The reason I sometimes feel it was a mistake is that, while I hated losing my hair, once it was mostly gone there is a certain peace to being bald or in my case mostly bald. Perhaps getting a HT is opening that can of worms again. Ultimately I went through with it because I had an appointment scheduled last year and canceled it but found myself thinking if I had just went through with it the results would be in now.

Thought I'd update this thread. So I got a haircut last week and everything is even now, so no longer where a hat around. Hair on the sides is probably a 3-4 guard length although it was done with scissors so can't be sure. There is piece where the scar is visible but you'd have to be looking for it or know what it is to recognize it so I'm not that worried. Starting to see a little growth on top. Feel like I'm mostly out of the "ugly duckling" phase as I look pretty much the same as before my HT so I'm fine walking in my current state.

Hi,

A little over 3.5 months here. Growth has definitely started. The photo is taken in a little less harsh light than the others so may seem a little better than it is.



Few things I've been thinking at this stage. I didn't really anticipate what I'd do if people noticed a change. My friend recently asked me "are you growing hair". I kinda got weird and said "I don't think so" but I'm going to go back and tell him the truth, just wasn't prepared at the time. Also I saw my old boss the other day and he kept looking at me. I'm wondering if he noticed. Oh well I don't really care that much because it doesn't seem to look unnatural. I did a mega session with close to 5000 grafts but at this point I'm starting to wonder if I could do it over maybe I'd do less so the change isn't so drastic and won't draw as much attention to me. That's it for now, I'll probably update again in a month or so.

It's looking good.

Do you have any photos of the back and crown?

Thanks for the update. Your results so far look unbelievably natural. Good growth in a short amount of time. Given how you are growing, someone would probably need to know you quite personally to notice your transition. If there is anyone who notices that you wouldn't want to know exactly what you did, you could always tell them you started taking Finasteride to try and thicken your hair up (which is actually true). I'm sure the months ahead you will have a better understanding why you didn't cancel this one. Please keep us posted, you have an interesting case. Happy growin!

Now this is what I call a hair transplant!

One photo is under harsh direct light the other isn't. I started on proscar 5 months ago as well and have upped to the full dose in about the last 2 months. At this point I feel like things are looking good, strange to think more is on the way. I can't say I have any regrets at this point.
