Hi all,
This is my first post on the site after having an FUE HT back in January 2015. I have found this site to be THE most useful tool when I was contemplating whether to have an HT or not with invaluable information being shared. As such I thought it was about time that I share my pre and post op pictures and experience with others as well.
I had a hairline restoration FUE HT earlier this year. I had 740 grafts without shaving the recipient area.
During the first few weeks post-op I didn't really experience too much shedding and even started to see growth. However, I am now just past the 5 month mark and am getting concerned that there is not enough growth. I know that everyone probably gets a bit anxious around this time, particularly if they are not seeing the level of growth they would like. However, I am also very much aware that 5 months is normally too early to really tell how successful a HT has been and that everyone grows at different rates.
I have seen people post on this site who have had remarkable growth by the 5 month mark and those who have had slow growth up to 5 months and beyond but then a sudden burst in months 6-12.
I have scheduled a follow up consultation with my surgeon at the 6 month mark so I thought it would be good to obtain some impartial opinions before then.
Should I be concerned or am I just being impatient?!
Anyway, any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
