Hi Guys,

Been busy with things so not had chance to update. Please find below pics of month 6. Growth has been slow so far, not gained the density I was looking to achieve. Will there be more growth coming?....only time will tell. Not concerned as there has been some changes and am hopeful for more in the coming months. Scar has healed nicely, grade 3 nothing shows except for old scar. Will continue my update. Please share your comments on what you think so far.

Good tip never compare your self to others ht is a individual sport!

I agree, let's see what growth month 5 brings...

Well you defo aren't a fast grower. I personally dont see much happening if you take into account lighting but some people get lucky and would have significantly more growth than you but things should kick in towards a fashion that will make you happy soon. I'm a medium to slow grower unfortunately, the best kick in is around 6 months but it starts at 4 months for me and i feel stubble poking through my crown at 12 months post op. my point is we're all different!

My original hair tends to grow fast....do transplanted hair grow slower at first due to surgery?

Hi Fullness,

 

I agree with the others that you will look like a new man in months to come but the growth has started quite clearly already and there is coverage coming in sometimes you don't notice it as the hair is finer at first.

 

Here's a pre op and your 4 month pic to compare, the new growth is quite clear. Please keep the updates coming and I look forward to meeting up with you in London soon to see how you are getting along in person.

 

Thanks Garageland. Let me know when you're next down to meet up.

I think in 2 to 3 months you'll look like a new man.

Thanks Spanker, the growth is showing signs of kicking in just waiting for these few months to pass...

How things progressing? You must be month 4 now...

Guys let me know what you think of progression so far.

Ok, below are some pics for month 4.

Recipient area:- Things have healed well here, and all sensation is back. This month I have started to see more visible changes happening with really thin hair sprouting, though slow in growth some activity is definitely happening. On touch, I can feel soft stubble like texture throughout the scalp. I know its still very early days, but can't wait for these thin hair to start thickening up and create coverage.

Scar:- Healed well, had a grade 3 home cut and scar is not visible. Numbness still at the back of head. The shock loss is returning real fast here. Again stubbly around the scar area. Happy with this as I can now start cutting hair short side and back.

Overall I am progressing at a steady pace. Can't wait for month 5 and see things thickening up. As usual please let me know your views.

Hi Fullness,

 

Thanks for the update, you look on track and as expected there is not a lot to see at the 3 month mark in terms of improvements and other than the native hair being a little longer than the 2 month stage you are probably going to be the same.

 

You had a little shock loss around the scar so it is expected that you will start to feel stubble around here also, if the spots aren't causing you any trouble and are just red then you can leave them alone.

 

The fact you can feel stubble is a very good sign and that will continue as more hair sprouts over the next few months.

 

As you mentioned donor above the scar will be numb for a while longer, mine is still part numb and I am 2 months ahead of you.

 

Look forward to seeing your 4 month pics.

Thanks Garageland, bring on month 4.

Tick toc hurry up and wait!! Great updates.

I need to stop looking at that clock, but yeah agree.....hurry up! Thanks.

You look to be right on track to me. I expect that based on your donor hair quality and doc, this is going to be a monster result. Happy growing!!

Thanks, hoping for positive outcome!

OK guys, finally the big month 3. So heres some update pics below. On observation in recipient area I can see the shock loss hair returning and some of the new transplanted hairs creeping out, but on touch the area definitely is feeling stubbly, hoping thats a positive sign.Donor area is healing, but on occasions get spots, must be hair coming out. Area is still numb, but that is expected.Please have a look at pics and let me know what you guys think.
