hi guys, 102 days post op, and so far so good. i cant start to see hairs growing in the hair line and it is slow developing a hair line, hair seems to appear thicker in the recipient area. however today, i scratched my scalp, and clump of transplanted hairs shed and came onto my fingers, id say about 3 time 2 single grafts (6 or so hairs total). they might of been only slightly longer in length compared to when they were first transplanted 14 weeks ago. my question is, how far post op can shedding still occur? is this too late for shedding of transplanted hairs to occur? and if it does occur so far out does this indicate possible future poor growth for those late transplanted hairs that are shedding.? another concern was that some of the hairs do not appear to have grown any longer but seem to have remained in my scalp the day they were planted. it could be that im wrong and they have already shed and regrown. if anyone can shed some light for me and perhaps share there experience this far out post op many thanks fellow trans planters chael

Mine was at about 3 to 4 days post of and the itching was also driving me mad. I just soldiers on through it and it went away by out about 10 days post op

Thanks for the response guys. At this stage it's only been 2 pimples. They both had a life span of about 1 day and healed.

8 weeks post op, and just above my hair line where most of the grafts went, i big pimple formed, with center full of puss... another one today when i got home from work never ever had a pimple like this in my scalp... when do pimples start developing? does this mean some growing activity has started under my scalp... in your experiences, how long after your op did they start appearing and for how long did they last? many thanks fellow transplanters

Mate I had my op October 6, 1800 fut. went back to work 24th oct. No on had noticed anything as I kept my same hairstyle. Even though my hair line was much stronger. Now my hair looks just as it did pre op.. 2-3 months is plenty of time!!

My dr was telling me that 1-1.25 mg of finersteride every 2nd is enough. He believes it is not completely necessary to take it daily but has no objections to it either. His main reasons for this statement that the daily dose of finasteride stays in your system for a couple of days.

you can wear a hat so long as its not tight... included in the post op pack was a police style blue hat with "under construction" written on the front i made sure for the first few days if i had to wear a hat i would wear it very loose and not have it pressed down on my scalp. truckie style hats are quite good for this as they have plenty of room on the top of the hat that will never touch your head.

I've been using the foam version from 14 days post op onwards. Previously in the past I was on liquid solution. And it caused lots of greasiness and irritation. The foam on the other hand is great and the issues I was previously having with the liquid version are certainly less prominent.

From the research I have done on this website, the general consensus is generally always 2 weeks. My dr suggested me to start from 2 weeks onwards also. I've been doing it and so far so good. No irritation or itchines of the scalp.

Hi guys, Just wondering how long it was after your transplant you resumed use of medicated shampoos like nioxin and nizoral. ? I've remained cautious and stuck to baby shampoo for now. 26 days post op. Many thanks Chael,

Hi guys, Everything going very smooth, and scalp is healed well. No pinkness really that I can see. I've been using baby shampoo since 10 days post op. I would like to know on your opinions when it is safe to start using medicated shampoos. Nioxin/ nizoral. Prior my transplant I was on nioxin for about 10 months. I would like to start again but thought I would just ask and get some opinions on how long one should wait after a HT to start using stronger shampoos?? Any comments and feedback would be appreciated Thanks Chael.

Im on my 3rd day of biotin now. Taking the vcaps 5000 mcg from "NOW" also. I take one daily for now, might up the dosage slowly..

16 days post op FUT 1800 grafts with dr Knudsen healing has gone amazingly well. redness and scabs were gone within 10 days. now its just the waiting game. i have to say not alot of confidence in the aussie hair transplant surgeons...

can any dr's give some general advise here? 15 days post op now, and would like to know if it is wise to get back onto my Nioxin shampoo and conditioner which i was on 10 months prior transplant. for now i am continuing to use baby shampoo. have been doing so since 11 days post op.
