I sure hope so I guess I’m a slow grower

HAve you sent the pics to the surgeon, and if so, what does he say?

No not yet because I’m barely at 6 months most doctors will say to wait a full year

For what’s it’s worth I still feel a lot of stubble on my hairline indicating to me that’s there’s still a good amount of grafts barely growing in 

[Dillpickle123]

Haircut update! I finally cut my hair low and got my old haircut which is a zero fade on the side and left it long on top  donor looks very good left bottom side is visible but I could always get smp there the dr Mwambas extractions are very clean and are almost impossible to tell if you don’t know what to look for still have a lot of stubble hairs in the temples that haven’t grown in length just need to be patient so far happy with result as I can pull off my hairline with just a dab of fibers 

[Dillpickle123]

More pictures of donor fue isn’t a scarless procedure and white dot scars are more then expected at a zero guard length 

[HHH]

You could probably get SMP with a great artist that could make them unnoticeable tbh buddy

@Dillpickle123 can you comment on the circled area in the attached photo? Are you seeing subtle signs of growth here, how confident are you, etc?

I am a former Mwamba patient too and this area is lacking for me as well 🤷‍♂️

I feel a bunch of stubble still for some reason on my temples like hairs that don’t grow longer they’re probably just still dormant

This area may be visually lacking the most because usually temples have a bigger area without native hair at all so it's harder to fill them - in comparison in the middle of a head usually people receed slower and a supbar growth rate is not so recognizable there because native hair (behind transplanted hair) prevent that sparse look.

I've seen this in many Mwamba's cases from the past, for example the left temple here:

or this case:

I sure hope it fills in although that was my weaker side pre transplant the left looks pretty good

If you are using hair fibers in those pictures then it explains why this area might look worse than the rest.

In general hair will mature and get longer so skin coverage will be greater and hence visual effect will get better for sure. Although after 7 months most grafts will pop out, so if at that stage there are significantly less grafts visible in comparison to the number that was implanted then there is a high chance that something went wrong. Can you see thin hair popping out?

Yea there’s thin hair popping out hence why I feel a bunch of stubble on both sides think I’m just a slow grower in a few weeks I’ll reach my 7 months I will update the thread with pictures of the hairline this update was just to check the scarring as if you see in my previous pics my hair was extremely long

7 Month update?

[Dillpickle123]

7 month update 
 

Hey guys heres my update starting to look decent still for some reason feel a bunch of stubble hairs that are “stuck” they don’t seem to grow I still use fibers day to day but these pictures are fresh out of the shower no fibers as you can see under bright light and under normal light I think it looks pretty decent I hope I get more growth though as it looks rather thin without fibers but I love the hairline design a lot and if any further work is needed it y would just be to fill in the gaps donor is completely undetectable after 4-5 days after zero guard fade would probably want to get the donor addressed some day maybe verteporfin becomes a thing 🤞 we use for that but donor healed perfect and no signs of surgery unless you have a keen eye

I had the same stalled hairs also with Mwamba. Unsure what the significance is.

Yea I wonder what the science is behind it they’re not dead but they aren’t growing??

[knivesout09]

Not sure. Mine would come out very easily. I had quite poor yield so unsure if they were grafts that had dried out.

ughh I've been hearing this alot from Mwamba patients lately 😪

Is there a specific reason you think yield may have been poor?

I agree unfortunately.

I wonder if the grafts were out too long. We didn't finish till like 2-3am.

Could have also been surgical error - I have cobblestoning.

do you mean 2-3pm?

I think most surgeries take until 4-5pm.

No am - as in the morning!
