Regular Member FireFly Posted February 2, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ok, so somewhere along the line managed to erase the 4 month pics I had been meaning to upload, so I'm afraid I'm just going to have to skip to month 5. Sorry about that! But basically not much has been happening except watching some slow growth and the density beginning to creep up slowly. Months 3 & 4 I was using Toppik to mask the new growth and blend the recipient area with the native hair. I've got pretty fine straight hair anyway, so the Toppik did make a big difference and around the 4 month mark people started to comment that I was looking good, but they couldn’t really put their finger on what exactly was different! :cool: At the 5 month mark I ran out of Toppik and decided just to do without it, as the density had reached a pretty acceptable level. My right side is definitely taking a little longer to build up, but it's always been my weaker side when it comes to hair loss, so it's not a huge surprise to be honest. Obviously it will continue to build over the next year or so but I thought it best to just proceed ‘au naturel’ and let it thicken over time to avoid any unwanted attention. But all in all, I’m really happy with where I’m at right now. Dr Feller’s hairline has created the kind of subtle changes that I was hoping to achieve and I now feel I have a defined, denser hairline that I will be happy with as I continue to age. Looking forward to seeing the results continue to grow over the coming months! Follow my hair restoration journey on my hair loss website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted February 3, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looking good, 5 months is still so early. Believe me I have noticed improvement from month 17 to month 18 - you have a long way to go I'm sure you're gonna be very happy. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Regular Member quackhairny Posted March 18, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 18, 2014 Looks great. How long was it before you felt no one could notice you had it done? Also did you feel a level of comfort that your receding and hair loss had slowed? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
