Did you make an appointment to get your halfway checkup or did you just walk in? I am just a little over 8 months.

Looks like shedding to me. I am in the same boat right now. I didn't start really shedding until more than a month after the procedure and it was very slow. I thought I was part of that rare percentage that never shed but once it started, it really started. Going from a lot of densely packed hair to seeing all of these gaps and patches has been the hardest part for me. But shedding is normal and we have to trust the process.

Hey I just got a hair transplant with Dr. Bloxham roughly a month ago. Mine was over 3,000 grafts covering roughly the same area as yours. During surgery, the techs remarked that I was also popping grafts even when I was asleep. No idea why. My scar was sensitive as well but I also have really sensitive skin and there was also dried blood after the stitches were removed. Eventually that came out with regular washing of the area. As for the bald spots you mentioned, I believe that is normal as well as people report shedding even at that time. For me, I didn't start shedding until over a month in. Now, I have probably shedded 30% of the hairs that were transplanted and have several spots that appear to have no hair. So now I am at this awkward stage where some of the hairs are growing long while others are short. I also have dandruff that I am working to keep under control. Will be following your progress.
