    I had 2 years ago a HT with GHO. Biggest part started to grow after 8 months.
    One of the toughest things about hair restoration surgery is patiently waiting for the hair to grow and produce acceptable coverage. It's tough for patients and it's frustrating for me as well. I have lost count of the number of hair restoration surgeries I've had since I was 27 years old. I believe it's around eleven. I really hated losing my hair and that's why I can relate to guys in their early 20's asking why they have to wait until they're 29 to restore their hair. I would be a slick Norwood 6 if it weren't for the grafts. I always have a little anxiety related to growth, but it has always grown. Even the early surgeries that later had to be repaired because my hair didn't look natural. Six months ago, I had 500 beard grafts placed into two stubborn areas on top of my head. It seems like it has taken forever for it to grow, but it is growing. I also have a tendency to be too careful with the scabs/crusts even at day 12.

    I am hoping this is just the 2/3 of the hairs and I will have more density like you say Gillenator

    Fingers + toes all crossed
    I do not ever gamble but if I did, I would bet the farm that you have more coming!

    IMHO, you definitely have more regrowth coming. On average at six months post-op, about two-thirds of the regrowth has occurred.

    There are still some follicles waiting to sprout and the speed of the growth varies as well.

    Just an update as I am reaching 6 months after HT in a few days.
    I will upload a new picture tonight or tomorrow and from what I can see I am about 99% happy with having an HT in terms of natural look improvement etc.
    However at this point I am only 60% happy with the density but this might well be to do with human nature getting greedier with whatever he/she is given !!

    At the end of the day I have had 4000 grafts to a NW6 area and had to leave the crown untouched due to lack of grafts .

    I know the story about yield results changing from person to person and it longing up to a year or even longer SO ,
    My question to the FUE veterans ;

    REALISTICLY !! Should I expect any more new hairs coming from under the scalp or would this be pretty much it ?

    Also I have been keeping an eye on this 1 particular hair graft on my hairline which seems to be growing a mm a month or so . Its a nice thick graft of hair but doesnt seem to grow as fast as others around .
    Can anybody think of an explanation as to why this is happening ?

    I dont know about Vinny , but mine cost $3 per graft. There is a guy in colorado who charges $2 per graft now.

    Hopefully one day it will be $1 and even .50 cents per graft with mechanical punch grafts to cut down on labor.

    Although facial hair is primarily established with single hair FUs, the caliber is almost always more coarse providing excellent visual coverage.

    Will be sharing a picture soon .

    Kundun , they are not great english speakers . Thats the main reason Dr Doganay himself asked me to work for him in order to act as a uk/europe representative as I am based in the uk myself .

    If anyone on here thinking of a fue with the doctor and finding the language barrier an issue . Feel free to drop me a line at schakax@hotmail.com

    Wow Vinny that looks great !!!! I am almost at the 3 month mark and I am starting to see the smallest little sprouts poke through !!! I can see it best with the natural light . Under light bulbs they become invisible again

    I am taking pics once a month , then at 6 months am going to put them all up.

    Before hair transplant, then surgery, post op, one month two etc....

    Keep posting pics !!! They inspire the rest of us !!!
