FarsanUk Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Just adding some extra surgery information which I forgot to include at the start Implanted density is between 46-48 cm2 for the frontal area and the crown is 46cm2. This of course is adjusted when implanting in areas where there is plenty of hair already. The bare areas represent the higher end of the cm2 such as 48 and 46.

FarsanUk Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) 2.5 months (11 weeks) Post-op Update - Asmed So it's been 2.5 months since my surgery at Asmed with Dr. Koray Erdogan. Below are my photos I took today. Still have not had a hair cut will be doing it tomorrow but only the sides - maybe No.2 and leave the front and top. All the redness has gone (many weeks ago) and i stopped shedding a month ago. The crown shed quite a lot post op but i managed to not shed as much in the front although still shed a fair amount. From reading other guys' threads the 3 month mark is where most people tend to start to see very early stages of sprouting and black dots appearing. I have a few black dots on the crown and a fair bit more in the hair line. Can already see a rough faded lining of the new hair line all be it just a few dots. This is the hardest stage because nothing much happens after you have finished shedding and start seeing sprouting. Apart from the very front my hair is basically back to where it was pre-op which is normal. It is now just a waiting game. Usually between month 3 and 4 is where I've seen people start to sprout so fingers crossed. The donor area has really grown out a lot and feels very thick and healthy so going forwards I should have a good number of grafts remaining. I don't think ill post anymore updates till the hair really starts sprouting so maybe in a month. Edited December 22, 2018 by FarsanUk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MHR84 Posted December 22, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2018 I think you’re on track at the 2,5 month mark, regrowth of transplanted hairs is just at the beginning (or soon will be). It is a tough waiting game my friend but in the end it will be worth waiting. Looking forward to more updates! Wish you well and happy growing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payam Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 It looks like you have some early growth when comparing to the preop pics which is a great sign, looks like it's heading in the right direction 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarsanUk Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 4.5 month post op update - Asmed- Dr Koray Erdogan hey guys it's been a little while this is my 4.5 months Post op update. Bare in mind that I had a lot of native hair as well so might be an idea to check out my pre op photos at the start of the thread. Hair line is way ahead of the crown at this stage. In fact alot of the hairs in the very extreme of the hairline did not shed. There is np sign at this stage of any multi hair grafts at the very front so happy about that.I'm feeling small sharp or spikey hairs on the crown although I can't physically see them at this point. I spoke to another doctor last night about this feeling of spikey sharp hairs and he said that's not a good sign (very surprised as I thought that is sprouting) and that I should tweeze transplanted hairs out that are not growing otherwise I'll get pimples. Don't understand that at all. It's only 4.5 months. In normal room light it looks good but then under light it looks very see through and actually the other doctor said it shouldn't be see through at this many months which again I think is horse shit. By the way this other doctor was not my doctor. Let me know what you guys think particularly Melvin would love to see what he thinks as well as Spex.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 20, 2019 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2019 To be honest, at 4.5 months this is really good. The outline of the hairline is strong and in 2-3 months it will be filled in. This has the makings of a homerun. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member Kingbilla Posted February 20, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2019 @FarsanUk What doctor meant was that these might br transplanted grafts shafts that have not shed or are stagnant (acting as foreign body) and could be blocking a new hair from growing. You can tell by tweezing them. They should come out easily . I think he genuinely gave you good advice. You should look into it, might be the reason crown is behind.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted February 20, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2019 Don’t stress yourself the crown is very often behind the hairline. My crown took the full 18 months to really mature. As others have said for 4.5 months you are well ahead of the curve which is very indicative of an excellent result! 2 First Transplant: 5000 FUE grafts with Dr Koray Erdogan ASMED, December 2016 First Hair Transplant link: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185564-5000-grafts-fue-13th-14th-december-asmed-dr-erdogan.html Hair loss regime Propecia 1mg daily Saw Palmetto 450mg daily Biotin 1000ug daily MSM 1500mg daily Pumpkin Seed Oil 1000mg daily 1% Nizoral shampoo weekly Lasercomb x 3 weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payam Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'd be pretty excited if my 4.5 months looked like that, it does look ahead of the growth curve. Regarding hairs that never shed but aren't growing, I've read that the growing hairs underneath will eventually push these out but the process takes a bit longer than if they had shed on their own.

I noticed there was something stuck in my crown and just dragged it out it was a hair with some sort of residue or dry skin stuck to it. How can this be happaning at 5 months ?

I tried tweezing a few and they came out easily..Just the hairs nothing else came with it such as a graft. I'm assuming this now leaves space for hairs to come through. Still very confusing.
