Almost 5 months post-transplant, the transplanted hair continues to thicken
WORTH IT$2,720
Almost 5 months post-transplant, the transplanted hair continues to thicken. See attached photos of my hair on May 28th (I had the transplant on January 9th). I have cut my hair with clippers several times during the past two months, otherwise it would be a lot longer. The transplanted hair is now as thick as the hair on the middle-top of my head, and it is still getting thicker. I have a real hairline and temples now!

Four Weeks Later
Four weeks after the procedure, the donor site and graft site are healing well. Most of the stitches at the donor site have been absorbed/fallen out. I have had some shedding in the graft site, as expected. Most of the redness is gone from the donor site. In the donor site picture, my hair is cut to about 1/4", as this is normally how I cut my hair in the back. The hair is growing through the trichophytic closure and it looks good so far.
I am using minoxidil 5% liquid on the graft and donor sites, as I have heard that it may speed the regrowth process.
I'll update again in about a month. Thanks for looking!

It appears that Tijuana may provide hidden treasures. I had two procedures by Dr. Alicia Sigler within two months (Nov., 2015 and just this past January) and I am very happy with what she did. I will be be telling my story here on RealSelf soon. She did better work than the Beverly Hills plastic surgeons for a fraction of the price.

Hello I have a question about using minoxidil. Did they advise it was okay to use at the graft area and if so how soon can you start to apply it.

Two Weeks Later
Two weeks later, the graft area is healing nicely. I am being gentle with the newly transplanted hairs, only washing them with diluted baby shampoo in a spray bottle. A few hairs have fallen out, but I have not seen any damage to follicles. I'll update again in a couple of weeks.

I used a Visa card, but I'm sure they would accept cash. If you use a credit card, make sure to let your bank know ahead of time that you will be travelling to Mexico so that the charge doesn't get declined.

I received 3,800 hairs in 1,500 grafts and the (PRP) Plateled Rich Plasma, and According to Dr. Hernandez , she assured me that the result was going to be great and now it looks worse than before , I wanted my hairline lower and she said that if I wanted good density I need to design the hairline higher , I said ok because I wanted to have a very good outcome .
the photo in my profile shows the disastrous result of my hair transplant a year later.
I also want to add that Dr Hernandez used a technique called trichrophytic closure that apparently the scar in the back becomes almost invisible .
Well mine is so big and more visible than the previous hair transplant that I had in 2007 .
I have been using 5% minoxidil and purador shampoo that blocks DHT hormone .
Good luck to you man .
