Regular Member Timothy Posted January 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone! hope you all are doing great, staying happy and enjoying your day. Thanks to everyone who shares their input here as HRN really is a great community with a lot of educated caring people who help and inspire many, including myself, I follow a lot of your Journey's which keeps me sane in these growing months waiting it out. Today marks the 4 month mark, I started to see growth a few weeks back and it seems to be getting more and more daily IMHO, I will just put up the pics that were all taken today. I have stopped shaving my head now and will just let it grow, it's been just over 2 weeks since my lasts #2 shave/cut. I also wanted to say I am not on any meds, just the vitamins that were provided for me, and a daily spray with Saw palmetto and some avocado oil for the donor area. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think. your opinions keep me sane in this growing time, Especially the feedback from the members who have knowledge in this process. Thank you all I appreciate it, Take care. I hope these photos suffice, they are taken with my phone with me under pot lights if that make a difference. Also I do have Avocado oil in my donnor as it was applied an hour or so ago. Thanks again have a great day!!

Regular Member Timothy Posted January 14, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) If I may I also wanted to ask if anybody knows, when I get stressed, or a cough/sneeze or a few other minor actions I seem to get a hot flash that lasts seconds but rushes up my scalp and the feeling is as pins and needles all over the recipient area, I'm guessing this will be nerves and it will work itself out. If anyone could help I'd appreciate that kindly. Edited January 14, 2023 by Timothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't take anything out of the ordinary to be honest, But for me I wish I brought Airpods so I had something to listen to during the lengthy procedure. Also i've read on hear after the fact unfortunately was to bring a button up shirt for after the procedure, I never brought one and it was a little more careful attention needed for removal of the shirt etc but this is a big plus. Id also add a neck pillow, the one they provide was a little small in my opinion so that may also be an option. Hopefully this helps, sorry I couldn't be more of a help and good luck with your surgery!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just the fourth month and your hair is already filling up the spaces. I also think the beard is blending well with the hair as well as they all look like they’re the same already. I’m happy for you Tim! Thank you for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dannyboy88 Posted January 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hi @Timothyi have been following your progress and it looks great. Glad you had a good experience with Dr Yaman. I am booked in at the start of Feb for a similar amount of grafts, very nervous but watching your progress has definitely helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member uu777 Posted February 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hi @Timothy, How's it going? Do you have any 5 month photos and updates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Timothy Posted February 15, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) So today marks the 5 Month mark, I know I have still some time to go but Im starting to see some good progress starting to take place In my opinion. Again I don't take any meds outside of vitamins. I have been letting it grow out since the end of Dec but I may go get a trim and maybe a blend on the sides but I will leave the top to grow out, I'm actually looking forward to it as I haven't been to a barber in over 20 or more years. I am still hoping and expecting more growth / coverage to come. I am staying positive this will happen as there is still months of growing ahead of me. I do hope to have some feedback to what you all think about how the growth is for entering the 5th month. I do appreciate all who can respond. Thank you and have a great day everyone.

Regular Member uu777 Posted February 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 Looks promising @Timothyand considering you’re still on the 5th month mark. What I noticed that is common in this forum is by 6 month onwards, you will see the significant growth. I’m seeing that the beard hair has blended well with your native hair. Im already excited for the update next month 😆 Thank you for the update and photos @Timothy! By the way, how’s the donor area? Can you post photos if you don’t mind, thank you again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
