7 Months in FUE and can't see a real difference.

[uuncut]

Hi All,

 

I am 7 months with FUE and I can't see a real result. I have been

following these forums for a long time now and researched my Doctor

very well (Dr. Ferduni, Belguim) before making my decision, I tried to

get Dr. Basanga but he was booked out at that time and Dr Ferduni

could fit me in on the date i wanted. I got my procedure done on July

16th 2012. I also want to say that i have had ht done before in 2007

in Melbourne when the Doctor's where not very good, To my mind I was

butchered because of the scar width that was left, plus the amount of

time it took to heal and by the way the implants where inserted, with

no care or precision.

 

So i am at 7 months and really can't see a huge cosmetic change, I

have never been completely bald, I am wondering if FUE just does not

work on me, I did everything right, however I did fly an 8 hour flight

3 days later as the Doctor said it would be fine. I have been on

propecia for about 10 years, i cycle on and off it and stopped taking

it 2 months ago just for a break. I am also wondering if the tiny

scars left by the previous HT are delaying the growth.

 

This is what I had down on July 16th 2012

Singles - 300

Doubles - 1141

Triple - 247

HT Scar - 480

 

Now from what i can tell the Ht scar fue procedure did work well, but

the frontal area did not. So any help or advise help would be just

months in an i am a little worried.

 

I have attached before, post op and 7 months in.

 

Thanks.

I agree with the lighting of the two pictures.

 

Second set of pictures are under harsher lighting.

 

There should be still more to come.

have you noticed any new growth recently??

many patients see a LOT of growth from 7-12 months and some can continue to see it up to 18 months. like Spex said FUE can take longer to grow.

 

at 7 months tho MOST have seen whatever grafts that are going to grow start growing so for now I would agree with ur disappointment BUT ur gonna have to wait and see wat happens over the next several months imo.

 

the doctor and his clinic are very experienced and skilled so I doubt it was clinic error.

Yes i have to agree with you there, The Dr treated me very well and is very very good, I am not blaming the Doctor at all, I would go back there time and time again, because he is one of the best around. I will post some better pictures. I am just hoping i am a slow grower!

@unncut - I hope your are doing well

Does anyone know if this patient posted his follow up elsewhere?

Photos under sunlight tell the true story.

 

I certainly wouldn't want to evaluate the results of my HT under anything less.

You are likely to be disappointed in that case unless you have a very high density transplanted and maybe 2 sessions required.
