So I am now 14 weeks from my HT. When I rub my fingers across the recipient area, it feels very similar to how my hair felt 1-2 weeks after the HT procedure before all the donor hairs fell out. I feel like this is a great sign of impending growth in my balding areas and am starting to get really excited. Anyone else first notice this when their recipient area started to grow?

Oh yeah, I know the feeling from all four of my procedures. My hair has a fair degree of coarseness so whenever regrowth started, it felt like facial stubble when your facial hair grows in after a clean shave.

The transplanted follicles will emerge on a intermittent basis so that is why it takes up to 12-18 months to see the full visual impact of the procedure. This includes full caliber maturation.

Hey friend, the best is yet to come. You will be amazed at the transformation!

Best wishes to you and thanks for the pics..

Default 3.5 months post OP

Hey everyone, I'm now 3.5 months post op. My family was over and said they have noticed a significant change in the quality of my hair. My brother said he even noticed some growth. He took a picture and I wanted to share and see if anyone else felt the same way as my family. I think the picture shows a pretty nice improvement for 3.5 months. Thanks for reading everyone.

Default 4 months post-op

Hey everyone. Just wanted to post a pic of my HT 4 months post-op. I will post more later, but I am extremely busy and took this quick snapshot while I was at work. I think things are coming along nicely, I am fairly optimistic at this point and am hoping for the best. The picture is taken under light so that you can still see through to my scalp. Thanks for any comments or encouragement. This feels like it is taking FOREVER!

Default More 4 month post op pics

Hello, so here are a few more photos taking 4 months post op. The hairs that are growing are thin and I am hoping they thicken up soon so that I will have some coverage over my scalp.

It's just the beginning. Give it a couple of more months...

Default 5 Months Post Op

Hey everyone, I am now 3 days shy of 5 months post op. I feel like the hair is slowly but surely gaining some density and I am starting to feel much better about my hair. I'm hoping over the next few months I start seeing some increased density and coverage over my scalp. Thanks to everyone

This are really looking good at this point. In a few months I think there will be a huge difference from your pre-op photos. Thanks for keeping us posted!

Default 6 months post op

Hello to everyone. I am now a few days shy of 6 months post op. I can't believe it has been this long. I am posting some pictures that I took tonight from varying angles, so you can get a good look at how my HT is progressing. I took some pics directly under light so that you will be able to see clearly. In some areas, the transplanted hair is still thin and hasn't reached full potential. Because it is still thin, you can see through to the scalp under bright light. As of now I am pretty happy with what I have. I am hoping that it continues to progress over the next few months. I welcome any comments or questions on the work of my HT surgeon. Thanks everyone.

Hairlost,

Definitely an imnpovement from last month. I am looking forward to your 9 month post-op pics.

Remember, as the hair shaft diameter develops (caliber), the illusion of coverage will improve much more.

More than anything you are experiencing more new growth at the present time. Congrats again.
