Ok guys. These photos mark the 3 month update. Its exactly 3 months today since I had surgery. Some of the hairs that never shed actually grew. It seems as if a sparse few hairs may have sprouted too over the past few months, but by and large there has been very minimal activity yet. I'm not expecting much to become protuberant until month 4 and thereafter. I know that the hairs have been directed/angled to grow to the left, after years of pressing my hair to the left the hair seems to have a pattern of growth in that way. My worry is though that the angles/directions will be too extreme, or that they will grow out arseways and maybe look silly. Perhaps these worries are normal though? Of the few hairs that have been growing it seems as if most seem to point at a fairly normal trajectory but there are a few that are coming out pointing upwards and I don't want to see too many of them coming out like that. Another thing is that one or two seem to curl a little. As for healing, everything seems to be healed to an ok standard. There is still a slightly pink tint to the transplanted zones but I think this is normal until month 5 or thereabouts? I will maybe try to get more close-up better quality pictures of the individual hairs that sprouted so you can get a better viewpoint of them. As I mentioned earlier I have often whipped my hair to the left but for the purpose of a lot of my updates here I've been brushing it forward a bit. My hair traditionally always fell flat and forward. At this point I guess I am still excited, nervous and worried all at the same time. I believe month 4 - month 8 is when most of the magic happens so the next few months will be interesting. I hope everybody is keeping well.

Oh wow. I have done a bit of research on this forum and have noticed a few bad reviews, but I didn't realise the Youtube video that I posted was "junk." Also I didn't know that you have been sued on multiple occasions. The Youtube video that I posted intrigued me. I thought it seemed truthful and honest, and that's why I posted it here. In posting that video my intention was to raise awareness about dark corners of the HT industry. If I have done something very bad then I apoligize, but for the record my intentions bore no malice.

Hey guys, I stumbled upon this video on Youtube. I think its important for everybody with an interest in HT surgery to see this This vid offers an explanation as to why we don't see more negative feedback concerning HT surgery. Could it be that there are a lot of guys out there that are really shattered from bearing the force of bad transplants? Frightening and sad!

Mate thanks so much for your input and for that excellent photo. Those black tips are exactly what I'm experiencing. It is comforting to know that yours are also going against the grain because this makes me feel like it is perhaps a common phenomenon, and therefore hopefully the hair will fall flat with some extra time. Mine were implanted to grow slightly to the left, and I assume down my forehead, but there's a few pointing outwards at a 90/100/120 degree angle, like pointing up towards the roof, and some growing too far to the left. A few are growing down my forehead though which is what I want. Its a bit mad looking lol. Interesting theory on the black blobs. I haven't trimmed mine yet and probably won't for a while. I can see one of your blobbed hairs curling though, some of mine are also curling like that. A lot of my hairs shed in the first few weeks, but some didn't. Thanks again for your input bro. I'd be interested in seeing your transplant story, I can't find it on your page...

Man that is good to hear. Thanks for dropping in to let me know. I would say about 10 hairs are growing crazy for me and they are all singles at the hairline. The angles are just so strong, like they are vertical and even water doesn't press them down, they look so crazy. I'll try and clear my mind until at least month 4. Honestly though its good to know thar you noticed similar discrepancies too. I'd be utterly heartbroken if things didn't work out well. I hope you are keeping well yourself buddy.

No. I asked Dr Barghouti here though, he said not to worry too much until it has grown to a length where different styles can be tried. I'm curious to know if this is totally abnormal or not though. I'd like to hear from other transplant patients.

At 2 months is it normal for a few hairs to be grown but at very strong unusual angles? I seem to have a few hairs pointing out at mad angles and they won't go any other way for love or money. I just wonder is this a regular thing at this stage? I saw a post somewhere online that said at the 8 week stage that could just be a sign of the shaft lengthening and preparing to shed. The tips of these hairs are a little unusual too, they sort have a black tip on them, they look as if they've been singed, I assume maybe the odd tips are bulbs or something like that?

Here might be better. You can see incongruent hairs sticking up here.

I'll try get some later.

Its very hard to get a good clear picture. This is thr best I can do. You can't see much here but if you look closely you might see a few hairs pointing upwards. At least one hair comes out at such a strong trajectory that it points/curls upwards and won't easily sit. One of my worries was that he'd make a balls out of the angles/directions, he said I had strong patterns and he was implementing this into his procedure. I know its a long way out from the final result and I'll be delighted if everything is fine but this is a bit of a worry. My Dr was Dr Saifi in Poland. My native hair is kind of parted to one side here to place beyter emphasis on the recipient area.

Hey, I'm 2 months out of surgery. Most of my transplanted hair shed, but some didn't. Some of it has actually grown, but there's a few hairs pointing out at really wild trajectories. During my transplant I was told the hairs would be angled pointing a bit to the left (as the doctor my normal hair went that way), but what I'm seeing now is totally unnatural looking. I know I'm a very long way out from seeing the result but is this normal for this stage right now? I'll upload pictures tomorrow.

That's good, yeah. Is Dr Ashad really excellent?

£3 per graft is cheap for the UK. £8 per graft is still not as expensive as HRBR, Dublin. They charge €10 per graft.

Yeah, I've noticed they are super cheap but of course the cost of living India is so low.

Really? Wow, I wonder why not. His prices were cheaper years ago. They might continue increasing over time. John, that's what I thought. His prices are not bad, but the cost of living in Poland is generally quite low (compared to Ireland anyway) so by Polish standards he's somewhat expensive.

When I was there before Xmas I think his prices were: 10 PLN per graft for FUT (appx €2.25) 12 PLN per graft for FUE (appx €2.68)

Thanks bro. The donor area seems fine but maybe if I cut it shorter the signs of a transplant would be apparent, who knows! Its a waiting game now. Its testing my patience, I wish I could speed the clock up 6 months ha. I'm really hoping for a good result. I'll post an update again at the 3 month mark (10th March).

Hey, so today I am 7 weeks and 5 days out of surgery. Here is a pic that you requested. Last night I buzzed the back and sides to a #2 blended into a #3. Here is the result.

Hahah oh my God I bet they were shocked 😲

It is still early man. I'll try to remain optimistic and calm. Thanks very much bro.

That's exactly how I felt. I kept thinking that I was disruoting the process by going to the toilet.

Haha. I had to get up and go during extraction 🙈

Very interesting. A mild diuretic effect from steroids. That would make sense because I probably took about 5 breaks throughout the day. Cheers.

Haha I am good my friend. Getting bored with this never-ending lockdown though. How are you? I hope you're well.

Cool! Did you take many breaks during your HT?
