Regular Member Midiman Posted August 11, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi action, That's definitely new hair based on your week 5 pics... congratulations! I think these guys will stick around for a while. At week 4, I'm starting to shed my 2500 w/Keene now. I'm glad to see your progress in that we're only a month apart. Sure is tough at first isn't it?

BodhiZepher Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi ActionRadar, You are looking good. Are you taking Propecia? There will be a difference between 3 months and 6 months. Keep documenting. I just got back from Tucson. My 2nd with Dr. Keene. I increased the density. Only 1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member actionradar Posted September 19, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 19, 2006 hey BodhiZepher yes ive been taking propecia for about two years now. so how did your second procedure go buddy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodhiZepher Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It went really well. I actually remember the movies that I watched this time. I flew home the next day, which flying really sucks these days. Went back to work 5-days out, and no one noticed. The redness went away pretty quickly. Just going through a little bit of the itchies right now. Looks really good. I'll try to post some pics for you this weekend. It is much easier the second time around. You know what to expect.

Regular Member actionradar Posted October 17, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2006 hey everyone well this is my month 4 mark, i can see some signficant growth now, but what i think is kinda weird is that one side is growing much more than the other is that normal , will that even out? what do you guys think?

Senior Member MrJobi Posted October 20, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2006 Hi Radar Big difference than day 1 .. It will take 6 months or so to see a BIG difference. Personally. I see the biggest difference between months 8-10 ( in my 2 HT's).. It can be common for hair to grow in slower or of an odd texture.. Give it 12 full months before the assessment is made.. Good luck JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor.

Senior Member hairbank Posted November 14, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hi Action, Thanks for the update. Judging by your original pics you appear to be a little bit of a late bloomer. Following the outline of the hair placement pattern you should have plenty of sprouting/growing to do. Hang in there my friend! The next couple of months should be interesting for you.

Regular Member actionradar Posted November 14, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 14, 2006 hye maki whats up! its growing more on the right side maki that is true hairbank im kinda late bloomer, but is that normal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted November 14, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted November 14, 2006 action- Yes....it's somewhat normal as growth seems to vary a lot from person to person. Another late bloomer that comes to mind is Gorpy. Just give it another month or two and see how it goes.

Regular Member actionradar Posted December 17, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2006 ok well heres my month 6 mark and some pics, i think im really slow on growing my hair, but i have always been like that,i just hope its me that grows slow and not my graft that didnt work, so it is very frustrating to see how slow its going, gimme your thoughts on it. thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cousin_It Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Actionradar... I would not worry about the slow growth, it varies from one person to another. The ultimate results are what counts and this will not become fully evident until 12 months or so. I am sure a surgeon of Dr.Keene's calibre did an outstanding job and it will ultimately become evident in time. Are you using any meds, in particular minoxidil. Many surgeons advocate its use after surgery to enhance growth. Looking forward to more updates as growth accelerates. Best of Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hey Action, I can understand your frustration and concern about slow growth...but it definately does and CAN happen to people...so don't be discouraged yet. Give it a full year and see what happens. Unfortunately, I went to look at your blog for before photos, but when I click on your link it says no match found...so I really can't tell whether or not there has been any growth or not. Any chance of getting that fixed or posting some before photos? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted December 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2006 Action, Comparing to the pic you posted the very first of this thread, yes, it appears you still have some grafts that have not come in. With 1800 grafts on the amount of area you covered, I wouldn't expect real dense coverage, but you should have coverage nonetheless. I would guess you should experience a good bit of growth within the next two months, if not you may want to check with Dr. Keene and see what she thinks. Hang in there and thanks for sharing the pics.
