Regular Member Sambo Posted July 26, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hey guys so if you click on my profile there is another post I made 15 days post op with a few post op pictures if you want to see but I decided to start this new thread. I’ve always had a high hairline and was always self conscious about it and that already high hairline had started to thin so I wanted to get it addressed. I decided to go with Dr Hasson to which I received 3500 grafts. I’m 1 week out from 5 months post op and just wanted to provide an update for those who were interested and some opinions from the community on how things are looking and if I’m on track. How much more growth can I expect? The right side seems to be growing a lot slower. First 2 pics are pre op (me playing with hairlines) lol next is immediate post op Next 2 pics are under harsh bathroom lighting and daylight (4 month, 3 weeks) last 2 are in normal/darker light (4 month, 3 weeks) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 29, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2020 That one day post-op donor pic is extremely clean, almost unbelievably so! Things are coming along for you.

Regular Member Sambo Posted July 29, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 29, 2020 Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. Yeah sorry, should of mentioned it was FUE. Very happy with how my donor area looks, feels and how quickly it recovered. You could barely notice it had even been touched. I know at almost 5 months I’m still early on in the game, I’m seeing improvements week by week so I feeling carefully optimistic about the next 7 month, hopefully it turns out well 🤞🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gabreille Nelson Mukhia Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 Absolutely stunning. Looks so good. By the 12th month, you're going to have such beautiful results.

Senior Member Kaya Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 Looks good. How old are you? Can you please provide your preop pictures? The recipient area looks not too large in the first 2 pictures but postop pictures show the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sambo Posted July 30, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 @Kaya I’m 27, I don’t have the pictures, just these at the moment. I think I know why you might think that, I had given myself a haircut the day before and shaved the back and sides so before it was just as thick as my crown and the little area below that, so that’s why it may appear shorter or thinner!

Senior Member Curious25 Posted July 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 Great hairline design! Few more sprouts Over the next 6 weeks and the maturation of the already popped hairs will leave you looking fantastic by fall. Are you on any medical therapy ?

Regular Member Sambo Posted July 30, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) @Curious25 not any meds, I’m not predicted any future loss for a while I hope. According to my hair characteristics and family history but only time will tell! The only thing I have been taking is 1000ug biotin daily from month 3 yeah I really hope you’re right man! Definitely have some weak spots but I’m 50% growth roughly so trying not to worry about it too much for now!

Senior Member Tentpole91 Posted August 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 @Sambo any progress over the last two weeks? You're in the major growth phase now, each week it should be looking better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sambo Posted August 9, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hey man, I believe so! My native hair is growing a lot and it’s always been thick and becomes unmanageable. I’m torn between cutting it down along with the transplanted hairs or just letting it all grow. I’ll probably post an update at 6months which will be around the 4th! I’m hoping the weaker areas will have filled in abit more by then! isit true that a lot of major growth changes happens between 8-10 month stage? Has anyone experienced that?

Regular Member Sambo Posted August 11, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) So I’ve decided to provide a small update, Only 2 weeks from my last but I’m now 5 months, 1 week! I feel there has been a little bit of progress In 2 weeks but the right side of my head is still lacking behind and I’m really hoping that’ll change over the next coming months, I have no product or anything in my hair, just dry Edited August 11, 2020 by Sambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sambo Posted November 25, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hey everyone, time has really flown and I’m already just shy of the 9 month mark so I thought I’d provide an update to those who are interested. I Would love to say my transplant is perfect but there is 1 or 2 spots that haven’t grown as well as other places! The last 2 photos that are added is what I am referring to. What would you do in this situation? A Touch up if it doesn’t improve? It’s only noticeable if brushed a certain way and others probably wouldn’t notice. Overall I’m very happy and have come a long way. I don’t stress or try to hide my hair like I once used to. The top 3 pics are pre-op and 8 months the rest are 9 months the last 2 are weak spots.

Senior Member OliverAtom Posted November 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hello Sambo, How are you doing? What are your feelings about this result? What does your family or friends tell you about it? Have they noticed? In my humble opinion, with 3500 for that frontal area and talking about Hasson, I was hoping for a little bit more... I guess, for what you are saying, that´s your same impression right? A touchup? I would say yes although it´s not essential. I mean, as you are saying, now you can just enjoy that new look which is great but ... now you want more for sure! Just wait a few months, let that new hair sit and let´s see when u see yourself in the mirror in the 15 month time... then decide on the possible touchup. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience, it really helps 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
