Just posted 4 month pictures. I'm starting to see some real growth. My guess is that the 5 month pictures will start to show a lot of visible growth.

SinTPA,

I also posted on your weblog as well!

It looks like things are slowly coming along. The next few months should be really exciting for you.

Keep us posted my friend,

Bill

Thanks for the comments Bill. I'm indeed looking forward to the next few months. At this point I am satisfied with the HT but of course I'm still hoping for significant improvements in visual appearance of the HT. If I could figure out how to take a decent picture in natural light, you would be able to see a better indication of the actual progress.

sintpa....

It look like you are a slow grower, like me. Although my growth started at 7 weeks post op, I look like someones glued a few pubes to my scalp.....as it seems slow. Could just be my total impatience.

I think (hope) that things change dramatically between week 20 and week 28 so we will all see......

Good luck...keep us posted

Wanthairs... thanks for the comments. I see that we had a similar number of grafts, etc. from Dr. Epstein and that your HT was about 2 weeks after mine. I hope your right that I will see some significant growth in the next 6 weeks. I think I'm convinced that I'll wait until the 14 month mark to make the final eval. He didn't give me the breakdown that you have in your signature. From what I've read on the forums, the larger grafts take longer to grow so that could be the situation in my case. Keeping my fingers crossed... Sin

Be aware that any benefits you have received from the minoxidil i.e. additional growth of native hair or thickness will be lost when you discontinue it. If I were you I would continue on it if you don't mind applying it. This is why I never used it post op.

You will be in for some nice growth my friend in the next couple of months!!!

JOBI,

I bought a 3-month supply of the Minox foam and will discontinue it as soon as it runs out. I've only been using it at night with the sole purpose of accelerating the growth of the new grafts. Since I really didn't have much hair in the transplanted region I don't expect to regress when I stop using the minox. I also don't expect to lose any of the new grafts. Maybe I'm missing something with your comments but it seems like the recommended regimen from Dr. Epstein of using Minox to accelerate the growth of new hair can only help.

Thxs,
Sin

SinTPA:
At 5 months I thought I was getting some serious growth..until I look back and see that it was really nothing compared to my 11 month. My hair didn't start kickin' until the 10 month and is still thickening...hang in there.
I'm figuring 14-16 months for a final result on mine.

TPA--Tampa? I'm SRQ--part-time.
Grow well.
