| Here I am at 11 months post-op (2100 FU’s) and feeling quite blasé about the results thus far. As you can see by the pictures, the hairline looks best when it is not seen at all. I’m fairly pleased with the shape and placement of the hairline, with the receded temples. It doesn’t look pluggy (although some recipient incision marks are still slightly noticeable) but it lacks much density. Consequently, I am left with the comb-forward look and not much else. The transplanted hair is still quite thinner than the rest and is growing out quite curly. I am currently using a straightener to address this issue. I still feel stubble. Will this hair eventually grow or is it in a permanently shocked state? At 11 months, can I expect much improvement from where it now stands? I am fairly happy with my donor scar as it remains very thin and had little to no shock loss in the surrounding area. However, there remains a pink hue around the incision. Currently, I’m still very dependent on concealers. I use a combination of dermmatch and toppik. I would very much like to lose reliance on them as they can often appear chalky. The question is what to make of these below average results. My doctor has been helpful, by making phone calls to check up on my status and answering questions. However, he is semi-retiring, which is why I requested the pre-op photos you now see posted. It is clear I have made up a lot of ground since going on Finasteride. My doctor thought it best for me to get on the meds before rushing into surgery and that was definitely a wise decision. I have now been on Finasteride for over three years. Or is it my physiology? My hair texture is quite thin and maybe just needs more grafts to accomplish more density. I am also a slow healer. I have had other scars on my body for years before they became undetectable. But I can’t help but wonder whether if my yield is mediocre at best. I have by no means been butchered and will not need a “repair” job. However, I will need another procedure in the very near future and hope the final result will far exceed where I currently stand now. Advice, comments, support welcome. |
