  1. Looks a little slow, but i would say give it another couple months. Who was your doctor?
  2. I had an HT done about 9 months ago. I'm pretty happy with the results so far. I'd like it to be a little thicker, but i know I have another 3 months to go, and I'm just greedy. I've been taking Fin since I got my HT. And I use Rogaine once per day. The last couple of months, my wife mentioned that she see's more hair in the bathtub and sink and floor in our restroom. She mentioned for a while after i started taking Fin, that she didn't see too much hair at all...but just recently, seems to be more hair around. Not a ton, but enough for her to notice. WHAT CHANGED: 1. I got another new batch of Fin at Costco about 3 months ago. Could it be a bad batch and not working as well? Looks like it's made by Actavis. 2. I haven't been super religous with the rogaine the last few months. Where i will miss a day or two...but in most part, i try to use it once per day Or, could this just be normal shedding of my native hairs? Thanks for any advice or comments
  3. @ David, Thanks. I used to stress over it a little bit around the 4 month mark, but now that I certainly see growth, not so much. However, I wish I could somehow stop looking at it in the mirror, or every reflection I see. Sounds weird, but sometimes I see my reflection in the microwave in my kitchen, and with the light in my kitchen, it just seems to really show through and see my scalp. But when I look in my bathroom mirrors, it looks fine. I think I should just tape a piece of cardboard over my microwave! lol
  4. I wanted to post my 6 months updates. I'm pretty happy so far with the results. Of course, I wish there was more hair by now, but I know I just need to be patient. I guess I have another 6 months to go Much better from where I started at least. I attached preop and 6 mos update pics to see the comparison. Any feedback would be great!
  5. I'm just about at my 4 month mark. I know I can't expect much at this point, but I wanted to see if it looks like I am somewhat on track? I do see some thin hairs sprouting through, but certainly not from every incision. I would have thought by this point, all the hairs would have sprouted through, but they would just be very thin and short? The first 2 pics are my pre-op photos, and the 2nd two I just took last night at 4 months.
  6. What are the best vitamins/supplments to take after an HT to help speed up and support good hair growth of the transplanted hairs? My doctor sells 30 day supply of his own supplement for $30. Was curious if there is something out there on say Amazon for cheaper or maybe better? It contains: Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin E Riboflavin Niacinmide Vitamin B6 Vitamin B12 Folic Acid Biotin Pantothenic Acid Zinc Magnesium Inositol
  7. I agree, so time will tell how mine turns out. I'm almost at 3 months. I asked him why he didn't post here and why he wasn't part of the coalition list of doctors on this site. He stated it was for financial reasons. Although I would say that as long as he booked 1 patient per month due to this website, it would be worth it for him. But oh well, to each their own.
  8. I had 3000 FUT done by meshkin back in October. Too soon for results, but I saw some good results here from other people. Not a whole lot of reviews. He's been doing it for a long time as well.
  9. Just posting a picture at 1.5 months. Nothing really exciting. It seems some of the grafts didn't shed, but I can't really tell. Hopefully I start seeing a little bit of growth at the 3 month mark. I added my pre-op pic as well for comparison.The pre-op photo is the one where i am wearing the checkered shirt
  10. i would agree that your HT was considered densely packed. That's a lot of grafts for a small area, which gave you a great result!
  11. Just curious, in terms of getting good density, how many grafts per cm2 would be needed?
  12. Spanker, can you elaborate on this comment "This guy must have some ropes as hair caliber"? Just curious what you meant
  13. @ Athena, I just had 3030 grafts done by Dr. Meshkin. Were these results from just 1 transplant? If so, looks pretty good,
