Month 4 Update - Mikeman's 5828 Grafts w/Dr. Hasson

[Mikeman]

Hey guys,

 

I'm up to 4 months now and thought I'd post the results for those who are interested in updates...

 

I made some comparison pics to compare the progress of the transplant as well as some outdoor pics for perspective, since the indoor pics were taken with flash.

 

I'm hoping that I'm only 40-50% of the way through at this point, as far as growth and coverage is concerned. I'd like the temples and mid scalp regions to be scalp free : > .

 

Any guesses as to how much is left to come in at this point and where?

 

Thanks for following along,

looks good Mike

 

I would say 30% at 4 months. Although we grow at different rates I can only speak for myself.. At 4 months I was nothing compared to the 12 month result.. it even got fuller at 14 months! You results look promsing and with 5828 I'm sure you will reach your goal. that's a lot of hair!!

Hi Mikeman-

 

Thanks for the update. I can't evaluate for sure without seeing the immediate post-op pics..............were most of the grafts placed in the frontal 1/3 and midscalp......looks like the crown was hit too as I see growth there where there was none before.

 

At 4 months, your probably just getting started good and likely have MUCH more growth to come. Very interested in seeing results so please post more updates if you can. Remember, the crown does take longer so if you had grafts there be patient!

Mrjb: Thanks for the assessment...I've just been wondering after all this how much more is left to go....

 

Hairbank: I've put up some post-op pics in the gallery. I had my graft placement pretty much split evenly between the front and the back according to Dr. Hasson. So I'm guessing ~2900 grafts in Zone1&2 and ~2900 grafts in Zone3&4...

looks very good for only four months, plenty to come still. you will see an improvement each month from now till 12-14 months.
