Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted October 29, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2021 Just under 5 months now. Just had a haircut. Spoke to The Hair Dr today and they’ve recommended Minoxidil to give my HT a boost. Here are some pictures showing what it now looks like. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2021 Six and a half months. Post shower pics. Left side is looking denser than the right, but obviously there’s still a lot of time to grow. Minoxidil seems to be helping. Want to dye my hair desperately but advised in doctors post op leaflet to leave it for 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just over 7 months. Wish I could dye my hair but been advised by Dr Arshad to not do that until at least 12 months. With 5 months to go, what are people’s opinions on growth/density? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marko7t4 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 Just over 8 months post op. Is it time for me to start worrying, especially about the left side on the first picture? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted February 13, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 To be honest, yes I would be a little concerned at this stage. Not to say it won’t improve as you still have at least another 4 months to go. But normally you would be expecting better growth/density at this point. Have you been Im contact with the clinic ? Just curious on what their feedback is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Thebaldingman Posted February 13, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 I wouldn’t worry yet!! My biggest signs of growth came at around the 9 months mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I sent pictures last month I got a response asking if I was taking fin/min and using Nizoral shampoo, which sort of implied that they thought it should be further along than it was. I know Dr Arshad is great with follow ups and top ups, etc, but I would’ve rather had a decent result in the first place instead of having to have more surgery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exactly that which has been concerning me with some of the Dr Arshad results. Whilst the after care is appreciated, it really shouldn’t be needed so often. This means the yield hasn’t been that good for some, and therefore reduces the amount of grafts left available for future procedures. I’m not saying this is the case for all patients, just that it’s happening on more occasions that it should. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Zoobz Posted February 13, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 The quality of Dr Arshad has been poor for quite a number of results now. It's a shame as he was initially fantastic in the UK. I would now officially strike them off a viable UK clinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you, I saw perfectly good results for a long time before he became forum recommended. And am very disappointed we don’t actually have anybody from the Uk I could actually feel comfortable in recommending.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 13, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2022 This result looks good, why are we having a conversation, as if this isn’t a good result at 8 months. The crown looks awesome, good growth in the hairline thus far, with more time for improvement. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Regular Member Zoobz Posted February 14, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 14, 2022 Because although it's a improvement, it's far below what we would expect at this stage. Few months left so maybe it will improve, but it's unlikely. No points dancing around reality. Say it how it really is so OP can move forward with the correct action 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can OP move forward when it’s only 8 months? Your post doesn’t even make sense. Op, please share front facing and top down pictures as well so we have more before and afters for comparison.

Here is a couple I’ve just taken after my shower and hair wash. The top is doing really well. My main concern is the left hand side at the front. A few I’ve tried to comb my hair up on. Then I’ve put it forward to compare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
