Whatever he did, he does look a whole lot better. That said, I hope he never wins another title again.

It also thins the blood so you must refrain from smoking prior to ht, otherwise it could get messy...

It might be tough, but if you post some pics the community can help you a little more with your question

Great stuff man!

Hey man, don't worry too much about what your recipient area looks like this early. At 5 weeks I looked brutal as well and it can take quite sometime before things heal and your dome starts to look normal. I would look in the mirror obsessively and truth is its not very healthy as its gonna take a couple months to see real change start to develop. The pimples are a good sign I think. I'm at 6 months now and couldn't be happier with everything that has transpired, but at 2 months I thought that I would never Get to where I'm at right now. Chill out and don't get too obsessed. Early days man. Good luck!

That's about the best medical therapy your gonna get. Otherwise spanker is right about shaving your head

Did you stop propecia because you had side effects? Other than propecia you could give rogaine a try. I think many on this forum would say that at 24 you're still relatively young for a ht as of this time.

I'm having same problem on my iPad. Regardless, congrats chrisdav, photos look great!

I started about 3 weeks after ht on recipient area and everything was fine

Awesome man, congratulations looks great!

It sucks! But each day you get a little closer to your desired result and after 3-4 months it becomes an afterthought. Stay strong!

Congrats on your first step. Everything you say is exactly what I went through, however I didn't start losing hair till 28 or 29. But at 34 it bothered me so much I pulled the trigger on a ht. I researched for years and I can say absolutely, 100% this was one of the best decisions I've made. For me telling my gf and parents was easy, however they didnt understand why I wanted to go thru with a ht. none of them cared how my hair looked. But we all have hang ups and to get my hair back and move on from thinking about it all the time really is a great thing for me. And it might be a great thing for you. But many people around you may not fully understand. Send an email to jotronic of h&w or mattj from rahal. They will certainly point you in the right direction. Good luck with your decision.

It took me about 2 months to start looking somewhat normal...

I really am not sure about the answer to your question but I think the tattoo artist is permanent where smp fades over time I believe, so if your not happy with your result you can alter it a couple years down the line...I think spex knows a lot about this subject, contact him

I'm not sure about the answer to your question but I will say dr rahal is one of the best hair docs in the world, I'm 100% sure he will not make you more bald...unfortunately the 3 months or so after ht is not a fun time period and you will most likely look worse for a period of time. But than in a few months when all your native and transplanted hair starts coming back it makes it all worth it, IMO. Good luck man!

Maybe 3 months but more than likely 4. It really is gradual and chances are you may not even notice new hairs popping up. I think I noticed hairline taking shape more than small tiny hairs popping thru if that makes any sense. But I implore you not to stare in the mirror everyday, it's easier said than done, but it will drive you crazy...

Dude, I know. It sucks. I got mine out after 10 days and my scar is pretty thin. Take shampoos advice and get yourself a neck pillow, it really is better than pillows. That being said, there's not a whole lot you can do other than wait it out. "That which does not kill us make us stronger." Nietzsche

My hair loss was similar to yours, I had 1350 grafts and am very happy with my result. I think the amount you were quoted will make a significant improvement

I live in nyc and lived in sf for 2 years. San Francisco is awesome! Although the weather may not be Maui, I'll take it over buffalo weather any day...my 2 cents, good luck with your decision!

Looks great spanker. Also looks like you haven't shed many grafts either!

Yes, you will feel much better as soon as staples come out. Good luck!

I have been told that if there's blood, than you may have dislodged a graft. Otherwise I think your in the clear

I think there are many factors as to why Johnny b had such a killer result. 5000 grafts to the frontal third is a big part of it. To fue 5000 is a lot of time and money. Most likely you would have to have multiple sessions. Truth is, I haven't seen many fut surgeries that have had this killer of a result let alone fue, but anything is possible I guess...

Contact dr rahal or hasson and Wong. 2 of the best clinics in the world are in Canada. Good luck man!

Don't believe the hype. Chances are your hair has receded because of genetics. Major league baseball players would be in trouble if sweating in hats caused mpb.
