Thanks @Baldingman23, I have to admit I feel like my density is very much less than where yours was at so although it's good to know there's more to come... I'm not positive with this at all now.Hang in there buddy it’s still early days. I’ve found my pictures at 7 and 9 months for you to compare.
Hi mate,Hi mate.
I did experience some growth following my 7 month review. My advice would be to use any treatment/supplement you can to try and encourage any growth. I was already taking finasteride but started on minoxidil, biotin and saw palmetto, and although it cannot be conclusive that it was down to the treatment we implemented, we did see a change. I’ve since been offered PRP and oral minoxidil. I’m coming up to 18 months but still lack density on my temples and top. I had 2308 grafts done but need 600-1000 on my hairline and a figure of around 300 given for the top, which roughly estimates that only around 50% of the transplanted have taken. Have you been advised to implement any supplements/treatment? Also, I’m sure living a healthier lifestyle would help anybody with growth (don’t smoke, exercise, balanced diet, plenty of water). Hoping things turn round for you mate. I’ll follow your updates.
Hi mate. Yes I had mine done at the same clinic.Hi mate,
Was yours done with Hair Dr too?
To be honest I don't smoke and I exercise all the time, eat relatively well and drink plenty water etc so not much more can be done there. 50% of taken grafts sounds significantly low. I read everywhere that you should expect about 90%. So I'd be very inclined to know why clinics are now after so much hype before, resorting to such extreme measures such as further grafts or PRP.
I only had my temples to do which 2000 should have been more than enough... It seems like therefore did they fall out, or did they never get placed in the first place...? Seriously concerning!
Not sure what to do at this point now
I think your chances of this being a successful hair transplant now are quite low now and you have to plan for a second transplant. The Hair Dr will offer you a free repair surgery as they have for me, but it's up to you if you wanna take it. There is a cohort of failed transplant from the Hair Dr on this forum all done early 2021 but also some good results so it is a gamble. It's probably safer to go somewhere else but it is money versus grafts.
