jr1407 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Hey HTN community! I recently had a 2700 graft FUE done on January 6th 2023 (crown and hairline) by Dr. Jerry Wong. This is my second HT, first one was 1800 FUE in 2015 with Dr. Rahal. I'm one month out and I'm patiently waiting to for my hair to grow. I've noticed that there are small hair grafts growing in the transplanted area, I know it's early but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm if these are early signs of new hair growth? I also experienced some shock loss which you can see in the photos, so the follicles could be those hairs coming back. Cheers!

Some very lucky people don't shed their grafts at all and so do get growth from day 1. I had quite a few survive. At 6 weeks a previously bald area looked like this: You can see some have tiger stripes (they just continued to grow) and others have already started to grow, albeit without pigment and/or thin. Hopefully you'll be one of the lucky few too! Edited February 8, 2023 by BackFromTheBrink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Henry Posted February 9, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2023 Who decided this pattern to put the grafts on? You or Dr. Wong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BurnieBurns Posted February 9, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2023 I do spy a few early transplanted grafts growing. I believe a can tell from the diameter of the hairs All the best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've moved across the country since then so H&W was closer. Rahal did a great job, would recommend him for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind posting a photo of your hair pre transplant with dr.wong so that maybe I'd have an idea on why he decided this pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro_Man Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Looks good. You say the first was in 2015, is there a particular reason why you had to get a second HT? Is it because you are not on meds? I would prefer to not take finasteride or minoxidil if it means having another HT 7 years later. So, I am curious to know what prompted yours. Also, please how much did it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
