Fuecap Dr. Dogan Turan 2,697 grafts

Hello!

I just want to share with you guys my hair transplant and also just want to ask your opinion on it.

Brief background of me.

-33 years old
-hair loss started at age 19
-NWIII
-have been taking 1mg finasteride for 2 years
-used to take tropical minoxidil for 5 years and stop before hair transplant and haven’t take it since then

At first I am happy with the hair transplant procedure, I was healing very fast, at day 7 all my scabs are gone.
At 1st month the shedding hasn't started yet. So I was hoping I am one of the very very lucky ones that did not experience shedding. Lol
Then at 5th week the shedding started and continue until month 2.  
At 3rd month still at ugly duckling stage.
At 4th month I can see little growth, hair starting to go out but still at ugly duckling stage.
Now at 5th month there is some growth but I am a little bit concern about the density. Though I know every one is different but I see a lot of people at month 5 with very dense hair. I don’t know if I am a slow grower. I just want to know your opinion guys. Attached are the pictures from surgery day up to present day. Thank you.

It's a little strange you shed so much 3 months in and after 5 months the density is still very weak. Did you contact the clinic? I'm one month in from Dr Turan and I've not shed much at all so far. Hopefully you will start to accelerate soon!

At 3rd month I send them my pictures and they said that everything looks right on track. But I am bit worried because of the slow progression, I was expecting that around 4-5 months I will see big difference. Now approaching 6 months still the density is still weak. I am really hoping that I will accelerate soon.  

Same with you at 1 month I did not shed at all, then at 5th week shedding starts and almost all the transplanted hair shed. Goodluck on your journey!

Everyone’s growths differs from person to person. You’re still early in your journey and it looks like growth is starting to happen. Fingers crossed you see a big change from here to month 8

[Xhant]

Hoping and praying for that big change.

My hair transplant from Dr. Turan turned out great. However, I would recommend microneedling if you want to see faster progress. @Xhant

[Xhant]

I’ve seen your 6 months result and its great!!! Hoping I will have the same result in a few months.

It looks about right for 5 months. Update us again in another month so we can see the progress.

be good to see an update, that month 4-5 was something else. 

[Xhant]

Sure I will give an update next month.

Looks normal for 5 months honestly.
Maybe you lag behind a little slower (by a month), but this is still common.
I wouldn't worry at all.

You look like where I was at 4 months;
