Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted April 20, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi All! 4 months and 1 week! Wow the time is flying! I compared these pictures to Feb 1st and wow so much has changed! Each day everything is getting thicker and thicker. I spoke to Dr. Cinik after sending him my updates and everything is looking on par, right now he said about 20-30% of the hairs have grown and over the next few weeks/months we should see the following Month 3: 10% Month 4-5: 20-30% Month 6-7: 40-50% Month 8-9: 60-70% Month 10-12: 80-90+% I am very excited to see how things change over the next few weeks. I am considering cutting my hair one more time...it's almost like an addiction haha, but kind of want to grow it out and try styling soon...i'll give it 2 weeks and see if I should or not Hope everyone is well and growing too 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member wheretogo Posted April 21, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2018 Great progress Luke. so this is like almost 20% grow? is the right side grow more than the left side or it just the light? biotin 5000 mcg update- taking it for 12 days. couple of days ago started some mini outbreak in the recipient area only and tingleing sensation almost all the time.

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Thanks John! Haha I know but it's not quite as thick as I want it just yet...so I may lol Wheretogo- yep between 20-30% already I'm ecstatic! Even just between last week so much has changed. Up the B-12 and any other b complexes to have, that'll help with the breakouts from Biotin. I'd say the right side is overtaking the left in thickness so far. Thanks Justin! Excited to see your 6 month update! Edited April 21, 2018 by Unregistered 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 26, 2018 4 and 1/2 months! Woo! Time is flying and I'm certainly getting used to having more hair. I keep looking in the mirror thinking this is it and nothing more will grow but then I compare to photos from a week ago and can see so the thickness even more so! I think I am just getting used to seeing the same look each day and praying for more thickness quicker than it can come lol. I'm so happy to have these photos for documentation so I can reference them and tell myself that I am just being crazy and paranoid haha! I caved and buzzed down to a 2 again and trimmed the top with scissors a few days ago. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member johnp557799 Posted April 27, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted April 27, 2018 nice progress. have you noticed any multiple graphs in your hairline? do you apply coconut oil on your scalp/hair? if yes, how often? Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks John! I do apply coconut oil probably 1-2 weekly at night when I head to bed. I do think there are a few doubles in the hairline, not too many and hopefully won't be too noticeable when it grows out to a longer length. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean with the buzzing, I've decided to let it grow out on top to see what it looks like. 6 months will be here before you know it. Well done and take care. 5024 grafts with Asmed Clinic.

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2018 We're about 11 days shy of the 5 month mark! I decided to let it grow out a little, I am getting so used to having hair and I keep thinking that it's as good as it's going to get, then when I look at photos from the past weeks I realize how much has grown. I still see new hairs sprouting through the hairline and in the gappy areas. I am excited so far, but now getting impatient haha! So far I would say my progress has been great! I just want to skip forward to the next 4 months and see where I will be at. The next update I will do will be 5/13 the 5 month mark!! WOO!! Time really is flying by and I'm still amazed about how different everything looks! When I mention to people about the transplant they say that they can't tell the difference (if they are being nice and just saying that I am not sure) but I can certainly tell at the moment lol! Hoping that my hairline starts to fill in more with density as well as just behind the hairline, but we have a lot of time to grow still 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 2, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thank you Wheretogo...it's getting better every week! I just went through every photo on my forum page and wow! It's crazy how much has changed over the last 2 months!! 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 13, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2018 5 months! 151 days! Wow, time really has flown by! The operation is all but a distant memory (kind of lol). Just comparing between 10 days ago and now there's even more growth! Not sure if everyone else experienced the same feelings of well I guess not much more is going to change and then boom you compare your photos and notice how much has changed! I know I'm only at 5 months but I think I'm at the stage where I wish there was more density already, hopefully, that will come down the road I know we should wait for 12-18 months to really judge the result but so far I am super happy! Just want more density now and not have to wait lol! But in comparison to what I had before, this is 1000x better! My temples have a few hairs that are flopping down, which seems strange to me but hopefully, this is a good sign and not a bad angle placement of the grafts. I can see even more little hairs sprouting through the hairline so that's exciting, and the left side is starting to catch up to the right-hand side I did cave and buzzed down to a 2 about 5 days ago and think I may just now try going out the top and maintaining the sides. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wheretogo Posted May 13, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2018 Awesome! let the top grow and see how it will look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member fortuneplant Posted May 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2018 Lukey, noticeable improvement month to month. Since it looks good on you, why not just settle on a buzz cut until you reached the eight month - then start growing from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 14, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2018 Whereto - that's what I am thinking Fortune- thanks man, might be a consideration, just depends on how much more fills in 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2018 Day 160- Not much has changed really except for thickening of the follicles. Each week it's looking better and better, still a few areas that seem to be lagging behind, but hopefully they start catching up soon. Also attached some photos in natural light outside in comparison. Looking forward to it thickening up even more over the next few months as it still looks kinda sparatic and thin in some areas. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wheretogo Posted May 22, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) It's already looks really good, when i look at you i can't really tell you had HT, it looks like you just have a short haircut, beautiful.

Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks whereto, it's certainly becoming alot less noticeable, even colleagues at work are amazed (the ones who I see quarterly) Johnp- I think that's the plan now, I'm comfortable with growing it out as it's thickening even more. Shuriken- thanks man! Huge improvement from my past loss! It's crazy how different it looks! 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2018 168 days! Just over 5 1/2 months! Decided to do a slightly different take of the photos and show what the hair looks like immediately after the shower! Even when my hair is wet it's looking crazy thick at this stage! I am blessed with a lot of multiple hairs that help with density, just a shame the originals didn't stay haha!! Again it's getting thicker and thicker each week! The hairline is coming in strong, a few areas that look a little sparse but I am confident that they are filling in. I am currently growing out the hair, I may just trim the sides to keep it looking better. I'll update on June 13th (or around then) when it's the official 6 month mark! Can't wait to see what the next 2 weeks brings! 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
