I am 2 months 29 days post op. I applied some toppik, Will update some quality pics without toppik soon. So far looks promising ..still more to grow !!

Thank you very much folks !!!!

Im on day 16th now. Still have those crusts/scabs . Sutures were removed and slightly releived in the donor area..

Regarding shedding i'm puzzled , i'm losing some of the transplanted hair around hairline and temples along with the scabs.. But i read shedding means losing the native hair or miniatured around the transplanted hair ? Then why does we lose transplanted hair and some times the hair i observed has the root like bulge in the bottom . So does those hair with the root grow back or not ? everytime i see the changing hairline and temples im worrying guess its normal but donno.. ive been reading different things like cell stays there or transplant hair as been rejected etc ??

Also this is my post op day 8 pic . I read and was told its normal to have ridges, valleys after few days, plzz throw some light , does anything looks odd ?

Thanks.

Thanks Sean !!

I m gonna get some b-complex today ! I know u hav gone for fue , but typically how long does the donor area stays sore or numb for FUT . Mine is still bothering me , i cant really sleep well on my back laying my head down , everytime it touches the pillow i can feel the pain around scar area like something poking . Now im on my post op day 8 ! Are there any tips for fast healing of donor area ?

Happy healing jacob..I'm sure urs gonna be a winner !!

Lol .. Yup vitamin E .

Thanks for the suggestions regarding the supplements, i will definitely add those to my list...

Thanks everyone !!

Today is my post op Day 3 .Swelling is stilll there. Better than yeserday, I have chubby cheeks now, it doesn't looks like a swelling to new people who didnt seen me b4.Now, I just look like a fat kid with chubby cheeks lol..

I added some post op day 3 pics !!

@Sean Thanks and Can u suggest some of your supplement regime ?, i saw lot of pills in ur regime, does it working for u ? I m on propecia since 2 months and gonna continue the rogaine after day 14..

Thank u thank u !! Hopefully everything goes as i expected , i know waiting is the toughest part, will update u guys regularly, also need to talk about adams airport inn thats where i am statying, its close to dr.rahal clinic. $10 cab drive, dr rahal has a friendly regular cab driver, no worries he is the only one who will take u everyday for pick up and drop off, so no need to worry about your wierd looks etc..Hotel is cheap $100 after taxes , room looks really clean n good, there is no microwave thats the only complaint i can see..

I would agree with Bill and veryone. She should be definitely recommended , i've been reading about her experiences since so long. Would be so nice to see as one of our recommended coalition doctor !!

Hello Everyone,

First of all thanks to all community members, moderators and active community personal ,your experiences and guidance, influenced me to go for a hair transplant . Your valuable inputs and guidance helped me a lot to make a wise selection of the surgeon.

I am not gonna go through all the details which are very well explained and posted by the senior members like Sean, Capilli , newhair, nomore hats etc.

My goal is to restore the hairline and work on my temple points. I was very happy with the hair line design suggested by dr.rahal ! I cant ask for a better than that. Dr. rahal quoted me 2800 thru online consultaion to attain my desired result and said that number is more than enough in person on surgery day.I requested him if he can/wants he can go as many grafts as he can to give me a better result and we finally fixed to 3k grafts on my request.

Surgery Day Feb 29th :

I was in the clinic around 6:10 mike(head nurse) gave me some paper work to fill in.. Its 12 page paper work. Then dr.rahal met me and took to his office room and designed the hairline and finalized on the grafts, mike took the pre op pics. All set for surgery and everything went smooth then on..

You can refer to sean or other members posts which is a similar experience to mine so im not going in detail..

Dr. rahal is very caring, careful and make sures everything is going fine throughout the surgery.He will take the strip and makes the incisions, and his staff will plant the grafts. His Staff are really amicable and workaholics. Head Nurse mike is really very helpful he will take care of you like the way a mother take cares of her newborn baby !! He is so nice..

done with the day one cleaning.. Swelling starts kick in just before my first cleaning. I saw in the mirror and for a second thought who da heck are you.. Lol ,, I look like alein now.. Had some pain in the donor area. Pain killers gave me some relief to sleep..

These are the post op pics after day1 cleaning (next day of surgery) .

For post op day 1 pics check my album !!

Congrats jacob..... How many grafts did u get ? I saw u in the lobby .. Looks like u dont have swelling yet..

I got 3060 grafts, pretty much satisfied with my hairline and temple work. My donor area is hurting real bad and swelling already kicked in !!

I am staying up to 5th. I will give a detailed write up in 1-2 days..

Yup 1 day left ! Donno y i was not excited or nervous, i was feeling like there is nothing 2mrw..:confused: Will see u at clinic @6:30, i was at adams inn its good so far, donno hw far from the clinc.. getting food is the only issue, i am already bored with the delivery food !!

Hoping for someone to cancel there foxbar reservation Lol !!:rolleyes:

Lol .. I am sorry for your deposit ! I am in the same boat I lost clOse to 3k last month . I missed the flight N everything followed lost deposit , flight fare for 2 people.. I won't complain because according to rules it's my fault . Felt lil down hw everything went.Anyhow how happy to get the surgery date again !

Check my album i just added some.. they were taken like 4 months ago.. Now my hair looks much worse compared to those..

I wish i can stay at foxbar since i am staying 5 days post op it makes me free and comfortable to walk around the house but it got booked. Now i have to stick to my hotel room and need to get a cab everyday for cleaning session.

Yup, hope everything goes well for both of us. I'm pretty sure i will see you on surgery date.

Nice result..

Just wondering why does the doc doesnt have a HT for himself !!

I am sorry. I always look at the docs hair tooo and thinks did he hav one for himself if not why ??

I might stay at adams inn mostly. Foxbar got Booked:( . I will reach ther by 28th morning and stay up to 5th march post op !!

Lol .. Its not wrong and my surgery is with dr.rahal . I was booked for 2800 FUT may b more, guess its not a big thing for such a experienced staff to do deal with FUT's which they do everyday. I wish i was the only one too, but its ok, not a big deal at all .

Best of luck jacob.. I have my surgery on wednesday too may b mine after urs or both @ same time !! Donno the time though..

All the best jacob.. Hope everything goes smooth for us .... When is ur surgery date ? I have my surgery on feb 29th with dr rahal for 2800 grafts r may b more.

I planned to stay in canada for 6days.. Dont wanna walk like a alien in airports ! Foxbar got booked ..So i need to stay in some hotel now..

Thanks Sean for your Inputs and detailed report of your HT. Its very helpful.. I will use your thread as a guide for my HT with Dr.Rahal in Jan.

By the way your Hairline was really awesome. Thats the hairline i always dreamed about and looking for. Hope dr.rahal will give it to me. I will show your picture and request for a similar hairline . Waiting for your progress pics !!

All da Best
