Monty14 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi Every one , I am 32 year old from Sydney . I had FUE hair transplant done just over 9 Months ago. I got 6000 Drafts. My Dr claimed the results will be best possible from a FUE transplant. He explained me the procedure and the growth stages, up until now everything he said has been correct , the shock loss, the 3 months scalp recovery , the 6 months slight growth . And to be honest things were looking very promising. About 7-8 months post op, I started noticing some hair loss , my doctor said this could just be the hair cycle and there is nothing to worry and just cut hairs short for a while. But I am really worried as in last 2 months I have lost a lot of hairs . And there is no significant improvement ,I mean there are new hairs but not dense and it does not look like I have gone thru a major procedure . I saw quite a lot of posts where doctors claim what you see in 9 months is pity much your final result. I am really worried, I will be posting photos shortly but can some one please offer me some advise. and if I should take any meds ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted December 22, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2015 Monty, Welcome! It's pretty difficult to give advice on a topic like this without first viewing photos. A lot can still change in the next few months but it's good that you are maintaining open communication with your surgeon in the event the growth ends up being subpar. Please share your pics so we can provide you with some quality feedback. David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Monty14 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 David , what i want to understand is , is there any reason why suddenly after 8 months i am having a hair loss, and is my doctor correct when he says its a hair cycle and just use regain . He believes , whatever the reason may be , my hairs will be restored . He is a very well known doctor of sydney , but I am concerned , as even he looked a bit surprised after seeing my progress. I appreciate your advise. Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty14 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Guys , Its 12 months now and I can see new hairs but no density .

Senior Member YouOnlyLiveOnce Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 Unfortunately the only real advice we can offer is patience and hope. That's all you can really do at this point. Doctors say you don't see the true final results for 18 months to 2 years, but with guys having such great results sooner, I think its become the norm to expect that when comparing you case to another. Try hair toppik or dermmatch if you would like to add density. I'm sure its not the most ideal solution, but it's an option. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please May I ask you if you mean "grafts" when you write "drafts"? Also was the 6000 "grafts" in 1 day? This is grafts not hair correct? Because a 6000 FUE in 1 day IMO is humanely not possible. So I am worried you got cheated. Either he lied to you about the # of grafts (which would be the better scenario) or he pissed away a lot of valuable hair. I am hoping you mean 6000 hairs and not 6000 grafts. You are a diffuse thinner so they are prone to shock loss but it should happen early in the cycle and the shock lossed hair should back by now. Please post updated photos. Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6. Docs whose results I am most consistently impressed with: Konior, Cooley (FUT), Hasson (FUT), Diep (FUE) (yeah I like the zig zag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 You look very very advanced in balding. If you are still losing, 6000 grafts wonthe give you a full head of hair. I would grow your hair out and see where you are in 3 months.

Senior Member Garageland Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 I would say that you hair looks longer in the 4 month photos you should grow your hair out as Spanker suggests when the hair is low density like that then hair length can add to the illusion and transplants look better when the hair is medium length as it can layer over one another creating a fuller look. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.
