Senior Member Leftwithrope Posted November 3, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hello, I would just like to have educated opinions on my hair transplant progress so I can put my mind at ease. As of today, I am currently at 4 months and 15 days post-op, and the procedure I've undergone involved the transplanting of 2500 grafts via FUE, with single hair grafts placed strategically along the hairline. On the right side of the photo, the growth seems to be faster and more mature, as evidenced from the darker fill as compared to the left side of the photo. If you notice particularly glaring bald spots in the forelock and/or upper left side of the photo, it is due to shock loss of my existing native hair, and I just started on a finasteride regimen 2 weeks ago in hopes of salvaging it. Right now, when I brush my hand through the transplanted area, it actually doesn't feel as sparse as it looks like on photos. That makes me wonder if I'm actually feeling hairs that aren't that visible yet. Then again, I might just be kidding myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Melvin. I was comparing my results to other young hair transplant patients like MikeNguyen and JeanLDD, and it definitely seems like I'm 1-2 months behind of them.

Senior Member Speegs Posted November 4, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Seems on track, the subtle changes ahead will last at least a year. Happy growing, after month 8 or 9 you'll see significant differences. Can't really compare your early growth too intensely with others as everyone is a little different. But your patience will probably be rewarded so don't sweat it. Edited November 4, 2018 by Speegs Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A.

With so much of the results posted online being home-run results, it's kind of hard to know where I stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think left means you can't compare the early stages of your growth to everyone else ,not that you are experiencing early growth as such .,Your growth looks about average to me ,and hair-line which is beginning to take shape looks good ,just try to relax you're really at the beginning of the fun stage , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
