Guys,

I've updated my blog with my 1 month pic.

I'm not super worried, but I've been browsing the Armani blogs and they worry me to be honest.

My biggest concern is my sides. The hair is slowly filling in this area but very very slowly. The back filled in very quickly but the area that he harvested from the sides is still noticeably lacking in hair.

I'd obviously love for the redness to be gone, but I think I have another couple of weeks.

Abe

P.S. Pretty much all of my grafts have shed at this point. I think there are some sticking around on the right side.

hi Abe,

thanks for the updates!!!

if i were you, i wouldn't worry so much at this point and time. sides look like they are going through some shock loss. just ride it out for few more months and don't stress too much about Armani's results. Umar is not Armani and vice versa.

placebo effect or murphy's law is important at times like this

cheers

Hi Abe - great update. I had my HT procedure the day after you and I'll admit that I have been luckier with the redness. But I can see that your new hairline will look awesome. Heal well mate.

are you using anything for the redness? Theres gotta be something out there... it seems like Dr Lindseys patients all seem to have no redness a week after dure to whatever theyre are given to combat redness

Acrobaz - Thanks! Looks like you will have a great result as well. I've been keeping an eye on your progress, thanks for all the updates.

Tootall - I'm not using anything. My doc said not to use anything except the minox that he gave us. I'll shoot him an email today and ask again.

Abe,
Where are you using the minox?

Leeson,

I was using it directly on the recip area, over the last week I've switched to putting it behind the recip area in hopes to not aggravate the redness any more.

This is truly the worst part of a transplant. Maybe because of the density of the fue it will remain red longer?

I'm sure you'll be fine. I don't even bother w/ minox; it irritates my scalp and the redness would last for around a week before subsiding (from just 1-2 applications).
