has anyone else faced this problem??? Will these hair grow back???

i think the major issue of high hair loss is these pimples. I am experiencing some pimples and when these dry, a bunch of hair falls with it.

See attached picture

did you contact the clinic that performed your procedure? what have they said?

no..will meet them in couple of days

Are you using any harsh shampoos like Nizoral 2%? If so stop.

Or are under a lot of stress recently?

Could also be a seasonal shed, do you usually shed more in summer?

 

Anyway contact your HT surgeon and get his input.

no change in shampoo...

i have not noticed seasonal shedding ever before

How rapid was your hairloss prior to your surgery? Did you have steady loss over a number of years (e.g 10)? or were you experiencing a sudden loss/increase over say the last 2?

 

It might be that you are just continuing to loose your remaining native hairs, as the receesing parts of your sclap where hair was transplanted seem to still have coverage.

 

Also, you may just be experiencing some seasonal shedding, it happens a couple of times a year. For me, one of the times is in the summer, which is double bad as my hair goes a lot lighter so looks even thinner!

 

Just wait a month or 2 and see how things progress or get worse. You still have great coverage so nothign to worry abotu at this stage.

Hi,

the shedding from past couple of weeks is much more than the usual shedding.

i also hope it turns out to b just seasonal shedding..

I am not entirely sure :-/. I would like to get Blake's or a doctor's opinion for this situation. It does seem a little odd to me.

Blake my friend where are you

Wow, that is strange. Any change it could be lighting and the length of hair?

No change in lighting at all. All 3 pics were clicked at my rum. A very minimal change in length..

I cn clearly see the difference in shedding during shower or on pillow or when applying minoxidil

Hi,

I am noticing very heavy hair shedding during 10th month of my ht. not only transplanted hair but native hair all over the head are also shedding. Its really depressing to see.

Attached are pics

1st pic pre op

2nd pic 9 months

3 pic almsot 11 months

What can be reasons for this.

dont worry buddy...if there was no blood there are no chances u harmed your grafts.roots are safe by this time..

When I replied I even asked a question. You might stimulate more comments if you answered them.

Slicker,

sorry buddy missed your ques, messaged you the answer.

Aman,

 

I see a significant improvement. I think the hairline is well established and nicely restored as well. Congratulations.

thanks buddy..

only 2-3 replies...is this forum losing its charm and popularity...:eek:

I would like to have expert's opinion on corners of my hairline. one side looks fine but other is not grown fully.

Is there any scope for improvement

thanks for good words

Hi

Please find my 9 months and preop pics. Kindly let me know your reviews.

I feel 1 side is weaker than the other and density is not much as expected.But results are noticeable.

1st pic is with flash and 2nd pic is without flash clicked by mobile.

it appears like u had more hair before surgery..may be because of shock loss it is appearing so

Hi,

Initially my new hair were straight and smooth but from last 2-3 weeks they have got very rough and curly. Is it also part of any phase involved in new hair growing and maturing process?

What should i use to make them look better?

I am 6 months post op.

Thanks

Hi All,

 

Thanks again for yer help on my last issue which was most appreciated. I am in a small bit of trouble again though and would appreciate some advice please

 

I had a hair transplant approx 10 weeks ago by FUT method. Approx 2,500 grafts placed in the temples and towards the front one third of the top my head forward to the hairline.

 

I always had a bit of an issue with dandruff but over the past week or two in particular I am getting severe dandruff and feel very itchy at times in the general area I got the hairs transplanted.

 

My first question is is this normal and expected in my circumstances? Approx 5 weeks after the surgery I went back to using the Regaine again but only in the crown and the area towards the back of my head where there is no real hairloss. I have being avoiding using it in the transplanted area.

 

Also wondering if it is ok to take up using the Nizoral shampoo again this soon after the HT? I had being using the Nizoral before the HT about twice a week, maybe more often if the dandruff got bad and to be fair it was controlling it very well generally. Also worth mentioning that I use concealer in the area where I got the HT done

 

Finally is there anything in addition I could/ should do to improve my situation?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Buddy,

We both have exactly similar case. I also had problem of dandruff and followed up with my doc every 15-20 days. You will get fine just give it some time and keep using nizoral shampoo atleast 2-3 days a week.i started having dandruff and flaking problems after 2 months but now i am 6 months post op and problem has diminished to large extent.

Rest assured dandruff will not affect your results and by chance if some transplanted hair fall with the dandruff flakes,they will grow back. Just dont peel them . I will suggest regular oil massage. It will help in fighting with dryness.

All the best

Man I think you made a great transformation and you still have a few months of growing left. I would be very happy if I were you.

Thank u for boosting my confidence

This timeline gets banded around a bit as a growth timeline and i pretty much agree with it from experience and what ive seen around. Still got a way to go.

 

Can expect more growth and more importantly maturing of all hair thats transplanted. The hair shafts becoming thicker and more course and changing colour. Thus reducing scalp visibility.

 

Additionaly hair groups first appear as 1's then grow in 2's, 3's,4's. Hopefully you had good group figures.

 

3 months - 10%

4 months - 25%

5 months - 40%

6 months - 60%

7 months - 70%

8 months - 75%

9 months - 80%

10 months - 90%

11 months - 95%

12 months - 98%

18 months - 100%

Bobilero, nice and new piece of info. Thanks .appreciate it.

The head on looks good, the top down is a little see through. That said, were those areas even planted? An immediate post op will help.

 

Look at the photo that Dr. Alexander posted, massive difference between 5 months and a year. You will likely get more growth.

Hi Spanker..

Thanks for ur comments.

I dont have good quality post op pics. All the head visible in 2nd pic was trasnplanted. So u can have an idea from that pic.

I was expecting a good density but it seems that full scalp covering will also not happen

I see a big difference from preop to now. 6 months is not the end of the game. Give it anoth 2 to 3 months then evaluate. Who was your surgeon?

Thanks for ur review. Can I expect more density in coming months??

As of now I cannot share the name of the surgeon due to some personal reasons.

Hi All,

How much growth should we expect after 6 months. I am 6 months post op but the growth is not as expected. I can see the scalp in normal day light. Please have a look at the attached pics and let me know your reviews.

I had 2500 grafts

First 3 pics are current pics and last two are preop

Hair does start to grow at 3 months after the procedure, but they don't all come out at the same time. It usually takes about 7-8 months to have all of yours growing, but many of them will be noticeable around 3-4 months and then they will begin to get thicker and more substantial around 6-7 months and a full result around 12-14 months.

Thank you for the inputs
