    Question 6-month Post-Op. Not too happy, expected it a little thicker...or am I wrong?

    So many, many years ago I had a FUT that, well, went very wrong...the end result was basically what you see in the 'before' pictures below (so yes, pretty bad).


    About 6-months ago, I had FUE for 3000+ grafts with a much better doctor...below are the results thus far.

    Before

    6-months

    Please give me your completely honest opinions. Keep in mind the hair is a little longer it appears in the 6-months version.

    Am I being impatient and should I wait? Or is my initial disappointment right?

    It can take between twelve to eighteen months to get back all of your hair.

    That said, the laws of physics still apply. Density can be distributed only, it cannot become more or less dense.


    So, you might have a more even density.

    Would highly recommend Progesterone for you. Because I believe it can grow
    back hair for men of all ages. Currently I'm in my late forties, and I even have
    new terminal hair on my temples.

    Any side effects to Progesterone?

    None at all. And I have a special compounding pharmacist and prescription for it.

    Doubled the dosage in September 2016. Originally, it was .25%. Started it in January, when
    I was a Norwood four (vertex spot).

    Now, I'm at a Norwood three.

    I would be disappointed with these results if it was the final results but I think your too early. It would help to see you immedeietly post op so we can see re graft distribution.

    How many MG of progesterone are you using daily?

    I dont understand why people are saying to wait for another x amount of months before you see a final result because i cannot see any grafts at the back which will grow given more time.. I would want a full refund im sorry to say.

    Probably over five milligrams. The liquid is .5% Progesterone. .1% equals one milligram. I use it more than I should. Twice a day, morning and night. But it is growing my hair back. If I tried Finasteride in my thirties, I wouldn't be doing this now.

    Do you take propecia? Just curious.

    As to your pics I would say there is a marked improvement. Maybe will get better with time, here's hoping.
