I think a number that low is a bit unusual, but it's still just 4 months.

If you only have like 100 out of your 2000 grafts growing by month 5, though, I think it would definitely be getting into failure territory.

Seriously??

 

Mate, get a grip. It's 4 months. I would bet every penny you paid that the reputable surgeon who did your HT gave you a complete list of post-operative instructions and that you did enough research to know how long it takes to get an idea of how successful your procedure has been.

 

The word "refund" has no business being in your vocabulary at this stage. Try swapping it for "patience".

Posts like this are not useful. No, it doesn't look good, but when people show concern and want real advice, you need to post usable photos pre op and post op and your current situation. Luckily, this is where the magic happens so you have hope. Have you reached out to your doc? What is he saying?

You need to relax. How you can count five hairs new hairs in amongst areas where you had pre existing hair is beyond me and the photos can't tell us anything.

 

4 months is just the very start for most people so you shouldn't be concerned or talking of refunds. By 8-10 months you will have a much better idea of where you are at until then you need to be patient like others say.

 

Keep us posted of your progress.

It's too early to tell anything right now. The 6-month period is a point where you may possibly determine a definition for normal growth or appearance.

My opinions are based on my beliefs and are simply my own. I am one representative of the WHTC clinic.

Its simple.

 

I only have a few 100 hair's in front where the 2,000 grafts transplanted went in at.

 

The hair I already have is about 4 inches long each. Easy to move my old hair and see if any new hair has broken through.
