6 months post op. Am I on track?

[deane95]

Hi all. 

It's exactly 6 months post op for me tomorrow and would like to get some opinions on whether I am on the right track or whether I am behind in growth or should be worried. I had roughly 1500 grafts implanted. 

Thanks!

It's not bad but the density could be better, you should wait until 9th month and then assess your situation, hair will mature until then and the visual coverage will be better for sure. Who was the surgeon?

Yeah the density is what bothers me most. Just hoping more grafts come through and thicken/darken. The surgeon was Dr Ahmed Saaed at Fortes Clinic in London

Imo You are on track at 6 months...you are just at half way mark and you still got many more months in the bank for more growth and density..Happy growing and keep updating brother ..

Right now you really just can´t tell. You have to wait another 6 months and then reasess. If itstays like this then definately this is not a good result.

Looks about right for 1500k grafts 

The hairs will thicken and look better. There might be new hairs popping up too

[deane95]

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'm going to keep a positive outlook on it and give an update in a few months time. Hopefully it all works out well.

How are you doing at 8 months?

Safe to say it has been a failed transplant. Looks almost identical to 2 months ago unfortunately. Already looking at clinics for a repair/second hair transplant

@deane95 have you got any recent photos

[consequence]

Can we see some pics?

I don't think any reputable clinic will even consider you before a year.

[deane95]

These were taken earlier today. The light is harsher than it was in my previous pics, but it somehow looks like it's got worse 😂😭

Yeah, i'm just researching some clinics right now and won't try and book a consultation until maybe 11 months in

Dr Ahmad Saaed at Fortes Clinic in London. Should've done a lot more research and wished I found this forum before I had it done. Just need to make sure I don't make the same mistake next time 🤷‍♂️

As I'm sure you're aware mate this isn't a good result, and despite possible improvements over the next 6, I can't see you being where you want to be.

Good new is your hair looks thick, and it shouldn't take too many to fix and get you a great hairline.

Only go to one of the best this time around (Bisanga, Couto, Ahmad probably out of your price range, Pekiner) etc and you should be fine.

All the best

Yeah luckily my donor area still has plenty of grafts left also. Just need to choose a decent enough doctor next time. Have you an opinion on Dr Mani Mittal in London? Seen a few posts on here that look like good work and is also a recommended surgeon on here.
