Unfortunately the iPad that I was using to take daily post-op progress photos crashed and I lost a couple weeks worth of photos before being able to do a back up. I did, however, find 1 photo that I had emailed myself that I believe is 7-days post op, included below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Baldrick101 Posted February 24, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think it looks great OP. I don't think you could ask for much more to be honest. If you look at where you were to where you are now, its night and day. You must be thrilled at only 8 months in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! @Baldrick101 At this point, I’m fairly happy. Yes, I definitely agree I’ve come a long way from before the procedure and the progress, although, honestly I do think my mid scalp and crown area need more improvement and density so hopefully that improves in the upcoming months to where I can definitely honestly say that I am fully thrilled at the full results, and I’ll be taking photos of those area next week to post at my 8.5 months. I definitely do not regret getting the procedure done. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 24, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2019 Thought I’d add that I noticed some newly grown fine hairs in my hairline, so it’s true, you can get new growth even after you’ve reached 8 months. Hope that helps those that are wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be nice when you get a haircut and say"a little off the top please". Very good result. I'm happy for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member delancey Posted February 25, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2019 It looks like there may be some doubles in your hairline (from the most recent photo that you posted).

Who was your doctor? Not sure but may have a couple or a few that have a 2 hairs coming out of 1 root but like in the close up photo, new single hairs seem to be sprouting in front of the ‘doubles’ but I’ll have to do a closer look when taking photos again, I’m not much bothered by them unless it was many more and 3 or 4 hairs per root.

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted February 27, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) So, it’s now 8.5 months post my FUE procedure and I have seen noticeable improvement in my left temple side (right side in the photos) that was lacking growth. Ive taken a few photos in harsh bathroom light after styling my hair dry with a blow dryer since it is getting longer, haven’t used a blow dryer in 15-years 😂 but I’m not much of a fan as it makes the hair look thinner. I find it funny how the new hair is much darker than my native or the way my native hair was years ago, going grey sucks 😂 Edited February 27, 2019 by CosmoKramer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Qneedhair Posted February 27, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2019 Going gray is better than hair going away, wouldn't you say? I wouldn't worry about going gray, its hair!!! is your hair hard to style without the hairdryer? If it is, I think a cool setting would be ideal but air drying isn't an option?

True, and can’t escape it but able to cover it up. It was an older hair dryer that doesn’t have a cool setting so may get a new one and try that. I’ve almost always let my hair air dry, especially in all my previous photos in my posts, it’s okay just makes the hair look weak and frizzy.

LonelyGraft Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Looks really good bro! Consider this too....your left side also has the natural light from the window shining on it too which should make it look much worse but it isn’t! I wouldnt worry about having a few doubles in the hairline one bit. Hair transplantation is not about creating perfection, but rather improving your overall appearance (at least this is my idea). And in your case that is exactly what it did! 👍🏻 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m not so worried about any doubles in the hairline, and actually I’ve looked close and don’t really see them in the first row, even see a few new fine hairs just starting to grow in the front line, I agree, I’m not looking for perfection, sometimes perfection can look fake and unnatural, thanks, appreciate your input!

Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted March 10, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 10, 2019 A few days short of the official 9-month post FUE procedure mark but I thought I’d take some photos and post now. Photos are right after a shower with very wet hair, parted for a ‘Peaky Blinders’ style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! i didn’t get a chance to take photos of donor or crown since it’s tricky doing it myself but my donor feel normal and same as a previous photo I posted some posts back in this thread. My crown area is improving thought slowly and still see-thru but not a lot of grafts where placed there originally, but much better than pre-surgery.
