Your 1st-transplant hair density/ hairline looked amazing. Dr. Hasson felt you needed 2300?

2 months..

All the extractions at H&W are done by their techs. All the amazing before & after FUE photos from that clinic were extractions/ implants done by the techs. Likewise with Rahal clinic.

Sorry I am behind on posting. 30 days out. Had some shedding over the last 1.5 weeks. Lots of tingling in the front of the my scalp.

There are more hasson results posted than wong. Is there a reason this?

are both not world class HT surgeons?

21 day update. some light shedding (was expecting more)

Also curious to hear about your shedding Matthew86 as it seems to be minimal.

Thanks gentlemen! I contacted the clinic and they said my procedure went smoothly and they have never had any issues with prior patients' grafts being compromised prior to implantation. Its basically day 14 post op and I finally gave myself a shower and touched my recipient area. Lots of scabs, I am sure my grafts will start to shed; nothing has really fallen out so far it seems. I will definitely be posting 3-4 month updates. (see attached pic: 14 days post op- sorry for the two hair lengths, the recipient area was trimmed shorter pre-op). The grafts look like they have grown.

Thanks for your comments BeHappy. I imagine with the number of procedures done by this clinic that my grafts are should be okay. I will shoot them a quick email and ask. Anyways here is the most recent recipient site photo.

Thank you, I am probably being neurotic. If the graft(s) was/were dead, would they not fall out pretty early on? Also can toppik and derm-match be used 14 days out from the procedure, provided I wash it off at night?

I recently had 1500 FUE (temple and hairline) done at a reputable clinic in North America. The FUE extraction was done by a tech (Who has worked for the surgeon/ clinic since the early 1990s). During the extraction, the surgeon checked in periodically and made mention to ensure my graft were better soaked in the medium while they awaited the second tech to view them under the microscope and prepare for insertion. I was face down on the table and had taken an ativan prior to procedure, so I don't know exact timings. Am I being paranoid or could grafts have died prior to even implantation because of this? (i.e not "soaked" properly, or awaiting the second tech- who was in and out of the room?) This clinic has a great reputation on here and I paid good money. I have attached me post day 7, no shedding or loss; I saw the surgeon post day 1,2,3 and he said everything looks good. Will there be no way to know until the 12 month mark?

First time poster, long time lurker. This forum has helped me effectively treat my mpb (jumped on the BIG 3 as soon as I saw thinning and the results have been excellent- see display picture; rocking a pretty thick NW2ish) Back when I was putting together my regimen, I purchased a bottle of: Perfect Image Solutions, Men's Minoxidil 15% Azelaic 5% Hair regrowth topical, 60mL. I know its has been recalled, but I have one bottle (unopened) for sale if any of the vets or users and still adamant about using it. I am currently using the 5% and its working well enough for me. Just PM an offer; I don't remember what I paid for it..and we can work something out. Thanks again for all the help.
