Is this true? Anybody?...

Yes, In my case at least, at 8th month now I can see that is really happening, I will try to post some close shots for reference soon.

Looks great! I hope your concern regarding density in the previous update is no longer troubling you.

I still have some sparse growth but things are looking better now. As everyone mention I got this much grafts and this much hair per graft. Now I can see how that works. I think in my case most of the grafts are already grown (except in few areas) but now I can see single hair is converting into twos or threes, which was expected and in upcoming months that will increase density for sure.

This is a phenomenal job on the hairline. I'm excited for you to have such an excellent result.

 

Have you been taking biotin and only washing twice/week from the start?

First of all thanks for your kind works, My hairline is still sparse but I can see new growth in after 8th month. Hopefully it will make it better in next couple of months.

Second, yes I continuously taking 5mg biotin and fin 1 mg up to 7 months and then reduced to half tab daily. After 6 months I started Multivitamin 2 tabs daily from Optimen.

Another things I brought 99% aloe-vera organic extract online in spray bottle and used sometime, that is very good for hair growth. Also I am using organic baby oil and shampoo from honest company as my kids are using same. Nothing special, sometime I wash my hair after 3-4 days and sometime after 2-3 days no particular days. Just don't wash too quickly and don't keep them dirty as well for long.

Great transformation Ghumanz!

 

When are you planning to get the crown addressed?

Just a word of caution, don't deplete your donor completely. Have some for the lateral humps just in case if you lose them in the future. Consult with your doctor about how much lateral humps would need and use the rest for the crown...

 

Congrats again

Thanks bro, I have no plans yet, I want to give it full time for maturity. Also I regrow some hair in crown area, I think that is a result of Fin. Currently I am fine with using occasionally concealer in crown area.

Looks really really great bro. considering where you started from you must be insanely pumped

thanks for the kind words. :-)

Hi Ghumanz,

 

Thanks for your continuous updates. I can almost feel you trying so hard not to get overly excited with your results so far!

 

Have a look back at your pre-op pics just a few months ago and compare them to where you are now in such a short space of time........ I know exactly what you are going through my friend, enjoy the special moment.

 

I'm sure the forum would love to see you progress even further, thanks for keeping us all updated.

Totally agreed but still I have to cover my crown, want to get rid of the concealers. I want to reserve my excitement for that moment. Also I have few areas less grown or maybe as every other transplant patient that area is just a slow growing area. I know it is fixable thing during crown coverage, so not too worried about it. I am happy with my results so far and confidence is back again. :-) At-least no one can see my baldness through front posing pictures. ;-). Big thanks to Dr. Bhatti and his team again. Hopefully next few months will be more exciting.

That looks great Ghumanz!

Thanks!

I am getting new sprouts even after 7.5 months. Check out my thread specially top shots. At 6 month I was about to declare my HT below average but now around 8th month I must say it is above average and I know it will still improve little bit.

Hi Ghumanz,

 

Thank you for the update. Your results so far look good. Very happy for you.

 

Best regards,

California

Thanks!

wow nice results mate, congratz cheers mate. its the waiting game for me now :confused:

Yes it is a waiting game, which is little hard but as per my own experience, don't consider final results until 12 months mark, I know mine will improve further as I notice now after 7.5 months, new sprouts feel to my fingers after a close look I notice single root is now producing another hair which were grafted as three hairs in single graft. Till now most of the roots have single hair but if in next few months I get more hair from single root it will be fantastic to see.

nice hairline

how's the top view looking?

I am attaching a picture, that includes crown as well. More pictures will be posted soon.

hi Ghumanz, how is hair coming on this month? your were looking good at 6 months, i to had hair transplant with dr bhatti, am only 2half wks. my hair loss was similar to yours i might just had wee bit more on top.

I think my recent update will answer your all questions and concerns. :-). Congrats on your HT, hope you will also get good results.

