Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted April 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2015 Man! You are quite young to undergo HairTransplant, anyways now relax and heal well Are you on any medication? Was it FUT or FUE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSA Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 hope u got lots of donor hair cause by the time ur 30 ull be a NW7 for wats remaining. all of wat u currently see in the non-safe zone will be gone by the time ur 27. maybe 25 if at age 21 ur already an NW3. but good for u if u have ample donor.

progress1010 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 2 months and on andi can say these are the hardest time, most of the hairs shed n new tiny ones r growing... hair growth is slow i dont know why.. and there are small boils emerging on transplanted area as u can see them on the attachment below some of hairs fall occasionally is this normal??? all your comments are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted June 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes is normal that the hairs are falling out now. You just have to wait a few more months. In about 4 months you should see the new hair looking good. I should also say that you got yourself into a kind of a tricky situation. The 1500 grafts should be ok for a little while. After that you be wanting to look for a great FUT surgeon IMHO. Like BUSA said you are going to lose the rest of the hair that is on the top of your head in the next years. You have to keep that donor area as unharvested as possible. Dont risk another HT with the same doctor you used. You will have to eventually travel to find a surgeon that can be careful with those grafts and do as much coverage as possible. Dont stop taking finasteride etc. But for now just rest and grow well, and please read a lot of posts on this forum (and others) to get a better understanding of what a HT can and can not achieve. Good growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fueguy Posted June 4, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 4, 2015 Give it time. You're only two months post-op and won't see anything significant for another couple of months. Even then you're looking at 12+ months to judge the final result. Bottomline it's a long-process. Looks like your on Propecia. Have your considered Rogaine and maybe adding Nizoral to the mix? I ask because you're only 21 and have what appears to be an aggressive hair loss pattern. You would really benefit from all three. I would argue that it's mandatory since you have taken the plunge with a HT. I guess what I'm saying is don't go into this thinking you're only going to need one HT. You're looking at 2-3 in your lifetime based on your hair loss pattern, so getting on meds (and being consistent) is smart. I'm not against younger guys getting a hair transplant. You just need to and realistic and smart about it moving forward. Fire off a PM if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was hasty decision from my side...in near future i will be smart and calculative enough to use my donor area wisely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted August 25, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 No need to worry. 5 months is still very early. You have another 6 months of growth to see. It's going to be getting better real soon. Stay on Fin. and ride out the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
