Give it 3-4 more months , it will slowly get better . Mine improved and I am only at the 3 month mark . 

In case you are wondering about restocking the donor ; Dr Mwamba had a great case here . The result may vary from person to person but it would be worth a try for the right candidate . 

Hairline 40-50 and the rest 30-35 would be sufficient  , Although your hair thickness and characteristics could play a large part in this process .   

That would be truly the dream . 

Thank you for your informative and detailed post , those are some of the top doctors in the industry and I would be comfortable with going to either one . 

You are going to have a great hair transplant .

Here you can see what lies underneath what appears to be a a solid donor area .... is a not so solid one.

I think Dr. Feller and Dr. Mohebi here were right, I have a certain level of waviness of thickness that are underestimated. And they hide the poor numbers. 

 

Your donor seems pretty strong 

Just fantastic , I am speechless. 

I agree , It will look weird .

The problem is that you have no control group. You will never know if your hair grew at the same rate if you never used any drugs, etc. The best way is to see post op as a marathon not a sprint. It's where you are at 12 months post op that is the deciding factor. The ugly duckling phase is a given (even temporary shock loss for that matter). By all means use finasteride, minoxidil, etc. But if you are going more aggressive with post op derma rollers, laser, topicals, etc, you really need to give your scalp a chance to heal first from the initial surgery itself and that takes time. My view is that it's the tortoise not the hare that wins in the end. All the best!

I agree completely , the shedding phase will happen regardless . Complicating things so much could really be counterproductive sometimes .

Great result , Is the patient on any medication ?

All seems completely normal to me , you are in the shedding phase and it will be over soon . We have all been there . Happy growing . 

Looks good , I think you can totally get away with it. 

Great work , happy growing . 

Very important question and a useful thread for many many people . 

Your donor looks very good and the hair characteristics seems thick . I think you will be an excellent candidate whenever you decide to have surgery . 

Time will tell but my donor got better and better overtime . I am only three and a half month post op.

Your donor is dense and the quality of the hair is good . You are a great candidate . 

If you are willing to pay that amount I would consider Spain/Portugal/Belgium as well . Do not play Russian Roulette with you hair.  

Awesome , looks completely natural . It is great to see more women cases .  

Scab removal went very well , looks clean . Best of luck to you . 

Do you have pictures?

10 days they are well anchored in . I would not worry about it . It is just a mild irritation that you caused which will subside quickly . 

Great result , That s movie star quality.

No way that is 5000 . What did the clinic say ? I would contact Mwamba , Bisanga or De Freitas for repair .  

I would wait 5 years . I know it is tough , I started balding at 18 , it effected my life for years , it was painful and I know it may sound funny but it may have changed the course of my life . But I m glad I waited till 28 to get a HT . It is extremely important that you know or at least have a strong prediction of what your final Norwood will be to have your donor/recipient managed properly . Our donors are limited and very valuable . 

It has to be examined by a surgeon but looking at at it I would say you definitely have more than enough for a second transplant . Just be sure to go to a top one and not a hair mill .
