Senior Member Cant decide Posted January 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2014 They say that when grafts begin to grow, they start out as thin and even transparent and then thicken over time. However, it seems that many of my grafts came in initially as full terminal hairs. Is there a known % that come in at final density from the get go?

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted January 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2014 Seems like the majority of mine did the same. Not sure on percentages but some must start out fine or you wouldn't continue to see improvement over 18mths...I know some of the improvement has to be the hair thickening. Can't wait to see your pics! Newhairplease!!

Senior Member Cant decide Posted January 6, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks NHP. I will be at 5 months post op tomorrow and things are progressing well. Huge cosmetic difference already. How did your crown improve from 5 to 6 and then 8 months? I remember after my first procedure, 6 months showed significant progress but 8 months really wowed me. How about you? I will post 6 month pics.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted January 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2014 Most people talk about slow crown growth but mine seemed to come along as fast as the rest of my transplant. I just remember thinking " WOW" at 4 months and 9 months. Those were my two BIG noticeable months. Yours will be great. Did Dr Rahal think you could do another strip? Did he give you a ball park on graft supply left? Newhairplease!!

He thinks I have about 2000 FUE in me which brings me to about 10k total. However, I am not planning a third. I think this latest op will get me to about 75% of where I wanted to be after this procedure. The harvest falling short by about 800-1000 grafts this round I think will prevent me from 100% satisfaction but I will totally be able to live with it as its making a remarkable difference already. I want to save those 2k grafts for any " emergency" situation down the road.
