i agree wylie any cosmetic procedure is temporary and needs some kind of maintenance in the long run

i've heard that someone told a close friend: "i don't remember (name) being so good looking." so i think there is a lot of talk behind our backs! that said, this original post should be made into a STICKY great post

i just read an article that one doc had patients lightly massaging at day 3 (can't seem to post it) you did it at day 6 and only one time so, you'll be fine, especially since there was no bleeding or re-opening of the slits just don't do it again till after 2 weeks to be safer

i've heard everything from baby shampoo to anything that is not medicated at least for the first 3-4 weeks but then again some docs recommend regaine which is very drying early on so...

uodate? this guy is already partying hard at 3.5 months! lol! but with his hair type, head shape, fue and design he's sitting pretty can't wait to see the end result though too

wow! that's gonna be some density! but the temple angles are below the central part of the hairline maybe he wanted it that way gotta look at a few of dr. rahal's other designs to see if that's how he usually does them hey who's to argue with dr. rahlal though with that density, right? good luck, dude!

hey knud this is very easy to do on your own step 1: take a piece of plastic wrap and place it around your head, flat to the forehead and over the ears. tape it or secure it in the back so it is tight step 2 then draw the outline of the hairline you want on the wrap with a marker step 3 print out this pic which is a page of cm2 boxes Graph Paper to Print - 1cm Squared Paper step 4 place the wrap with the outline over the sheet of cm2 boxes count the boxes within the outline this will give you the recipient area in cm2 that you want covered ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for temple points the most grafts that are done in this area is around 40 grafts per cm2 because you do not want that area too thick for the hairline and temple angles the amount of grafts can vary depending on the doctor you choose but most shoot for somewhere between 40 and 60 for each cm2 you can make templates for many different hairline designs and calculate the approx cm2 and grafts needed with this method

you went to the best of the best belgium is the place for hair hope you get in the study

looking REAL GOOD for 5 months this looks like a winner congrats

getting FUE to frame the face better is an option if you are willing to have less or no hair in the crown even if you you do go NW6, doing FUE would allow you to buzz the entire head to a stubble and this stubble will still frame the face and not be a far off contrast to the bald skin mid-line and crown if you do go NW6 of course like GREAT JOB states: This all depends how your FUE donor area scars if you wind up scarring as in the second pic posted by GREAT JOB you can always tattoo those areas to disguise which would be a better option than tattoo-ing the hairline hair transplants are no longer only for older men who want a head of hair that is continuous from hairline (no matter how high) to crown just make sure to convey to whomever you choose to do this that you are aware and willing to bald behind the recipient area due to your willingness to "buzz to stubble look" i think most FUE docs would take your case knowing this, even at your age

is the texture of your donor area like this texture? if not then these grafts will eventually mimic those from that area usually when women get transplants to the hairline, the grafts are angled flatter to the scalp than when a man gets a transplant to the hairline this creates an illusion of density allowing a much greater lowering of the hairline in terms of cm2 with fewer grafts yours looks like the hair was transplanted at a "less-acute" angle than i have seen on after pics of woman hairlines you can always email any coalition doctor on this website for a consult re: whether this is a graft angle placement issue or a density issue and what they would recommend totally worth a few opinions from other doctors you only have information to gain plus you have another 4 months or so before you do any additional surgery anyway, if that is your next step

dude love the cut guys from the midwest in the US won't get it but from out here on the west coast you're rocking' it BOLD!

even if a person tested negative for HIV at the time of surgery, couldn't they still have the virus due to the window between contracting the virus and the production of antibodies? i still think clinics should have patients run full blood work if only to access thrombo time is within accepted parameters but maybe, well definitely, surgeons who do not require any testing know more than i do about these matters

i always wondered how such a large area on a woman can be covered with so few grafts while on a male it seems to lower the hairline that much and have such coverage, it would require double if not many more grafts

i've read research that had patients massaging lightly at day 3 and using rogaine that early as well regardless of your method of shampooing, many hairs (not the follicle beneath the surface) will fall within the first week methods vary throughout the industry that said, you did this massaging on a whim or by your doctor post-op instructions? you have excellent hair characteristics for a great outcome

that is very funny! yeah, just say, "Done? You think I look that good. Thanks."

hey jet fan you have a great attitude i can learn a lot from your post to hair gainer anyway, just wanted to say it touched a nerve and good luck, mate

sometimes the body can't convert usable Vitamin D from the sun so you need to supplement

early growth for only 4 months! you are going to be one happy camper are you using propecia?

can't really tell what was done since the before pic was so small But wow! that is very clean for "just out of surgery" great xmas present to yourself! congrats

look most cosmetic procedure are fixable yours is no difference go to a few other surgeons and get their opinions yes it will cost more money....SAVE IF YOU DON'T HAVE yes it will cost more time.....WAIT IF YOU DON'T HAVE but you need to make a plan to move forward and try to fix this WHICH YOU CAN not for free and not from the same doctor like you said, what is done is done forget vitals.com and this doctor if can make anyone go crazy start focusing on YOU and your repair THIS IS FIXABLE there are surgeons out there willing and able to help you just please be calm, cool and collected at your consultation and non-accusatory (even though you know what happened) you want them to take your case you are a strong person use that energy to find make a plan this will be fixed god bless

i know a few people you stayed at the new guest house STAY THERE!!!!! it is 2 blocks walking from the clinic and they supply everything privacy is not a issue. if you want to socialize that is an option but the house is so big and clean, one of my friends said that was the best part of the whole experience! every room has a flatscreen and a private bath, either off the room or in the room i saw pics and a video, it looks like a spa! fresh towels ALWAYS AVAILABLE and a washer and dryer for private use a stocked refrigerator full kitchen also big cushy leather recliners in every room at least 20 foot ceilings in the main living room and a separate bonus room off the entrance there is a backyard and a wall of windows off the open concept first floor plus a finished basement there is so much room, you can get lost! but it feels like home! she said most of the time the house felt empty since many people just stay a night or two she stayed 2 weeks and didn't want to leave and wants to build a house like this one for herself! some people came with there with their spouses, mothers, one came with his grandmother! the clinic is up the road so any issue and someone is right over in fact she said someone drove her to the place after the surgery it almost made me want to book with rahal but canada is too far

This is easily fixable Although your doctor got good coverage for only 1200 grafts, this is not enough for the area you wanted covered Yes the texture my be different than the native hair but this is always the case in the first couple of years after a transplant. Some hair types will show this more As for the direction of the transplanted hair, i think once you have another round to beef up the density this will not be as much of an issue when it is fully grown Please go to another doctor though With these types of cosmetic surgeries, unless the doctor specifically speaks to you about needing multiple surgeries to get you where you want to be, i would not give him a second chance, even for free it's worth the few extra bucks and another 8 months of recovery to get this done to your satisfaction, which is not unreasonable that said, your doctor did make the most of 1200 grafts for the recipient area in terms of overall coverage DO FRET THOUGH THIS IS VERY EASY TO FIX and would not be considered a repair just most grafts for density

NO! not with stitches

how many grafts per cm2 do you consider dense packing?
