Regular Member Ben123 Posted April 15, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 5 months progress, so far going pretty good seeing improvements each week. My left side is progressing faster and looks fuller, still have a few small spots that seem like there's no new hairs popping out from. Hoping new hairs will start popping out from those spots soon. Recently buzzed my hair because I wanted to see the progress without native hairs covering up. Until which month do you usually see new transplanted hairs popping out?

Regular Member Ben123 Posted May 16, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) 6 months update. Things are progressing well so far but right side is still weaker compared to my left side so hoping there's still new hairs that will pop out and for that side to catch up. Adding a lot of pics today of wet and dry hair under harsh bathroom light and dry hair under normal light. Edited May 16, 2021 by Ben123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mark Wolfer Posted May 16, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 Fantastic result bro and only half way there... congrats on this great work by Dr. Hasson. How's the crown coming in with the fin? Are you still off of minox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the crown coming in with the fin? Are you still off of minox? Thanks! Hoping it will even out and right side will be as good as the left side. Crown is about the same kinda hard to tell but most times when I pass my hand through my hair I see a few hairs falling off around 1-5 not sure if that's normal or further hairloss.. so far been on it for 10 months and still off minox. I'll probably go back to get my crown done as well, according to Dr.Hasson I should have another 5000 grafts roughly for further transplants. Btw I saw on your post that you switched from fin to dut how long ago did you make the switch and are you noticing any difference from the switch?

Would you want Dr. Hasson again, or would you ask for Dr. Wong given his reputation for crown work? re: dutasteride I can't say I saw much or any regrowth vs. what fin was doing already but it's hard to tell. I think both fin and duta pretty much stalled further hair loss, and dutasteride is just a better insurance policy for me given that it blocks both enzymes and I don't have sides with either of them. Leaning towards Dr. Hasson since the results so far are great but not sure. When the time comes I'll ask to consult with both and check out crown work from both and see what each recommends to do for the crown. I see did you still notice a few hairs on your hands when you run them through your hair when dry or wet? (From before the operation since its all buzzed off now lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairlossPA Posted May 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 on a scale of 1-10 how happy would you say you are with the results so far? I am past 6 months myself and I would say have a similar result as you so far. hoping there's more left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be following a few months behind you when it comes to a crown transplant so I'll be interested to see what you decide. I think I'm over focusing on it since I try running my hand through in the shower multiple times and counting how many hairs stick each time 😅 which I should stop doing probably. Did Dr. Hasson give you an estimate on how many grafts you'll need for the crown? To me he said it's better to wait until a year passes and then see how well fin worked and go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ben123 Posted May 17, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 17, 2021 7 minutes ago, Mark Wolfer said: We didn't speculate on how many grafts would be needed for the crown. I was clear that I wanted to work on my front third first and he agrees my crown is light but we can look at it later on. He thinks I still have plenty of donor available for another surgery, I didn't get an estimate of what is available but he said there's thousands left for future work. I have a weak mid area too so I'm probably going to need to go less dense on future transplants and I'm considering SMP to give an illusion of a thicker mid / crown area. Possibly will put some SMP into my donor area too depending on how it looks after a second surgery. Sadly my mid area is also kinda weak my hair loss pattern is diffused and when my hair is short the weak mid area is showing a bit so I'll probably have to get work on it also or maybe go the smp route I'll see what Dr. Hasson says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted May 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 18, 2021 Holy COW! I know these are your results just after 6 months and you still have growing to do. But if this was a final result, I'd be unbelievable happy with it. This is going to be a 10/10 in 6 months time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Very happy so far and if my right side catches up to the left I will certainly think of it as a 10/10 results! I guess my hair greed is strong since Dr. Hasson is considered one of the best, I'm hoping and expecting the best especially with the price tag lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
