Regular Member KJ123456 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thought I’d share a few pics at 17 weeks / 4 Months. it’s strange as in darker lights, my hair is starting to look thicker with less visible ‘scalp’ but it still looks extremely thin and sparse in harsh lighting. I’m hoping things thicken up over the next few weeks (maybe months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted February 25, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2021 Your right at the beginning of your growth, so this is looking good 😌 improvement since the last pics for sure. And the best months are now ahead. Ugly duckling phase is in the rear view mirror 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted February 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I love stumbling across a thread that has about 4 months of updates by the time I see it. Lol. Lots of instant gratification for me - something you probably wish you had more of with your hair transplant, I see. Chiming in to say that you A) you seem to be right on track, B) my redness lingered in much the same way yours has been and it eventually completely went away, C) the work immediately post-op looked extremely clean/sophisticated, and D) I suspect you're about to turn a corner and start seeing some solid improvements over the next couple of months.

Hey, thanks a lot for your reply. It’s really helpful. You kind of try and compare your own case to others that you’ve seen but when someone is drawing a direct comparison to their own results, it’s a huge help. Can’t wait for the next couple of months’ results ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member KJ123456 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just under 2 weeks off the 5 month stage and thought I’d post an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member KJ123456 Posted March 12, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2021 This stage is really strange. On one hand I look at the pic above and think it looks great and ‘full’ then under harsh lighting it looks bald with a few sparse hairs here and there. Just wondering how normal this is?

Senior Member Britanium Posted March 13, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2021 Definitely on the growth spurt now ! It will seem worse under strong lighting, especially at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted March 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 18, 2021 Lighting can change everything, so don't overthink it. As your results continue to come in, the contrast between normal and harsh lighting will be less and less, and with time, you may also learn that there are certain hairstyles and products that give you a better illusion of density than others. You're still very early on, and have lots of time for things to continue to improve. And for what it's worth, lighting really is key to pretty much any cosmetic appearance, from skin to eye color to, in this case, hair density. It's why professional photographs that have all of those things working in their favor always look so damn good. 1 1 I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.

Regular Member KJ123456 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just over 5 months and definitely seeing significant growth now! A few pics in various lighting. The pic with the flash on is probably misleading as I still have a ‘cover up’ haircut so the transplanted hair is being heavily supported by existing hair. On the other pics I’ve tried to pull the existing hair back to show the actual transplanted hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations 👏🏼 Thanks for that! I’m really pleased with the results. I especially like the fact that I can just smile when it’s windy, gone are the day’s of moving my whole body position to get the wind to blow my hair in the right direction (ie not letting the ‘cover up’ hair look like a wig blowing in the wind!!) 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Yoo Posted May 27, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 27, 2021 Amazing result, buzzing for you mate, the hairline is so natural. It was your post that made me book with Farjo in the end, so thanks for posting. The big day next Thursday and a similar amount of grafts. Completely empathise with the wind thing, for me it’s always the first corner I turn out of any building 😂 Enjoy the rest of the growing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll spend months doubting everything, thinking that your case is the one that doesn’t work, but you have to be patient. Easy for me to say who questioned everything 😆.
