Hi,
Please see my weblog for the status of my hair transplant 6 months after the surgery. Noticable improvement can be seen compared to the 4 months mark - except for the temple region.

Looks good so far, but a long way to go for you for sure. Keep in mind something Dr. Cooley told me;

At 6 months, about 25% of patients have experienced 75% of their final growth. Another 25% are at only 25% growth. The remaining, or 'typical' patient, which is 50% of all, has experienced just 50% of the growth.

So odds are you're about 1/2 of the final result....

3V_2008,

Thanks for keeping us updated on your progress.

As Dewayne rightfully indicated, you are coming along nicely, but you still have a long way to go.

Patience is tough, but with time, growth and thickening will come .

Best wishes,

Bill

I've heard the crown can take longer to fill in than the front. That appears to be the case here. Looks good so far!

I like Dwayne's/ Dr. Cooley's odds assessment. I just hope I'm not the 25% who has seen 75%

More importantly, I think 3v_2008 is making solid progress.

3V 2008:
it is hard to see the difference from the temples as you did not provide pre op pics of the temples. However, the top definitely shows improvement since the 4 month mark. Good luck and thanks for sharing your weblog.

I've noticed the most improvement, personally, between the 8th and 9th months - where I'm at right now.

It's a weird feeling washing my hair and feeling much thicker hair up there.
