2.5 months post op

[thylax]

Well, most of my transplanted hair in the temples have fallen and hope they come out (in a couple of weeks the should start). Now, the shock loss in donor area, I think is getting better, but I am not sure. The only thing left is to wait... :dunno:

( Here is my donor area shock loss 1 month ago: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=56902 )

Looks about right to me mate. Be patient though, you're only half way through the doldrums. Took me 4 months just to return to normal pre op condition.

Hi mate, I can tell you that your looking right on target... and you have nothing to worry about the shock loss... (mine was worse than yours and it's perfectly fine now) it grows back in time. I can guarrentee you'll be feeling a whole lot happier by the 6 month mark (and even before then seeing some good progress)

Just a tip... when your in doubt, have a look back at your pre-op pics and you will realise just how much progress your making (when u get to the 6 month mark and beyond) this does help you see the changes.

All the best its all worth the frustration you go through waiting around in the end

Here are some close-ups pics, 3 months post op. There are some yellow spots, in one of the temple. I do not what this is. Possibly new hair coming out? will see.

and this is the scar. the redness has almost gone, but there is an issue with shockloss. I just hope it will get better during the next 1-2 months. However, i do not see any small shocked hair coming out there and this makes me nervous

 

[thylax]

what is the usual amount of time the shocked hair in the donor area need to grow again (if so)?

This is the 3 month post op. I guess it should start to take off asap. Summer I am coming!

 

[s.a.f]

Yeah the transformation should really start in the next few months.

The revolution has started! And it is only 3.5 months. The below picture is only 2 weeks after the previous one. This summer will be different!

And that's almost 4 months (actually a few days before that point):

Dudes, any opinions, good or (especially) bad?

 

[andrei_eremenko]

i'm jealous!)

 

[thylax]

thanks, however I have a lot of way to go. I guess my growth yet is small. Anyway, I will be posting pics every 15-20 days...

 

[andrei_eremenko]

what's your age? and what norwood you have been?

28. Go to page 1 of this thread and you will see a pic of me with my transplanetd hair almost shed.

These are 2 close-ups from my temples taken exactly on the 4-month mark. For a peculiar reason it seems my right temple is healing more slowly. Does anybody know why is that? Well, anyway time will show. I guess in June, I should have a somekind of more complete view. Cheers

(use the zoom link in the link below and you will even see the new hair coming out in full detail!)

This is 4.5 months update + 2 pictures just before my surgery.

The difference is obvious, however I need much more time to be satisfied yet

I think it looks pretty good so far. I don't think there's anything to worry about growth-wise - there are no guarantees it'll grow 100% evenly all over.
