I feel like a lot of my transplanted hairs have thinned and fallen out too. If they grow back in 4 months I'll be delighted. If they don't grow back in a few months I'll be very disappointed. I wonder what is the likelihood of my hair getting thicker and growing back? I've been on minoxidil and finasteride for 2 years now.

Its not so bad when the hair lyes flat or is styled right. Dr Saifi reckons it might just be the native hair thinning but I don't know, I think the transplanted area has shed a little. Anyway he offers a 10% discount on the 2nd and 3rd transplants if they're needed. But I think I'll wait a good while to see how things progress before going for a touch up. I'll post pics tomorrow.

I emailed my surgeon, but he lives in Poland and I live in Ireland so it would be difficult visiting him.

I never knew there was such a thing. Can you elaborate please dude?

I tend to use it almost every day, if I run out of a bottle I might go max 5 days without it, but generally every day or almost every day.

But I don't think it was taken from a non-safe area. I don't think my native hair has really thinned much at all to be honest.

What do you mean a visit to the scalp?

Is there such a thing as a seasonal shed?

Yeah it can still look like a good improvement if styled a certain way, but generally I am seeing and feeling a less satisfying result than I did a few months ago, and I think most of the thinning has happened in the last 2 months or so.

That's not good. Obviously this happens so. Any explanation for why it happened? Are you not worried that the 2nd transplant will go the same way?

The Hair Chemist guy is a bit cringey, very clearly a sales rep for Dr Saifi, but again I won't hold that against his surgical experience.

He seemed good and thorough in his duties. Took a lot of time and detail in doing my transplant. I didn't like the way he's pushing CR Labs though, but I won't hold that against his hair transplant skills.

I've had some stress with work and stuff but I'd be surprised if that has been the cause, I'd be pleasantly surprised if this is a case of temporary hair loss.

Guys I use fin and Regaine. I don't think its much of the native hair that's fallen out, genuinely seems to be the transplanted regions that are affected, with the worst affected area being on the left side.

Hi guys, I had 2,040 FUE grafts transplanted at Dr Saifi's in December 2020. Initially I was delighted with the results. But lately it seems like my transplant might be falling apart. The hairline at the left hand side has gone quite thin and sparse as you can see in the picture. It feels less dense and less strong than it did a few months ago. In the last 2 months or so it seems to have been faltering. Is this normal? What can I do about it if anything at all? I know a touch up is common but I am almost sure the transplanted hairs have been thinking and falling out, and it worries me. The transplanted areas look weak when scrutinised under certain conditions. It worries me.

Thanks guys. As for my transplant it seems to be holding up well, I've not had any issues with it yet and I'm hoping I won't need another transplant any time soon. Saifi is good but he seems very interested in selling expensive CR Labs shampoo and that was something I wasn't sure of. The only discrepancy in my transplant is around the temporal peaks some of the hairs look a bit funny but you can only notice it when the hair is buzzed very short. Thanks and good luck guys. Feel free to share my blog with whoever you want.

https://rossblogs.com/2022/03/17/my-knowledge-and-experience-of-male-pattern-baldness-and-hair-transplant-surgery/ Hi guys, I have a blog where I write articles, stories and poems every once in a while. Recently I decided to write an article about my experience of the hair loss industry. The link is attached above if anyone is interested in reading it or sharing it. Best wishes. Ross.

The transplant when scrutinized from a particular angle under bright lighting. Here you can see the disparity between normal hair and transplanted hair. I know that a touch up could probably bulk it up, but really I am not interested in getting it touched up because its generally not noticeable to the untrained eye when my hair sits naturally or when it's styled the way I like.

I accidently skipped the 11 month update. Sorry

I will do that tomorrow.

Yes I am satisfied

12+ months. This will probably be my last post. I will now bow out of this forum because my hair transplant problem has been resolved for the time being, and fingers crossed I will not have to worry about it again for at least a good few years. I have been on finasteride (1.25mg) most days for 1 year and 5 months, and I have been on Regaine 1 - 2 times per day for 11 months. I will probs drop my Regaine usage to once per day. I had my transplant on 10th December 2020. I am now 31 years old. These pics show how I generally style my hair (flat down or quiffed to the side), although I sometimes brush it upwards. I have reasonably good styling options with my hair. Some pics show wet hair. When scrutinised under certain lights and certain conditions a trained eye would notice that the hair is less dense and that it has been transplanted, but generally the hair blends well and the naked eye would not notice anything strange. Good luck, happy Xmas and happy new year everyone, and good luck with all things hair related. You have all been amazing

10 months

He just gave me an "age appropriate" hair line. He transplanted new hairs into the thinning/bald spots. He used 2,040 grafts so I have enough hair left in the bank for about 3 more procedures if I need them in the future...
