Senior Member BLE123 Posted March 30, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2021 Your hair looks way better at this length than how you had it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairlossNE Posted March 30, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2021 @BLE123Yeah I usually keep it around this length but with COVID I hadn't gotten a hair cut in about 6 months when I took the preop photo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairlossNE Posted April 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 18, 2021 Hello Everyone! It's been 3 months since my hair transplant in January. I am finally starting to see the hairline forming and hairs are beginning to grow! The scar is now barely noticeable and I couldn't be happier as I was terrified of experiencing shock loss around the scar. I am still on finasteride and oral minoxidil everyday with no sides. I will say that I feel like my hair has thickened in the front "tuff" and that my hair overall feels thicker and healthier. I also noticed that I am not shedding as much as I used to after I shower. Before meds, I would run my hand through my hair and have 5 to 10 hairs on my hand whereas now I don't really see any. I know a good handful of people on this forum prefer not to take meds but I feel it is needed to slow down the progression of balding and to give your native hair a better look. I am excited to see what the future holds! I feel I am turning the corner and can't wait to see all the growth. Here are some month 4 photos: Front: Left Side: Right Side: Back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairlossNE Posted May 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 18, 2021 4 months: Another Month down! This was an exciting month! I am able to actively see my new hair sprouting and can feel stubbles of hair coming through everyday. I am excited for my left and right side to eventually thicken out and provide coverage. Right now, the hairs are thinner and haven't matured. I'm still taking the oral minoxidil and finasteride every day and using dht blocking shampoo and vitamin enhancing conditioner. I decided not to include a pic of the donor as it hasn't changed from the prior month and the scar isn't noticeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairlossNE Posted June 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2021 Month 5 has come and gone! The hair is starting to grow and thicken a little more. Still feeling and seeing new hairs sprouting. I am still taking finasteride and minoxidil daily along with biotin and dht blocking shampoo. Hoping in the next few months my right side starts to see more coverage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mavigo Posted January 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 16, 2023 Interested to see how this turned out. Also, why did you choose FUT over FUE? Thanks.

Regular Member hairlossNE Posted January 16, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hey everyone! It’s been around 2 years since my FUT and wanted to share an update. Hair has come in pretty nicely overall. There are a few spots that are thinner than I would like but I feel like the surgery was worth it in the end. To answer a few questions: I chose the FUT to preserve the donor area for a future procedure in case I keep balding. Overall my balding has stabilized with the help from minoxidil and Finasteride.
