Just curious to see his end result with you. I'm only two week post surgery so am far from the end result! Im waiting for details and pictures, then I'd planned to start a thread on it. Its looking pretty promising so far..but just waiting for the dreaded shedding! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted August 16, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2023 One month update: The ugly duckling stage started over a week ago and still quite a bit of redness. Cut it with the clippers for the first time with a 3 guard (seems more like a 2 though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Hairwolf Posted September 13, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) At the 2 month stage now and the much lamented ugly duckling stage. Basically back to baseline and the redness has faded a bit, but looks worse depending on lighting so took some pics in different lighting just for contrast. Think there may be some signs of early growth and can see where the grafts are embedded under the skin. Also a few spots on the hairline which can be seen in the pic- a good sign apparently- touch wood. just waiting for the growth to kick in here, needless to say, but I’m keeping myself busy with work an all.

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted October 13, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2023 3 month update. Started noticing the growth kicking in about 2 weeks ago. Buzzed it down to a 3 guard just over a week ago. Pics taken in different lighting and angles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted November 22, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Pics taken just after the 4 month mark and in different lighting. Again shaved the head to a 3 guard all over bit less than 2 weeks ago. Might do a 7 guard on top and 3 on the side next time. Hairline has filled in a bit on one side I believe but still hoping for more thickening in the coming months.

Regular Member Cooper48 Posted November 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2023 Nice, you're getting some good growth! Big change from month 3. I'll bet you will see a ton more in the next couple months. It's going to look great! My journey.

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted November 22, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hi Cooper, Cheers-yes slowly but surely I suppose. Think I’ll let it grow out a bit and take a few more pics next month. how’s it going yourself btw? Still in ugly duckling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cooper48 Posted November 23, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 23, 2023 Yeah, I'm right in the thick of it at 2 months. Hoping to see something start soon. It's great to see your pictures. Really helps to keep the spirits up even though I am confident. Fun to see all the success of the Laorwong patients. 1 My journey.

Regular Member Cooper48 Posted December 14, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2023 Everything is filling in nicely! Seems like you have enough density to easily grow your hair out. Many more months of growing left too! My journey.

Regular Member hockeyman Posted December 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2023 Wow! Your hair is looking great including the donor area. Did the doctor mention how many grafts you have in reserve if you decide to go for another procedure in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dr didn’t state specifically how many grafts I had left but I asked him about my donor quality and so on and he did a quick look with a microscope and said I had lots of doubles and triples and medium thickness hair. I then asked so I have enough for another procedure? Said ‘no problem’. I am going for the 2nd next year midscalp and crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that second surgery will give you a full head of hair given how well this one is growing 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that many clinics- perhaps due to my lack of photography skills said my donor was on the weaker side and I was sure I would need BHT and so on.

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted January 17 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 17 (edited) Some pics now at 6 months.

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted January 17 Regular Member Share Posted January 17 Looking great - like the design and it appears you've had good growth, especially on the hairline. Sure it'll look great when you've grown it out a little, though understand you waiting until after the crown surgery for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I asked the Dr when designing the hairline not to make it too even or symmetrical for naturalness. Frizzes up a bit on one side though (or seems to) Been so long I forgot I actually did have wavy hair before lol! Yeah not really growing it out now cos there’s too much of a contrast between front and back really. Just have to wait till next summer for the 2nd.

Regular Member Cooper48 Posted January 17 Regular Member Share Posted January 17 Looks great. Definitely filled out over the last month. I think that wavy hair helps a lot with density. You have to love seeing a good outcome in the mirror. Once you you get the crown no one will ever know you were losing your hair. Happy growing! My journey.
