Senior Member civic Posted November 27, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2022 5 Month Update. It’s raining & very cold in my city so we back to bathroom pics for now😎 things are progressing , if you zoom in to my hairline, the right side softened up & looks natural. I hope the left side also catches up soon, cause it looks a bit linear , perhaps not all grafts sprouted yet. Mid scalp & crown filling in, hoping for density to come thru in the next few months. Considering i was bald af, i am very happy how i look now, also, i have high contrast, my hair is very dark but scalp is very white, so contrast is not on my side😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growth I think midscalp & crown takes a bit longer to get density, will see how it goes in next few months, also lighting is rather bright in that room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member civic Posted November 28, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2022 This is a top view pic i took today in normal day light condition in room, goes to show how lighting is a very big factor on how our hts look👍 Melvin also mentioned several times that if you put anyone who had ht under harsh light, you will see thru scalp more. Next update at 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted November 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2022 You are in the period when it usually really kicks in, so hopefully the next month will give you a nice improvement. I do think you will need a second pass to get good density, but with where you were at the start I think 2 sessions has to be expected. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

I looked at several cases here including captaincalisto, if you look at his 1st surgery 5 month, it looks pretty similar. He has several photos of 5 month mark.

Yeah I wasn't trying to say you are in a bad spot. I think you are looking good for 5 months and it will certainly get a lot better in the next couple of months. But with that said, almost everyone who is at your level of baldness goes back for another pass to add density, so it makes sense to plan on that. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted February 20, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 20, 2023 Yeah, this is a giant leap from where you started! And you’ve still got some months of growth to look forward to and then even more months of maturation. Really really nice improvement here.👌🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member civic Posted March 22, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hello guys, quick almost 9 month update. I just took these pics from work hallway, so this is how it looks indoors, very happy at continued progress. There is no hair fibers nor any product, all natural , as is😎 the side where i part my hair , under direct light(last pic) is still awaiting thickening, but again, i really think Dr V did great work , considering my roof was completely gone, with only 5k grafts for NW6 with high contrast (pale scalp/dark hair), yet he managed to pull it off nicely. I will keep updating as months go by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member civic Posted May 14, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hey guys, Almost at 11 months, i took these photos outside today for this update, no product of any kind on hair, as is. For the 12 month update i will include indoor & outdoor view of ht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 15, 2023 Moderators Share Posted May 15, 2023 This looks pretty good for one transplant from where you were. I wonder if it might look better with your hair a bit shorter. I think it would possibly look cleaner without your long curly hair all over the place. If you can get a 2nd pass to add some density all over I think this could turn out to be a homerun result. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
