Regular Member timcfc Posted October 19, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Better lighting as promised. Taken today at the 3 1/2 month point. Long way off obviously but my right temple seems to be filling out a lot more compared to the opposite. The redness is a bit more noticeable in these photos too. From what I gather the time frame for this clearing is dependant on the individual and difficult to predict?

Senior Member Britanium Posted October 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2020 Normal to see uneven growth from side to side. Nothing to worry about it will even out eventually. The redness is as you say difficult to predict when it will clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member timcfc Posted November 13, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2020 4 months Not much change with the uneven growth. Hoping the left side starts to come through more in the next few months. Very happy with the right side so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member jimcraig152 Posted November 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2020 You're able to brush your hair at 4 months. The realization of that is just incredible. In your first photo, you look like a hair model. A sign of good things to come with the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member timcfc Posted December 8, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2020 5 Months Right side looking great, will it improve much more from where it's at? Left side still lagging behind. Hoping to see some progress soon, as the difference between the two sides is quite substantial. These photos are immediately out of the shower Dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 8, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2020 Definitely both sides will Improve from here! You’re now at the best stages of growth/maturity where most of us see the best Changes. Best months for me have always been 6/7/8. And like your seeing one side always seems to lag behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jimcraig152 Posted December 8, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2020 That hairline Dr. Reddy gave you doesn't just exude naturalness, it is natural. Still astonishes me to see how each graft is inserted perfectly in relationship to each hair and to your natural hair. Angles are perfect. Direction is perfect. Not a single hint of artificial work having been done. Remarkable work, exciting to see, and definitely happy for you brutha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CosmoKramer Posted December 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2020 Nice progress! And I agree with the 👆 comment, the hairline looks natural, nice work by the Doc. As for the difference in growth from left & right, I had the same, then it got better and caught up, so worry not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the consultant is not great at drawing hairlines but then again he/she is not the doctor. I really dislike the way the temples swoop down like that - you see a lot of that coming out of Turkey with a few exceptions of course. timcfc, I think you just need to weigh up the following, which you may have already done so: You have thinning throughout the top, so be prepared to embark on another 1 or 2 HTs in the next 5-10 years. On the hairline area, you almost have to accept that the first 1.5cm of existing hairs will be permanently lost. So the doctor should recreate the entire area rather than trying to work new hairs inbetween weak hairs. I would suggest a hairline that follows a similar path to what you have now, with some slight recession into the temples. Fortunately you aren't really more than a NW2 at the moment so it is a good 'age appropriate' look. The hairline might be able to be dropped slightly but hard to say without viewing your facial proportions and profile. It looks like you have a good 'wave to your hair' which provides better coverage than for the average person. Good luck. Why do you say to t 1.5cm o FB the existing hairline will be lost?? Are you talking about the area adjacent to the newly implanted hair? If so, why does this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a while since I made that post, but what I think i meant was that the trauma of placing a whole load of grafts in a thinning area would just kill off any weak hairs in that area. The doctor should probably just fill in the whole area if the existing hairs will be lost in 2-3 years anyway. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were saying it was like a shock loss effect that wouldn’t resolve itself. But I agreed they should go within the native hairs to help with diffuse thinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
