Expect both: more growth and maturing Hair standing up under direct light, though, without "some" see through is a tall order with only one HT pass especially if hair is fine to normal caliber at 5.5 months That said, the illusion of density even at 50-60 grafts/cm2 works best when hair is styled in a layering way or flat. This is not to say you will not be able to style other than this way. You will know much more in the summer. 5.5 months is just the beginning Looking good so far Happy growing

Stay on current regimen for a year and watch your hair transform. You will be amazed at what these two meds can do when used concurrently and consistently. Mark the calendar for a year, you'll see.

Looks like a cowlick I have one at the top back of my head and the hairs stand up at a certain length When flattened they provide the same full coverage as the surrounding hairs not in the cowlick pattern You have a great head of hair Congrats!

Totally normal Especially after spaying with saline/water.

Sounds like normal dry skin around the graft Happy growing!

My derm prescribes both 5 days Propecia / 2 days Avodart. BUT and a BIG BUT: Gillenator is correct about the effects of these meds on the prostate. Finesteride or Dutasteride, if taken separately, may lower PSA scores by up to 300%. Although taken together, these drugs may have a synergistic effect on hair growth, they may also have this increased effect on reducing PSA levels even lower than if taken individually. Make sure you get PSA BLOOD WORK prior to starting either of these meds (whether taken individually or together) for a benchmark reading, as well as yearly prostate exams and yearly PSA BLOOD work. This is not to scare you but only to inform you. If you are interested going down this path just find a doctor that has been monitoring patients on this regimen for a while.

Design couldn't be better Even if you need more density, this design will serve you (and future HT if you want them) very well (yeah, that little patch in the back is shock loss but it is very small. This will return, so don't worry) Congratulations!

Excellent result. Life changing result! Congrats!

Hahahahaha My bad. I know he feeling. Hope it all turned out well.

GO HOME! Get a few more opinions from the top docs then you can have a consensus re: what your are in store for Follow your instincts It wasn't a waste of time or money Doing it without being sure will be

easy fix. By Summer 201, you can slick it back out of the pool. DO IT!

Looks like these can be a bit "keloid-type" scars. Treatments are MANY so DO NOT FRET! Go on a few consults with high profile dermatology groups (probably big city) Take your time and see which one has the best plan to treat these. The plan will probably include a series of micro injections of kenalog and/or lasers Don't rush and try to find a quick fix. Remind yourself: THIS WILL BE RESOLVED

Great hairline shape! Looks like a winner, Congratulations!

Hey milo Not sure the technical part but I asked a doc about it and he said grafts for women are placed at a different angle than they are for men. This is when I commented on how pics of his women patients showed lowered hairlines 2cm with the same amount of grafts he suggested to use for my lowering of only 1cm. His explanation of grafts placed at a "flatter" angle (lying flatter on the scalp than a man's ) for women made sense. Maybe a doc that does women HT will chime in with his opinion.

One doctor told me that grafts for a woman are placed differently than in men. Like this / \ for women Like this \ / for men He said that you would not be happy with a woman's placement due to styling limitations, That is, it would look like a woman's hair style on a man's head. I do admire how temple angle closure look so complete with such a small amount of grafts But it's all in the angle

It's because they perform many XRays during the day. Days add up to weeks and to months! I agree with you though over your concern about xRays in general. But I think we may be over thinking it all

l in those pics. I see where I would want more grafts. Another pass or two (yes two) is all you need. Rarely is someone a ,,"one and done" case usually temple work that is not lowering hairline and those with great forelocks. Most others wind up having 2 or 3 passes over the years (some successive) to fill in here and there. In any case, I think it looks great for 8 months but don't think you are out of the norm if you want more density/design adj even at 12 months. It's most typical with HT but IMO not really pointedly wfocused on during the consults. It is usually mentioned as "well, you may need another one in a few years, etc... So many first HT patients are under the impression that this is it Give it 12-18 mons like people have recommended then have anther pass if you feel like. It is a great design. Congratulations

Pretty GREAT results! Congratulations! Of course you can add another 2000 for more density (WE ALL COULD) ....then after that addition add another 2000....then another....then.... You see where I am going with this. It all depends on your donor density, your satisfaction level with current and future densities and doctor's willingness. In other words, SHOULD YOU is a personal choice with some limiting factors. But I'd say HT 1 was a complete SUCCESS Congrats again!

Can't get a better answer than this But yeah shock loss and transection of surrounding hair follicles are a risk

Q: Does anyone know what determines the direction of the implanted hairs with FUE? Do the slits that the doctor makes determine the direction of the new hair? Or does it depend on how the technician implants it? ============================================================= A: With Fue and Fut both of those variables you mentioned determine direction.

Most HTs require a styling product (mousse, gel, putty, etc) of some sort for optimal visual presentation. Your pic of "hydra" hair looks dry. It is with a try until you get this fixed. If Lorenzo agrees to a surgery then he WILL fix this. It may take a few passes though. Maybe even some (not necessarily all) removal and re-designing the hairline. Worth a consult.

They're wet scabs. When they dry, they will turn hard and dark again until they fall. Edit: saw that you got answer confirmed by clinic and they fell off. Wanted to confirm from another patient experience. Best to you
