Hi All,

Sorry for staying away - I've been busy with work lately and the "do" hasn't really been exciting enough to show off

In any case, here are some pics from 1 Month and 1.5 Month post-op. The scar is difficult to spot, but still has some redness left but I haven't taken any pics recently. Look for those in the 2 month update.

The transplanted hair are always expected to fall off but I still have some hair left which must mean I haven't had much (or very little) shock loss. What do you guys think?

Also, the pimples have started showing up. Is this too early? Just the right time? Too late?

Had one question for those of you who have used concealers and other options - I have an event in December during which I would like to hide the baldness on top as much as I can. Looking at my pictures, what options would you guys recommend? I've started looking into Dermmatch - any thoughts?

Please feel free to comment. Thanks all!

TheKman, you are right where you should be at this stage. You are officially in the holding pattern known as the doldrums. So, sit back, rid yourself or mirrors, and let the waiting begin.

Pimples have been the bain of my journey thus far. Yours are showing up about the same time mine did. I am about one month ahead of you and enjoy pimples everyday still. I think I am going to begin naming them the same way we name hurricanes every hurricane season!!

TheKman,

Everything looks completely normal at this stage, even the extended postoperative redness.

The next couple months may seem to crawl, especially as you wait for your new head of hair to grow in.

But new hair growth is a gradual process, so try to avoid scrutinizing it in the mirror daily, if you can

Keep us posted on your progress.

Best wishes,

Bill

Thanks for the comments guys. Yep, wish I could get rid of the mirrors...they are all over my house. I'm trying to keep as busy as I possibly can. Here's hoping the next 2-4 months go by quicker than the last 2.

I hope the next couple of months go faster too. I just told my gf that I was tired of the wait and want to start seeing results already!! Months seem to last infinitely longer than normal...

Kman:
Great strategy to keep yourself busy. The next thing you know new hair will be all over the place. I did the same as you before my HT. I kept myself so busy that i did not have time to think and have anxiety about HT.
Keep posting your progress. Happy growth.
