Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted December 20, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2022 Are you any supplements to try and speed up hair growth? Msm, silica, etc might help with getting some length quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see little stubble in the bald spot, so hopefully within the next 2 weeks toppik is more effective. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted February 15, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm coming up on 3 months, still looking worse that pre-op. Biggest issue is a bald spot in the front which makes the use of Dermmatch and Toppik challenging. I started oral minoxidil about 2 weeks ago, so hopefully that helps. The below pics were taken over the last week or so in varying lighting. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Chetman2112 Posted February 15, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2023 I’m at 3 months myself from my surgery with Dr Nadimi and the growth for me has really started over this last week, my hairline is filling in nicely, I’m definitely in better shape than my pre surgery, you should start seeing some results very shortly.

Appreciate the encouraging words Chetman. You've got a very optimistic attitude, which i'm sure was helpful throughout the ugly duckling phase. Hopefully my growth starts coming in this next week as well (i believe our surgeries were in the same week). 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang in there man, seriously When it happens it happens very quickly, in the last two weeks my whole hairline has filled in, don’t stress it you went to one of the absolute best in the world and I’m willing to bet in a few years Dr Nadimi’s wait list will be a couple years out, she’s amazing, don’t stress growth is around the corner!

Thanks Chet! Also, you might want to add a link to your thread in your signature. I was just looking for your thread to see your progress but couldn't find it.

Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted March 17, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 17, 2023 Around 4 months update--i think still a bit below baseline. Hard to see in the pictures, but there does seem to be quit a lot of vellous, colorless hairs in the hairline. Once they thicken up it should provide a cosmetic boost. I brush them/the area with Dermmatch before going out socially and seems fine. I've also noticed an increase in under eye bags--which i think might be related to the oral minoxidil. I'm planning to drop this from the routine for a while to see if those resolve. Has anyone else had a similar side effect? 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member FUT4000 Posted April 17, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 17, 2023 Looks great! What do you mean by styling with rogaine foam, Is it almost like a mousse? I'm using liquid which makes the hair look more wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
