Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 13, 2018 Administrators Share Posted December 13, 2018 5.5 months is early and if you suffered shock loss it can take another few months to fully regain the hair you lost. 12 months is the minimum. Also, without pictures not much we can say besides be patient. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Why would u not ask him? That’s the first person you should ask instead of strangers on a forum. Contact him with pics or if u live close by book a follow up appointment. Maybe he can show you your scalp under a digital microscope to see if there’s any activity going on. Edited December 14, 2018 by jj51702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Legend007 Posted December 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2018 The crown is the slowest part to grow .. so if u hairline is growing right now ,. U should still be good .. I don’t think u should be panicking yet .. let the process run it’s course .. I just did my surgery .. n I barely look at my hair .. if it works then great .. if not , then there’s options , especially since u have good donor hair .. Don’t need to overstress urself . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be damn near total coverage How can 1,000 grafts be full coverage? The crown takes around 4,000 grafts alone for full coverage. You have unrealistic expectations.

I have probably double avg hair thickness and 30% better than the avg donor density (my yield was around 3 hair per grafts and I've been told avg is more like 2) this is 2800 grafts with a huge crown area - significantly worse than mine and he's got great density Edited December 14, 2018 by AnalogFeel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically how you look at any results on this site - you see what the HT doctor is capable of, and what potentially your results may look like, but it's more a best guess scenario. what EXACTLY did your doctor say regarding expectations? send us some pics documenting your growth over time. we all want to help. there has been really zero growth in my view which is why I'm not posting pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
