Also is it just me or do you remind me of a young Pete Sampras??? 😉 If there’s one thing that I’ve benefited from the lockdown, it’s saving $40 a month. Had to look up Pete Sampras, what a glorious head of hair he had when he was younger. 1 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Regular Member andrew11 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hello everyone , Happy 2021 ! I thought i would share my near 6 month result. I am 3 days away from 6 months officially ! So ideally what i like to do when taking photos is to brush all native hair to the center of the head to expose the transplanted area conpletely, for the reason that if i would leave it normally the hair would be almost blended in with the native hair. I am very happy so far but yet i do feel a little worried about the "density" at 6 months as you can see that the scalp still seems a little bit visible when the transplanted area is isolated. For the experienced members here who have seen alot of cases, should i expect much more in terms of thickening up of the hair to the point of "full coverage" i see alot of guys with crazy results at 6 months and although i am content since i can actually blend all my hair together at this point it would be awesome to get another 30-35 percent if possible !

Regular Member Cody95 Posted January 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2021 Looks good! I myself was considering going with Dr. Rahal. FUT was the best option for sure. Generally speaking (but not always) it can sometimes yield higher density results than Fue. But for me, the reason why FUT was the only viable option was because I'm 25 like you and I want to preserve the donor area for future transplants. Fue can thin out the donor zone a bit making FUT in the future less dense. The scar doesn't bother me in the least tbh haha... Anyways, good growth! I have no doubt that you're going to be in for a treat with a bunch of major improvements in the next 2 months or so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been happy with the growth from the past 6 weeks, i am now at the point where i will be fully content with about 25% more growth or even maturation to provide some more coverage FUT dosent bother me either and at 25 planning for future surgery is always a priority. At the beginning truthfully i was a little surprised with the scar shortly post op, but it healed so nicely and i would even be willing to cut my hair down around the sides to a 1 or 2 , it does not bother me in the least tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member andrew11 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, just want to show everyone what a difference "cascading" the hair makes at just 6 months. I have a feeling some may post their photos while alot of their native hair is giving a "fuller effect" In these photos my hair is worn normally instead of combing all my native hair to the middle for photos. Safe to say I will be super content just for the hair to mature and thicken at this point during the next 6 months before pre op and now Edited January 11, 2021 by andrew11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see your progress. Thank you. Hi halo ! It is pretty much exactly the same as the pictures above ! The hair is pretty much blended in and looks like a full head of hair with the native hair if i expose the transplanted area it is slightly thinner than the native hair. Nearing 7 months and im really happy considering where i was before. Maturation could even possibly make it better which is awesome. Ill probably be making a video update around 10 months, when the hair is dry and i come out of the shower it looks awesome running my hand through it looks very natural to the hairline. I included a picture of me pulling my native hair to the left and right to expose the transplanted area completely. Keep in mind when i dont have an over oily scalp the transplanted hair looks even better since it dosent bunch together.

I will be doing so shortly when i can get my hair cut (on the sides most likely i would love to leave the top long and "messy") even with @Melvin-Moderatorgreat self cut tutorial video im afraid im going to mess up 😅 unfortunately all the barbers are closed as well Its such an incredible feeling but its why we go through the meds and surgery in the first place !

Sorry if I missed it, but do you know what your hair caliber is? And what was the hair/graft ratio? Hello Giegnosiganoe, Thank you ! Sorry embarrassingly enough i am forgetting what hair/graft ratio is truthfully... are you referring to graft survival rate or grafts planted per cm2 ? In any case 50 grafts per cm2 were planted if i am not mistaken for a high density coverage and as for the caliber i am a medium-fine hair patient Below ill leave my surgery statistics as well !
