Yes. Thank you. My first procedure was two and a half years ago. My second procedure was about a year and a half ago. I'm in fact getting a third procedure in a few days but I'm doing the strip method. You said this doesnt happen permanently when you do strip correct? But yea I think the grafts are damaged. Its been a year and a half. Is it common for this to happen. I went to dr.Diep. who is said to do good work. But I notice that his technicians are doing most of the work. he starts the procedure but then it seems like most of the work is being done by the technicians. But maybe that's normal I wouldn't know. If I wanted his quality work wouldn't he be doing it. Do other doctors offices do hair transplants with mostly their technicians doing all the work? Or does the doctor actually do the transplant himself the whole time? Anyway thanks for getting back to me.

Yes I had a FUE in 2013. Its been about a year and a half. And the hair is kinky and has a mind of its own. Its been a while so I'm concerned. Thanks guys for getting back to me.

I'm noticing that my transplanted hair does not match the rest of my hair. my original hair is nice and straight. But my transplanted hair that grew in are unmanageable strands of hair that are Wavy. does this stay like this or will it eventually grow to match my regular hair it's like each strand of hair has a mind of its own. My hair always looks messy because of this. Just wondering if this is common or if anybody else heard of this before. I'm 1yr post op.

Oh an I'm 20 days post op FUE.

So the hairs never grow back in the donor area. Or is that just for some patients. And how long could it possibly take. Is the redness for sure to go away? I went to dr. John diep

does minoxidil speed up hair growth after a fue. Does it make the hairs come in faster or just the same as they would have without it. Can anyone share?

so you could have 2000 grafts and still end up with more than 2000 hairs since some grafts contain multiple follicles.is that fair to say

if I use minoxidil on my donor area will the donor area shed too. And if I wait too long , will the donor areas go permanently bald. Should I just use minox on the donor area instead of waiting. I know if it sheds it'll grow back. Jus wanna know what to expect

I'm confused with the difference between a graft and a hair. I thought they were the same thing. Can someone clarify

Thanks I'll check it out

Let's say the donor scars don't heal totally is there anything topical that could help with it. Scarprin is supposed to be good. Jus wondering if anybody knows of anything. FUE SPECIFICALLY

I know after the first 7 days the hairs are firmly in place. but what if they have fallen out before the 7 days does that mean they're not going to grow at all. just asking because I had a fue

Went thru dr Jon diep FUE

Also has anybody heard of scarprin. Supposed heal scars

How long could it possibly take to heal donor scars. When should u start to worry?

I just had fue by dr john diep. im 2 weeks post op. Dr diep said i could use minoxidil after 2 weeks to speed up growth. my only concern is, if i were to stop using. hairs would start to fall out. i know this already. But what if the healthy hairs i still do have dont need minoxidil, and i still decide to use it. once i stop using minox will those healthy hairs be ruined because of the dependency they built on the minox. if someone could get back to me. that would really help. oh and another thing. what percentage og grafts permenently stay on versus how many fall off and stay off for good. its my understanding that some of the grafts dont take.
