Senior Member FUE2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2014 four months is nothing.... you are not going to have noticeable dense growth after 16 weeks .... got to realistically wait at least another 2-3 months before making an assessment.

Regular Member ohnoo Posted March 17, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, the results are looking nice for an early time into the recovery. Would you have any idea of the area covered for the transplant? Like cm squared or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Quiff01 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Pal - Im not entirely sure, but this was the graft breakdown - Grafts have 1-haired:735, grafts have 2-haired:840 and grafts have 3-haired:404. Total is 1979 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted March 19, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2014 Quiff, you're looking at this entirely the wrong way mate. You're just over 4 months right. Those have probably been amongst the toughest 4 months of your life maybe? The ONLY way to look at this as of today/tomorrow/next week........is that from today on, everything gets better, and I mean everything. I'm at 7 months, so obviously 3 months ahead of you. I promised myself that I would not begin to over-analyse things until at least the 8-9 month mark. Now I've been lucky in that I've been an early grower and I still have a long way to go, but I have done a good job at not worrying about it too much at the early stages. It genuinely is not worth over-thinking it at this point, you're doing yourself no favours at all. I just buzzed my hair every 2 weeks or so for the first 4 months, and that helped just not think about my hair for a while. No gel, no shape, no fuzz, just buzz it and avoid as many mirrors as possible. Dr Hakans patients seem to get very good outcomes, so as hard it this might be to do......just CHILL. It should all be worth it, but only in another 3-4-5-6-12 months. Not right now, so put your energy into other things! I've seen many guys at 5 months who were seriously not sure of things, but by month 7 and 8 were in a much better place. You are most likely to be the same, so don't feel down about it at this stage, certainly not after the last 3-4 months. It will only get better from here. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, i see you Got PRP injections after your HT. How do you feel about those injections? Ive heard some people claiming that it is bad and makes the hair worse, But since a lot of clinics use it, im thinking that its not true. The Reason i ask is because dr. Hakan offers it for free if your going in for a HT. And i am booked with him in 2,5 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
