    I wore a bandanna every time I went outside for the first week or so. Its comfortable and doesn't hurt the grafts.

    Nice work. I look forward to the updates

    It looks good as is to me.

    Looking good! Nice to see the update.

    Hi Stinger, there is already a night and day difference from pre-op. You should definitely see more growth though in the next couple months. Personally, I would start experimenting with length at this point. There will be a certain length and style that looks best once you find it.

    He must be thrilled!

    Nice!

    I think the donor actually looks good for only 25 days out. From what I read about the lichen planopilaris condition, its good that you've been diagnosed and started the treatment.

    I looked at your pics. I agree with gillenator about keeping the area sprayed with saline. It looks like the bleeding stopped but its hard to see the scalp underneath. I still wouldn't worry. Most likely no missing graft but at the end of the day, one or two isn't a big deal.

    I've had that happen after my procedures. In retrospect I was stressing for nothing. I called the clinic and sent in pictures and worried a lot. All was fine in the end. If you lost a graft you would probably be able to see it on close inspection and maybe also be able to see a hole where it came from. Most likely you didn't lose a graft. But even if you did, it's not the end of the world. It won't affect your overall result.

    Nice!

    Hi Stinger, those are good early signs! I'm no doctor but even upside down, Id say thats hair, lol. I'm thinking your 4 month update will show thick dark hair.
  14. Levrais
    Month two is always the worst but the color looks good in your case. Im looking forward to your month 3 update

    You should start feeling little bristles in the next couple weeks. You feel them before you can see them.

    So this means the hard part is officially over. Nothing but growth ahead!

    Looking good stinger. Not all the grafts will shed. The donor is looking great. When do you go back to work?

    Hi Stinger, I just saw this thread. Very nice write up. I had the exact same experience at the clinic. That's an incredible amount of grafts for a 2 day fue. I think the design looks great and I look forward to following your progress.

    The scabbing looks normal to me.

    Hi Stinger, I've tried rogaine in the past and didn't notice any significant improvement from it and I ended up getting side affects. I know it does work well for some though. The doc didn't give me an absolute number of future grafts available but he suggested that my next op he would use 800-1000. After that I probably wouldn't use anymore unless there were a drastic need.

    Hi Yonex, Thanks for the feedback. I think Ive had somewhere around 2000 total in the crown. Most of them are on the upper part of the crown. I have tried propecia and believe that I had some sides from it so I stopped using it. This was a few years before my HT.

    Hi All, Here are a few pics to show how I look these days. I've been buzzing it short lately as that is the look I like best. I'm at 2 years post op from my last procedure. I was planning to go back for more crown work and some touch ups this year but decided to wait until next year.
  23. Levrais
    Tigerkat, if I were you I would do some in person consults with a few HT docs to get an accurate assessment and some advice on your options as others have suggested. In person they can do a density test of your donor area. I agree with the other posters not to rush into having a procedure and there is certainly no harm in waiting. But, I would want to get professional opinions early on to have a better idea what to expect.

    I think the donor looks fine for this stage. It takes a while to fully heal but when it does, you will probably not be able to notice that anything has been done.

    Slugger, I was in the same situation as you with receding in the front at first then eventually thinning in the crown. Its an individual decision obviously but I decided to go for it and have been glad I did. My hair loss has continued because I don't want to take the meds. So, Ive had more than one procedure. I would be bald by now if I hand't and no regrets so far. Make sure you research a lot of clinics and don't be afraid to travel if the best one isn't close. You mention pounds so I assume you are based in the UK. If so there are lots good clinics in countries near by.
