3.5 months update:
The transplanted follicles is growing and I am seeing 1/4" inch hair filling up the transplanted area. It's wonderful seeing it grow. yeah!!!!!!! I hope it will grow faster and healthy and finally fill in the area with my regular dense dark hair.

Hi!
My boyfriend recently had a hair transplant in September. He is 26 years old and starting losing his hair at 22. His doctor is located in Beverly Hills as well (I wonder if this is the same doctor because he went on stand by also). He thinks that the surgery didnt help but I have noticed the tiny hairs that have started growing. I guess we have to wait and see if all that money and time was worth it...I will keep you guys posted.

Hello, How is your boyfriend doing? How long has it been since the transplant and what do you think?

Hey! So it's been 2 months and he hasn't seen any results. He uses topical powder to cover the spots until the hair grows... Do you know if this is harmful??? (Apparently the doctor told him its safe) and do you know if you can use hairspray??? Thanks a lot!!!!

i just had my first follow up at the doctor's office (will write a update very soon).
well his transplanted hair will dormant for at least 4 months so it is normal not seeing any results and also depends on what method the hair was transplanted. This would also account for their survival rate (anywhere from70-90 percent) so dont worry. also they wont all come out at the same time. some of my transplanted hair is at 2inches other are still just a black dot and barely coming out. my next follow up is in april/ may.
try to leave the transplanted area clean and listen to doctor's advices. i personally would not use anything to cover up unless he really needs to that will keep the follicles clean. i will use gel instead of sprays. just tell him to keep his scalp and hair clean so none of those things will plug up his pore. i experienced some scalp pimples when the hair was first started coming out. dont wash too much once every other day. hope this helps.

Usually ethical doctors will suggest getting a hair transplant at that young age. You won't know how much hair your going to loose in the next ten years or so. As you do loose more hair the transplanted hair is going to look funny because it won't fall out. This will have you back getting another transplant and so on till your hairloss stops. Count on spending thousands of dollars. At 26 I hope you tried Rogaine and propecia first. If not you might want to try it to preserve your existing natural hair. I had my first HT at 45. And had 2 more to try to get some density. Just trying to be helpfull . Check out the hairtransplantnetwork.com

Update!!! So he had his 6 month follow up and his hair looks a lot fuller. He still thinks that it isn't as full as he would like it to be but it's much better!!! He doesn't even need to use the little pieces of hair anymore that he used to cover up. I will keep you posted.

Going on to 8th Week after the Transplant:
Most of my transplanted hair had fallen out as expected and told by the doctor and my own research. Now the transplanted hair follicles are dormant ad would be for the next 3 months (anywhere from 3-4 months) and the transplanted hair will than grow. However I am seeing a little growth right now not sure if it's new hair or transplanted hair (i was told sometimes they don't fall out and will keep growing but only a very small #'s would). I did experienced a bit of shock lost in week 2-4 but it's back to normal now.
My hair line looks exactly the same and the scar in the back has healed and my scalp is no longer numb. I do feel small bumps on the scar on the back of my head and i will ask a friend to take a pic so I can see what it looks like. However i dont think it's a big deal.
I still wear my hair the same as Justin Biber's bangs and no one can tell I had this done. When i pull my bangs back there is no evidence of any work done and looks completely natural but as I said before the hair has not come in yet. so I am still seeing my receding hairline.
The 2 downside about this is the cost. it was very expensive even at a discounted rate of 1600 hair follicles for $6,100. That's consider a minor (small) transplant and the pain and numbness of the scalp between week 1-4.
So far I can not determine if it's worth it or not.

It's been 2 weeks since my transplant and it's going well but part of my scalp is really itchy and another part is a bit numb. My doctor took the stitches out and told me the numbness will subside in a month. The first 5 days after than transplant i didn't experience any hair lost at all it was like my scalp had fallen into a coma but after a week my hair was falling out like crazy but it's finally stopped since yesterday. I hope everything is ok.
The transplant area is really flaky because the scabs are falling off and some transplanted hair had fallen out as explained by my doctor. The follicles will be entering a resting phase for 2-4 months before permanent hair growth.
I have covered up my transplanted area with Justin Biber style bangs and no one so far have noticed.
My next appointment is in 5 months. I will update you than.

is there any side affect of hair transplantation?and how cost is needed?how much assurity you will give.
July 16, 2012
side effect is a light scarring at the donor area on the back of the head but it's covered by by exiting hair and cost really depends on how much hair u are transplanting. i got a groupon deal so my cost was $6,100 for 1600 hair follicles.my research indicated 90 percent plus transplants will survive. however it's been 10 weeks since my transplant and no results yet. it will take up to 4 month to see any growth and should have the full effect after a year.
Everything is going well and most of my transplanted hair has grown to about 1 inch but since I have not passed the one year mark (April 2013) I am reluctant in giving you my doctor's name and detail as of yet. By the time I reached my one year mark all the transplanted hair would have reached a good length than I can decide if he is worthy of a recommendation. I still have 2 follow up appointments coming up one in October and another one in April. I will let you know how it is.
