I am here at eight months milestone. I would say the appearance is presentable but would rate it 6 out of 10 from expectation point of view.
Till last month, I was not in India. I was in Canada. but now I am back in India. All my friends and family members were surprised to see me. Not many of them knew that I had a transplant before traveling. So they tried to pull and confirm if my hairs are genuine. It was in my best interest not to be in India during these growth months. Otherwise I would have had tough time explaining to friends had I decided to keep hair length long.
Though the confidence boosts with head full of hairs, real confidence is in your attitude. So even if you have bald head and do not have enough budget for transplant, behave confidently and don't feel embarrassed. The good appearance after transplant is visible only to you. Others see it as normal because for others, it is something which is anyways supposed to be there - Hairs. So don't fall pray to the advertisements from hair transplant clinics. Do it only when you have enough budget with extra money. I am just writing this from my experience.
See below my current progress. I am worried about the bald patches highlighted below.Need to show this to the doctor. The patch visibility is reducing month after month but still the patch is there. Its on both sides on temple areas.
As I told in my last posts, very small hairs can be felt on fingers in the bald patches. I suppose these are the double and triple stranded transplanted hairs.If so, then it is evident that they fall right after transplant and start growing after 7-8 months. See a better view for them below, If they grow completely in next 3-4 months, then my patches will be gone and head will look full. Even if they look not so dense, I feel many of them when I move my finger around. Please note that the below photo is taken very closely.
I did not talk about donner area and strip stitches for long. Here is the current situation there. The stitches are barely visible. I don't feel any pain. Even if I will keep hair length small, I think it should be fine.

Smaller dots can be seen if carefully observed. I suppose if I go bald, then probably it is possible to identify the strip. But now I am not worried about it. After 8 months its almost gone. So it should be completely invisible in 2 years more.
So this is my progress so far. Thanks for reading my blog. Please let me know if I should write about any other detail. Till then, happy growth!!!
