hey congratulations on your recovery

only the best!

Today I woke up through out the night with an itchy head. Had to keep spraying water onto it. Other than that it was a day filled with watching Movies..Looking forward to 2morrow.

YES! any time you feel like itching, SPRAY!

looks good

good luck

I'm not saying about receding hairline but that the hair in the donor area are more thick than the hair that were originally in the hairline that are instead fine. what do you think about that?

yes

the diameter of the individual hairs do play a role in the detectability of HT especially in the hairline

can the diameter of these hair become finer as the years pass?

SURE

it may take many, many years or not at all, since these hairs are less affected by the miniaturization associated with DHT

Ferudini did a fantastic job on your scar

i know about the 9 month wait too!

But it looks worth it

congrats

given your styling desires then you probably will be fine at 50 grafts/cm

no matter the density you get, HT gives the ILLUSION of the same density as non balding areas

hair caliber per unit and diameter of shaft factor into this illusion as well

NOT just grafts/cm2

that said, trying to achieve higher densities than 40-50 grafts/cm2 will most likely yield a lower % of surviving grafts, aka wasted grafts.

so better idea to go for 2 HT each at 40 grafts/cm. this is the optimum way to prepare for HTs in general.

with "the second/third,etc. pass," it's the best chance of high grafts survival rate and an opportunity to adjust the design and areas that need more coverage.

better to go into the HT procedure knowing that you will need at least two to satisfy your cosmetic needs but might get lucky and only require one. it will also put you at ease to know that whatever isn't satisfactory to you from the first procedure, can always be adjusted in the second.

good luck

it doesn't matter which session has more grafts

that said

there is a higher graft survival rate per session at lower levels

that is, it is more likely to have more grafts surviving %-wise during a 2800 graft session than a 3800 graft session.

So even though you might need more grafts in the future to satisfy your cosmetic needs,

don't fret about not having more grafts transplanted in the first session

in the long run, better to do in multiple sessions

that's normal for shock loss to occur in donor area even at 2 months

it happened to me

and it all grew back by 7 months

stay on the meds

the first 6 months of HT are rough

hang tough brah

Don't mess with them. When the hair starts growing in a few months it will push out any unattached grafts. Have you called your doctor's office?

 

Just wash your hair, style it, and try and ignore it for a few months! :rolleyes:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

listen to this guy

good info from your doc

(thinnest is @ 6-8 weeks)

yeah if you didn't buzz the donor area at all then you have some shock loss

not bad though

i see that your recipient area had hair. i wonder if he transplanted around these or thought they were miniaturized and just transplanted into the area fully

looks very clean

no pimples!

they are too few to care about and not in a place that is considered DHT resistant

PLUCK THEM

try romaine 5% for men

YES FOR MEN

( don't get pregnant )

also try cortisone shots into the scalp

need to see a dermatologist for this

WOW!

great brow lift!

the scar was very thin!!!

now with the FUE, this is going to look like a NW1

congrats

missed this post

WOW!

you must be stoked brah

congrats

oh good keep us posted on what he says

also considering Feriduni for FUE

Why there is no common consensus about shampoo?

is there a survey to analyze the best way to shampoo?

can't answer the WHY's

only that there is not one

so that leaves us to LISTEN TO OUR DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS exclusively

Been through one myself and i can tell you the LESS YOU DO TO THE GRAFTS IN THE FIRST WEEK, THE BETTER

I read this once from a top HT surgeon: Hair is deliberately transplanted at lower than naturally-occurring densities and so we depend on some illusion to make it look fuller than it actually is. Transplanted hair will always look fuller when 2-3 inches long, dry, separated, and styled to layer like shingles on a roof. It will always look thinner when cut short, spiked up, parted through, wet or clumped with product.

this should be a STICKY

that's above average growth for 4 MONTHS

congrats!

could you do the ears first?

maybe the bandages can come off before your HT

that freedom feeling is what it's all about

keep growing!

still best clinic b&a pics in town

i'd drop 200,000 for results like that! lol!

wow!

looking great!

you're the new poster child for your doc

congrats!

gott astay on the propecia and minox for a full year (...and the rest of your life)

to see where you are

from the pics you look like a diffuse thinner

though there could be some shed from your recent start of propecia and minox

if you responded the first time you will respond the second,

gotta wait a full year

Nice!

can't get better than that

from great hair to movie-star hair
