r/Hairtransplant

I had a transplant on April 14th of roughly 3k+ grafts. I’m at ~6 months and I’m concerned by my progress. I’ve remained consistent with Finasteride and Oral Minoxidil. I went to a very reputable US plastic surgeon. Would appreciate any thoughts on progress at this point and if I should be concerned about the lack of grafts that have shown growth. I feel like I’m at maybe ~10% and I should be closer to ~50% by now. TIA!

I’m 26 years old and had been dealing with hair loss for quite some time. It started affecting my confidence, so after trying different options and doing a lot of research, I decided to go ahead with a hair transplant. I spent quite a bit of time researching doctors and clinics before making my decision. I finally had my procedure done in April 2026. I’m now 5 months post-op and wanted to share my progress so far. The growth is still developing, and I understand that hair transplant results can take several months to mature. Overall, I’m happy with the progress at this stage and looking forward to seeing how things develop over the coming months. This is only my personal experience, and results can vary from person to person. Please do your own research and consult a qualified doctor before making any medical decisions.

Hi guys, i had an hairtransplant for my hairline because it receded a lot, 2 years has past since and im not happy with the result, i went with a buzzcut cause i was tired of always combing my hair back and fixing it it looked decent with wax tbh,not knowing it would look much worse,what would you guys advice to fix or to conceal, the new hairs are plucky and are placed in a wrong angle almost straight, even though i researched this topic and talked with the clinic about my concerns pre op this is the result unfortunatly, i went in knowing i would need a second one after a few years cause hair kept thinning from stress, is a revision even possible with this much hair placed at a wrong angle? Maybe fill the back of the hairline with hairs also placed at a “wrong” angle? I really dont know anymore guys thanks in advance

What dou you think will it be good?

Currently in 2.5mg Minoxidil , Topical min/fin , and 2% Keto shampoo.

They say density picks up in month 6-8, how’s it looking up to this point?

Had 3000 graphs, it’s been 6 months, it’s better but honestly was expecting more by now.
Not on min or fin (side effects weren’t worth it)
Looking for thoughts on what I can expect in the next year and some other supplemental ways to bring it back. Fortunately I have plenty of donor hair but would prefer not have to do this again .

*no need to worry about the redness and uneven hairs. I buzzed my hair no guard with little care to the evenness. The redness has quickly subsided.

20’sM. Dut and min (hairloss is stablized and still making good progress)
Planning on doing a HT next month for the temple and hairline area which has thinned out diffusely rather than truly receded (yet, hopefully not tho).
Transplant is going to be to add density to my temples and reinforce my hairline.

Clinic I’m going with want to use 2800 grafts.
They said they might end up taking more during the procedure but that 2800 is the minimum they’ll transplant for the price I paid. Im cool with 2800 but don’t wanna use too much grafts incase I ever need another transplant. Does my donor allow me to safely get away with 2800 grafts and still have enough to spare for the future? If so, how many total grafts do you think my donor offers?

Is there any hope for this? I’ve been on fin and min and it has continued to progress over the past few years.
