Six Months after Surgery

Sorry for the long long delay in putting this post. I holding it to put up more updates at the same time. So here you go - 6th, 7th  and 8th months progress at the same time.

6 months is the first milestone where considerable growth is expected. Some doctors claim that results are shown after 6 months, but in my case, it’s not true as you can see on the images below. I have good growth for the hairs which have grown, but missing on some parts. A successful hair transplant is the one where hairs grow with good density and no bald patches left in-between. If one of them does not happen, then the appearance is worse.

I think that growth of the hairs (in general) is dependent on the healthy food and healthy lifestyle and also to hereditary factors. Same applies to the transplanted hairs also. So merely getting the transplant does not mean that we solved the problem. We need to take care of hairs forever.

See the current growth. I am disappointed by the lower density of the hairs in frontal part. Also bald patches on temporal areas are concerns.

I discussed this with the representative from clinic. They advised me to visit the clinic once I am back in India and also told me that they will do something about the lower density. I am not sure what action would that be, but I suppose they should perform another small FUE to correct the current situation or may be some medications. However, it all depends on the results after 1 year as that’s the complete growth cycle as per my clinic.

I am hoping that when the hairs grow more, the bald patches will be hidden in the bushes. But if it doesn’t happen, then I will have to use hair fibers till I do something about the patches.

I would advise to talk to the doctor in advance and confirm what action they will take in case of such issues. The clinic and doctor should be accountable for the complete cycle of Transplant and growth. Because they charge very high amount so they should remain responsible till the end and guarantee the growth.

Once more observation, I was thinking that Minoxydil from all companies are same. It’s the base medicine that matters. But it’s not true. My previous brand was very much suitable for me. When the stock finished, I had to purchase a new one from local medicine shop. But suddenly my hair fall increased. So I just stopped it and bought a new one from Canada. It’s the best so far. No hair fall, and no dandruff.
