THE TRUTH Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Left side came in pretty good. Right side didn't grew in as well and I agree it's quite thin. You will most likely need a touch-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 3, 2022 Administrators Share Posted June 3, 2022 It’s normal for one side to lag behind. Hair follicles are independent, they grow at different times. There is still time for it to grow more and mature. It’s best to wait the full 12 months before casting judgement.

Senior Member splitting hairs Posted June 4, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 4, 2022 Do you have any pre-op photos? Remember that a hair transplant is an illusion of density. Wait the full 12 months and if needed, a touch up of a few hundred grafts can be done. _________________________________________________ Propecia since July 2008 2201 Grafts with Dr Lorenzo on 19.10.22 - See my write up here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be going to see Rahal in person soon but just was hoping to set realistic expectations for myself while waiting for the appointment date. Is it common to see significant changes from month 10-12 from where im at in the picture? Understandably it seems most people think im going to need to have more work done which I'm really hoping to avoid. It's definitely possible that you'll still see significant improvement, so all you can do in that regard is wait and hope for the best. However, it also seems to me like the issues aren't nearly as noticeable when you're not pulling your hair back and deliberately exposing the hairline. That's that plus side of having your hair type, as it can be quite forgiving in terms of looking even more dense than it may actually be. It's good you have a followup appointment with your surgeon, so hopefully seeing him in person will help put things into perspective and he can give you some guidance. And if you do need a followup procedure in the future, just remember that getting a minimum of two procedures is the rule and not the exception - so don't let it dishearten you too much. Hopefully it doesn't come to that anytime soon though. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
