Hello Everyone,
I am a 33 year old male and had my second hair transplant in Feb 2016. Its been roughly 8 months but i am still not seeing the kind of results that i would have expected (cliche but true
). Transplanted close 4000 grafts using FUT in both the crown and sides. I have uploaded my day after transplant picture and my current crown area. I had a few specific questions for your gurus here:
1) What is your overall impression of the transplant as of now (8 months post)?
2) Is it true that crown usually takes more time ?
3) I was also experiencing some hair loss lately but i think that might have been due to an iron deficiency (started iron supplements). Think the thinning would reverse? Noticed lesser hair fall since I started taking the supplements
4) Do you think smoking and hair loss is associated? I know many doctors tend to deny this. I am not a heavy smoker, but may be 2 a day.
5) If you zoom in my current picture you will notice these small tiny hair as well. Not sure if this is due to minoxidil or are these the transplanted hair that are growing. I wasnt completed bald from the top before the surgery. Do you think these small hair will grow to become terminal hair if they are due to minoxidil?
6) I dint get satisfactory results from my first transplant hair and also noticed some of the transplanted hair to fall off. Can iron/mineral deficiency cause transplanted hair to fall? I had heard that transplanted hair is not influenced by male pattern loss so i am still curious as to why they fell out.
7) Do you think transplanted hair can still sprout both from the vertex and sides looking at the time line? Also would the mineral deficiency cause transplanted hair to delay their maturing?
Anyways, i know i have a lot of questions there and hopefully there would be others in the forum that will benefit from your answers as well!
Thanks for your time.
Cheers!
