I had a HT at the end of October. Right now, my hair is growing back everywhere ... except in the donor area. In that region, my hair looks as bad as never before. There's literally nothing left.

I was starting to panic, but then I read in the papers they gave me that it is normal to experience "shock loss" in the first two months after the HT, and that it will regrow in the next months. The internet says this:
Sl


So here I am right now, waiting for the regrow, while my hair in the donor area looks completely dead now. The rest of my hair looks mostly normal, and there are no scars visible anywhere. Everything's fine, now I just have to see hair in the donor area in the next months.

How many grafts and where did you go?
 
Are you on oral minox? If so how much

I had Norwood 1.5-2 and diffuse thinning in large parts, I think it was necessary.
That seems like a lot of grafts for NW2. Did they add to your crown at all?

They added a little bit around the crown, yes. And the hairline will be NW1 when it grows back, so 3500 grafts seem reasonable imo.
 
what you need hair for?

Good thing im on minox+fin+ all the rest, and my hair looks great.
 
See your transplant doc. Consider PRP.
 
3500, Germany.
What did you pay for it? Curious because I plan to get a HT as soon as I have the money saved up. Will start coping with Derminator soon.

About 2000 euros.
