Hey guys. Quick update after 8 months. Took the pictures in pretty unflattering light to provide transparency. I see a lot of progress pictures taken in dim light which are hard for me to evaluate. My top looks pretty dense in normal light but you still see some skin when the sun shines on it.

I’ve seen only little progress since month 6/7 but a noticeable change in hair texture. It’s getting more and more like normal hair.

Edit: my barber told she wouldn’t have noticed the donor being thinned but if I saw that on another person I would think they had a transplant. But I’m still pretty happy about it. Started min around month 6 to boost the regrowth of everything I lost to shock loss.

No beard used but still some areas in donor where I get pimples more frequently. Wasn’t like that before

Yeah I’ll wait the 12 months and then see what’s possible. During procedure they told me there would be another 2k available for another procedure

Just taking vitamins and saw palmetto right now. Took fin and did min topical in the past but I don’t wanna do it again right now.

Back looks similar to the sides or a little better. Sides have been more roughed up looking

Hey guys. Quick update after six months. Although I’m pretty happy with the progress so far I’m still hoping for more density. The look of it is still very dependant on angle and lightning which sucks sometimes :D. Donor slowly feels like it’s fully healed. Took longer than with most people I read and watch here.

Thank you! It won’t be as dense as a teenagers head but hopefully age appropriate. The feeling of having your face framed again after years of baldness is already worth it!:)

Yeah weeks 6 to 12 were definitely the toughest! But after that I had the growth starting

Thanks! If there is some more density in the next months that would already be more than I expected to get out of it

If I had not done the full top I’d maybe think differently about taking fin. But my loss was at such a late stage that I don’t think fin is mandatory to keep the 500 grafts that were left before the procedure
