6 Months Post Op.... (Hair Transplant)

posted by Worried25yrold, 12.03.2008, 06:41

I have a question... Would it be nonrealistic to expect further growth & additional density between 6 months and 1 year postop? Or at 6 months can you pretty much see all the grafts growing, and just expect a general thickening of them if anything?

Little background to my situation...

2400 Grafts with Dr. Umar Aug. 2007
2500 Grafts with Dr. Armani Dec. 2005
1000 Grafts with Bosley in 2002

I made the mistake going with Bosley without the research, but I have to say, even though the scar they left on the back of my head was rediculous, all 1000 grafts they placed in my frontal scalp were placed conservatively, and I believe they had near 100% survivability...

Then I went with Armani to fill in the temples a little, and add density to the hairline, so that I can worry only about behind the hairline after that, using supplements, propecia, and rogaine to keep as much of it as I could. Well, the hairline he created had some ridging, was see-through and fake looking, and didn't even seem like I had a good yield of the grafts survive...
He also wasn't able to close my scar very much, which he said he would try to do...

Then I went to Dr. Umar, who REALLY made a difference on my scar, with 200 FUEs placed in it... made a huge difference so far... but the other 2000 body/nape FUE grafts that he placed in my hairline to add density and fill in, so far haven't made that much of a difference, as my hairline is still see-through and fake looking... I'm only 6 months out from this surgery though...

So 3 surgeries later, and I STILL have to have further work done on my hairline... which I was hoping I wouldnt have to deal with anymore, since I've spent so much money and donor hair on this area...

I have like 100 pictures but I don't know how to blur out the face, and also don't know how or have the time to make my own site showing em... If anyone could suggest an easy way, let me know...
