Don't worry the gaps in the donor area should improve as the months go by, I had the same issues. That said, you will have less overall density in the donor area, so just be mindful of that. Everything looks on track I am excited to see your progress. Thanks dude, appreciate the feedback. This phase is surly a shaky experience as I was not expecting my native hairs to fall out. Understand donor will be less sense, just hope with time it looks less gappy. How long did it take you to see regrowth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you don't see great growth at 6 months do not be discouraged. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Fozzie Posted July 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2019 All looks pretty normal to be honest. The thinner parts in the donor area look to be recovering and I'd imagine will look fine in a few months. Recipient area looks OK to but ordinarily can't really gauge too much in the first 3 months in terms of growth. Know it's difficult but in the first 3 months I probably wouldn't over analyse things too much and just let nature takes its course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MarshallUK Posted July 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2019 Agreed with above all looks on track, try and just chill it's a long process. Once your about 4-6 months in it becomes more enjoyable when you see progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ahmeda87 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, transplantedphil said: You're just 4 months in today right? Then the ugly duckling stage should just be finishing and this is when you hopefully start seeing some noticeable growth. The hairs at this stage should be pretty weak as the hair shaft is still developing and has to go through more cycles to get thicker and reach full maturity Although your hair is cut at different lengths from the photos you provided, a simple comparison between them reveals your hair in the 4 month photo looks more uniform, meaning i suspect growth has already begun (whereas your hair in the pre-op photo looks really bare). Realistically Month 4 is way too early for most to assess their growth (took me until month9-10 to hit full density with my first FUE) so hopefully in the next month or so you;ll see some improvements. Just a waiting game at this stage buddy As for hair fibres i used them after 4 weeks. There are other threads on it, and ask your doc https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/54981-hair-fibers-after-hair-transplant-surgeons-recomandations/ Keep us updated correct 4 months. Yes I am seeing some growth. just got worried as some people have a head full of hair at month 4. Ye I get the waiting game can be stressful at time 😁 Thanks about the post on hair fibres.

Senior Member ahmeda87 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 5, 2019 5.5 Months - Improved a lot but worried about density. You can see my Parting is certainly better than before the HT. Will Density improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Fozzie Posted November 5, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Clear improvement and overall you are heading in the right direction. 5.5 months is still early and wouldn't worry too much about density at the moment. I'd certainly be happy with how things are going if I was in your shoes considering your pre-op situation.

Senior Member RecessionProof Posted November 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2019 The front looks very very good. I had a pretty noticeable density improvement from 5 to 7 months, so hang in there and I’m sure it will only get better! 1 https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/53836-2338-grafts-with-konior-hairline-restoration-fut/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ahmeda87 Posted December 27, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) 7.5 months - Pro - I no longer need to wear nanogen/hair fibres - that is ONLY if I style my hair flat and forward as you can see in the picture. Con - my hairline at the front is still gappy so if I style my hair up at the front then I need nanogen/hair fibres Please Note** I do not part my hair, only for demonstration purposes. The 90's are over. 😂 What do you think so far? Edited December 27, 2019 by ahmeda87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
