    9 MONTHS Here is a comparison pic at 9 months to before the op. This is the best I have for 9 months and here are better photos of the current state, mostly taken when wet 10 MONTHS I don't really expect to see any major improvements for this point forwards. I'm very happy with how it has turned out, although I can't wear my hair back because the left side has remained weak through the whole process. I think in the future I will possibly get a 2nd procedure to patch up the weakness in the hairline. For now I can just wear my hair to the side and it looks fine

    Hey mate, I don't visit the forum any more really so sorry for not replying before your surgery! Hope it all went well. Progress pics to follow

    Looking solid mate! Plenty time left for it to thicken up some more

    Hey mate, any updates?

    6 MONTHS Hey guys, it's been 6 months now so I thought I'd give an update. It's looking pretty good, however it's still thin when you look at the hairline. I'm sure this will improve over the next few months though. Here are two close up shots and a comparison photo to before the surgery under normal light

    Thanks for the encouraging words! When I was discussing my hairline with the doctor I told him that I always had a high hairline and the main goal was just to fill in the temples. Before the transplant I used to wear my hair almost sideways like a mini combover so it doesn't actually look like that different of a hairline. It just looks better to the eye and allows me to wear more styles and not worry about the wind. However you will see in a week with the high quality pics that it's still too thin on the left side, and there is also one big multigraft on the left side hairline that I think stands out. Maybe I will start pulling a couple of the hairs out of it with tweezers in hopes of them not growing back lol. But other than that I am very happy so far! I think I will be completely satisfied with the final result after a year 😁 Here is an example of my childhood hairline which shows how high it was to start

    I'm about a week away from 6 months, I'll post high quality photos then. Here are a couple comparisons, one from a couple years ago and one from a couple months ago

    Worst case if it turns out to not be as dense as you like, you can have a touchup to add more density. It looks like the hairs that were transplanted are growing 😁

    I've just shaved the sides to 7mm. Here's how it looks styled with a little bit toppik

    5 MONTHS Hey guys, here are the 5 months pics. It's looking better and better the more it grows out and fills in. Next month it should be long enough to style back so I'm excited to see how that looks. I suspect I'll need a bit of toppik when it's styled that way. Let me know what you think

    Hey mate, how's the progress looking? Did you have much change the last couple months?
  12. 147break
    No you don't need a caregiver. I had my operation in another country alone and just made sure the house was full of food when I got back so I didn't have to leave. Then after a week I was able to go outside with a cap

    Not sure, I shaved it down to a 2 and it looks like this a week later Maybe if I shaved it down closer to the skin they'd be visible

    I'll update each month 👍I'm growing my hair out now that there is at least some hair at the front to grow the same length. I put together a side by side with 3 months vs 4 months and it's made me feel much better about the progress!
  15. 147break
    Impressive!
  16. 147break
    No, he didn't give me that info

    4 MONTHS Posting another update because I buzzed my head down to a number 3 guard. Couple days shy of 4 months, hoping to see some more growth this next month
  18. 147break
    Hey mate, any updates?
  19. 147break
    I think this photo is better to compare against the 3 month photo. The lighting is the same
  20. 147break
    Hey mate, yes I've been using fin since before the surgery but I only started minoxidil a couple of weeks ago. I only use minoxidil once per day before bed too

    16 WEEKS Hey guys. Just a quick update, hair is starting to grow now. I had hoped for more progress at this stage but I understand I'm still early days. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

    I think your donor area looks very good, especially for 5000 grafts. I don't think anybody would notice anything unless they were looking for it. But I agree, it seems like SMP is a good solution for donor scars

    Amazing! Glad it worked out so well for you
  24. 147break
    You definitely need to see a dermatologist about that as soon as you can, I don't think it will go away on its own

    3 MONTHS Hey guys, just thought I'd do another update since another month has passed. I'm stuck indoors like most people so it's making the growing phase a little easier until the redness completely fades. There has been a small amount of growth but nothing really noticeable without the flash on a picture. Here is a photo with the flash and one that shows more what it looks like in real life
