2.5 months: itchy recipient area:

 

I noticed it is becoming more itchy in the recipient the past few weeks. What does that mean? 😁

[Shmiggy]

You’re still way early in the process. The good news is your donor looks natural. It may be a little thin, but no one is going to notice anything unnatural.

Itchy donor could just be those nerve ending finally repairing themselves from the surgery. Make sure you’re scalp isn’t too dry.

Thanks mate. It is actually the recipient area that is itchy

Sorry, recipient area itch can be those new buds starting to sprout. Have you gotten any pimples in the area?

Sorry my friend. No HT here. I’m a poor candidate with diminishing donor. I was looking at doing a small session with Dr. K. or Dr Nadimi to get a buzz cut look with some SMP. That’s why I was following your case to see what you experienced and how you felt about Dr. Nadimi.

I’ve been following these boards and the hair restoration field for over 10 years so I hear a lot about what to expect. I’ve only done PRP so far.

3 months: Well 2 days away from 3 months. Regrowth.... i think?

[Shmiggy]

Still too early. Looks like some growth, but could be different length of hair a bit.

[ahmeda87]

Month 4: Progress but slow?..... Also I have started using abit of nanogen as it covers up well. What does everything think about hair fibres after your HT?

[ahmeda87]

anyone please? I am worried by my progress

[Shmiggy]

Still too early. You look to be on schedule for 4 months. Remember your hair was much longer in your before pics so we couldn’t see the full extent of your hair loss.

true. I think I have had some good growth but I see people with a head full of hair at month 4 so got me worried.

4 months is way too early. This is literally the beginning of growth and I already see some growth. Patience is key.

Hang in there and be patient.  Post some new photos about the 6 month mark.

Hi Ahmeda87,

I've had 4 FUE operations, and have experienced thinning in both my recipient and donor hair - surprisingly enough, I've had thinning in different areas across the four operations. For example, in my first op, one side of my donor went patchy, but my recipient was fine. I had no thinning after HT2 or HT3, but in HT4 I've had thinning in both my donor and recipient area.

You've had great advice on here, from a lot of folk who know what they are talking about. I do feel your pain though. We have a HT to give us some hair on top, and in the short-term, we can actually look worse that we did before! I'm 6 weeks post surgery and my hair is not looking great at the moment (much worse than pre-surgery). I know it will look good soon, but it is such a slow process.

I'm also a bit of slow grower - again, this has varied across surgeries - so try not to compare yourself with others at a similar stage post-surgery. Ultimately, it is about the end result and this is the result you have to live with. Some of us just take a bit longer than others, but you will get there in the end. 

 

You picked a great doctor and I sure you will be happy with the outcome at 12 months and this will be a distant memory. It is great that you are documenting your results, because this will help others on this forum.

 

Happy growing.

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? 

[Hairgains]

Good improvements with 5.5 month update. And its only going to get better.  Still have 6 months of growth as well  which im sure will thicken it up more judging from other peoples progress. I wouldnt worry

 

How often are you doing  the PRP? Post hair transplant 

Edited November 6, 2019 by Hairgains

[Melvin- Admin]

Density will definitely improve, 5.5 months is barely even halfway. You're right on track, do you normally part your hair? I haven't seen that hairstyle since the 90's.

[Scott Medikemos]

Thanks for the update Ahmeda87.
There is a significant aesthetic improvement since your last post and this will continue to improve over the coming months with your full result coming in at 12-15 months.
I'm sure you are really pleased so far and I look forward to seeing your updates over the coming months.

Thanks, I guess Density is my only worry now. I did a total for 4 PRP sessions every 4 weeks as thats all I needed. To be honest, I am not sure if PRP worked.
