Hi guys, after lot of hesitation and confusion I finally flew down to ahmedabad and got my HT done from Dr. Mahadevia. The count was 1800 grafts. I hope my hair grows really fast. I'm out of town so will post the results/pics on 20th april. It was a strip surgery.
God bless me.

Just a bit of information with my background. I'm 24 and started losing hair at the age of 18. Before my HT I was norwood scale 3. Had a strip done of 1800 grafts with the aforementioned doctor. I was on minodoxil for 7 months. Lets hope for da best. I'll post the pics after 10 days omost probably. Cheers.

Arnolder,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant. Feel free to share your before and surgical photos with us and then update us on your progress. I'm sure we'd all be very interested to see your results when they grow in :-).

Best wishes and happy growing!

Bill

thanks Bill, I'll surely post my results soon.
Just a question, I don't want to wear a cap in my office and covering the transplanted area with my existing hair is a mess and funny looking.
Should I cut down my existing hair to the grafted hair length. Is it risky for the transplanted hair?
Also when should I start with minodoxil. Doc told me after 5 days I can start with that. Is it OK?
How often I should wash my grafted area? I'm doing it twice a day by spraying the area with a johnsons baby shampoo and then spraying it with water and allowing it to dry naturally.
Thanks.

Hey man, my suggestion would be to shave it down to a 1 or 2 clip. Also you mentioned your on minox. Are you on propecia as well? If not, I highly suggeSt you hop on it.....that way you can curb if not stop future hairloss....

Each doctor may have different post op directions for when/how to shampoo or use Minox. My doctor had us shampoo/rinse using a cup not under a spray. He also had us start Minox after 14 days. You might want to discuss your questions with your own doctor though. I wish you the best of luck with your HT!
