16days post op how are my results

Hello Everyone,

I'm dealing with rapid hairloss from the last one year and mentally drained to see my hairline go up so quick.
I wish to have the desired hairline as shown in picture (opting a conservative HT)..... How many grafts are needed for that Hairline reconstruction.
Please help me.... Some Hair Mills are saying I need 2000-2500 grafts is it true?

Thanks in Advance!!

So this is my first post on reddit please be kind.

Hi all,

I had my hair transplant on 25th December 2025.

You can see my pre transplant image.

It was a massive session with 6k grafts and took around 16hrs +

I have had one prp session and one exosomes session.

I am eating multivitamins and Finasteride.

When i compare my hair with what my friends looked like at this stage, i seems to have very bad result.

The last image is at 4 month.

Should i be getting worried now?

I consulted with my surgeon and he is saying. “I should do a vit d test and start taking vit d, and also start minoxidil urgently. The growth looks very low at this stage”

Which is making me even more concerned.

What you guys think?

I got a hair transplant exactly 7 months ago now. The first 3 photos are from before the transplant, the next photo is right after the transplant, the next is 2 weeks after the transplant, after the scabs came off, and the rest were taken today, 7 months after. I got 3500 grafts in the hairline and mid scalp, the crown was not touched. Also something to note, i paused minoxidil for a month around the transplant, and when I returned I switched to oral minoxidil instead of topical, so I’ve been on that 6 months now. Was on topical for 4 years before that. And I’ve been on finasteride about 14 months. Now, I do think that my hair has improved since the transplant, but it is not as drastic of an improvement as I thought. I still have very visible scalp in the front corners, and very sparse and often visible scalp in mid scalp too. I am able to brush it certain ways and it looks good, but still very evident that there are bare spots. I know there is improvement past 7 months, but from what I understand it’s mostly thickening, and to me it seems like there are just bare spots without grafts. What do you think? Also, the reason there is redness in the photos today is because I just did microneedling!!!

• Surgery performed in January 2025 by Dr Ted Miln

• 7,848 graft FUE/FUT hybrid performed over two day

• Largest hair transplant performed in the UK!

• Patient presented with Norwood 6 hair loss

• Patient, Mike, is 6ft3” with larger than average head size meaning large recipient canvas to cover

• Donor area characteristics are excellent and would sustain another surgery for greater density or refinements if desired

Basically, the first photo shows my current condition, and the second photo shows the donor area. Right now, the hair loss is severe, and it started while I was taking retinoids. I want to get a transplant without finasteride because I really don’t want to mess with hormones just for my hair; financially, it’s not an issue. I’m prepared for more than one procedure; I’m expecting at least two. The doctor said my donor area is thick and curly enough to fill the top of my head without the “doll hair” effect. What do you think about this? How would you evaluate this idea and my donor area? I’m willing to take the risk that I might end up with a patch of hair in the future, but I don’t want to be half-bald at 20; I want to look young and my age at least until I’m 25–30.

Today is the 95th. Day of my HT. I still feel unwell and have hardly been going out for 3 months, I don't use any medication, only spray and shampoo from the clinic. On 02. june I'm going on vacation , what can I expect until then? Do you think I can easily carry the hair forward? I once added a picture of ChatGPT.

How’s the total Sarah had about 250 Hair graphs Transplant had about eight weeks ago. I went to a bit of a Hair mill but the hairline looks fine.

I’m concerned about the redness. It doesn’t seem to be going and it’s been eight weeks already

AI tells me that I am in the longer period that it normally takes. Anyone had the same experience?
