Senior Member Ernie Posted July 18, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think it's starting to look good. You definitely still have plenty of growth and maturing still to come, but I will betcha that you see a significant improvement at 6 months and then again at 7 months. Cool hope so. And the recent "new shampoo shed" will grow back too :-) 3185 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 2/17/16 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/182611-fut-3185-dr-rahal-day-after-pics.html 1204 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 3/27/17 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186586-round-2-rahal-1204-fut-frontal-third-same-area.html ---> total of 4389 grafts to my frontal third via FUT ---> 1mg finasteride daily since 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal still doing great work..Im looking to book my 2nd with him sometime in the near future. Rahal for FUT was an easy choice for me -- and the recent "shampoo incident" (according to Dr. Blake) was probably all over my entire head. I just happened to notice it in my recipient area because the rest of my head is dense with hair (without illusion) while the illusion of density is happening in my frontal 3rd. I hear month 5 ---> month 6 can be quite a burst for a lot of HT recipients. Got my fingers crossed. 3185 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 2/17/16 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/182611-fut-3185-dr-rahal-day-after-pics.html 1204 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 3/27/17 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186586-round-2-rahal-1204-fut-frontal-third-same-area.html ---> total of 4389 grafts to my frontal third via FUT ---> 1mg finasteride daily since 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ernie Posted July 21, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) side-by-side comparison at 5 months, 3 days... Big time shockloss in native forelock pretty much back at this point. I've read that in general, the following can be true for HT's: At 5 months - 40% complete At 6 months - 60% complete At 7 months - 70% complete Has this been your guys' experience?...

Senior Member Ernie Posted July 21, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2016 Very nice. How's the donor area looking? non-issue, as I wear my hair a bit longer than a #4 grade.

Senior Member Ernie Posted July 23, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 23, 2016 A few more pics at 5 months, 1 week. Not sure why I look so pale in some of them, lol. Also, my hairline looks a bit high in some pics -- must be the way I held the camera, as I'm less than 4 of my fingers. 3.5 head!? In my side pics you can see my forehead isn't as huge as it may seem :-) I'm lucky to still have intact temple points -- doesn't look like I have a "lid" on top of my head. First pic below is before my haircut, and the rest are immediately after. I "feel" like months 5-7 will be quite telling... --- I'm always a bit disappointed when I don't see pics of the hairline exposed (either slicked back or pulled back) ---> so I've done my best to do that for you guys here. 3185 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 2/17/16 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/182611-fut-3185-dr-rahal-day-after-pics.html 1204 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 3/27/17 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186586-round-2-rahal-1204-fut-frontal-third-same-area.html ---> total of 4389 grafts to my frontal third via FUT ---> 1mg finasteride daily since 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Ernie Posted July 24, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Damn, look how bad things got at 41 days post-op. Geesh. This was after the transplanted hair had shed, and during the worst phase of my native frontal forelock shock-loss. Yikes. Glad that's over. Second one is today, wet hair.

Senior Member Mikey1970 Posted July 24, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2016 Hell Ernie. That would have been terrifying. That's probably as bad a case of shock loss as I have seen. Kinda where I am at the moment haha. So glad I saw your experience with shock loss though, although ive been through it before your photo's give me hope.
