  1. A few questions about the scar. It was gone after about 2 months with only a slight furrow to be seen. There is now no visible scar at all. Its one of the reasons some people take time out when getting it done as it can be obviously seen for a while. Depending on your work, you may not be able to wear a baseball hat. I told everyone at work I had it done. I was the main topic of talk for a few days, then they moved on to something else and now most have forgotten I had it done. i explained it was like getting a brace on my teeth
  2. Last picture I think. Worth every penny. Didnt think last few paid tribute to the Doctors work.
  3. As requested, scar, or, no scar pic. Hair a little wet, just outa bath. Think that's a 4 blade back there.
  4. Hi. 2 months out can be tough, the worse before it gets better stage as the grafts fall out and slowly grow back stronger. I'm afraid I have no scar to show and its very hard to find the line. 3-4 months out and it just blended in. I'll get a pic in a day or so
  5. Looking good. There was no point posting anything for a while as the hair looked great after 4 months. 3 pictures for you. Guess I have been very lucky. On a sunny day you it does look a little light but I'm very happy
  6. Hi James84 The scar is long blended in. A number 4 blade and you cant see anything. It does feel a little itchy now and again. If I remember it felt a little numb for about 2 months. I'd imagine if I used a number 3 blade you might notice a slight furrow at the back of the head
  7. It needs to be cut. The hair in the transplant area is shorter than the hair further back so it can look a little unbalanced as the new hair lies flat and the old hair stands up. I was giving it a while to grow. I guess it will all blend in when it thickens more
  8. Hi hairtothethrone Its really good. People keep to telling me to patient but I'm actually delighted. The hair is better now than about 3 years ago. Any more improvement is just a bonus. Below is a picture taken under a glass sunroof with smartphone flash in the car just now. The ugly duckling or shockloss period is just a distant memory now!
  9. Thanks Chrisdav. This is really helpfull. Looks like I am in for even more good progress. Based on those timelines my hair seems to be coming along a little quicker than it should.
  10. Hi. I'm delighted right now. if it didnt get any better and stays the way it is, I'd be perfectly happy. Any further improvement is a bonus
  11. 4 months out and much more good progress. Looking at the older pictures its hard to believe how light it was for a while. Spex tells me the transplants are only starting to grow so it will get even thicker. It is however thick enough now for me to style it like I used to which was a personal goal for Chistmas. The middle picture is under very bright light and is about a week old.
  12. Hi, your so right about the concealers. Today is my first day going to work without it. Nobody seems to have noticed which is even better ( or they are very polite)
  13. Its about 3 months and 2 weeks out now. The hair is steadily improving and seems to do so almost every day.The last two weeks have seen a lot of progress. It looks better than it is as its still fine and is thicker on the right for some reason. There is not much volume yet but that will come and we are really on the way now. Don't use the Toppik anymore for work.
  14. Howdy The hair is starting to grow now. I am around 3 months after the procedure and there is a reasonable amount of hair but it is very thin and wispy. I'm surprised that some of the hairs are actually quite long, 3.5cms on the right, those on the left are not as long. Its not thick in any real terms and if I dont use Topik and enter room with bright lights, the scalp has a very visible shiny sheen. I am attaching some pics. 1 taking two weeks ago shows the hair still very thin. Pics taken today and yesterday show better progress after ten days. There is a pic with Topik which is how it looks at work. In dark light or when I get up for work it looks full. While I did not mind telling people at work I had a transplant I did'nt want to have to explain to a lot of people what shockloss is and that the grafts fall out initially and then start to grow over after 3 months ish. That's why I keep using Topik. Hopefully come Christmas in 4 weeks or so I will able to style the hair like I used to.
