Month 5 is here! I think things have slowed down as far as growth (or maybe its just difficult to tell).

These photos are outside in bright sunlight right after a shower. I tried to expose all areas that I feel haven't come in as strong as the hairline (primarily the area behind my right temple). I know, patience is still key.

At this point I would guess maybe 60% of the grafts have grown in? What do you think?

When I style my hair I can say that I feel very confident. From a cosmetic standpoint things are a success (it definitely looks like I have a nice hairline with maybe a little thinning). From a success standpoint I still want to see more growth.

Looks good buddy. Your on your way.
You were ready for basic training in your pre-op pics!
Your post-op pics looked painful...
I'm glad your sides grew back in for you.

Looks like its starting to kick in.

Your ht area's were so pinkish/red for so damn long that it looked pretty obvious to people you had something done right? That would really piss me off.

I dread that when i get my ht...

Leeson,

Good question. And I have to say, I really can't feel any difference b/w the nape hairs and regular hairs. There are definitely some thinner hairs, but I think I'll have to wait until 12 months to see if I can tell the difference.

Vincehair - Yes it would have been obvious that I had work done. However, most people use some sort of cover-up if they can't get away with a hat. The first couple of months are hard - you look like crap and you question whether you did the rigth thing. But when it starts to grow and everyday is better than the last, its worth it.
