  1. Yes, maybe my crown area just gives the illusion that I have been losing transplanted hairs. I could just be losing non-transplanted hairs that are in the mix where the procedure was done. I also noticed that my hair always looks way thinner when I haven't washed it for a day or 2. I just washed my hair and took before and after photos and my hair looks a lot better in the after wash pic haha. I'm guessing this is a common thing people notice as well?

    My post op photos

    I had my hairline and crown areas worked on by Dr. Meshkin.
  3. So, I'm 10 months post op. I had both my hairline restored and my crown area filled. Both of these areas where not filled in really thick, but they looked a lot better about 4 - 6 months post op than they did pre-op. My wife mentioned that the transplanted hair in my crown area is looking thinner lately? I have been going through some stress in my life...could this be causing my transplanted hairs to fall out? I haven't been stressing too much, just a little. Could it be that the transplanted hairs actually failed and were just slow to fall out? It is frustrating because I'm not rich and I can't afford to have a ton of hair transplants. I thought transplanted hairs are permanent...so what is going on?
  4. Hello Romeo, it is great to finally hear back from you. I'm sorry to hear about your results...are you back in contact with Dr. Meshkin to fix this? I hope things work out. It has been 10 months since I had my hair transplant with Dr. Meshkin. I have not had any hair fall out and I hope it stays that way. When did you first start losing your transplanted hair?
  5. My hair transplant went well and my hairline and crown areas look a lot better than they were before. Some of the hairs on my hairline are a bit unruly and wirey, but that is probably because my hair is wavy. I will try to experiment with different hair styles in the near future. As for how to post, you just go to the forums and start new thread. If you just signed up, you might have to wait a little while before you can freely post. The admins have to approve your profile, which doesn't take long. Welcome to the forum!
  6. When you mention that the transplanted hairs had an unnatural vertical look, you are referring to transplanted hairs that are on your hairline pointed out yes? If that is what you mean, then that is the exact issue I'm having. My hairline has these rogue hairs that kind of dart out in random directions and some of these transplanted hairs literally point completely forward at times...like tiny unicorn horns lol. I plan to check out some hairstylists and see what they can do about it. I will also continue looking for advice on here.
  7. I had my hair transplant back in August of last year, so I'm going on 10 months post op. My hair pretty much finished growing in by about 6 months and hit a plateau. There has been no further volume since then. I have also noticed that the hairs that were transplanted were really thick and strong hairs from my donor area, which is great because it fills in my hairline...but a lot of these hairs are really unruly and almost have a wirey or pluggy look and structure to them? Is this a common thing? Unlike my hairs that are programmed to fall out in my near future, these new hairs are really difficult to style. Any hair style experts on here that could give me some advice? Gel? Wax? Blow dryer?
  8. So, my mother has been gradually losing her hair and she is looking for a product to help prevent and possibly restore hair loss. She is unable to take Rogaine I guess because she has heart issues. She also doesn't have the money for a hair transplant or anything like that. I'm wondering if Propecia and similar products are not recommended for people with heart problems as well? What are her options?
  9. Yes, I was thinking the same. I was just surprised that I didn't find any people reviewing this online. It seems very shady.
  10. I'm sure people on here have heard of a man named Jared Gates. He has something called "The Rebuild Hair Program". I'm betting my money on it being a rip-off, but what are your thoughts?
  11. These are good questions. I will actually call up the doctor and get this information again. I had it written down, but I misplaced the paper. I can post the details I get from him. As for the peach fuzz...these hairs can turn into long, dense hairs? It just seems unlikely, because it just looks like peach fuzz and nothing more. So the hairs will start out like this for a few months before they start forming into actual hairs?
  12. I'm hesitant to just pull out the possible dead hairs because they might not be dead. New hairs might not even sprout to take their place as far as I'm concerned. I will just have to give it more time, but it is difficult for me to imagine my hair looking really thick and dense because it just seems like I didn't get enough grafts done. My hair looks less bald now, but you can easily see how much less dense my hair is in the crown area. So am I waiting for the hair in my transplanted areas to grow long enough to hide the baldness or will these hairs also make these areas much more dense as time goes by?
  13. I had a FUT exactly 4 months ago and I have have yet to notice any hair growth at all on my hairline. Is this common? I'm trying to stay positive and believe that my hair just grows really slow, but I'm starting to think I'm one of the failed cases that show poor results. People tell me that they see little hairs sprouting, but those are the hairs that were transplanted 4 months ago that just haven't either A) fallen out or B) grown at all since the transplant. I also noticed that my crown area looks more bald this month than last month? It can hardly be disputed if one takes a look at my profile photo album. Could it be that I'm shedding and that the hairs will grow in? I'm disappointed in the lack of density as well. It seems like I should have had a much larger number of grafts done. It seems like the transplanted hairs in the crown area are growing longer, but not at all growing in density. Is this another case of not being patient? It sure seems like things aren't really working out the way they are supposed to. I can understand maybe have at least a tiny bit of growth in the hairline by 4 months, but NONE really?
