How I'm feeling about it all... 3 months (ish)

After the procedure I felt on cloud nine for about a week. All that research, time, money and general effort finally paid off - I couldn't quite believe I'd actually gone through with it. Like a lot of others, I was a little disheartened to see the transplanted hairs fall out, and particularly annoying was the FUE graft sites looking a bit red.

It always looks worse to yourself than others. After 3 weeks, I was told by my friends that it looked like I'd had a bad haircut. I didn't mind that, so I felt I could safely go out without a hat. Actually one of the weirdly empowering things is that I don't care so much that I'm looking pretty thin on top when I go out -- because I know that it's going to grow in soon.

I always promised myself I wouldn't get disspirited, disheartened or be impatient. Unfortunately, it's really hard not to be! Unlike a lot of cosmetic procedures where the results are visible pretty much instantly, a hair transplant does take a long time to get going. Now that I've reached the 3 month mark, I'm pleased to see some of the hair growing in (at the front it's very noticeable) but I can't help worrying that the rest of it won't grow. It's stupid, I know - but I am worried about it. One thing I was worried about at the early stages was losing what existing hair I had had on top. So far most of that seems to have re-grown, which is a relief. So I look pretty much as I did before the procedure.

The reason it's silly is because I'd read so many people blogging about how they were worried it hadn't worked - only a few months in. I would scoff and think 'you need to wait at least six months', and annoyingly I'm having to do the same to myself! Hopefully in six months my fears will be set to one side; keep your fingers crossed for me :)
