I think it looks great considering you haven't even hit the 5 month mark where I imagine growth will impress you I agree, despite all the negative prognosis OP's hair is growing by leaps and bounds.

Regular Member Raymond92 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Hi guys! I will reach the fourth month in five days. For now, I can see a slight improvement from the third month as well, as if my hair is thicker day by day and the crown is starting to get full as well. I hope my donor area recovers even better. When I comb it from the front, it already looks pretty good, but it’s downright still rare. Edited December 23, 2020 by Raymond92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Raymond92 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) and even more interesting is that I seeit thickening more on one side than on the other Edited December 23, 2020 by Raymond92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 3 months is very early in the journey as your aware. Proper growth is usually seen after 4 months. And the crown is usually slower. For me I have seen improvements in my crown area up to 18 months after the ht. Looking from the front you can see it starting to form your new hairline 👌 And it’s very common for one side to grow quicker than the other. It’s happened to me repeatedly. I think your good for this early stage 😌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member UnbaldEagle Posted December 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 Well, it's already so much better than the exit plan of shaving it all off, right Raymond? 😁 Rooting for you. 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted February 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2021 @Raymond92be really nice to see how your doing at the mid way point ! You must have just hit 6 months now. Particularly interested in how the crown is coming along ? And if the sides are starting to sync up. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member EvoXOhio Posted February 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2021 I definitely feel for the OP. I suffer from anxiety and depression. After my surgery, during the ugly duckling phase I had so much buyers remorse and regret. I remember thinking the same thing, that I wouldn’t get good results and now I could no longer shave my head bald. I would worry endlessly, stare on the mirror constantly and be worried sick about my results. But now I’m at 7 months, and even if growth stopped now I’d be a happy camper. Knowing that for the next 5-11 months my hair will continue to mature makes me feel even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Raymond92 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi guys. Unfortunately, my hair implant is not going well. Now I realized how bad a decision I had made. My hairline was pushed very forward and the front was full of multigrafts. It doesn't look very natural. I was too naive when I went to Turkey and thought it was a routine operation. I made worst decision of my life for sure. Although, it really doesn't matter what clinic you graduate from. Do you think a good clinic can fix this bad job in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted February 25, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 @Raymond92 I'm so sorry, but from your first post I told you that by relying on one of these pseudo clinics in Turkey, unfortunately you are not the only one to have done so. Of course it is possible to repair, but you have to rely on a top surgeon for repairs, there are many, for me Feriduni is one of the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this surgery was just about taking the hair out of one of the hair and then putting it where it wasn’t. I had no idea it was one of the most complicated aesthetic surgeries. And it’s terribly annoying that these many fake clinics are actually ruining human lives with their bad work. In the future, I would definitely like to correct this bad result. But how is the repair process? Who can take multigrafts from the front and replace them with the right ones? Can they still make a natural hairline for me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted February 25, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 Can you show us some more pics ? Like the crown, mid scalp also. Yes you could refine the hair line at a late date. This is the prob with hair mills they won’t be using singles for the hairline. Looks like you do have good growth though. How is your donor area looking ? You still have another 6 months of growth/maturing for this ht. In future singles could be implanted in front of your current hairline. Of course it is fixable just needs a good Clinic/Dr. Like Dr Feriduni, Dr Pekiner and HLC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crown area has grown almost nothing. And my donor area was also very mutilated. In the future, I think beard grafts can be repaired by a good surgeon Edited February 25, 2021 by Raymond92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 25, 2021 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2021 @Raymond92 To be honest, yes there are multi-units in the hairline and it doesn’t look as natural as it could be, but it’s not a complete loss. It would be relatively easy fix, but you have to choose a quality surgeon not a “cheap” surgeon. 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

There’s a difference in refinement when you go for cost instead of quality.

Regular Member Raymond92 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 @Melvin-Moderator you're absolutely right. I was very naive and thought it was a routine intervention. And it’s very disturbing that there are so many profitable, bad clinics that take advantage of people’s credulity and attract them with cheap marketing gimmicks. It sure is a lifelong lesson for me. I will fix it in the future, but in the meantime I will have to endure this hairline for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Raymond92 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2021 hello guys, i'm in my 7.5th month now. I decided to cut it one by one because when it was big, it looked awful because of the multgrafts, and it was very rare anyway, especially in the crown area. I started finasteride (1.25 mg daily) about a month ago (no side effects). My question would be that the pictures I attached. Based on what you see, do I have enough donors left to correct a good surgeon in the future? Or can finasteride be effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Raymond92 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) If I leave it a little longer, it looks like this in the front, I would like a different hairline for the repair procedure, because it is very front.
