Please keep us updated. Is it still likely to have new hair sprout at this stage? I didn't know if all hair would have sprouted by now and its just current hair density that improves? I will keep updating.. it's so frustrating when guys just stop. Haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s different for everyone, for some they get most of their growth by six months, and others don’t see full growth till 12 months. Definitely be patient and keep us updated. That said, it looks promising so far, but obviously not 100% as expected. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member mustang Posted May 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2020 5 months is 60% of the result, by 8 months you will have better idea. The right section of your hairline had missing density from dray one compared to the center and left. You will need a 100-200 graft touch up on that zone. You hair will continue to improve for another 4 months at least and maybe get even thicker (not new hairs coming out) after that. I have had 12 procedures done and while we all react differently but nothing will grown where nothing was implanted. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member UK39 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 13, 2020 Here is the update guys... I am just over 6.5 months out. Hoping for some noticeable improvements as you can see from the photos, but I had a reassuring call with Dr Rahal and his team, who I must say again have been phenomenal with post op follow up and care. Here's hoping it really starts filling in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member UK39 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hey guys... Sorry for the lack of updates. Here are some brand new pictures. I believe these are the 8.5 month post op photos. So it looks very natural and nobody has noticed I have had it done at all. Obviously there is still time for more density to come in as well. My only gripe is the left side hasn't been done like the right. I have a small mole on the left side that was covered in the pre op drawing, but the hairline has not been taken to where that line was and as such the right side looks a lot better. You can see from the photos the right side is more aesthetically pleasing and balanced. However Dr Rahal and his team have been exceptional during the whole process and have assured me they will do a small touch up if needed in the future. I will keep you guys updated. All in all I cannot recommenced them enough to be honest, and I would not hesitate to go there again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TorontoMan Posted October 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thank you for updating. Think it looks great, considering your hair style pulls you hair back slightly, you still have great coverage with such little grafts. If you get some more density these next couple months think you'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member UK39 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2020 I'll ask for my pre op photos to share for those who want to see them. My hair is that thick i could always frame my face without showing signs of obvious hair loss but will be very evident with the clinics photos as the hairline is exposed.

Im going to start TRT soonish as it is very important to keep T levels high when you get to a certain age (mine are above average but over a certain threshold brings endless health benefits and protects against prostate cancer) I would contemplate finasteride if it was micro-dosed in vodka. The doses people take are way higher than they need to take and the sides can be horrific and permanent. I do have a very large red light therapy panel at my house that i use most days a week and I swear by it, it has proven benefits for the hair amongst other things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
