Senior Member needmoarhair Posted December 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Shockloss can happen but those hairs should come back in another month or so. I'm expecting the same thing to happen and look I know I'll look like crap, but it will be worth it in the end Edited December 18, 2015 by needmoarhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Tav1 Posted December 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 2 Month post op Two months? You started this thread on 10/29. That's 49 days dude. You should already know what to expect at this early stage. Because the answer is nothing good. Me thinks you'd be better served getting a hobby besides staring at your hair or posting on this site 24/7. Your constant worrying isn't good for your brain, nor that which you transplanted to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 Your in the worst period now - in a few months time you will wonder why you was worrying ! Use a hat if needed and get back out there ! staying in wont help !! Try and stay positive as others have mentioned. We all go through the ugly duckling part - and you never know what its like until you actually hit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member esrec Posted December 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 I actually think you look much better than most. For starters, remove the image of your immediate post-op hairline from your memory. Its not real, its just a c*cktease glimpse into the future. You're fortunate enough to have already worn your hair pretty short and have a very favorable skin-to-hair contrast. If you had black hair and pale skin it would be significantly worse. I would buzz to an even length and just watch it grow from here on out. It'll look even cleaner when its all the same length. Not even 2 months bud. Im approaching 12 weeks and Im already thinking about a practice run with concealers to more closely resemble my pre-op look. Even though I was good return to toppik/dermatch at month 1 I refrained. Is it perfect? Hardly. Were all just doing the best we can. Stay positve dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member johnny2000 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2015 Oh yes its 7 weeks post op, sorry my mistake. But i know i Sound like a unpatient complaining bitch, but its mentally tough Especielly when i have 1 failed HT under my belt. The thought of not knowing if it Will succed or fail is not making it easier. If i was told that i had a 100 % garantie that i would get a good result Then i could be more calm. My hair is at the same lenght all over so i cannot do anything about the haircut as you mentioned esrec. And i cannot take a cap on at work so thats fucked up too. I do use consealer wich offcourse Can help i little bit and thats what im using Every Day, but it does look abit "fake" because there is alot less hair than before my HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mickey85 Posted December 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2015 Fear not, it took about 4 months for my native hair to completely come back after the initial shockloss. The wait was brutal but it did comeback. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled. Educate yourself Everything FUE.

Senior Member johnny2000 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2016 Almost 4 Month now. I how gotten some growth and i have had some return of native hairs. I Think i am at pre op State now. But some of the native hairs has not returned instead been replaced with HT hairs Hopefully there is alot more growth to come. When did most of you get the most growth? Was it 3-4 Month post op or later on? This picture is with flash. So it makes my hair look better than it is irl.

Senior Member farmcat Posted February 21, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2016 You will probably start seeing some good growth soon, around 5 months I saw a lot of growth.....still hoping for a lot more (I am almost at 6 months).

How much growth did you have after 3,5 Month ? Was it minimal or was it like 50 % of the grafts you recieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member farmcat Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 After 3 months, very little growth......growth started to be pretty obvious at 4 months, probably around 50% but it was really fine (baby hair).....I would say by 5 months I had a lot of my grafts growing in but they were still pretty fine but are getting thicker. I will be at 6 months on Feb 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete-from-Farjo Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 You're approaching four months now so this is where things should really start to take off. Hang in there, the next couple of months should see significant improvement.

Senior Member johnny2000 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2016 A couple of days shy from 5 Month. Well i surely had some growth since Month 3 where i was very depressed. But there are gaps all around the hairline where no grafts is growing. I just e-mailed lorenzo to get his opinion. I just hope that nor all grafts has grown and there Will be more to come, otherwise it Will not look to natural I just buzzed it all the Way Down so it is easier to see the growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member splitting hairs Posted March 26, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi Johnny, Tbh I think it looks pretty good for 5months. There is more to come. However, I think you need to remember that transplanted hair shaved down that close will not really ever be identical in density to your natural hair, this is because transplanted hair should give an illusion of density, which will be when it is grown out. Do you have pics of your hair grown out a little? _________________________________________________ Propecia since July 2008 2201 Grafts with Dr Lorenzo on 19.10.22 - See my write up here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have pics of your hair grown out a little? Yeah i Think it is good growth for 5 Month. Im just worried that This is all there is. Because i cannot see Any signs of now hairs Popping through. But i just need to wait. I want to grow it out but it is difficult because of the gaps around the hairline where there is no growth, i Think it looks more "unnatural" when it is grown a little longer. But i Will try to be strong and let it grow for now i Think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member splitting hairs Posted April 30, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi Johnny, I think it looks really good. It isn't quite as dense as your native hair yet, but transplanted hair should usually be grown out to look it's best. How are you getting on with your scalp? I remember you were having some issues? Which shampoo are you using? _________________________________________________ Propecia since July 2008 2201 Grafts with Dr Lorenzo on 19.10.22 - See my write up here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
