But you wont see any real growth until at least about 3.5/4 months approx. Month 1 to 3 is the worst part. Known as the ugly ducking stage. Oh, I know. I’m just hoping it’ll look better in early March than now. Some of my native hair will hopefully be back and I’ll at least be able to cover it up with Toppik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your guess is as good as mine. Thankfully, the gap is less noticeable in the photos I just posted. It still bothers the hell out of me though.

Seems like that would be the logical thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor planning by the Dr. Perhaps they didn’t take enough grafts to blend it better. The other side is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that would be the logical thing to do. When I complained about it, he said we would add grafts there, but that he thinks it will turn out good and not be necessary. Nevertheless, it clearly could've used a few hundred more grafts on the right side that I gladly would've paid for. I will say, the gap was not very evident when I was fully shaved and the donor area was drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t make any sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Saul Goodman Posted March 4, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) 8th Week Update - Things are going pretty well. Each week looks a little bit better than the last. - Starting to be a little concerned about the right side being over harvested. Still pretty thin and red on that side of the donor. - I’m going to a wedding in 3 weeks, and I’m hoping I’ll have some decent improvement before then. I bought DermMatch because hair fibers are very noticeable at this stage. Only tried the DermMatch once and it’s not a great color match, but I may still use it for the wedding. - I had to go to Chicago for work, so I had the sides trimmed to a 2” a week and a half ago. Nothing off the front. - Every day I get 2-3 of the little pimples (in the pic below) on my donor area. Is this normal? Any recommendations on how to treat this? I’m waiting on a folliculitis treatment to arrive from Amazon that I ordered yesterday. How do y’all think this looks for the 2 month mark?

Senior Member Britanium Posted March 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2021 Looks perfectly normal for the 2 month point. It’s not going to Improve that much in 3 weeks to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty realistic about everything and have looked at so many progression threads that I know it won’t be great in 3 weeks. Not too worried about it either way.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 4, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 4, 2021 It looks normal, the pimple is probably an ingrown hair.

Regular Member Saul Goodman Posted May 19, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2021 Day 133 (4 months & 13 days) It seems to be about right for the timeframe, but I’m curious to hear what you all think. Sorry for missing a month or two with posting. I recently moved and it’s been a hectic time. You can still see the gap on the right side that I previously complained about from an aerial view. I chose the 2 pics where it was most apparent. Hoping it blends soon as there’s nothing I can do at this time. What do y’all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Seattlerunner Posted April 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2023 I had a FUT strip by McGrath and i also had a gap on one side of my hairline. I just had more FUE work done by Eugenix in India and they mentioned that the hairline was not straight and they noticed that there was hair missing on one side. Disheartening to see your case is similar to what I experienced there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
