Regular Member BuellerBueller Posted May 20, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've been going through decades of photos to compare my hairline to today and, likewise, have been surprised how far back my temples were receded then relative to what I remember. I think if you're able to hide it well enough, it becomes less of a concern. For me, over the last few years, I started to like my appearance better when I had ballcap on...that was the lightbulb moment when I decided it was time to pursue surgery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member im_not_a_robot Posted May 30, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Hi y'all. Just a quick (3 months and one week) update just because i'm seeing the first signs of growth! The first pic to the left was taken two weeks ago, while the 2nd to the right was taken yesterday. Also added two pics taken outside today showing how big of a difference lighting conditions makes. Edited May 30, 2022 by im_not_a_robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your’re in a good situation for a hair transplant, and i think you will have a great outcome 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member im_not_a_robot Posted September 12, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Hi, just wanted to post an update. Its now been 6,5 months since my surgery. Although there is an obvious improvement from pre-surgery, i am bit worried about the density. However, i am still seeing new hairs pop through, which is a good sign. Hopefully there will be more in the coming months and more density added Edited September 12, 2022 by im_not_a_robot Added pictures different lightings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member im_not_a_robot Posted September 12, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 12, 2022 I also want to add that i seem to have hairs that sprouted a couple months ago, but dont seem to be growing. To be clear, these are hair that initially shed. Seems to be a bit unusual, but have read about it happening to some other people on here as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much change from the last update. Cant say i’m happy with the progress so far. I feel the density is far from where it should be. Looks like not more than 50 % of grafts have sprouted. I’m at 7,5 months now and will wait the full 12 months to to give my final judgement, but im doubting it will improve enough to be satisfactory.

It’s weird, because they are still there and have stayed at same length for months. Guess i just need to wait and see if they fall out or if they eventually start growing.. has the same happened to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much going on. As they say you see growth after 3-4 months. I am really worried. But yes I have some hairs that seem like not growing or they are growing extremely slowly. There are indeed changes in them but very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard hairgrows slower than scalp hair, so that might also be a contributing factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member SoSoz Posted October 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 @im_not_a_robot I wanted to do surgery with Dr Saifi, but now I am afraid that I will not have enough density. I have bald spots to cover on my hairline, and he estimated 2200 grafts for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should consider your options well. I would rather take a conservative doctor than a hair mill clinic in turkey. Consult with some more doctors and see what they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some areas in the temple region that lack some density, but hairs seem to still be sprouting so things may still improve. Gonna wait til 12 months and see how it looks and evaluate. Can add some pictures of donor area on next pic update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
