Anyone find a productive regime of supps etc to slow it down?

Minox' works in cycles but sometimes it even seems counterproductive due to prolonged use and Fin' starts losing efficacy after the same thing. Huge proponent for both due to them putting up a good fight for a sustained period at least.

 

Why would you want to slow the shedding phase down if the transplanted hair are destined to shed?....the faster they shed the faster the go into rest phase then awaken and grow new hairs.

Very nice for only 6months!

Fantastic!

Very nice result, although, I thought for a minute the patient was in his 40’s by the look of his more “mature” hairstyle in the after photos, but still a nice result. Also, you really should post before and after photos that correspond ie. dry before and dry after.

Nice result, although, since the patient doesn’t take or want to take any medication he will probably loose the original frontal hairs that look to be thinning in the pre-op photos and will need another ht to fill in the gaps.

Good results, but what is the time frame of the results?...It’s a very simple thing to note when you post a case.

Nice and natural looking result, well done!

Very very nice and natural result and good to see it looks the way it does 3 years post procedure.

Fantastic results @HTREGRETS congrats!

Front looks great man even after the shed, donor looks ok but nothing too concerning. Looking forward to your updates. 👍

Good Luck, Stephen!

Thanks for posting, please update us with your progress on your 2nd Ht.

Thanks Nick

 

Yours looked thicker at 4 months than mine does tho. 

 

Here’s mine today 

 

Your hair in the photos is long compared to Nicks 4-month photo, and long hair does look more sparse than when it’s cropped and cut shorter, His turned out great , so should yours.

Temple points look very good, the frontal area does seem to be lacking density and a bit see through, but, you do have many more months for it to improve.

Thanks for updating!

Hey man, your hairloss is pretty advanced for your young age, I agree with Spanker’s comment. Your donor area looks okay but if you give it a couple of years on minoxidil/finasteride/biotin and see if it benefits you first, and see if your hairloss has advanced further, then after it would be viable to get a procedure done if you’ve done your research for a suitable surgeon. Good luck.

Thanks, but have you looked at the spacing of the grafts? I just cannot see how the density could possibly be sufficient. Seeing it along side my native hair, the density is like 25% of the native hair. So I’m pretty sure this time next year I’ll still be planning my next HT or waiting for full growth from my next. Take a look at the graft spacing and let me know what you think. I said this to the doctor but he said that the density is optimal. However, it’s like half as dense as what docs like Feriduni do...

The graft spacing AFTER the first 2 front rows all along the hairline and temples looks just a bit more spaced out, possibly because the doctor placed 2 or 3-hair grafts there and 1-hair grafts in the first and 2nd rows along the hairline, if that’s the case the density should turn out well.

More grafts spaced close together doesn’t necessarily mean a dense result. It looks normal.

And just read on your initial post you had many quadruples as well, that’s great! Those are possibly the ones spaced out and room to grow.

Dude!  Chill. Id go with what a member of an insect named musical group once wrote...Let It Be!

You’re asking for disaster if you want to get the grafts removed after such a short period of time. Let it heal, grow, if not happy with results after a year then repair options are viable.

Very good result.

What is the result time frame?

Why compare wet before photos to dry post photos, not a proper representation to be honest.

How’s month 10 coming along?....more improvements?

Don't think being a slow grower is the reason, although my hair grows quite slow in length compared to the average person. My post scab density didn't seem very dense and I thought that maybe the reason was a lot of hairs fell when I removed the scabs/crusts but I guess it's just not many grafts survived.

It’s normal for hairs to shed and fall with scabs, that doesn’t indicate bad density in future results, as long as the root of the graft is properly implanted and yes, survived.

You just might be a slow grower, although, for 5-months it looks normal to be honest, if you don’t see improvement within the next 3-4 months then you can be concerned.

Looks good and typical for 4-months growth.

Google 5 month & 12 month hair transplant timeline, choose photos to view.

Any more opinions on this? Still contemplating my options

1. 3000 over one day - less spent on accommo.etc, less hassle, more convenient, all surgery done on one day so ?less shock

2. 3000 over 2 days - slower pace (hopefully less error), less 'graft out, awaiting implantation' time

 

IMO, I would choose 1-day, get it all done and taken care of (as long as I’m the only patient for the clinic that day) then able to just relax and not stress about another days worth of harvesting and implanting and needles etc etc. and move on to healing well.

Looks like he still had a decent amount of native hairs mid-to-back of his scalp, albeit thinning, which would make it look like better density when grown out and long, as well as the fact that he’s combed over a portion of his left natural to give the illusion of greater coverage. Looks like a reasonable expected result given the amount of grafts.

Oh, and layering. 

Hey man,

For less than 4-months post-op your initial (early?) growth looks very very good, bald areas seem to be filling in nicely, hairline shape also looks good. Keep updating. Happy Growing!
