Hi everyone so I had a 4500 graft FUE done about 6 months ago in June and as the results of it are evidently beginning to appear, I wanted to share my experiences.

I did my HT in Turkey at cosmedica clinic and am overall satisfied with the result so far, but still hoping for more growth

Current medication regimen: Finasteride 1mg daily, Biotin supplements daily, Minoxidil (infrequently)

Disclaimer: I do not recommend or endorse any doctors or places to do a HT, results typically depend on the doctor performing the operation, the patient profile and the availability in the donor area

Can you add a pic of the top and crown areas of your head?
Thanks for the pics so far.

You should hopefully see more growth there up to 15mths post HT.

One question: when did your hair growth really become obvious to you or to others?

It was slow going for me up to a point around 3.5mths then the extra length kicked in and I've really been happy with the overall look in 5he past month (4.5-5.5mth post).

Exactly the same situation, up until 3-4 months. I just buzzed my hair to a 0.5 and only started noticing the length at about 5 months and its been growing pretty quickly since. Ive cut the top once since the 5 months.

Adelmanis, your hair looks very kinked or wavy but I think if you continue to grow it longer on the top, the better it will look.

Do you have a pic from a month ago to show how much it has grown this past month?

Added a crown picture, little progress but I know it takes longer for the hair on the crown to grow

That is good crown coverage compared to before. A decent number if grafts too.
Do you think that you will be happy with this or do you see yourself going back for another session for the crown area? I think you could leave it for now.

Pretty happy with it so far, my main focus was the frontal area and the top so Im pleased with more coverage there than the crown. If worse comes to worse I can use toppik or other hair fibre concealers to fill up the crown easily

I don't know if you've read my reviews and seen my pics but now that you have a decent length and lots of regrowth: have you tried brushing the hair down or across instead of up?

I think it might soften your hairline and look a bit more natural.
I don't know, just asking since you have lots of options now.
I think it's coming along really well.
November 26, 2016
I agree, I usually brush it across to the right side. I tried it down and it looks pretty unnatural since I have alot of density on the hairline with less behind it but hoping that fills up.

Yours looks great btw! Did you have anyone notice that you got anything done ? I feel like a few people asked me but most people didnt notice

Nobody has asked me straight up but they do give me some funny looks, so yes people have noticed a difference but may not want to tell me to my face!

I totally agree with your situation: having a high density at the front and a bit less behind.
By growing it longer you get over that issue, since the hair covers the thinner areas.

When you.see my pics with the hair brushed up, it's less dense in appearance and looks a bit frizzier.

Nice growth over the crown!
What dates were you in IST?
A number of people with reviews here were there in early June!
November 26, 2016
Yeah was there early June, was quite a bit of people from that time before the unrest happened in Turkey which I think might have effected the tourism market.

18 months for the crown, I've read!
November 25, 2016
It's going well, though. It's just a matter of being patient for the crown.
