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)

Looks great mate. I was also at Dr Yaman last july - It seems that you also didn't have so much shedding, am I right? I didn't have much either, curious whether this is to do with Dr Yamans implanter tool - any thoughts?

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.

Without knowing any additional details of what happened it could be simply the Dr and tech discussing what to do which is normal. For example when I was having my FUE done, as they remove a graft they would place it down and then remove the next one and place that one down next to the first, etc creating a small pile of grafts. Then the Dr would say something like "Ok. Let's get them in solution before they dry out" and the tech would pick them all up and take them. Or he'd say something like "Squirt some solution on these" while they are still taking some grafts out and placing them in the pile. So it could have been just some simple conversation between them about what's going on. As I said I don't have any other details on our specific issue, but if that's what it sounded like then it's totally normal. You want them talking to each other about how best to take care of your grafts.

 

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.

Really no way to be 100% sure until the growth starts coming in. But if you went to a reputable clinic, the chances are on your side. I’m guessing it’s h&w since you said a tech extracted and some other clues. From what I’ve read they run like a Swiss watch there. Try to take it easy and enjoy the ride.

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?
