11 months post- NOT WORTH IT

Ok guys. I'm going to tell you that at 11 months, it is evident that this procedure was poorly done. I have what looks like Brillo growing for hair & the transplant was not dense enough so now i look like I'm balding. In addition, the doctor didn't create a natural or feminine hairline or pay any attention to the pattern in which my hair parts or my temples. I am very disappointed & have contacted the office to schedule a follow up to voice my concerns. I spent a good deal of money on this & honestly looked better w my big forehead than this oddly textured, weird shaped unnatural "hair" that I may now have to laser off. I wouldn't recommend this doctor for this procedure. Will let you all know what happens

I have some hairs that grew which never shed. Most did, in fact, shed. I see some new hairs rising to the surface about to emerge. It's sparse at best but I'm not expecting much until the three month mark. One thing I'm concerned about is the discoloration I have. I'm hoping this goes away w time. It's reduced a lot since I had the surgery but it's still noticeable. I have bangs so I cover the area & no one knows I had it done except a few close ppl. Here's a photo. Feedback welcome.

Thanks for posting your progress. Can't wait to see the hairs come through more. The discolouration doesn't look too bad at least you can cover it up. Exciting times ahead X

As far as the discolouration is concerned , everyone is different .It took about 3 months for mine to fade . Your recipient area has settled quite nicely , so I'm sure it will be pretty much be totally gone over the next month or so.
The months 3 to 4 mark is when you will notice things really kicking in .
Good luck !

Ok, so in 3 days it will be a month since. My transplants. The hairs have finally shed, with the exception of just a few. There are a few stubbly roots that I thought were from hairs breaking off, but actually if you gently pull w a tweeter they don't budge. (Again, I did this gently!) my head was really itchy in both the recipient & donor areas these last few days. Since the hairs have shed its been a bit better. You can tell they are shedding normally & not grafts coming out because they slide out from the root extremely easily & there is no tugging. The donor area is annoying me because the "dissolvable" stitches still haven't completely dissolved. I was feeling back there & thought I was running my fingers through a few hairs that were tangled but it's a piece of the thread that must've caught something & came loose! It feels like a loop. I'm leaving it alone now. I can feel the hair growing back in there and it feels like it's even growing through the incision line. My recipient area still feels a little off in texture & is a bit pink but from what I was told this is normal. I can't wait to see some hairs sprouting!!

Thanks for sharing your progress. I had the same procedure a few years ago and it wasn't too successful. I recently went in for a 2nd and currently I'm 7 weeks post op. Please keep updating your progress! Its comforting to know someone else is going through the same process.
