Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 5, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 5, 2022 At two months you are sitting right in the ‘sweet spot’ of the ugly duckling phase. So bearing that in mind I think you are looking good. Lots of hair to come through in the future. Looking forward to following your progress.

Attaching two-months pictures. Your comments/thoughts are welcome. Thx Looks good for the 2 month mark. The shedding is on point. The redness is still there. It shall go away soon. If you do decide to have a haircut then maybe you should trim the sides and let the hair on the top portion grow. Are you taking Finasteride? Please do reach out to us for anything you need. Wish you the best.

Senior Member MazAB Posted March 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Everything looks very normal at the 2 month mark. Be sure to take finasteride and you can also start using minoxidil at this point to reduce shock loss and speed up growth as well.

Regular Member elicochin Posted March 22, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone Not sure how to report on this. I do see growth all over, but not as much I was expecting (or imagining). I think there are lot more hairs coming out on the crown area as well as some on the frontal scalp. May be you all can provide an objective feedback on the growth so far. Attaching four-months pictures. Thank you as always. -JJ Edited March 22, 2022 by elicochin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 22, 2022 Administrators Share Posted March 22, 2022 Growth is a little slower than expected, but still growing. Are you taking any thing to speed up growth?

The one I got is the lasercap, it’s pretty expensive, but it’s cheaper if you buy it through a surgeon. I chose this one cause it used lasers, as opposed to LEDs that some of the cheaper ones use.

This would be also an alternative remedy (in my case) since I am not on any medications. I would like to understand a bit more about how to get it through a surgeon as you mentioned. I can also PM you to keep this thread on the original topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member elicochin Posted May 28, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone, Here is an update and some pictures I took today (going on 7th month). I am excited about the transformation with occasional self doubts. While I do see lots of growth all around, I am unsure about the hairline (especially the middle part) and the lack of hair/growth on the lateral humps area. Most of the white hairs you see on the back are beard hairs; they are a bit difficult to comb down right now. I started going out without a hat or a cap these days! I am not on any type of medication. As always your valuable feedback, opinion and suggestions are welcome. -JJ Edited May 28, 2022 by elicochin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SLA Posted May 31, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 31, 2022 Hi @elicochin- I think your progress looks excellent! From being a NW 6 and a questionable 1st procedure, this 2nd one is shaping out fantastically! You really do look transformed and you have a lot more time for growth! I think the front hairline looks fine and age appropriate. If you want more density after 18 months, I am sure another 2k or so grafts would fill it out nicely or a dash of hair fibers would also do....but you are only at 7 months. Thanks for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member elicochin Posted February 24, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hello Everyone, thanks for your continued interest and queries. Here is a 14-moth update with some pictures. I have absolutely no doubt about the transformation and confidence that I gained as a result of the HT. I started planning towards a possible third and final HT to enhance the hairline (especially the middle part), lateral humps and the area around the crown. My last HT was done at Eugenix and I would love to go back there for another HT if that can be worked out. I would also like to know my options for surgeons within the US considering it would be a smaller HT. As always your valuable feedback, opinion and suggestions are welcome.
