Is my hair transplant any good?

[jimbob1966]

ok at 4 months, i'm quite disapointed with how things are going so far to be honest, i know I should be patient etc, but I was expecting quite a bit more growth at this stage.

Different hairs seem to be cycling at different times, like some of the hair that's grown for a few months has fallen out, i'm hoping that it will regrow again... :s

Anyway i've attached wet pics combed back, I'd like to know your thoughts...

4 months is really the point many guys just start to see some growth. The 4 to 6 month mark is when things really start to come in and usually continue up to 12 months or so. Your skin looks very good at this point and it does appear that you have some early growth. It looks like you are on track.

Good points Winston. And I agree that at four months post-op, Jimbob's progress is typical and improving with time.

Jimbob, I noticed the improvement in the healing of your recipient areas, far less post-op redness, and there is more growth in both temporal lobe areas.

Just wait until you hit the six month mark, another huge difference in growth. You'll see.

What happens to those of us as HT patients is that we are looking in the mirror throughout each day and we notice the progress less than those of us who see your pics at 30 month intervals. We all can relate to what you are experiencing Jimbob.

Looking forward to more pics with time passing and more growth!

think it's time to face facts that i am one of the unfortunate people that a hair transplant didn't work too well for me.

6 months down the line and the area nearest the hairline hasn't seemed to grow in at all, the growth at the front is really crap, i knew it wouldn't be no where as thick as my natural hair, but 2,400 FUE is quite a bit of hair, i thought it would make alot more growth than it has.

No it isn't.

You still have another six to twelve months to go before you will know.

Your hair looks a lot better than it did before. I am quite surprised that you can't see that.

It is far more noticable if we do not look in the mirror every day, looking for the slightest changes.

I agree. You are only six months post-op. Things will improve.

Can't really see much change, still not much growing on the left side of my scalp compared to the right, still not much growth nearest the hairline...

I think its looking pretty good. Seems like each month you have a little more hair.
