3 months post-op

Hello everyone, I am now 3 months post-op from my HT. I have seen no notable changes as of yet. I am starting to regain complete sensation around the donor area and I am still noticing pimples on the recipient area. Sometimes I feel what's like a "pins and needles" sensation in the recipient area (no real pain though). During my haircut last week, my stylist said that she noticed small, thin hairs beginning to grow in the recipient area. She said that she felt that my hair had gotten thicker since my last haircut 5 weeks before. But anyway, I am posting some pics of my head, these pictures are from my hair unshowered and after wearing a hat all day today. Thanks for reading, I am hoping the first 3 months have taken the longest and maybe I will start to see some growth soon.

Hairlost thanks for keeping us all posted mate, too many people disappear when they have got what they wanted so I hope u keep posting once a month until the 12 month mark.

Ok now some good news... Imo(from someone who has had 4 hts in 3 years) you are now through the hardest part. Anytime around week 14-17 u start seeing some serious growth and it keeps getting better until month 6 and there is more slow progress until the 12 month mark. Well at least that's what it was like for me all four times and it's what iv seen on other people as well although it's not always the same for everyone

I started this journey at the age of 27 with 600 grats, biggest mistake of my life even though I have a full head of year. Like me, you should also be a little worried and catious about the future because u will lose a lot more. Hope ur on the meds and keep researching on the forums in case ur loss gets worse and u need to make some quick decisions

Best of luck... The fun starts around about now

Hey thanks man. I am taking meds and I feel I am in the hands of a great doctor. I hope I start seeing some growth. I'm getting very excited.

Just hang in there, you're on your way to having more hair!

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..

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.

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!

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...

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!

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.
