3 Months
That was a quick 3 months!
As expected, there hasn't been any significant changes from month 2. I do think there has been some kind of growth though, because I certainly do not feel quite as 'exposed' as I did around weeks 6-10.
About 18 days back I got a 321 buzz again. While there, the shop was quiet and the woman who I informed about my HT was there along with another lad whom I had spoken to about my thinning before. Just after we got started, she said to that lad "do you know JohnnyDrama got a hair transplant?". Caught me off guard a little....seeing as she was one of 4 people who knew about it. He came over and I talked him through the process and growth times....in case he thought it was less than spectacular seeing as my growth phase hadn't even begun. He was fascinated....and found it hard to believe I had work done.They were even more impressed when I told them my full result wouldn't be for another 8-9 months.
As you can see by the harsher pics, my recipient is still quite sparse, but in certain lighting, it looks much fuller. As I've mentioned, redness really not an issue and hasn't been since 1 month mark. Healing has been great.
Again, I'm glad to report I've gotten to 3 months without any use of concealers.....something I thought I'd struggle with pre-ht. According to the clinics post op instructions, swimming in chlorinated water can resume at 3 months and that's something I'm really looking forward to doing again. It's amazing the things my hair loss held me back from in recent years.....and avoiding getting my hair was contributed hugely in me avoiding all forms of swimming.
They say the first 3 months is the toughest, and I can fully understand why. There were certain social events I may have dodged over the last few months, but for the most part.....it hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be.
Here's hoping my 4 month update just before xmas has a few more of these guys sprouting!
