Senior Member HairDew Posted April 27, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 27, 2017 Not allowed to wear a hat flying back home. No hats for the first two weeks I believe. I was a little worried about this as well but once you've been through it you don't actually care. There must have been 15 other people in the airport who had had procedures and 3 on my actual flight. It's a few hours of your life and you'll never see them again. Some people asked me about and were intrigued. People care less than you think. Thanks, although I will probably feel too self-conscious, I guess I'll have to suck it up.

Regular Member Radiogaga Posted April 27, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted April 27, 2017 I've been mailing asmed office and they advised that they provide a hat? So this isn't the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JayLDD Posted April 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've been mailing asmed office and they advised that they provide a hat? So this isn't the case? They provide a hat, but it's not exactly fashionable and the best approach in my opinion it to take things slow, get on the flight last if need be and let the people in the airport see it if they want. If anything the shock of some less subtle humans is a good source of amusement. Just watch out for yourself not to bump it.

Senior Member baldlivesmatter Posted April 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've been mailing asmed office and they advised that they provide a hat? So this isn't the case? My doc provided a surgeon's cap which did the trick quite nicely. Gotta be careful with hats that rest on the grafts, as they could hinder blood flow. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DEB1982 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've been mailing asmed office and they advised that they provide a hat? So this isn't the case? You are right they do provide a hat, an odd hat it is as well. But I was told to not wear it until my scabs had come off. Too risky a day after surgery to have a hat rubbing against grafts or cutting of circulation. You think it's going to be a big deal that people can see you but I assure you that you won't care once you are there. You're focus will be on protecting those hairs, not what others are thinking of you.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 3, 2017 20 Weeks Post Op Same as before in that the hair line is becoming really well defined now but am just lacking the density. I'm still at only 4 and a half months so I'm hoping that over the next two months it will all come through as can still see gaps where there were hairs transplanted. My head has been itching lots over the last week so I'm going to take this as a sign that things are still happening. It is definitely improving and with a little hair fibres I can make it look really well. I don't really use them though unless I have a big meeting and only a little on the crown. Still feeling very impatient as want to be able to see the final result but I guess everyone goes through that.

Senior Member YouOnlyLiveOnce Posted May 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2017 My advice is still the same and to try and hang in there! Take into consideration the pictures that you're posting. You seem to be posting honest flattering and non-flattering pics. Most people only post the best, so that they receive praise. Give it a couple more months =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 10, 2017 21 Weeks Post Op So it is improving albeit slowly, I think as I'm inspecting so closely every day I'm not noticing. When I look back at older photos it's amazing how far I've come. I would like to have had better density at this point but I suppose we all grow at our own rates. I'm at 5 months next week so will update then and attached comparison photos. I can still see smaller hairs appearing so this is a good thing. I'm getting my hair cut on top for the first time tomorrow so maybe this will even it out a bit more. I still speak to Asmed once a week and they assure me everything is going as it should be.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just had my hair cut at a hairdressers for the first time in years. I used to get a mobile hairdresser to do it as didn't want people to see my actual hair line. Not only was it such a nice feeling but having the hair all cut shorter has made me realise just how far my hair has come and I'm starting to feel much more confident that in another few months this will be a great result. It's aloe vera gel in my hair if you were wondering. Was told by Asmed that it's fine to use.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2017 5 Months Post Op So it was officially 5 months yesterday. I'll stick to doing my weekly updates until month 6 and then switch to monthly as things seem to be gaining some momentum now. But I have posted two photos below so you can see where I am. I can see a lot more hairs coming through so I am hoping for the density and thickness to change a lot over the next month.

Senior Member DEB1982 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2017 22 Weeks Post Op Not much more to report. Some days I think it is getting better. Other days I think it hasn't improved. Whatever is happening, it's happening slowly! The crown has definitely improved from where I started, as has the front to be honest but I still am a long way from where I want to be. It's hard to see if any new hairs are growing because of the other hairs now.
