In general in hair transplants you have to comb the hair in one direction to have better illusion of density and not part the hair in different directions like you did in this photo. Anyway you still have 5 months to thicken up.

I guess agree to disagree there's a whole slit of hair missing from the left side of my head

Did you hit your head on the left side?  I think you lost all the grafts there. 

no i never hit my head after surgery

Did you previously have hairs on the left side? From the post op picture it looks like the grafts was spaced out  and a lot less grafts was implanted there compare to the other side.

can you btw post a similarly pic from the right side too so i can see the difference?

Both sides where receding equally i just combed my hair over to the left. Here's the right side; the hair over all is still kind of thin (which i know is fine for 7 months) but this side doesn't have a super obvious bald spot

Hope the best ! Happy Growing! 

thank you friend

Its Month 7  and this bald spot isn't getting any better I don't really have much hope for it at this point. rest of the the hair looks okay though

Month 6 still concerned about my left side having a bald spot, its not so bad in dim lighting but if you're in a brightly lit area its pretty noticeable

Month 5 update: Every things been going well I think, hair is starting to thicken up very happy so far!

looks like he's just combed it that way

I don't really own a comb. that's just the way its been growing but i haven't really been bothered by it yet. When you zoom out it looks fine 
What I am worried about is this bald spot it matches up with this cluster hopefully they're just late bloomers
 

Month 4 Update: Its been a good month I've grown a lot more hair. its still thin especially in good lighting but in dim lighting it almost looks like a full head of hair. Month 5 and 6 are gonna be fun i can tell.

Month 3 update: my head isn't sore or numb anymore. Other than that nothing interesting besids some wispy hair

what's was DR Yamen involvement with your surgery?

He just made all the incisions and came to check up on the techs 4-5 times during the day

Hey @Gup. Your donor looks great post op. It's a long twelve month ride so I wouldn't read anything into your journey for at least six months. Happy growing! 💯👌

Your donor has healed up nicely...and recipient area is during shedding phase as expected...👍

Thanks, guys, all good so far after 2 months with a little bit of growth. my original hair is still looking a light but I think that it's still healing from the trauma since its only been 2 months. Switched over to pill Fin (I did .25 MWF this month without issue so I'm going to .5 next month)

see you next month

Good luck...You made a great choice by selecting Dr Yaman. I will be following ur journey !

Thank you Here's the 1 months update. just shedding as expected.

Also starting pill form of finasteride this week.

See ya'll next month 
 

Does anyone know if this bald spot is normal? I know there's a thing with shock loss but I figured it would be more diffused

@Gup

Thanks for posting your journey and best of luck...are you on any oral medication or still using topicals ?

Hey just topicals for now + the vitamins they gave me which have Saw palmetto. Been thinking of switching to just finesteride and vitamins and dropping minox since it didn't really do much for me over the last year

3250 usd is Great value for money for such a good and experienced surgeon like dr yaman …

I will be following your journey. Waiting for your result. 😃

Thank you! Yes I agree not looking forward to the ugly duckling phase but very happy with the potential.

Quick Update:

Here's my donor area 2 weeks after surgery

happy growing...The design looks awesome...Dr Yaman is a great surgeon.

Can you tell us the total number of grafts and the cost of your hair trasplant ?

thanks!

Hey it ended up being 4700 in the front and mid with some in the vertex. And the cost was 3250 USD

Everyone's saying  wait a year and you're doom posting a month later.

scabs are off

Quick donor area picture still a little swollen 

Hey guys just a quick update I just got back to the states. Here's a picture of my scalp. Once I'm feeling less tired and my head stops being swollen I'll write up a review of my experience

good…but you also need to apply it on the back of your head..in the last pic…do you see the difference of coloration? you can already see the pattern of a horseshoe forming (the horseshoe is darker because the density is higher there)

 

 

I have been but my hair hasn't responded to topical at all I'm just gonna switch to pill fin after surgery.
My surgery got delayed to this week for work reasons but ill post updates when I get back  👍
