I notice that a lot of pixelation on the camera shots so I attempted to post here instead of the web log.... same result. Thanks for looking!

SinTPA, I'm Happy for you!! You are offically on "Transplant Highway". Good luck on figureing out how your going to keep from staring at your soon-to-be hairline! I'm sure you'll be puting up some photos in the near future to show better placement of the grafts.

SinTPA,

Do you have any immediately post op pictures? How many grafts did you receive?

Dr. Epstein does good work. At 3 months, you are where I'd expect you to be. You should start seeing new growth now in the next few months.

Happy growing!

Bill

Hi Bill,

Unfortunately I traveled to Miami for the procedure and didn't bring my camera. I regret not taking immediate post-op pictures. Per Dr. Epstein I had 2,599 grafts. He did not provide a breakdown any more detailed than that. He basically decided to fill in the front 2/5ths of my scalp. I will still have the receding hairline but I'm hoping the front are shown in the pics fills in. I'll post more pics at month 4.

Cheers,
Sin

Hey Sintpa.......

Im also an Epstein patient at 10 weeks post op. I was a shiny NWD 6 but now I have growth occuring all over my front and mid which started about 3 weks ago into my 7th week post op. I dont know if this helps, but I drench 5%minoxidil twice a day from a spray bottle all over my reciepient area. I threw out the applicator. According to Epstein, rogaine will speed up the growth by one month ahead of schedule......Are you using it to on your recipient area? BTW your growth looks good

Hi wanthairs,

Thanks for the reply. Per Dr. Epstein's instructions I have been using Minox on the recipient area. I believe his instructions say for the first 3 months only but I continue to use it at night. I don't really like using it in the morning. I also switched to the Rogaine foam which makes it a lot easier to apply. I'm not sure if it is reducing the effectiveness but the convenience is worth it. One way or another, the hairs will start to grow... just need to have more patience. My regimen looks identical to yours except for the Biotin.

Cheers,
Sin

Hi all

I am almost 4 months post op and seeing ( and feeling) some results.. Yup , waiting sucks but the best is yet to come. I don't use minox due to the life long commitiment and messiness.

My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor.

Total - 5621 FU's uncut!

JOBI,

The minox is only intended to accelerate the growth of the transplants. I intend on discontinuing after month 5.
