Regular Member scotty9107 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'm at nearly 4 months post op. This stage is crap. You really start wondering if it's going to happen. I can see a few hairs starting, but it's a really long wait. We'll get there!! Yeahh it definetly is crap! The progress seemed to have slowed even though it probably hasn't, just a long ass waiting game were playing, roll on the next two months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scotty9107 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2017 You probably didn't wear your hair so short to expose the crown thinning. I would just stick with propecia since it maintains crown best and try not to worry/look at it too much. Yeah thanks for the advice, I always wore my hair reasonably longish before the op, so didn't notice any thinning really, socfingers crossed the propecia does the job and holds what's left, and the when my hair grows it disguises it, not quite ready for a second op to deal with the crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ediee02 Posted February 24, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2017 Opinions anyone? The first pic does look like you have lost some hair. But the others don't show it as well. You may want to grow it out in length and reevaluate. My surgery is for March 27th. I'm starting to get very nervous! 4000 Grafts with Asmed http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186536-4500-grafts-dr-koray-asmed.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Vpac Posted February 25, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2017 so im just under 3.5 months now, decided it was time for the first haircut, so i buzzed it all off, pleased with the progress so far, the back and sides seem a little thin, think i has some shock loss hopefully itll come back soon enough though Did you buzz over the HT as well? If I remember correctly you are told not to use any type of machine over the HT hair for at least 6 months, only scissors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scotty9107 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Did you buzz over the HT as well? If I remember correctly you are told not to use any type of machine over the HT hair for at least 6 months, only scissors. Yeah I buzzed over the hair transplanted area, my post transplant instructions don't mention about using clippers or scissors, I've seen a few members so the same around the 3 month mark hence why I thought nothing of it, you may be right though, may double check with asmed about that as I'm second guessing myself now haha Edited February 25, 2017 by scotty9107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ponchik Posted March 2, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 At what day during the first 10 days did you start washing more firmly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scotty9107 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 At what day during the first 10 days did you start washing more firmly? I'd say about the 4th-5th day I got a bit firmer, then even former 7th-8th just to get the scabs off, asmed provided a video to show you the exact steps to wash your hair so basically just followed the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ponchik Posted March 2, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 Ok good to hear. I started getting a little firmer on day 6 and 7 and then started stressing out that maybe that was too early. I'm now on day 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now on day 9 Yeah you should be perfectly fine, aslong as your aiming to be scab less at day 10 all should be well, goodluck with the next few months ?

Regular Member hkuser Posted April 4, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2017 Wow you have had great growth for 4 months, one of the best I have seen. Highly recommend to grow your hairs in length while your shockloss recovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man I have had a hair cut since and got the sides cut and left the top to grow out, it's gave it some shape and looks much better, still some areas to thicken up hopefully have some more growth in the next few months with any luck, il hope to get round to putting some more photos up soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member callumb93 Posted April 4, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi scotty How's your crown looking now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member scotty9107 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi scotty How's your crown looking now? Well the longer my hair is getting the more it disguises it, it's somewhat noticeable in harsh lighting conditions, hopefully the fin helps keep what I have for now, most probably will have to add fibres to hide the thinness in the back half of my head towards the crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
