Senior Member Classygentleman Posted December 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) After 7 months the majority of people are starting to see results, although full results are expected after 12months (18 months in some cases) Everyone is different and many factors come into play- such as how extensive is your current hair loss? Are you on meds? What are your expectations and are they realistic? it’s worth looking through the many results on here. There are lots of documented journeys where people post their results at various stages. I’m sure you will find lots. That should help to give you an idea.

Senior Member MachoVato Posted December 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2020 I'd be more surprised if 7 months were not enough time to go out in public. It's not finished growing, but any thin areas could be handled with some Dermmatc or Toppik.

Senior Member ciaus Posted December 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2020 Its possible, 'typical' timeline is the initial shed of the transplanted hairs within the first few weeks, then ugly duckling phase until about month 3-4, then the transplanted hair growth cycles start. Depending on whether you are thickening a thinning area, or completing restoring a bald area, there are options to get your hair to be presentable. Concealers like Dermmatch and Toppik can help alot giving the illusion of thicker hair too, along with targeted hair styling/hair cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to have full hair by the 7 months by then. I know its a little unrealistic. But maybe possible. Depends on me I guess. 14 hours ago, UnbaldEagle said: Out of sheer curiosity, why 7 months?

Ok ugly duckling phase is expected. 4 months of it hopefully goes by quickly. So for the toppik or demmatch I dont like it on my scalp. I dont know what those products can do to my scalp after hair transplant. Maybe unsafe to scalp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member OliverAtom Posted December 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2020 From what I have seen, 7 months would be good in most cases... but you might have a slow process so you shouldnt count on having the final result by the 7th month. However, if I were you I would do it. It sounds great what you say: "like to be in another country and enjoying the life" 😀 Now and important part on this is ... finding the RIGHT Hair Clinic. Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Westview Posted December 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2020 Short answer, yes its possible. Those people are called "fast growers" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted December 23, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2020 It very well could be enough time, and without having actual statistics, I would venture to say that most users on this forum see considerable results by month 7. That said, there's no way to know with certainty how fast your results will come in and there's definitely not a guarantee, but I do think the odds would typically be in your favor.

Senior Member gillenator Posted December 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2020 There would probably be an obvious visual difference especially in areas that were barren of any native hair or where lots of recession occured…but can you imagine how much difference there will be at 12 months?

Extractions and incisions were done by Dr. Gupta himself, he had a team of three that were dividing up grafts for implantation. Very good technique in that incision, my fut scar is virtually invisible! The implants were done by a couple members of his team (can't remember the names) with him supervising! All in all, there was about 6 people involved in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
