Hey everyone,
I wanted to post my results so far on my hair transplant. I've posted pre-op and now at 8 months along with pictures and measurement of my scar at 8 months.
I had a 22 x 1.2 cm strip taken out. That is 26.4 cm^2. Density estimated at about 210 hairs per cm^2 or around 80 FU. Giving me ~2100 grafts (doctor does not charge by graft, but this is what they estimate).
First, I admit, I wish I did FUE. This scar has really bothered me the past 8 months and I have to be pretty careful about how my hair is cut now. I was encouraged to do FUT by the patient adviser to get more hair.
I would like the communities feedback.
I have been told to wait till 12 months before making any decisions, but am questioning (based on others I have seen).
If this is really what I should be expecting?
I have coarse thick hair w/ good donor density and wanted my temples filled in with a bit of crown thickening. Hair growth hasn't seemed to change much in about 2 months. I followed cleaning procedures after surgery to the letter and took 3 weeks off work just to make sure I cared for this perfectly.
Pictures attached, but also included dropbox link for better quality pictures.
