hi, as far as i remember, there was a discussion about the time it takes to shed after a ht in the german forum, i am member of, too. It was reported very often, that the patients who had (extremelly) early shedding like you, had fast regrow and very good mid-results at 6 months. of course this is no scientific arguement or something, but this is what we experienced in many cases on the german board. good for you. so there is absolutely no cause to be worried for you. by the way, i experienced the ost of 1 graft after the 1st day of my hair transplant (doctor replaced it). there is real (!) bleeding. if there is no bleeding, you haven`t lost a graft for sure. just relax, good growth to you, logo77

hi, i am quite new to this forum. i got a friend request and wanted to confirm, but when i push "confirm", this message appears "You don't have permission to do this task". whats wrong?? best wishes log

hi, i have had 2 fues, about 4250 grafts total. my donor looked quite normal 2 weeks after 2nd surgery. i gues hair grows about 5 mm in 2 weeks, so this length is no problem in my case. i have had average donor density before my hair transplants.

hi jotronic, your words are very calming for me, thanks a lot. your explanation sounds logical to me, i can chill out now. this hair transplant is my 2nd, the first turned out not that good in terms of growth rate and design(appearance, so i am little bit "paranoid" that something could go wrong with this one. btw, i saw the teaser pics of your 3rd (i think you wrote 3rd) transplant with dr wong on another forum. unbelievable and outstanding are the only words to say when comparing where you started from. for me, your case is a milestone in hair transplant history. best wishes, logo77

thanks for the answers so far. yes, i am paranoid, i know. but i think this issue could really be a problem, beyond paranioa. i am talking about feet, not meters. 10000 feet is around 3000 meters. as far as i know, the air pressure in commercial airplanes (with in-cabin pressure) is regulated at a level equalent to 8500 feet. so I was 1000-1500 feet beyond this level. there are skiing mountains at 10000 feet, too. people ski there, of course without air-pressurized cabins. but the go up there slowly with mountain train, not airplane. google told me that you should use oxygen when flying more than 10000 feet. we have been at that level only a few minutes, than back to 8000-9000 feet. hmmm, i would feel much more comfortable if a specialist or doctor or someone with experience in flying could tell me that my flight is absolutely nor problem and i should be less paranoid and relax. best wishes logo77

hope you can answer a question, that is worrying me a lot a the moment: i have had a hair transplant 1 month ago. last week, 3 weeks after the transplant, i joined a flight with a relative who is a hobby-pilote. we flew with a small airplane (only 2 seats), that has no pressurized cabin, we also had no extra-oxygen. we were flying at an altitude of around 8500 - 9500 feet, going up to 10000 feet for a few minutes. the whole flight lasted around 40 minutes. during the descent, i experienced some very strong pain in my face above the eyebrowns. this was probably caused by the change of air pressure (although i never had this pain when flying on "normal" commercial airplanes with in-cabin-pressure-systems). this made we wonder whether this flight was a very bad idea regarding my hair transplant 3 weeks ago. my 2 worries are: is it possible that the lower aeration (oxygen) in my blood at around 9500-10000 feet could have caused a critical shortage of oxygen to my transplanted grafts and damaged or even "killed" them? is it possible that the fast change in air pressure that caused my headache also could have brought disadvantage to my grafts? i am very very worried about this issue. thank you very much for answers ps: of course i asked my physician about this, too: he thinks it is fine, but who knows as it is a very "special situation". best wishes logo77
