Regular Member Boomerang Posted July 24, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi everyone Sharing 5 months update. I am happy with how donor has healed and the growth at 5 months. Left side of crown is bit light and slow in growth, once that is filled up I will be pretty happy. Overall I am feeling hopeful and excited for coming months thanks for all the support Cheers ps: these are indoor pics with open windows and decent lights. But i must say in outdoor lights coverage looks lighter than this, which I am hoping will improve in upcoming months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 19, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 19, 2022 @Boomerang that's a massive change at month 7 from month 5! It's really taking shape now and you still have a lot of growth to come ahead of you. 👌 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really taking shape now and you still have a lot of growth to come ahead of you. 👌 I can feel more sprouting coming through. So I am hoping that results will look better when transplanted hair early growers, late growers and pre-existing hair reach the even length in coming months. So from that perspective things are definitely looking promising. thank you and all the best to you as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Z-- Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Looks great. Very happy to see that it was shock loss instead of over harvesting; hopefully this gives some hope for people whose donor looks weaker post-surgery and gives them the patience to wait until a bit before deeming it over harvesting. Also good to see Eugenix reassure you during the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Your crown has many more months left to improve How short are you able to keep your hair? Maybe a number 4 guard on trimmer for a cleaner look? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Bb111 Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Agree with others, overall things are definitely improving and looking better day by day. I think you crown will get more full over the next few months. I am looking forward to your next update. 1 My hair transplant journey: Eugenix July 18/19 with Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal 3811 Grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also good to see Eugenix reassure you during the process. Definitely. I had two failed procedures before this one, that’s why I believe I was always sceptical somewhere in my mind. Then you know little miscommunication triggered the panic. things are definitely improving, slowly compared to many but hopefully will get there.

I don’t know if it is just me or with others as well but I am little bit hesitant to go too short in case they look too thin? Maybe as results mature I can try shorter. for these updates I try to take worst photos to show what it actually is. I think it looks slightly better when I style my hair. Still trying to get used to of managing them, some days they look better than other days, maybe it’s the light and sebum etc. Thanks and good luck to you too.

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 It looks like you used some beard hair based on the original pictures? Odd that they took it from the sideburn area, why did they go for that patch as opposed to under the chin or a similarly less visible area? Thank!

Thanks for being honest with the pictures taken. There is no point trying to impress strangers online by something that looks completely different than real life Your donor area is very thick compared to how the top looks, so a haircut is a must. Nothing short, as I said a number 4 guard is extremely clean and smart Also thanks for the good luck, very kind of you to remember that I myself am also on the journey (soon 5 months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank! thanks Goligoligoli My sideburn area was quite thick, around 200 grafts from each sideburn were used. I think they were used for temples (could be wrong). To be honest, it is completely invisible from where they were extracted (unless of course if someone knows and goes looking). if I think about it now, I think it was a good idea coz did suffer donor area shock loss and that could have been worse if sideburn hair weren’t used (maybe or maybe not). some hair from under the chin area were also extracted and used in the FUT scar only. Again no one has been able to tell, it has healed so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NARMAK Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Your donor area in those images in the latest update at that hair length looks vastly improved compared yo even month 5 and hopefully if you get the hair cut shorter it will still look great. Your case was definitely something that i think was at first appearance a cause for concern but i'm really happy that it did genuinely turn out to be a positive outcome and not the worst. Good luck and happy growing OP, the crown definitely seems to take longer in some and up to 18 months. This is definitely a journey that takes a lot of patience. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Definitely it’s a real test of patience. My hairline has thickened up a lot since month 5. That give me confidence about top and crown since growth starts from hairline going back (just like hairloss). So definitely looking fed to coming months. happy growing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Boomerang Posted September 21, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2022 Took Ryan’s advise and got a fresh haircut today. I thought i share Donor seems to have healed well. also I like to mention that I asked for high hairline coz I wanted to utilise grafts to add density on top and crown (just to give you perspective when you see pics). My right side has shown better growth than left. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
