3 weeks photos. Many of the grafts presumably fell with the crusts/scabs, and some fell on their own. In very rare cases did I actually see hairs attached to a scab. The hairs (that I could see) mainly appeared fall on their own. I was happy to see there was no follicle or anything on the end of the hairs that fell. The ones that fell looked the same on both ends - the same way a hair would look if you cut it off with scissors.

I'm kind of surprised by how many gray hairs I have, but I guess I am 38...

how many grafts did you have

I have 2822 FUE grafts over 51cm2 area.

Thats great, you would have my hairline density which is around 55 FU/cm2. When I will post my 8 months post op, you would have an idea what is 55% density looks like. I asked for this density as its more natural and growth guaranteed. I didnt want 60% because i know i will end up one day in the future to a NW5 or NW6. So I didnt want to go up 55% in hairline as the rest areas of midscalp and bit of crown i will make sure to achieve 50%. All what I need is some hair that Nanogen fibres will stick into :-)...

How long was the surgery? FUE not FUT? No shaving?

Harari, actually at the hair line Dr. Rahal went to 60% or even higher. He mentioned the average was around 55 but he definitely made it thicker at the hairline, which I could see post-op. He originally planned for 60% with 2500 grafts, and since we got 2822, I imagine he went even a little bit higher.

Yes, I had FUE. It took 12 hours and they buzzed my entire head pre op.

Looking good so far. Your hair seems to grow at a good speed (it looks a lot longer since your two-week update) so hopefully that will mean a lot of growth by summer.
