Beautiful hair line

Yes. That’s normal. Most of the transplanted hair falls out in that time. You will start growing new hair sometime around 3 to 4 months after the transplant.

Just to be clear. You are losing hair around and behind the transplanted hair but not the transplanted hair itself. Is that right?

It looks good. Hopefully this will resolve any issues you had. Keep us updated.

Honestly it might just be better to move on to another Dr. I don’t know why some clinics are so awful at responding to potential patients. It could be that they are way over booked but they should still reply to you to let you know that.

With those scabs gone it’s really looking good. Does the hair line have just a hint of a widows peak in the center? I always felt that gives the hair line a more natural look. I want to see how that turns out.

I’m surprised how good the crown coverage turned out. It looks great.

It seems to look like it’s filling in more compared to previous pictures. I know sometimes the lighting can make a difference. Do you feel like it improved any?

You usually have to stay on meds at least a few months before starting to see results so don’t give up on them too soon. It could take 6 months or more to see an improvement.

There are a couple of members here who have gone to Dr Bekir Bek. You can do a search for the Drs name and you should come up with a few results that you can view.

Thank you for coming back to let us know you went through with a hair transplant. Keep us updated on the progress. Do you plan on going back later to fill in the crown?

It looks about right for 5 months. Update us again in another month so we can see the progress.

In looks you’re right. But would he have played the part as well. I haven’t seen the movie so I can’t say but some people have the right skills for certain parts.

If you are a NW 6 or know you are headed there then I think it’s probably a good idea to use some beard hair from the start rather than waiting until some later time when you run out of scalp donor. If you mix beard hair in at the beginning the Dr can blend it in with scalp donor hair to make any differences less noticeable. If you wait until years later as you lose more hair then you’ll be stuck using all beard hair in a ring around the fringe area which may be more noticeable then if you blended it in with other hair from the start. You also will have to worry less about donor depletion since you’re not using as much scalp hair

It’s a good idea to try meds because you’ll get a better idea of what you can get with a hair transplant. If the meds work and you get some growth without having side effects then you will need less grafts and you may be able to go a little more aggressive with density or where you create the hair line. If the meds aren’t working for you, or if you get side effects, or just decide you don’t want to stay on them long term then you’ll know you need to be more conservative with density and the hair line design.
