1.  how long does it take for your hair to get back to preprocedure levels?

• took me 3 months for my hair to return to normal

2 - how long does the pain last

• about 2-3 weeks

3. when did you feel like your sleep returned to normal

• i'd say I'm still not back to normal, just because my head is still sore/numb 4 months after which is expected and normal

4. when does the pain and swelling peak

• pain was gone very soon. I honestly only took 1 pain killer after the procedure. Swelling was gone in a week

5. is the graft breakdown high density then?

• definitely a good hair/graft ratio. congrats

First noticed it a year out of college so maybe around the age of 23-24, but thats when I caught it, not when it actually started. If I look back at some of my pictures from college I definitely had thinning around 20-21.

Didn't do anything about it until years later hopping on fin and eventually a HT at age 29.

Looks like I was right.

can you post your initial starting point before any surgeries

Hardly any grafts implanted in the crown area, yet that grew back very thick too. Personally I think the lighting has been manipulated in the result. Don't get me wrong, it's still a brilliant result for 2k grafts, but look at the crown in the before and after, hardly any implanted grafts and it also seems to be so much thicker and denser than it was originally.

that’s kinda what was getting at me too. unless he’s on fin and had good results 

@Cahustler definitely is a prime example. I'm trying my best to remain patient myself.

nice artwork if you did it yourself

im tempted to do beard donor in the future. every single one I've seen heals perfectly. I just know with my luck it'll get messed up somehow 

seriously looks amazing man. if mine turns out like this i’ll be so happy. i just crossed 4 months and not seeing much... getting to that nervous stage 

I just dont see how this is possible. I understand men from India have great donor characteristics, but for 2000 grafts this seems like such a stretch. Do they only extract triples or something?

Hey everyone -

I am coming up on 4 months post op from my FUT procedure. I just saw some pics and videos of my scar my fiancé took, and I must say I’m not particularly thrilled with how it looks. Definitely wider than I was hoping.

I realize it’s only been 4 months and it’s still healing, but honestly what are the chances this shrinks in width over the next couple of months?

Can anyone provide their experience?

Thanks

tory just posted on his IG of a 1:30 video of him and his barber laughing

he’s got a ton of toppik in his hair in the vid i’m guessing

its funny cause he references his hairline in a lot of his songs recently lol

probably 1200ish. maybe towards 1500 at the max

looks great. when did you start to notice hairs growing and noticing a difference?

donor looks great

I’m 3.5 months (14 weeks) and I have yet to see anything pop.

When did you start to see hairs popping?

at what month did you experience growth? noticeable growth

dont know how I missed that 4 week update. hows it looking man? 

will be following. also.. nice username

Wait, Tom Brady had a transplant?

there's a lot of rumors out there

I did notice what you are talking about at the end when he was shaking hands. It definitely wasn't the most obvious FUT. It looked like there was a ridge of hair that didnt lay properly.

It reminded me of what @Yolando hair looked like on page 3 of his thread, about 2/3 of the way down the page.

no it doesn’t hurt at all. right now I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable. more just like “weird feeling” lol

My FUT/donor is still numb and sore after 3 months. It returns to normal bit by bit each day, but it's taking a long time.

I'd say its 80% back to being normal 

what hair is used for eyebrow implantation? seems like anything implanted there would grow unnaturally fast compared to real eyebrows

this is a homerun. I can't wait for mine to start growing from Dr. B. I am 13 weeks post op.... getting nervous

I just had a FUT procedure with Dr. Bloxham back in November. It's turned out really well (incision wise. still waiting for growth)

I would think a lot of doctors will recommend FUT for you, since you are a woman and FUTs are easy to hide with women's hair, assuming you wear it longer.
