Some concealer on there would work a treat while you have a think about medication and possible hair transplant, i would recommend nanogen, have a look on youtube.

Hi everyone im 9 weeks post op and ive noticed recently at about 7-8 weeks about 50 of the transplanted hair have fallen out from the front. I kept about 60 per cent of the hair from 1500 fue , is this normal for the hair to shed, i have noticed some very small hairs next to the bigger ones...just need some advice thank you

Hi mate to affect the grafts it has to be bad sunburn that goes deep into the dermis where your hair follicle is.It sounds like you got a bit of colour on your epidermis which wont affect the follicle . If you didnt have any pain and much redness like you say especially since your 2 months out youll be fine

Hi everyone i had a 1500 fue done 8 weeks ago yest. Im going to see doc about propecia on Friday its the 1mg dose per day. I have read a lot on the issue but was looking for some advice... Would i be better taking half a tablet a day and working it up or just take the full 1mg and see how the side effects are? I see a lot of people have some side effects , some dont , and some take a lesser dosage or skip a day ive read it stays in system for 72 hours? Also Do you get a shed? Am i better to wait till my new hair starts to grow then start using? I have been lucky and kept a lot of my grafts maybe 50/60 % so wait till it all grows out or start taking now? Any advice and your experience would be great .

My swelling lasted 8 days mate, each of us is different...a ,lot of factors come into play, it will disappear, hopefully you have seen an improvement since you posted this .

Im 6 weeks after hair transplant and have used nanogen twice for max 6 hours then washed it out the last week. I have read the nanogen site and lots of q/s and a/s on internet .The fibres are Keratin, so just like adding hair to hair it says . So i think its safe and doc says its fine after 4 weeks. Has anyone used nanogen after hair transplant as obv the fibres land on the scalp where new hairs have been placed im pretty sure it wont hamper growth but has people got any experience they can share? There have been questions on here asking but you dont get a definite answer so was hoping people who have used it found it to be ok after transplant and offer there experience and views.

Fantastic Result congrats my friend

In my opinion the best way to think on a graft is like a cut and the scab you get healing over it like on your hand or anywhere else... The first few days its easy to open and to pull off after that its much harder . I had a loose fitting hat 2 days after my 1500 fue on a 5 hour train journey and i had to remove and spray in the toilet every half hour to hour and lost not one, If your cautious and sensitive theres little chance of pulling out a graft ,but it cannot be tight fitting, very very loose.

Looking great mate and you only have more growing to look forward too congrats

Is it normal that almost all my new transplanted hair are still in place very little have gone maybe 50 out of 1500 is that ok /normal?? I have read a lot of people lose after just two weeks , i shower every day, rub gently the transplants but there not budging, can anyone put my mind at rest. Sorry im not day 25 im day 27 tomorrow 4 weeks since op.

Glad its going well for you mate are all your scabs gone now? Im day 27 now and i think your not far from there let me know how you get on with some updates. happy growing

Kate i think your being extremely belittling to everyone on here with the advice you have just given, thinking no one would know what you have just wrote is absurd . Anyone who has went down the ht route knows this stuff, the pros / cons and everything else and tbh i think your offering nothing to this great site other than promoting yourself/company.

Great info Gillenator, do you have any advise on using concealers and if safe after transplant and any posts of people using it after ht?

Hi make sure you have given yourself enough time to rest after the op . Day 10 is very important that is when your follicle is finally solid so take it really easy till then Do you know if you have a graft spray and shampoo kit off the surgery?? If not get one online Graftcyte kit its called it is expensive but so worth it, its amazing stuff and helps immensely i got 1500 fue done on the 20th may and my redness is almost gone now it helps with healing and keeping the wound clean which is the most important Drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fruit and veggies to get lots of vitamins and mineral to your new follicles and plenty of protein to help the healing and lots of water (basically watering and feeding the follicles) . You should sleep in upright position for a week that what i done for the swelling and it really helped with a neck cushion really helps from moving right or left and prevents the grafts touching the pillow You will get antibiotics and anti swelling tablets and some painkillers after op . Hope this helps and all goes well mate.

Hi everyone I'm day 21 today after 1500 FUE and want to share some of my exp with people who are just after op or having one soon. After your op relax and get a good sleep in a upright position(preferably with a neck cushion) it helps with the swelling and grafts touching your pillow. Next day the surgery should give you a good wash. Massage the forehead from day 1 even if you don't have swelling yet as it usually comes in day 2/3 its normal so don't worry.The surgery should also give you a hydrating spray, shampoo and conditioner,make sure you spray the grafts every half hour to hour its helps the healing, keeps the wounds clean and to loosen the scabs. Day 2 Get a small amount of your shampoo in a clean glass or cup and mix with luke warm water, gently pour over grafts and leave for a minute or two, rinse using cup with luke warm water until all the shampoo is gone doing this in front of a mirror is good as it helps you see what you doing.The donor area might be a wee bit sensitive so wash gently with same method, massage in circles thats the donor area not the new grafts( do not touch the grafts ) I washed once per day and scabs where gone by day 10/12 . I didn't want to dry my other hair too much with over shampooing i also let it air dry ,don't use a towel it may pull out a graft. Try to stop looking and take it easy watch DVD's / tv, read books or use the internet to take your mind off the op . Bend at the knees if you have to pick anything up or even better get someone to do it for you if your lucky . Day 3-7 I done everything the same like day 1 with washing the donor area and grafts using the cup method, the swelling peaks on day 3/4 and lasted for me to day 7 ,your head feels a bit numb but it will get better. Do not exercise and take it easy for first 10 days as you don't want to risk losing grafts raising your blood pressure . Day 8/9/10 I used some conditioner on grafts very gently for a few minutes don't use a lot, with a finger gently massage in circles and then rinse with cup method this really helped with the scabs , shampoo as normal still using cup method and rinse again with cup.. Day 11 I went under shower head for first time as my surgery and surgical evidence show follicle cannot fall out from day 10. I was nervous , i had it on gentlest setting with luke warm water ...it really helped and felt amazing to be under a shower again...you'll be fine!!!! I was nervous and anxious but after day 10 the follicle cannot fall out and this day you feel like a huge burden has been removed as you know the follicle is there to stay hooray. The new grafts I have are mostly still there a few have shed roughly 100/200 some might lose more or less its different with everyone, with most people all the grafts should shed by week 6 and your new hair will grow,its slightly red on top and its almost unnoticeable at back as hair was shaven to zero for op its between a one and 2 now and i have some small red dots in donor area but almost gone and for only 3 weeks out its normal you will notice a big difference between week 2 and 3 with the healing in a few more weeks you wont know you will have had surgery and will have a 3 at back . Now its my waiting game if you have any questions I will try to help you with but good luck everyone and hope I help with my experience...happy growing.
