Thought I would post up my one month pics...I should just make a blog..anyways here they are:

I am wearing a bit of toppik in these, in attempts to cover up the redness. Donor area's have almost healed up 100%, I would say I have lost about 60%-70% of the grafts due to shedding..some are continuing to hold on however.

Thanks

Here is my right side, I feel like there might be some minor shockloss above the temple area...but nothing too serious. Also note, this side had a bit more grafts put in it since it was always uneven.

Be careful using Toppik so soon after surgery. If you notice any signs of inflammation, stop using it. There are true stories of patients having poor yield from using concealers too soon.

trans,

I never heard of this. But if it's true, I think our community would be interested in the evidence that supports this claim.

Bill, I've been told this by one reputable doctor, who will go unnamed. He said it's happened a couple of times, and the poor yield was due to an inflammatory response from the concealer.

Why risk it?

lol, why would he go "unnamed"? As opposed to standing by his assertion, which I would think he actually believes in and believes to be true.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

trans,

I see no reason why not to mention the doctor's name. It would be interesting to get his/her input on the matter and what evidence he/she's seen to support his/her belief.

Best wishes,

Bill

I'm not going to pull a doctor into a discussion without his permission...just the way I am. It'll most likely invite attacks, attempts to discredit,..you know the game. It's just a word of caution. Take it fwiw.
