Senior Member Bb111 Posted March 20, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 20, 2023 This is looking like it's right on track. Many months to go. Crown is known to be the slowest to fill in and may take 12 or more months 1 My hair transplant journey: Eugenix July 18/19 with Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal 3811 Grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 21, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 21, 2023 @caveman you are making a 12 month assessment of a 5 month result thus far. Everything is looking perfect. all you need is patience as the hairs continue to grow and mature. Wait until you hit months 8-10 and then 12!

Senior Member SLA Posted March 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 @cavemanit is looking quite good and it is ONLY 5 months! Much more time for lots of growth. Just let the top keep growing and only cut the sides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member airporteffect Posted March 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 Right on track. Eugenix hits these out of the park all day and I'm sure the density will flow in over the next few months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member caveman Posted April 10, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks for the positive feedback and reassurance everyone! I am coming up on 6 months soon so will be posting some updates in the coming week or so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member caveman Posted April 10, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 @Gatsby thank you. You’re totally correct that I am getting ahead of myself with the assessment and yearning for the 12 month results to magically appear but I will continue to be patient and remain positive about the improvements to come!

Senior Member MazAB Posted April 10, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 The 2 hair and 3 hair grafts will start sprouting the 2nd and 3rd hair after the 5 month mark typically. Each hair in a graft has a 3 month cycle, so if you are on track it would take 9 months to see a 3 hair graft give back all 3 hairs, and 12 months for a 4 hair graft. Beard hairs take longer of course. Than with thickening and maturing add another 3 months, so you could see full maturity by month 15. Bottom line, you're looking great at this stage. Just keep the faith in the process brother 🙏 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member caveman Posted April 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2023 @MazAB thank you brotha! This is literally the exact information I’ve been searching everywhere for! Even asked eugenix. I knew I could count on you to bless us with this. So, I’ve definitely got a decent amount of improvement yet to come. Appreciate you my man 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member CharlesBarkley Posted April 11, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 11, 2023 This is looking very good. Your beard grafts could give you more than 5000 grafts. Did you consult on this? How many do they think in Eugenix that you could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member caveman Posted April 29, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 29, 2023 @CharlesBarkley to be honest bro I’ve got no idea how many I can get from my beard..I didn’t ask that directly. I did ask how many I can get from my scalp donor but they recommend to wait for the full growth of this procedure before determining that. Idk. Lol. If you check out the first few pictures I posted, you can check out what taking 500 grafts looks like. They took it all from my neck and it looked like 5% of the hair on my neck or less. If they wanted to, they can use up all the neck beard lol. I’ll bring it up to them and report back but I’d guess they can def get a couple thousand from the beard. That being said I really don’t wanna tarnish my beard at all so going up into the actual beard would be last option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member caveman Posted May 6, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 So this is about 1 week out from 7 months. I’ll leave another update in a couple weeks as I see changes. Overall things are coming along! I hope the midscalp thickens up a bit. An issue I’m having is my actual hair is like dry, frizzy, with split ends and a rough texture. Anyone know of any hair serums or masks that could help with that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SLA Posted May 8, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 8, 2023 Definite progress, @caveman- Things will be continuing to progress in the coming months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen many good results from Eugenix so I'm not sure what went wrong here? The crown looks diffuse with few coarse beard hairs sticking up. I hope your result will be better mate. This guys result is not good, because 40% of grafts they used was beard grafts which in his case had bad characteristics. His beard hair are grey and wavy. He colored his beard black and we see it in final result, but he didn't color his hair on the crown, so we see some weird grey and wavy hair. Sometimes just beard grafts are not good for HT and certainly not in such huge amount. 1 My first Hair Transplant - Eugenix 3514 Grafts (720 grafts on the temples) - Dr Priyadarshini Das Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member caveman Posted July 6, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2023 @GeneralNorwood hey buddy thanks for checking out my post! Here is an update. I am right around 9 months post surgery. I am definitely seeing my hair growing out way faster and longer than before. Some density improvement is also visible but I find that I am still using toppik most of the time I go out or do things. I will be meeting Dr. Pradeep tomorrow so we can discuss progress and potentially going for touch up on hairline, mid scalp, and lateral humps. of course the crown was not covered densely the first time so we will also discuss goals and possibility of adding grafts there. I specifically want to modify the hairline. I don’t know if I want lower or not but the left temple point seems super far back. Even my parents are saying that I should see if I can touch those spots up. I am happy with where I am at with this procedure but see room for improvement!!! let me know what you guys think and if there’s any suggestions for helping my hairline match my face/ any specific areas that I should address. also these pictures were taken after I used shampoo and conditioner. I had toppik in there before I took a shower and I checked to see if there was any remaining and I did not find any. However, I will not use toppik for a few days and take some more pictures to confirm that these are representing the results properly. Finally, I have added some less flattering angles to the best of my abilities to make sure my results are fully transparent. Of course I don’t wear my hair that way but it is just to show where I may want to add density. Ideally I would like to wear my hair forward and have a bit more volume density in the areas I mentioned above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end, HT is an illusion of having hairs. But in harsh light scalp might be exposed. You still have three- five more months. Crown will be much better within next months, best wishes. And do let us know regarding your consultation with Dr. Pradeep 1 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐱 / 𝐃𝐫.
