    thanks for the reply. I've been struggling to find anyone with approx. 1600 grafts in the crown region so I'm definitely interested in watching your progress as well. Everything I've read and seen though -- 7 months is about when it becomes "noticeable" that things are growing in. I think some major changes occur in the 9th month range, and then pretty good idea of final result at 12 months. crown grows in slower also. you still have plenty of time man, don't get frustrated. It looking good for 6 months IMO.

    Nearing in on 4 months. no progress so far. Just writing to let everyone know i'll continue to do followups. I still expect to see my first decent results around the 7 month mark, so just patiently waiting...

    Actually, I should provide an update on the scar. The scar ridge is definitely getting smaller. my girlfriend said it looks much better too. Its still visible if you know what to look for and I tilt my head, but overall, must better. I would expect after 6-8 months it will probably no longer be visible

    Default 5 months -- some progress

    Hey all -- So I'm about at my 5 month mark. I had my 4 month followup with the surgeon last month who took a new set of photos. The verdict was that I had a bit of shock-loss. Realistically I was probably a bit thinner before going in; however, he said he could see the hair starting to come through the scalp and my results are pretty much about what he expected. I knew most of this ahead of time, so I wasn't worried. I know the 7-9 months tell more of the whole story.

    However -- I'm pleased to say that hitting my 5 month mark, I can finally see some results! There are some very thin, "stringy" type hairs. a lot of them are a bit curley-cue. The new hairs don't quite behave like my other hairs yet... but I know that's how it starts. I can see my new hairline starting to form, and I can see some fullness starting to come in.

    Photos below -- i'll write again next monthClick image for larger version

    How much did you pay for the transplant?

    Srry. . I missed some of your headline.

    29 years old. Did your doctor tell you what Norwood category you are when you went in for the consultation?

    Default 6 month update

    About a week past my true 6month mark... I've been busy lately so sorry for the late reply. Still seeing some slow progress. more coverage but the new hairs are definitely thin. Its funny seeing a new hair break through every once in a while because its all curled up and doesn't respond to combing until you take a shower and use some product. All in all, I'm pretty happy so far, but still looking forward to a "breakthrough" in coverage. I wish I could fast forward a few months.

    I know next month is the supposed big one where you see a pretty large change, so...1 month to go. hopefully have good photos to share next month
