    8 month Update (Aug) While there has definitely been some thickening of the hairs vs the 7 month, I am still pretty worried about the sparseness in my hairline especially the center of the hairline. It looks much worse and sparser when I do a combover (left and right). As for the crown, I believe transplanted hair grows more slowly here compared to front based on what I heard from the forum...hopefully it will pick up the pace as well. I reached out to the clinic for advice and they told me to wait for the complete growth which will come in 10 to 12 months. I am also still on Finasteride 1mg, minoxidil, and multivitamins every day.

    Not sure what you mean? by area - are you referring to the whole transplant or just the front hairline? I have posted a graft breakdown for each area in my first post in this thread.

    I am on finasteride 1mg everyday since even before the transplant and I also take minoxidil. Also taking multivitamins on top of it

    7 month Update (July) My main concern is seeing the visible gaps especially in the hairline. Hoping that density will get better so that these gaps won't be visible anymore.

    Hi all, So its been 4 months since the transplant so thought about posting some updates of hair below. For starters, it seems my donor hair has mostly recovered from the shock loss and I can slowly see the darkening of my transplanted hairs. Hopefully I am on the right track.

    Thanks @Ryan Daniel and @JC71 - fingers crossed that I get an amazing result after 12 months post procedure Also I just took some pictures of my donor area with flash and I am a bit concerned now. I don't know if its shock loss or the bright light that is making things appear a lot worse but I hope this is not permanent: Sent these to the clinic now as well and waiting for their opinion on this. Hopefully this is normal and donor area will recover too.

    Hi @JC71 great timing - I was just about to reply to this thread haha Its been over 2 months since the transplant (2.5 months to be precise) so thought about posting my progress here below. These pics were taken at 2 months and 5 days post procedure: I sent these to the clinic as per their 2 month follow up and they said everything looks to be on track

    Yours is truly one of the best hair transplant results I have seen on the forum and was partly what inspired me to get my own transplant done by both Dr.Pradeep and Dr.Arika. I wanted to ask what brand of Vit E supplements you are taking? I am also looking to get a stack for myself haha

    Thank you so much for the feedback @MazABand @Berba11 From what I gather - the shock loss is temporary and will come back later? Incorporating minoxidil would probably accelerate its revival? Also for my current post op medication regimen - I am taking the following below: - Finasteride 1 mg per day (since 3.5 years) - Oral Minoxidil per day at 1.25 mg (I started this post op since I knew my scalp would not be handle topical min post procedure for quite some time. Will stop oral once I feel my scalp can take in topical without irritation) @Melvin- Moderator I wanted to get your feedback here - I remember you mentioned using oral min at 1.25 mg on a different thread - Wanted to ask how that experience was and if it helped with your regrowth/thickening vs topical min 2x a day? And if you experienced any side effects from the medication? - Purchased Hair Factor multivitamin from the clinic itself but for two months only. I think here I can just get away with using regular multivitamins. @MazAB- is there any specific vitamins/supplements you recommend to incorporate for a healthy hair routine? I remember reading your thread on this but was not sure what was best for hair specifically. - Also purchased topical Fin 0.25 from the clinic as I am thinking of introducing this once I restart topical min (probs after 2 months). But the topical fin will not replace oral fin - it will just be an addition to it as I heard the both together can slow down hair loss even more. However, please feel free to correct me here as I have little knowledge on topical Fin.

    Hi Guys, While uploading the pics - I noticed something odd in this pic below - The area in the box seems to very low density in this area - I was wondering if this is due to shock loss of my native hairs in this region? Wondering if you guys ever went through shock loss so early on after the procedure (pic is day 11 post op) - @nodono @HyderabadBlues @Berba11 @DJ40 @MazAB Perhaps it could also just be transplanted hair shedding from the wash?

    Post Head Wash I ended up doing three head washes at the clinic as all of the scabs didn't come off on the first try and since I lived near the clinic - I got it done there by the staff directly. Had one scab remaining. Doc told me to continue to use mild shampoo and the scab will fall off naturally in the next few days. Day 11 Pics below (post 3rd wash)

    Sorry for the delay as things have been bit busy due to holidays with fam. As mentioned in my previous post - here are the Day 4 and Day 7 pics Made sure to follow all the post-op instructions exactly as per given and the post op team would also send reminders for post op care everyday.

    Re-posting the post op pics now - hopefully its visible this time
