I was a Norwood 5, almost 6. I was assured we could transplant my entire head of hair at high density and give me a look like I never lost any hair!

After 1st procedure

2009-12-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

Here is a photo of me a few months after my very first procedure. The first session was to recreate my hairline and to frame my face in Zone 1. I can already see that the new hair framing my face has made such a difference in my appearance. I will be going back for my 2nd procedure for all behind in a few months.

After my 2nd and 3rd surgery

2009-12-04T10:46:00.001-08:00

These are photos after my 2nd and 3rd procedure. At this point my hairline is very full and temples, and the top is full, I just need my crown done in the very back. These procedures were for zones 2 and 3, behind the hairline and the middle. Because I had so much hairloss and because I wanted very high density we had to do the procedures in different sessions to restore each area.

My Transplanted Hairline

Here is a photo with my hairline pulled back, It is so dense. My hairline is all transplanted hair 100%. Looks and feels perfect.

Before my 4th surgery

2009-12-04T10:38:00.000-08:00

Here is a top view of my head before my 4th surgery. Everything looks great except I just need some thickening in the crown. My 4th procedure was for 2,000 grafts to address this area of concern, Zone 4.

Update 6 months after 4th procedure

2009-12-04T10:33:00.001-08:00

Here I am 6 months after my 4th procedure. This procedure was for Zone 4 and the crown. I am getting thicker every month and as you can see my transformation is almost complete! I have gone from someone who had almost no hair on my head to having a great hairline with no temple recession, full coverage on top and a fully covered dense crown.

Here is a photo of my donor area and back of my head after having 10,700 grafts transplanted. I still have enough donor hair for another good size procedure if I wanted, but I don't think I need it.
