8 Month Update below:

5 month update below. Starting to see some decent progress and hoping this continues for the next few months. Had 3k graphs on a relatively small area so hoping that the density really picks up. I will say that I think I had some permanent shock loss in the front/mid scalp non-transplanted area as it is thinner than before. Maybe the density will return there as well.

Month 4 update below:

Two month update below:

Hey guys! I had my FUE procedure 1 month ago to restore my hairline. I'm 27 and have been on fin for 3 years now. I was very self-conscious of the receding in the corners and temples of my hairline. My recession was mild but something that was really bothering me so I ended up getting an FUE procedure done with one of the top ranked docs on this board. They did 3000 grafts till to in the corners and thicken the hairline. I wanted to bring in the temple peaks, but we were already doing 3k grafts so the surgeon wanted to focus on the hairline and didn't think the temple peaks were that bad. The first 6 pictures are pre-op. The next 5 are 1 day post-op. Then a few days post-HT. Then 3 weeks post-HT. Everything was going well till this point and I was feeling pretty confident despite still looking odd from the procedure. The last 4 pictures are 1 month post-op and I'm a bit concerned. Obviously shedding a ton in the recipient area which I expected, but also seem to be shedding a ton throughout the mid and back scalp. Is this normal shock loss? Or perhaps I never noticed how thin it actually was since my hair used to be longer? Trying to trust the process as I know everyone goes through the ugly-duckling phase and I'm confident in the surgeon I chose, but hard to look at how I looked pre-op vs now! Thanks all and will update as things continue to progress.
