Hi Guys,

This is my 8 months update, I have had 4200 grafts and these are my results at 8 months. I am a little worried at the moment, I definitely have had growth but not as much as I expected it is still only 8 months so hoping I am a late grower. I would like your opinions please.

Seems like I had a lot of shock loss but I thought it would come back by now.

Thanks,

To add minoxidil and PRP for the next 4 months I think would help massively, it looks like 50% to 60% of you grafts have grown which is only slightly behind schedule.

I don't think you have enough grafts anyway to not back up will hair loss treatment to support

Month 9 and 10 were good for me but I added kick ass prp
Thanks Pat I think you are right I will give PRP a shot. This is my second hair transplant I remember being a later grower the 1st I didn't see big results until after the 11 month mark.
Mate, I think you should be add Finastride immediately to your regime and check to see if you have sides or not. You had a lot of hair before 2nd transplant and there is a chance the hair you have lost is your native hair. Without Finastride you will loose your existing Native hair. Good luck with growing.
This is my 2nd hair transplant the 1st one I mainly had hairs implanted at the front end I hope the the 1st hair transplant hairs are not damaged for good. I have emailed the Dr to see what he says. Yes I am using Finasteride just now and it definitely works once I stopped it and seen hair loss. I have no side effects using it either which is great. Thanks for your support.
Hey there. I'd be pretty confident that you're a slow grower going on your past experience and also the fact you have super thick healthy looking native hair.
Glad you are ok on the finasteride too. I'm 43 now and only started on it at 40 and saw a big difference in the first year alone(along with minoxidil).
I must put up some pics showing the difference using these.
By the way you look super cool in your pre-op side profile pic. You don't look like you have any form of hair loss at all. Wish I could sport the buzz cut like that.
Meant to also say for you to put up some recent pics when you get a chance. Cheers.

3 months Post op quite worried at this point!

Hi this is me at 3 months post op I have added some pre-op pictures as a comparison, to be honest my main concern is not my new hair hair growth but my shock loss, it seems after 3 months I have a lot of shock loss? I really hope I can get my original hair back as well as the new hair. Is this normal I thought shock loss hair would have grown back by now?
I think I am past the worst of it now, it can only get better. What do you guys think?

Month 3 is the worst I had shock loss looked like crap, by month 9 I looked really good.

You are coming to some exciting months around 100 days
Should keep up bioton and I use minoxidil.

If you can get prp cheap do it as soon as possible
Thanks Chris I will try to find somewhere to do PRP
It's going to look great. That linear look is what most people seem to have when it scabs like that but it seems to look very natural when it's grown. In a couple of months you'll probably be very pleased.
Thanks I spoke to a few Dr's and they all said my hair was thick so I would get a good result if the surgeon is good... Dr Tugrul has a lot of good review but you can't help but be nervous lol.
looks like your in for a good result Hairman , patience is key with FUE , all of a sudden between 90-120 days it will grow out and you will be thinking why was I worried? let me know how you get on ? thanks J
Hi hairman , can you update please ?

7 Weeks Post OP

Hi,
This is me at 7 weeks post op, been really difficult with hair falling out and am not looking great, to make matters worse, one of my work colleagues asked me about my hair, asked me how the fake hair implant were getting on, I asked her what made her think I had a hair transplant she said she could notice my hairs looked they were in lines and it looked unnatural :(
I never told anyone about my hair transplant just told them I had shaved my hair but they have obviously noticed because of the hairs being transplanted in lines. Really upset, if I had known my hair was going to be implanted in straight lines I might not have went ahead. I spoke to the DR he said plenty of other patients at his clinic had the same but ended up with good natural results. I don't mind as long as it looks natural once grown. Fingers crossed.

Its stupid they were in lines, slightly worrying did they say why they did it and not mix it up but the progress looks fine from pictures

You have to be ugly for a while, March to May should be good.
Yeh very annoyed I read other reviews but never really noticed any others with grafts put in lines. While having the surgery if I had known I would habe told them so but it was a bit to late once I noticed so just kept quite. Thanks for advice will try to be strong.
7 weeks I looked hortific too, by 4 months I saw decent improvement and desinty is getting better now at 8 months, front more then back, so long way to go
Thanks for the boost in confidence :) On my first FUT I only really started to see growth at 8 months to 18 months. Some people are late growers.
How is your hair now?
Read some of his reviews and he has good results, even with similar style so should be fine, I'm not an expert
Really sorry hear and see the experience you've gone through. I've had a FUT procedure and didn't have row like implants. Strikes me as being odd. I wonder why this Dr. has had so many great reviews. I hope that as a few months go by and your hair settles and fills in it will look more natural. Please keep us update. BTW your colleague is a [RS bleep].
I'm also operated by dr Maral and have the same issue with the lines. Hope it gets less noticeable in the future. Dr Maral said something about protecting the channels, that's why it's planted in rows. But I don't know...
Hello crazyheinz , I think Dr Maral's team use the pattern as it protects lateral oriented blood vessels and that helps the blood flow to the newly implanted Grafts , also makes the new hair look more denser as the Grafts structures are always behind each other , imagine a forest of trees ? this is what creates the image of density , hope this helps
As long as it's not visible when the hairs are all grown I'll be very happy :)
maybe take biotin to give your new hair some fuel ha
Good idea wI'll start thanks
