6 months post op

3 months post op

2 months post op

Hello all, Its been a while I visited this site as I was pretty busy with my daily work schedule and travel. Here are all of my post op pics till 9 months post op. I developed a keloid on the scar, which after my 1yr post op will be treated by Dr. Ron. I have attached my 1 MONTH POST OP pics below:

@Arrie Thanks.....its the wait game now!! @StaggerLee123 Yeah it is.....good that I'm able to cover my scar well with concealer. The credit also goes to the hair stylist at Sports clip, she gave a pretty nice look to make my hair look even

I started my day to the office at 25th day mark thinking that I might have to reveal about my surgery if I am showing off any traces of it; but contrary to my expectation I was surprised that people who sit next to me had no idea about my HT at all or rather they don't care about what happened to me. In the beginning, I was little hesitant on showing off my scar even with the concealer that I used. I keep looking at the mirror to check if everything is in place but after passing one or two days in the office everything was as normal as before. I have just told everybody that I had a buzz cut for a change and no questions asked whatsoever. I just thought to myself that I would give a damn of what people think about my current ugly duckling phase I am going through. So except for the exposure under direct sunlight, I stopped wearing a hat at all. Also I decided to not spend a lot of time in front of the mirror (max 3 times a day ) till the end of 3rd month. Reason for writing all this is, for the people who worry too much after HT can take this as an example that HT is NOT A BIG DEAL!!

I got my staples removed at Dr Cooley's clinic in charlotte, NC. To be honest I did experience bit pain but was very relieved after getting them off my head. Started applying aloe vera gel before bed for relief and faster healing.

That's a great work......happy growing!!

Thanks for your response Dr. Glenn M. Charles. I finally got Toppik at a Hair Restoration center here in NC. I tried to get dermmatch at Walmart and other stores too but the product is available online only. Since I have a party this weekend and hardly have any time to order online, I brought toppik. I was little hesitant on its use on the donor scar because of the angle of its use on the sides and back; but its not that difficult of application and works wonders with Toppik fiberhold spray. Overall I'm able to hide the scar pretty well for now.

Hello Everyone, I am 22 days post op and I had a hair cut today. I tried to even out the size of my hair on the sides and back matching the hair at recipient area; but as expected my wide donor scar (especially on the sides) got revealed now. I read some of the posts regarding the dermmatch use to hide the scar. Is is safe to use it on the healing scar? Will it cause any infection or irritate the scar? Your inputs are highly appreciated!

I am taking MSM1500mg 2 tablets a day which I brought at GNC store. I just started today and planning on taking for 2 months to see how it works on growing hair faster. I will keep you updated on the results.

Hello Everyone! Sharing some of my 3rd day post op pics under the day light. At this time I am finding a slight pain at the donor area, little discomfort because of staples. But besides that everything else looks fine. Today was the 6th day and I don't see much or very little redness on my scalp.
