GaelicDawn

Hi guys,

I'm so sorry for the long delay to giving you an update. There has been a lot going on in my personal life, that i don't really want to get into. If you're interested PM me. I'm still alive, and still have my hair

Just a few normal photos from the last few weeks. I will try and get some decent ones in the next few days. I'm very happy with my hair, and feel like a new man again, Only thing now is the grey hairs

I have attached some random photos of me in the last 1-3 months.

Very good progress GaelicDawn congrats. Im hoping to see more pictures in the coming months.

 

One question and I apologize if you've mentioned this already, but did you have any facial swelling after the procedure? Its something thats normal with FUTs but Im not sure with FUEs

 

thx

Hi okay2land,

I had a little swelling on the forehead and under my eyes for about 2-3 days if i remember.. It went away soon again. Yes it's quite normal with FUE procedures. I will try and get some new photos up soon, the last few months have been very busy for me.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the kind comments. I will try and get more HD looking photos soon.

One thing to note, the beard hairs that were used have blended in very well with my normal hair. At first, i thought they were "wirey" looking, however in the last month or so, you wouldn't notice anymore. Overall I am delighted so far with the results, and i'm sure there is more growth yet to follow once they mature.

Sorry for the delay guys, been crazy at work and family stuff. I'm tired enough looking in these photos, damn computers

lol OK OK! Been busy the last few weeks with work, i will get some up tonight or tomorrow i promise!

Hair porn lol!!!!

Hey guys,

thank you so much for all the positive feedback, i appreciate all your kind comments and I'm delighted so far with the results. I feel a new confidence in myself that i haven't felt for years.

I will get some new photos up this week for you all.

October 2013, growth is beginning to pickup

Donor and Crown

Donor is still slightly pinkish when i buzz down to a 3/4. When I leave it grow out a little,you can't notice.

Thanks guys

The last few weeks/months went pretty quick after. I just kept busy with work, and tried not to think of it. However in the last 2 weeks, I'm beginning to take notice of the little things.

I will get some photos up of the Donor area and the crown later this weekend.

Looks like something is beginning to happen

Hi Mate,

 

I underwent HT with Dr Bhatti exactly 1 month after you. As of now I look pretty much same the way I looked Pre Op.

 

Couple of questions for you :

 

1. Have you been applying Minoxidil ? 2%/5% ? which brand ?

2. Have you been taking Finasteride ? Generic/Propecia ? How many times a week ?

3. Are you using Any other non surgical treatments to provide support to your HT ?

 

Cheers!

Hi,

1. Monoxidil 2% first 4 weeks, 5% every day since. Kirkland.

2. Finastride 1.mg daily.

3. Biotin and J&J Hair Oil, Emu oil and good diet.

Good news

It looks like the new hairs are beginning to peep through the transplanted area now. I can see little black single hairs poking their way through.

I iwll update with photo's later this week

57 Days post op (Ulgy Duckling phase)

I think I'm looking pretty much how i did pre op right now. Nothing going on yet, but in about 4-5 weeks, things should get interesting

PM Sent to you 22U.

Hi 22U. To star with 10,000 FUE is an unrealistic expectation to get in one visit, and depending on your Donor Area and BHT. Most people would advocate 3000 is plenty to get done in 1-2 FUE sessions, as you don't want to over harvest the Donor area, and cause trauma to your scalp.

Firstly state your goals, and what you hope to achieve. Norwood 7 is quite high, so it's best to contact Dr Bhatti directly with your concerns, expectations and rough plan of what you want. Dr Bhatti may suggest getting for arguments sake 3000 done, then another 2000 in 6-12 months time. I'm not sure what the cost is in Sterling, as i paid in Euros. Roughly, it was 1 Euro per FUE Graft, and then double the price for BHT(doesn't matter what area)

Dr Bhatti is very friendly, and obliging to answer all your questions, without putting pressure on you. SMP mixed with lets say 4500 Grafts would look excellant, however that's only my opinion, if you want to keep it short. If you wan't Dr Bhatt's contact details, send me a PM. I'm not an expert, but if you have any questions let me know.

Best of luck and congratulations

Hi 22U,

Not really much to update, but i will upload some new photo's later this week.

I mean with longer hair, I think you had your hair buzzed pretty close so it's hard to tell where it was earlier.

Hi KO,

I usually keep it tight, as in the photo's i provided. Sorry man

Here is one from last year, Jan 2012 hair is combed over a little.

Hi just a quick question I have just had a ht on 27/6/2013 with Dr Bhatti and im takeing the finestride and biotin tablets but was wandering when did you start putting on the minoxdy foam as even with putting on the gillete foam im a little scared to touch the area.

 

Also is it ok to lay on it as sleeping on my back takes some getting used to.

 

and yours looks like its comeing along great did you just follow the after care guide you were given by Dr Bhatti or did you do anything extra

Congratulations with the HT, and I hope you are satisfied with everything so far. I started using the Minoxidil after 2 weeks, as per the procedure. I used some of the swabs Dr Bhatti gave me to apply the Foam to the grafts gently. So have the hair wet, and then apply the foam gently spreading it around the transplanted area. Use the bottles provided, and ler the water flow gently and wash the hair. It might be a good idea to ask somone to help you wash the foam off. After 7 days your grafts will be "locked down", so they won't be popping out, unless you decide to forcefully pull them, which you wont I hope!
