Regular Member alex1985 Posted March 9, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Overall I should be very pleased with the results after 4 months and 25 days. But I am worried about a small patch on my hairline, I am really obsessed with it. I am staring it all the time, taking photo's, ask my girlfriend about it etc. etc.. I should be happy with my results (get a lot of compliments), but at this moment I am not, just of this. There is one patch in my hairline which should contain 2-3 grafts which haven't popped (yet?), and there were two short hairs in my skin. They were shedded because I just took them out of my skin without any resistance (photo is before). Do you think I just could have a delayed growth in this area, thus expect growth later on? Or do I have to expect this grafts to be dead? And if I found these maybe there are many more 'dead grafts'. In my opinion I haven't got any more popped grafts between month 4-5. This is now, with flash (5 months post-op) 4 months comparison Edited March 9, 2021 by alex1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 At 5 months only about 50% of the grafts have popped through the scalp. So they still have plenty of time in your case. Looking at your pics you seem to have a very good result for this early stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alex1985 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 Thanks @JohnAC71, I thought that the hairs in the front rows get trough at first (better blood flow?). So that why I thought maybe this is it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member alex1985 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Thanks @Melvin-Moderator, great info! Correct me if I am wrong, the examples in your video looks more like maturation than newly popped grafts..? In my case it looks like, some grafts just didn't pop. What do you think of my progress so far? Edited March 9, 2021 by alex1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TorontoMan Posted March 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2021 Lol don't stress, your hair looks great even this early on. In the case that small section you pointed out doesn't end up growing its not a big problem to get it touched up with a few grafts. But imo you're in a good position and will get a great result. Relax and enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted March 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2021 The regrowth occurs intermittently and this is why it takes a good solid 12 months to judge the growth of the grafts.

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted May 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted May 4, 2021 Really good result overall! For the small section without hair, honestly maybe the doc or tech made an error of some kind, or didn't put enough grafts in. But as you experienced firsthand, even great HT's are not 100% perfect.
