Regular Member imun Posted August 13, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 13, 2008 imun, Welcome to our forum community. It's probably in your best interest to start your own thread so that you get a greater number of replies. Generally speaking, hair transplants mature around 1 year. However, hair can continue to thicken and soften even up to 18 months. I hope this helps. Bill To learn about how I restored my hair, read my hair restoration story with pictures.

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Wow, even I was confused by this thread....lol But I think imun copied and pasted my reply from him on another thread. I certainly did not post as imun. At 11 months post-op, it's not typical to get a lot of new hair growth at this point. Most progress at this point is thickening and maturing of the transplanted hair creating a better illusion of density. Slow growers however, may experience more growth. Do you have an before, immediately post-op, and 11 month photos you can show us? Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Dear Members, So there is no confusion and despite the accusatory email I received from a disgruntled previous member who is apparently stalking me, I did NOT post the above reply under Imun's name and I did not create his account. I've also been accused of deleting this thread to cover my tracks of creating a ghost poster. Clearly this thread has not been deleted. On another thread (found here - scroll up), I advised Imun to start a new thread to ask his questions to maximize the number of replies he'll get. I don't know why Imun chose to copy and paste my original reply into a post right below his question, but I suppose it was for clarity. I also moved this thread from the "hair transplant experiences and surgeon reviews" section of the forum to the "hair restoration question and answers" forum since it is more appropriate here. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dewayne Posted August 14, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2008 hmmmmm. I'm starting to suspect that there are really only two of us, Bill and I, on the board at all. And he's created all these aliases and operates full-time as a ghost poster. Pretty elaborate plan just to get me to have a transplant.... 100?

Regular Member imun Posted August 15, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thats right I copied and pasted for clarity and did it as per Bill's advise. I have complete faith in Bill as he is always there to help us out. Bill, keep up the good work. I am gonna wait and see after 12 months. Is there a way to know if I am a slow grower? Thanks.

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Be careful Imun. Praising me too much might further enforce my stalker's believe that you are me and I am you . Typical hair regrowth of transplanted hair starts between month 3 and 5, and thickens, darkens, and matures with time. I would say by 6-7 months with minimal hair growth, you could indeed be a slow grower. I hope this helps, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Dewayne Posted February 4, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 4, 2009 imun, I wish you could post the pics in an album, so we could see them all lined up. At the top left, click NEW, and then PHOTO ALBUM and it'll walk you through it. Lining them up in an album will show a much clearer picture. Having said that, you don't look as bald in your 'afters' so that's a plus. It's just hard for my untrained eyes to make a judgement based on those pics. 100?

Senior Member latinlotus Posted February 5, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2009 Imun: I rearranged your pre and post op pictures (see attached) next to each other in order to compare. I can see a definite improvement of your crown. Maybe 1600 grafts is not enough for the area to be covered. You may want to apply Toppik at the crown. It does marvelous thing for me anyway. All it takes is 5 seconds. And you might need only one bottle for the whole year for about 40$. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own.
