Can you explain which photos are which it is not clear.

The five photos at the bottom of the first set look good. 

Styling and product used are key,  transplants can only create the is an illusion of coverage, not full coverage.  Have it too long and it will look thin.  Too short and it wont look right either.

Given you hair caliber and density implanted I would have expected more by now to be fair.  Though hair that is too long in direct light styled badly is going to look thin.

Hair thickness at 75 microns is way above average. Are you sure it is that high?

6160 hair over 80 cm2 is 77 hairs per sq cm. Which is not that high but your hair calibre at 75 microns is 40 per cent thicker than average so should help a lot. It also looks like you had some coverage there. From this I would say the stats look good. On top of this you are on the meds which is only going to help matters.

I would say lets see how it develops over next few months in terms of density before panicking. I have read a lot on here have been slow growers so you may well only be at 50% of the final result. Imagine another 50% growth would be enough to give you the appearance of a full head of hair.

You went to a very good clinic and it would be highly unusual for the final outcome to be 1. this early and 2. disappointing. Sit tight, do not worry about it - there is still time.

Hey guy's, as a long term reader and first time poster I'd like to finally post some pictures of my progress since my transplant back on September 5th 2017. I was meaning to do a month by month update like a lot of people have but I avoided that.

 

Before having my surgery with ASMED I was very confident I’d get great results and I never really stressed or doubted the procedure because of their success rate and I told myself that I wouldn't need the reassurance of progress pictures because of the simple fact that it would work.

 

Unfortunately, I fell victim to doubt and started comparing my hair to other user's a few weeks ago and thought I wasted my money. I hadn’t really noticed any baby hairs growing and I do check it every now and then but unlike a lot of users where the newer hairs are obviously growing within, I just haven't gotten that. I did feel a few pricks in my hair a few months ago but that was it.

 

I contacted ASMED and sent some pictures and they assured me everything was proceeding fine. I didn't really believe it until I gathered some before and after pictures and looked directly at the progress.

 

Wow was I wrong. I mean the density isn't where I’d like it to be yet and it is quite frizzy at the moment but looking at my pictures I guess I didn’t realise how thin my hair was pre op. I would like to one-day push my hair back as I’ve been hiding the thinning with a side fringe but these pictures really made me appreciate where I might have been of not for the transplant. If you’ve heard about ASMED you know they’re great and very caring and I’d without a doubt recommend them to anyone looking to get a transplant too.

 

There are very few people who know about my surgery so I don’t have many people to talk to but I guess I’d like for this post to help encourage other people to stay positive and definitely keep up the progress pictures because I will from here on out.

Its still a early to be judging density at month 7, the hair will thicken out over the next few months and will not stop till about month 18. It may be you are just a slow grower.

what were your stats out of interest, if you have normal thickness hair (c. 50-60 microns ) you need 100 hairs per sq cm in bald head to give the appearance of coverage, if you have think hair you need more, if you have thick hair clearly less.

1. Hair thickness in microns.

2. Hair to graft ratio average

3. Size of area transplanted and number of grafts transplanted

4. Are you on Propecia or similar?

5. Post all your asmed photos and stats so we can see what was done and where

To me you do not look that bad and perhaps 3000 hairs would give you a very good result assuming you have relatively thick hair and over 2.1 hairs per graft. But hard to judge withou the above information.

There is still another 3-4 months before you will have any idea of your final result. Particularly in relation to density.
