  1. That is some tremendous early growth you got there Raphael, you are on the road to an amazing result!
  2. I'm now at the 4 month mark so here are my latest pics. Was tempted to skip this month as I feel not much is really going on. There is some growth but it is slow in coming and at this point I did think there would be more going on so I'm a little downhearted at the moment. On the plus side of things, my hair in general is really quite good. Its going in well consistently for over 3 weeks now and that for me is something I haven't experienced in years and this factor is helping me through. Perhaps that is something to do with the meds, I've been on Fin for 12 months now and Rogaine for 4 months. All in all I'd say that my hair is looking good when styled but how much of that is down to new growth I'm not too sure.
  3. Top notch stuff mate, really impressive! Makes the whole procedure worthwhile when you see results like this. Gives hope to me and others about what can be achieved in our relentless quest for hair!
  4. Thanks for your comments Spex and Chrisdav. At least I now know that I've got to wait possibly a little longer than others for growth (just my luck!) and I've just gotta carry on as I have been and not to worry too much. Chrisdav, the difference in your pics is immense! Gives me hope of whats to come in the coming months. You must be over the moon!
  5. Its tough when you see people who have growth at 3 months and I think why isn't that happening to me?! Everyones different and I know you were a slow grower and you ended up having a killer result! Seeing results like yours with all the doubts you had keeps my spirits up and will keep me going. Not tried Toppik but I've seen a few people really rave on about it so fuck it yeah I'm gonna give it a try, its pretty cheap aswell so even if its not for me then I'm not losing much. All the hair that you can see at the moment is my 2 previous HT attempts which is why A it doesn't look so good and B I decided to get another so hopefully Toppik will help me out.
  6. Cheers guys! It has been a slow process to date but slowly but surely I feel like I'm getting there. Its pretty shit posting on here when there's hardly any progress, can't wait to see some sort of a change in the coming months. There is some activity but you need the eyes of Superman to see it and I def can't get it on camera, it really is that minimal! Trying hard to ignore it and carry on but I'm useless at that. At least I can look forward to summer as by then it should really have taken hold and hopefully I might be able to have that dream haircut I keep thinking about!
  7. Well 3 months has passed by and here are my updated photos. Nothing much to report really although I am seeing some tiny wispy hairs poking through, barely visible unless I tilt my head at a certain angle and under the correct lighting so its all technical shit! My head is completely back to normal, no numbness front or back. My only problem is the pimples, some are massive and really sore but I know its all part of the process. I suppose I'm over the worst now but I'm not going to get carried away by expecting to wake up one day and find its all grown in overnight, I still know I'm playing a waiting game......worse luck! Any thoughts or comments are appreciated....cheers.
  8. Hi mate, I'm 1 week away from the 3 month mark so i'm gonna be posting my photos next week. Didn't bother with month 2 as I was busy and to be honest there was jack shit happening! Little hairs sprouting through but they are so small and thin I really have to look hard to see them so still not too much to report. Native hair slowly growing back and I definitely think I've got away with it so I'm happy with that. Not even bothered to look at my scar as it really doesn't bother me so when I take the photos next week it will be the first time I've seen it for 2 months, feels a little bumpy but all the numbness has now gone. I'm glad I'm over the first 3 months as they are the hardest!
  9. Hi Icecreamman, your hair looks awesome man, fear the wind no more infact if I were you I'd just go out when its windy just to feel it blowing through it all! Really good result, you must be over the moon and still got some good months of growth still to come. Enjoy your new found freedom!
  10. Hi Glasgoirish67 Just checked out your pics, things are looking up for you mate. Must be a great feeling when you start to see some growth! I'm not looking at mine as much now to stop me from fretting about it. Its helping actually! Be interesting to see how your crown turns out, my crown is thinning and if I do need anymore work in the future then thats where it be. I'm on the meds tho so hopefully they'll sort it out.
  11. Cheers mgem and Spex. Spex you might end up regretting that offer in the coming months haha!
  12. Its good to see your progress man, I've had my worries over the last week but over it now. How are you getting on? Its like looking in a mirror image of my work looking at yours. Same amount of grafts in the same place, its good having someone else to look at, I think it helps the situation a little knowing someone else is going through exactly the same thing as you. Have you had any problems? Hows your donor area? Mines a little tender still, other than that I'm ok.
  13. Wow! I totally get what your saying now I've looked at your pics. Its exactly what I was thinking and worrying about. I felt a bit stupid worrying at the 1 month mark and now its really put my mind at ease knowing that its just par for the course. I was shitting myself over it at the weekend and now its like a weight has been lifted. I've read other peoples blogs and they said that it used to fall out in their hands and could see them in the bath after a shower. I saw none of that so started to panic a little. Panic over now tho! I'm due another haircut this week sometime, it doesn't look that bad at all so now I'm just gonna wait and let nature take its course. Like you say, at least no shockloss. That can only be good news! Thanks for your info man!
  14. Cheers for the info guys! I was just worried about not witnessing any shedding take place and thinking I had kept most of the grafts and my head is still looking bare. You've really put my mind at rest so thanks for that. The last month has flown by so just another 2-3 more of crappy ones to go then hopefully by then the fun stuff will start!
  15. These are my 1 month post op pics. I've still got a bit of numbness in my recipient area but nothing to worry about. My donor area is a little sore still and bumpy in places, doesn't help that I caught it a couple of times at work and with the comb, not good! The scar seems to be healing ok, I'm not too bothered about it if I'm honest, its the hairline I'm bothered about! The only question I've got is, is it possible to shed hair without really realising? This may sound like a stupid question and it most probably is. Its just that I'm struggling to determine what is my original hair and what is transplanted hair, I just can't tell whats what at the moment and Im sick of looking at it trying to work it out when I don't know the answer! Any info on this would help me out hugely.
