Senior Member Britanium Posted March 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 6 months is the half way point for most of us. So you still have at least another 6 months for it to improve, this is the normal time line. Keep us updated every month and we can evaluate it with you. It’s clear you already have growth, it should continue. 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member asterix0 Posted March 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 I would expect better growth at this point, but it is still early. You may be a late bloomer, but I understand why you are concerned. With that many grafts you should be much better along at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member thetdog666 Posted March 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 how long have you been taking dut and fin together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Loic75300 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) It was the doctor who advised me to alternate dutasteride and finasteride, every other day Edited March 6, 2022 by Loic75300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Hayden87 Posted March 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 Do you have any post-op photos that show the graft placement? It's impossible to adequately judge how you are coming along without seeing how many grafts were planted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Leb_Guy Posted March 8, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 8, 2022 6 months is still half way. I had good growth within 6 months with Dr. Koray and was on fin everyday. Just little tips that worked for me Let your hair grow longer in length for a couple of months and you should feel a difference in coverage since you hair is 66 micron (better than mine 59 micron). Use regaine foam twice a day if you can to stimulate faster growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ITA Posted March 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2022 @Loic75300wait another two months before you start worrying, as someone said, you might be a late grower, did the clinic tell you to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gramatik Posted March 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2022 You will have to wait until 12 months. Then if you are not happy contact @ASMEDMANUALFUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BaldTruth Posted March 22, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 I think most of us would have expected more growth by 6.5 months than we can see in the pictures you provided. The pictures appear to show mid scalp being a little worse off than before. And that is difficult to explain. There is some growth at the front, but for 5064 grafts, I think it should have been more pronounced. Do you take finasteride and/or use minoxidil? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Loic75300 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 I take finasteride and dutasteride (alternating) dutasteride is 10 times stronger than fina. I stopped minoxidil before the operation, I had been taking it for more than 10 years. With the agreement of the clinic I stopped it definitively. Faced with the slow regrowth, I have been taking it back for 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faced with the slow regrowth, I have been taking it back for 2 weeks. the stoppage of minoxidil might be the reason why your lost hair in areas where you had previously. How long before the hair transplant did you hop off minoxidil? If you stopped minoxidil just a few days before the hair transplant the hairs that were reliant on the minoxidil would of disappeared a couple/few weeks after the hair transplant. Those hair follicles reliant on minoxidil would of just fallen off. I would think about going back on oral minoxidil or topical minoxidil at this point.

Regular Member Loic75300 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) I had stopped a month before as indicated in their email. I'm taking it back topically, hoping it's not too late Edited March 22, 2022 by Loic75300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted March 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 23, 2022 When I first started reading your thread, I was like wow 5000+ in one sitting. This guy will have great coverage all in one surgery. As I see your recent photos, it reiterates to me why time and time again, most top level clinics will want you to divide large coverage areas into multiple procedure. If some thing fails, you are not out by 5000 grafts and you can go back to the drawing board. having said that, you are still early and according to Melvin there are late bloomers so you may be one of them. Unfortunately besides trying to focus on something else (work gym etc) there is not much you can do right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
