Senior Member fortuneplant Posted September 24, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Month 11 will be my last regular update for a while. I'll post again around month 18th or 24th for comparison. P.S. Forgot to mention that on Months 9 and 10, I went through a shed. I didn't count but it was significant enough to elicit comment from the kiddo that I am leaving a lot of hair in the shower. It started to normalize on Month 11. I suspect that a lot of them were hair grafts going through a another phase of shed and regrowth. Edited October 4, 2018 by fortuneplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member n00b Posted November 26, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2018 Great result. Any pics of the scar? Saw your month 7 scar pic. Feels like the scar is bit wide. Might be the fact that the scar is still healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member brickellmoto Posted January 20, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2019 was this a dense pack hairline? would you happen to know how many grafts per square centimeter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member fortuneplant Posted April 20, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2019 MONTH 18 The attached pics are from Week 1 to Month 11 to Month 18. From Month 11 to Month 18, I grew new hair but noticeable only to me. The biggest difference is my hair looks healthier - the whole head of hair not only the transplanted ones. It's also...bouncier. I suspect it's the effect from the laser cap after using it for 14months. I estimate that my hair density is about 33 graft/sq cm. Not dense enough but my hair is thick and long enough to compensate. If I am being critical, there are patches that need more grafts. There's a bit of see through effect under harsh light or when it's wet. But I have went swimming and been under harsh studio lights, it just looks natural and does not give the impression of someone losing hair. I have been on intimate situations where women slide their hands on my hair and remarked how good it looked. (I cringe a bit when that happens. I have this irrational fear that the transplanted hair might drop off.) And on times when I want the hair density of my dreams, it takes me 23 seconds to spray toppik, pat my hair, and done. I guess if you twist my arm, the worst thing is the strip scar behind my head. It stayed the same as my Month 7 progress. Wider than I hoped but within expectation. Certainly not noticeable on day-to-day; even on a visit to the barber. I seldom wear my hair short and if I do, it can be done with a proper cut that the strip area is mostly unnoticeable. Overall, it's been great. No one knew I had HT. Everyone says I look better and can't pinpoint why. Since I was an NW2, even when people saw my old and new pictures, my old pic just looked like someone on a bad hair day. I'll come back again in the next few years to report on my progress. Note: Am on Fin .83/mg six days/wk (i.e. Proscar cut into 6 pcs), Minox 5% once/day, Laser Cap 3x/wk, Multi B Vitamins (100mg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PlzRespond Posted April 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2019 Looks fantastic! thanks for coming back. I think you're being a bit too critical on yourself regarding density. I think your density is 40+ tbh. Looks great regardless and your hairline design is fantastic. How much more sprouts (not thickening/maturing) percentage wise did you see from month 11-18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member fortuneplant Posted February 13, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2023 Checking in 6 years (2017) after I had my FUT of ~1600 grafts. Pretty much still the same from my last post in 2019 so will cut and paste. - I have gained around an 1 inch of hair relative to my original hairline; 3 fingers space now between my hairline and eyebrow instead of five fingers before. - My FUT strip healed very well, no scarring. - Fin 0.83/mg six days/wk (i.e. Proscar cut into 6 pcs), Minox 5% 3x/week, Red Light 3x/wk, Multi B Vitamins (100mg) Daily, Exercise 5x/wk. - I always go through a hair fall phase around October and November; noticeable via the number of hair I see around the drainage after a shower. Definitely more than usual but still normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
