Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 18, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2017 For 5k fues donor area looks dam great. I wonder if the acell he likes to use is having that affect. Are you taking propecia I didn't use the Acell for any surgery so I'm not sure how effective it is, I am not taking propecia, I tried proscar when I was 21 and I got really bad side effects so I discontinued using it, in my signature I list everything im taking for hair loss prevention.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 31, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2017 So here's my 5.5 month update, growth is happening, but VERY slowly, when you hear that the crown takes longer to grow they aren't lying, I am still getting pimples in my crown area from sprouting hairs breaking through the skin. I haven't been stressing about it or anything, my expectations aren't very high since I only got less than a 1,000 grafts solely in the crown, the midscalp has grown in nicely, the density in the middle is really helping the illusion of density immensely, if you have a slightly weak midscalp a small amount of grafts can go a long way. Anyways here are some shots from different angles. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 23, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thanks guys, I'm not expecting life altering results, but things have improved substantially already, and I expect things to improve up until the 18 month mark. Here is the progress ive made thus far the top pic was at 2 months bottom pic now at 6 months. The progress is very slow but its getting better each month. To be honest at this point I can honestly say I'm completely satisfied, even if no more growth happens I have far exceeded my expectations prior to having any surgery.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 3, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2017 So I'm about a week and half shy of 8 months, I changed my hairstyle from a side part to a slicked back pompadour, it's working wonders on the crown, the coverage is so much better, these photos are taken under different bathroom lighting, at different angles, so far I'd say this surgery has been a success, the growth I feel has been steady but slow, I expect the hairs to mature as the months pass. Hopefully I won't need another surgery for a while but never say never 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member HairsGone Posted June 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2017 It looks great! Your crown is much better and you should still get more growth. It's amazing how you have been transformed compared to before your first HT. The 5300 grafts have done very well for you.

I've always been impressed with your commentary on this forum, in my opinion you're one of the most educated patients with real insight in the HT field, always providing positive useful opinions to other members. So its a real pleasure seeing your own case be as successful as you wanted it to be. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Yaz89 Posted June 3, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2017 I believe you will see continuous improvement the coming months. 6 months is just the beginning mate. Comparing the last month to your recent one; its amazing. Crown does take much longer than the frontal. In terms of styling products, have you tried Hanz De Fuko pomade?