I am approaching towards 8 months next week, last night took few pictures and want to update you guys. So far everything is looking very well, I am satisfied with my selection of doctor and the decision to cover only half area in one session as I had a big head to cover. Still I have some areas with less growth but I can understand it is hard to achieve teenagers look with just 2942 grafts. Still I feel lucky to choose Dr. Bhatti over other cheap options available in India. No body can notice like I had a hair transplant 8 months ago.

My hairline and texture of hair both are looking very natural. These picture are taken under a light from top on head and with flash, as you all know transplantation is all about to hide your baldness and a way to manage your hair to look normal. I know in next session when I will cover my crown Dr. Bhatti will take care of other less grown areas too.

Two weeks ago more hair were sprouted and hopefully that will make some difference. As everybody says it takes 18 months for 100% maturity, I think that is true and I notice improvement every week now.

FYI:- We had a family function few days ago and I colored my hair first time to cover some grey hair. That come out very well and I get very fuller and with little bit more thick look.

One more thing as Dr. Bhatti told me to take meds just for 6 months but I decided to take it longer. Now after 7 months I reduced the dose from 1 mg to .5 mg daily just want to play safe (No sides so far). Have plan to reduce further to .25 after nine months and will keep continue with this small dose as long as no sides.

@lorenzo thanks and agreed.

It's still early days man and it looks to be improving well. Everyone grows at different rates. The front view looks very good and that is the most important view

Thanks for the encouragement. I agreed front view is important. :-)

@n00b, yes these red pimples are new growth, I am using antibiotic ointment to tackle them and all of them having hair in center, mixed feelings because thickness is not up to the par yet. But definitely improving.

I am sharing my 6 months and 1 week post OP pics, texture of hair is improving lot but still having mixed feelings. Front part of head is not looking bald any more but still thickness is not that I want.

I know I still have few months for improvement as I have few hair in-between just 1 mm in length (sprouted few weeks ago, due to which I got few pimples again which are curing themselves in usually 3-4 days.) I hope time will fill those gaps too. I am posting one picture from top as compared to my last update it is looking better now.

FYI:- Crown was not touched and I have plan to cover that part next year.

Thanks California. Definitely I will. :-)

Looking amazing at 7 months and with only 2050 grafts, congrats man and kudos to DR.

Thanks Romperstoper, these kind of words always encourage for being patient. :-)

Hello, As I am noticing a big difference as compared to 3rd and even 4th month now at 4.5th months post OP, I though I should post another update with some comparison. Hair color, texture and shape everything is improving day by day and process is looking as expected at this stage.

Front (hairline) is ahead of other areas, top is still lagging behind little bit but I think will catch up very soon.

Please let me know what you think about it, all pictures are taking with flash so definitely showing little bit different as compare to normal texture of hair.

Also still noticing some pimples every other day along with a hair in middle of each pimple and that give me more encouragement and relief for better growth in upcoming months.

Hello Everyone,

I skipped 3rd month update as there was nothing major to report and now posting pics taken at 4 month. At that point hair started to regrow at once and due to that I got lots of pimples and irritation at scalp, pimples were every where and then I contacted Dr Bhatti through email. He responded within few hours and he prescribed some antibiotic ointment and that took care of it.

Please let me know your views about my progress and the pimples etc.

@Shera, thanks bro. Hope results will be similar to you as well. :-)

@Sultsay, Thanks and good luck. Dr. Bhatti is definitely as good choice, no regrets even just 2 months post OP.

@Andi9 I will upload some pics soon but both sides are doing well since day 1. Very minimal shedding on sides and I can feel new hair as well. It requires some time to fully mature and darken the hair but still it is looking better than before.

Top is filling up now, as compared to last month there are some improvements but it is too early to say something. As mentioned in previous posts along with existing hair some transplanted hair are also growing. Little bit of itching is still bothering me, few pimples as well but nothing major to report. I am attaching 3 pictures, front view, top view and zoom-in which shows new hair are sprouting. Hopefully next couple of months will be more exiting.
