htrocks

thankyou farmcat. today is the first day i removed cap. using dermmatch for the scar.

thanks KO, I am glad to see my doctor being recommended on this forum.

I have positive post to update you all that i am seeing good growth on the back side where I had severe shock loss.

thankyou for your time KO. Feeling much better. I hope by new year 2015 ,I will be posting only positive growth pics. local HT doctor (not the one who performed my HT) advised me to come and see him in another 1 month. He wanted to see the growth, if it doesnt kick in by then, I could opt for "ACell + PRP" treatment.

I went in for HT#2, after 3 years of doing HT#1. I got a very good result from HT#1. Hoping for great result from the HT#2. and praying that nothing goes wrong in recovery and growing phase.

thankyou KO. you can see a good difference or just a little ?

john boy , pre-op pictures are on my website. please see the link below to my "Hair Growth website"

thankyou all for your kind comments earlier. I am updating my 11 week pictures. i see some small, thin, soft, fibery kind of growth on the top portion of the back of the head. kindly review the pictures to see if you find any growth or I am dreaming...

thankyou for the feedback. I did not see so much shock loss with my first HT. with the second one Its alot. i consulted the doctor and He said that due to the second HT and the scalp being streched tight this might be expected. how ever I havent sent him recent pictures yet. 2 to 3 weeks ago half of it was still available in the past 2 - 3 weeks i lost pretty much all of it. on positivie side , I see lot of tiny bumps looks, I am hoping they are the new hairs ready to break out but I am crossing my fingers.

i have done my HT#2. i have experienced severe shock loss. please review the picture and provide your feedback. do you think i will get all my hair back in the back of the head ?

some of it could be shock loss on your back and its highly unnoticeable for untrained eye. ;-) you should look at my pictures for schock loss, even my daughter can find all the ugly patches. regarding 1 month scabs, its normal and everything will come back. you seem to be recovering pretty well and even your 1 month mark is looking good from my perspective.

Any experts got a chance to review ? I need your input on the shock loss as I did not lose so much after 1st HT.

it may take 3 to 5 months until you lose all the numbness on your head. dont worry you will be fine. He seems to be proven surgeon with lot of good cases. you did the first step right. second step is completely in your hands. very important thing is to take good care and dont bump into anything. most importantly take medication regularly and keep applying minoxidil 2 times a day. since you said you are from chennai, make sure to keep your self to not sweat too much and attract lot of dust etc.. even if you do take shower immediately. if needed 2 times or more in a day if you sweat. good thing is that its past summer now. so hopefully you will have good recovery in winter and dont have to worry too much. all the best... after 7 months... you will be spending lot of time infront of the mirror.

Thankyou Nick

proactive69, congratulations on taking big step. I am sure you will be thrilled with your results. I am one of the first members on this board who got HT done with dr.yv.rao. I am very impressed with my results. first 3 to 4 months is very awkward time , after that you will be very happy. see my blog Hair Restoration Journal for htrocks - 1.5 years Dont neglect your medication. Keep eating good diet. No smoking. make sure you take head baths as prescribed.

Posted my recent picture on my blog. visiting the site after a long time. I have been getting some inquries about how my hair is looking after 1.5 years. Hair Restoration Journal for htrocks - 1.5 years

I have not gotten it examined from my surgeon since I live in United states. I got my HT done during my visit on family vacation. Thanks, yes, its huge improvement for me,so I am not as much concerned right now until I read your post and thought we both were going thru the same thing. I can give a call to my doctors office and find out if this is a normal behavior and update you accordingly.

Yes, I am surprised that HT technology can do such wonders. It took me 3+ years to dare to go under the knife, but I am very glad that I took the bold step.

Thankyou Justone. BTW, I am extremely happy with my results, spending more time infront of the mirror now ;-)

Spacificdude, I am into my 7th month of HT done in hyderabad. even i have some good number of unshed hair follices. when I run my fingers through the scalp, I can feel that unshed hairs are poking . Hopefully all of them shed and I see new hair in their place for more density.

I have posted 6 month update to my profile.

I have posted my 5 month update pics to my profile.

Thankyou, I will keep following your status and updates. I am fairly regular in posting the pictures. I hope to continue that.

Hairybair, I can understand your concern and I wish you good luck for regrowing them back fast. From your pictures on the website, you have come a long way and there is great difference in just 6 months. I like your comment "from bald to balding". what medications are you taking ?
