Regular Member Oscarito Posted June 21, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted June 21, 2017 Looks great JBlonde!! I'm about a month behind you from Dr. Diep too. I guess it's true that most folks start to see more growth around the fourth month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JBlonde Posted June 21, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 21, 2017 it's crazy how much of a difference light and angle make... also, the fact that my hair is blonde and sooooo fine is a blessing and a curse. Less contrast but also takes more for coverage I think..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 21, 2017 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2017 4 months is the top of the iceberg the fact that you're seeing any growth is very good, it looks great things have turned around quickly for you, the next few months will be very good to you.

Senior Member voxman Posted June 21, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2017 Okay, I am an ex-blondie - I believe I am now more dishwater blonde with silver/grey/whatever. But my hair is fine like yours and I am very happy with my outcome and you are indeed coming along nicely! Latest shot of the hair included. I'm serious. Just look at my face.

Senior Member Arminius Posted June 21, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2017 Here are my picture from the day after with Dr Diep.. Fingers crossed that all works out! I'm not sure about the exact number of grafts. It was supposed to be 2500, but I forgot to verify on my way out. I'll try and keep everyone as up to date as possible, as I know how much this forum helped my in my decision making process. Feel free to PM me with questions as well. Enjoy your Sunday all. Looks great so far! The only thing I see is the total number of grafts. The post-op photos show quite an extensive area and I would guess that you would have needed at least 3200 grafts to cover such an area with decent density.

Regular Member JBlonde Posted June 21, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 21, 2017 arminius, thanks for the response. I ended up with 2900 grafts. I amended that 2500 statement but it's on like page 2 or 3 of this thread. Hopefully that will be enough for decent/good coverage. I already anticipated possibly going in for a second procedure if this one doesn't satisfy me in terms of density... we'll see how it goes.

I had 2650 grafts in April 2017. My area is much smaller than yours. I am beginning to see some growth now (at ten weeks post-op). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member JBlonde Posted July 21, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hey all, things are starting to come along. I'm posting outdoor and indoor pics so you can see various lighting. The lighting definitely makes a difference but I can go out in public with no hat now and feel comfortable! I happy with how things are coming along. If i had one complaint, it's that one of my temples is still lacking some growth. I'm only at month 5 though, so I consider myself lucky to be where I am.

Regular Member JBlonde Posted April 5, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 5, 2019 Fellas, for those of you who were following my progress and are still on this website, I'm sincerely sorry for not continuing to post. Life got very hectic, and thankfully, my hair was becoming less and less of a concern. Either way, I apologize for not following through because I know this site helped me when I was trying to make decisions about a hair transplant. It's been nearly 2 years since my last post, but below are a bunch of random pictures from the last year and a half or so. All of these photos were taken at least a year after my surgery. Overall, I'm very happy with the results that I got from Dr Diep. The overall look is good I think. It definitely looks fuller when it's a bit longer and I have styled it. In most lighting it looks good, but some lighting makes the reconstructed areas look very thin. I expected that though, having very fine blond hair and only having one surgery so far. The only part that I'm not please with is my left temple. There is a patch that the destiny doesn't match. I'm not sure if it didn't grow properly there, or if Dr Diep somehow miss judged the number of grafts needed there. I've circled it in red below. I avoid it being an issue by styling my hair with the sides kind of buzzed and the top long. I'm scheduled for another surgery to add density, fix the left temple, as well as slightly bring in the temples. I hope this helps some of you and again I am sorry for my absence.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted April 5, 2019 Saw you on Dr. Diep’s video. I’m glad you came back your results look fantastic. There’s another blonde guy who’s documenting his procedure on here as well. I hope you’ll start a new thread when you have your next procedure. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
