Hi guys, thanks for the kind interest and follow up. I’m now exactly 4.5 months post surgery. Although it is not looking bad, I still feel the growth is not as much as I expect. Upon consulting doctor, I increase the minoxidil dosage from 1.25mg to 2.5mg about 1 week ago. Doctor did tell me that my growth is already above average and remind me of the patience I am lacking. here are some quick pictures taken few minutes ago. You can be the judge and share your feedback if you think my hair growth is good or otherwise. Thank you in anticipation!! 🙏🫡

I just completed week 12 (3 months) and took some photos. I didn't take many photos in the last 2 months as it is the hibernating period. There is not a lot of growth. Upon checking with Dr, she said that it takes 3 months after shedding for the hair follicles to enter new growth. It means I have to wait 4 months (post operations) to see any real improvement. So far, I notice some improvement compared to week 4 photos. Planted hairs are not 100% shedded off, perhaps some 20% remains. And according to the doctor, some new growth are observed.

This is my 6th week after operations. I started to feel really itchy with my scalp. Sometimes, I can't help but to scratch it hard. The more I scratch, the more itchy it gets. I wonder if this is normal as I read from others that acnes and itch will start when the new hair is trying to grow..... or.... I need to consult doctor?

Week 4 Updates: Shedding has started at week 3. By week 4, I think >50% of the implanted hairs have shedded, along with some shock loss as well. Honestly, even though I am fully aware of the ugly dugly phase but I still am hit by it, especially looking at the mirror every morning. I also feel itchy with both donor and recipient and started to apply the medicine (TA1% + antibiotic) solutions that Dr provided to me during the surgery trip.

Pal, I'm sorry to hear about your experience on Turkish clinic. At the early stage of my research, I was considering some other clinic not even used by any forummer here. So, in a way, I'm glad that I didn't go there. However, looking at the photo, I feel that the result of the temple and front hair line are not bad. Perhaps the crown area looks a bit scattered. So, I got a feeling that besides not so pleasant experience during the surgery, the end result will look good. So, best of luck to you and me. the forummers here are always best supporters.
