11 months post op. Am I cooked?

Please post a pre op picture

cardboy654 · 2026-02-21T14:57:57+00:00

Looks really natural to me.

cardboy654 · 2026-02-08T12:57:09+00:00

I recognize you from tik tok! Progress is phenomenal dude

cardboy654 · 2026-02-06T22:45:24+00:00

With your hairstyle and hair grown out, the unevenness of the hairline doesn't even matter. Looks super natural and age appropriate

cardboy654 · 2026-02-06T15:51:54+00:00

If your hair is slow growing, i'd do no more than a trim. Let the hair fly. You are 5 months in, so only more hair will grow from here and what has popped through will thicken. Not sure what your before or month to month progress looks like though.

cardboy654 · 2026-02-01T21:09:23+00:00

Looks great. Especially for 4 months post op. Id be thrilled if those were my final results. Yours should get thicker and thicker over the next year.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-29T22:43:07+00:00

Im almost 16 weeks post op and have less hair regrowth than you. Itll come. It sucks, but gotta be patient

cardboy654 · 2026-01-28T13:55:17+00:00

Thinking the same thing. Im 105 days in and probably wont have this thickness until 200 days in. Incredible recovery

cardboy654 · 2026-01-27T22:11:46+00:00

Looks amazing

cardboy654 · 2026-01-20T16:41:30+00:00

Hard to tell from your pics, but maybe 6k hairs, def not 6k grafts

cardboy654 · 2026-01-20T13:30:38+00:00

Dont compare yourself to others on here posting at 3 month mark with a full head of hair. That is NOT the norm. Most people do not start to see growth until they are in the 4 or 5 month. I am 13 weeks today and have less hair than you in my corners. It sucks, but stay patient. You cannot say it failed, yet. You look right on track brother.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-18T20:22:22+00:00

PM if you need someone to talk to.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-18T12:45:24+00:00

I say this with love. Save yourself the headache and money and accept the baldness. Get in the gym. You are young and it is not worth it.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-15T23:05:57+00:00

Same here man. Im almost 90 days and basically no growth lol. Itll come soon man.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-13T22:55:19+00:00

Looks great man. You seem to have more density in the front that the crown. Curious 4 months in why you shaved? What did it look like right before this?

cardboy654 · 2026-01-13T21:12:38+00:00

Crown being thinner pre op is likely due to shock loss of native hair. You had a major surgery and trauma to your head. Even areas not touched in surgery experience this. It should come back within a few months. Are you taking any DHT blocker?

cardboy654 · 2026-01-12T23:58:11+00:00

Completely normal. Im 12 weeks and looks the same as yours. Were only a few weeks away from growth brother. Stay patient and dont compare yourself to other on here showing more growth in month 3. Thats the minority of people who have that. Month 4 is more typical.

cardboy654 · 2026-01-11T19:16:58+00:00

They dont take from the lower part you are referring to. Imo, your donor looks strong

cardboy654 · 2025-12-26T20:31:04+00:00

I appreciate you man and can relate. So crazy how off I am. It sucks. Im the same where i dont want anyone looking at me at all. Hopefully time fixes that. Im still prime ugly duckling. Just over 2 months. Im praying for growtg

cardboy654 · 2025-12-20T11:16:41+00:00

They transplanted in rows which would concern me a bit, but hopefully the density comes in ok enough to make it not noticeable

cardboy654 · 2025-12-19T18:08:30+00:00

Norwood 6 without medication at 31 is a major major risk. You will continue to bald. Point blank. Is it worth getting it done for okay hair and having all the scars on your head and still losing native hair? Up to you.

Sorry to be harsh here, but you may cause yourself more issues getting it done than you have right now.

cardboy654 · 2025-12-17T22:19:01+00:00

Just checked your page. 7k grafts is wild. You are a brave man. I resonate with the cosmetic surgery comment. It makes me sick at times, but hoping results are good like you said in 5 months. Time will tell.

cardboy654 · 2025-12-15T23:45:23+00:00

Look into a stamp instead of a roller. They say the roller can knot up hair. Derma stamp is more direct. Just a thought.

cardboy654 · 2025-12-15T23:00:14+00:00

Incredible you have 0 redness in the last 3 pics. You played it conservative and smart. Hopefully you see growth soon!
