2 months and 4 days update
Under DirectLight

out of 1200 grafts
- about 100-150 grafts didnt fall off
- can see another 200-300 sprouting up
- have been on biotin and minoxidil 2% foam for the past 1 month and though i do not find any broken hair on my fingers after a nice massage of minoxidil , i still kinda feel that my existing hair density is decreasing .. .. or maybe its just because my hair are way shorter than what they were before op.

hey mate,

you said that out of 1200 grafts, 100-150 grafts didn't fall off and another 200-300 sprouting...so what happened to the remainder 550 - 750 grafts???

Also, do you have to apply minoxidil on ur newly transplanted areas?
Keep us posted as I'm looking to get mine done by Dr Bhatti

that's very bad..... your money totally wasted

Xplorer,

At 2 months, it's far, far too early to analyze the results and claim that any time or money was wasted. At this point, less than 10% maturation can be observed and the patient has over 10 months to continue growing.

Regardless ...

Crusade,

Thank you for the update. I hope you'll keep us posted on your ongoing progress!

dude it has only been 2 months since my Hair transplant ...u need to wait for a minimum of 6 months to see results... i just updated cuz another forum member (Iroy) wanted to see how it looks like at 2 months mark ...

1. Yes ,i have been applying minoxidil regularly to my transplanted hair aswell
2. Again , it has only been 2 months since my HT and i have started seeing some serious growth in the past few days . As far as i hv read on this forum , people generally start seeing growth after 3.5-4 months .

I am pretty happy with the results so far , remaining grafts will show up with time ..

This is my piece of advice. If you really want to have some hair on your head you need to start on finasterid. You are heading for an advanced NW patterns. Your new uploaded pictures shows a decrease in your excisting hair. So i don't think that HT + minoxidil will give you a full head of hair. If you're ok with not having a full head of hair and you don't want to take finasterid that fine. The reason why i am writing this is so you will not be disappointed.

He is saying out of 1200 grafts there are approx 450 remaining.. so are those fallen grafts going to grow in coming months ??

Thanks for your advice . Actually in the last pic i posted, i had a CFL shining jus 2 feet above my head ,plus my hair are less than a cm long ryt now . I plan on waiting a month or two for my hair to reach length similar to what i had pre op. After that i ll b able to assess the situation better .. and if needed , i wont hesitate starting on a low dose of finasteride .

Btw does fin help in regrowing hair or will it just maintain my existing hair ?..
