I felt it too around months 4-5 and then again last month (6) after Finasteride kicked in. I thought I was having tactile hallucinations

I have learned to recognize the "HT pattern" (strong hairline, weak crown--very few people have that kind of hair loss naturally).

Also, it becomes obvious when guys lose the rest of their hair and keep only a strip of hairline--I've seen more than a couple of those around.

Last summer I've seen a guy with mini-grafts and once when I was a child I remember seeing a guy with plugs. I am wondering why on earth would they go out without a hat.

With such hair, no wonder your confidence skyrocketed. It looks really good.

16 days? No, it might be too early. Give it a month. I had my first buzz 6 weeks post-op I think. Not that I think it would do a great damage (I don't know) but just to be on the safe side.

They won't be gone in awhile, so maybe try to find a "good zit day" (gee does this sound weird or what) and most importantly, be as gentle as you can. The trimmer must be sharp so that your grafts don't get pulled.

Send us a picture with the new hairdo

Hey guys, today is 5 weeks post op.

 

The hair on the back are getting longer, so I'm thinking to trim them by myself.

 

I would be using a razor like this

 

 

Is there any risk for the donor area? Is it dangerous to do it or too early?

Can I also trim the recipient area? Of course paying attention to not touch the scalp

I'd say it's good as long as it has the plastic addition on and you don't press it against your scalp.

But why does the link say "rasoio elettrico per animali"??

Ew. Good idea for the hair dust but not for the dead skin and bacteria that go with it

That looks really great, and the price sounds fair.

Yeah, avoid buzzing as much as possible. It's going to be weird, but we all had to go through it. It's not easy when you go out and become all self conscious, but it passes eventually. Get yourself a nice collection of different hats and wear them wherever you can.

That looks great! Don't worry about the numbness of the top, it takes a couple of months to go back to normal. Mine passed by the fourth-fifth month.

Dude, no images, never happened

Congratulations on your HT and thanks for the detailed report.

I didn't remove the hat for the security check, I said I had a surgery and they let me pass with my famous "Maral-hat" on. The immigration also let me be without taking off the hat.

The person at the check-in asked to see, and another guy at a security post a few days later. But you will be post-surgery and it is OK to explain and ask for understanding.

I can also recommend Dr. Maral, but it's up to you. If you manage to find more info about that other clinic do let us know.

For real?! Buy yourself a house and go get a HT in Turkey.

Fantastic result. I always feel a little jealous with high NW cases with small area to cover. Mine was about three times as big...

Your results are nothing but astounding. But the hairline is the best of all--corresponding to your facial features perfectly naturally. Kudos for Dr. Rahal.

Any of you guys knows if Dr Maral does any body hair transplant?

I think not, but why don't you ask him directly?

You didn't respond to my observations though. Is the hairline asymmetrical, are the grafts unevenly distributed?

The question was not "where do you guys think I should go" but "do you know more about Iranian clinics" as it appears the OP did some research and has interest in Iran specifically:

I read the forum posts on "how to pick a clinic" etc ... but I am looking for users that have done their transplants in one of these clinics in Iran and can share their experiences.

Unless you can help him with this, or have an idea where he could search, I don't see the point in making an argument out of the fact that you simply don't know. IMO, the people from the Gulf (who have the money + seek for lower prices + are in geographical proximity), as well as Persian diaspora, would know more than this US and Europe-centered community.

Warning, STAY AWAY! The elite FUE surgeons are in Belgium, UK and Turkey. Iran is NOT known for its quality FUE or hair transplantation. Look elsewhere and save yourself a big mistake please.

If we here don't know anything about Iranian clinics, why would it mean this guy needs to stay away? Maybe they are having top doctors we know nothing about (I doubt it, but still). But imposing your ignorance on someone is a wrong way to go.

you are a great candidate for meds.

This.

That's a tough one, I doubt anyone here would know. Perhaps you can try in Farsi- or Arabic-speaking online communities?

Hm, not sure. But it makes sense to avoid any kind of trauma around your hair.

FUE technique is not invasive and the most annoying part is the anesthetic, which is on the border between painful and uncomfortable for the first couple of shots. But apart from that it is really not an issue (coming from someone who doesn't take physical pain very well either).

Meds you get largely depend on your doctor, but you'll likely end up with painkillers and antihistamines for up to a week. Again, nothing to worry about, as long as you manage to stay at home and rest.

Sounds like a good question for your doctor. In my experience, they needed hydration 2-3 times a day maximum, if/when the scalp felt dry and itchy, during the first week or so. The most you can do for your grafts is to avoid disturbing them and let them heal naturally.
