Great fast results for 5 months Yep still taking fin and still using minoxidil and will continue to. Its the best line of defense from further recession, which I know is inevitable.. but hoping to buy quite a bit of time before I eventually get a 2nd transplant down the road! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so hard to even notice the scalp underneath now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Cody95 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Words just cannot describe how much this has changed my life! In such a short time. Anyone who is on the fence should consider a HT... its not for everyone but the results are mind boggling. Even advanced cases like mine (NW4) there is hope that it can yield an excellent result! The new hair is a bit wirey and coarse but apparently it takes some time for the texture to change to match the rest of the hair. I know I'm one of the luckier ones because I am an early grower... my doctor said its rare to see a result like this in under 6 months. I hope that people who are watching this thread know this... I don't want anyone feeling bad about their results at 6 months because this is very early in the process for the large majority. Many people are just starting their growth at this time. Anyway, I hope everyone is finding the updates atleast a bit interesting and I will continue to as I go, albeit the results may be less and less noticeable from this point onward. 😁 Edited January 13, 2021 by Cody95 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge difference from the pre-op. Yes the density is amazing! The mircrograft technology the clinic uses is one of the best. The founder of the clinic, the late Dr. Seager actually pioneered this high density micrograft method and he was very highly regarded in all of North America. The current clinic still uses his methods! That was a huge selling factor for me. My result is also a great example of how effective FUT can be in fulfilling a high density transplant.

Regular Member Navthedon Posted January 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 Bro your hairline is not subtle at all. It looks really obvious you've had work done (which is not the goal). Maybe its the angle or lighting but you've achieved the density yet fallen short on the "natural look". Can you post more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you post more pics Do you mean in terms of a "pluggy look"? Yeah the lighting and pics I took there aren't great for seeing the details. Im not even at 6 months yet and the texture of it is still coarse, wiry and a bit whispy unlike my native hairs so its not yet matured. I think once the hair is matured, the staggered peaks they added should make it look a bit more natural I think. I also dont think I'll be doing a slick back sort of style.. I'm just doing it in my pics so its abit more clear to see the changes, I'll probably pull it forward to conceal the hairline a bit. I think its always important to consider specific hairstyles and realize that in many cases you're limited to what you can pull off, even after a transplant. Still miles better than where I started lol... and it has many improvements yet to go. I'll transplant again if necessary 😅 Heres an upclose of the hairline with direct light and its still quite unnmatured Edited January 9, 2021 by Cody95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fantastic, not only as a result but within the 6 month timeline. Honestly overall hair transplants will never actually look totally natural tbh, because its not lol. But they can get some pretty good results, and people on these threads tend to be dramatically more critical than most because we all spend a lot of time looking at hairlines LOL. Normal average people probably don't notice the little imperfections, especially if you can mask it with nice hair styles! For me I'm pretty happy with my results and I know its still early and it will improve even further! Like I said earlier hah, its by FAR alot better than before transplant!

Senior Member Britanium Posted January 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 Those hairs will soften and take on natural texture as the months pass by. For just 6 months this is exactly what you can expect. 👌 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted January 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 Absolutely, this is so much better than where you started out from. In 12 months plus time your going to be even happier. Such a big improvement. I like your outlook, it’s very realistic ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Navthedon Posted January 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 The hairline looks too straight. I think its best to take pics in natural sunlight. Regardless its less than 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted January 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 I’m guessing they pretty much followed what would have been your original hairline ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its pretty much that, he based on old photos. My original hairline was pretty straight. Maybe it might not be great in the long run I dont know, it might look too juvenile as I age not sure yet. I can always correct it probably if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
