  1. Hello everyone...it's been 60 days since my HT and I was working in the house today and bumped my head on a shelf...small little scrap and a small "strawberry" scrape...any concern in dislodging any of the grafts? Thanks again
  2. I was really worried because I have been following every step according to the doctor...i didn't realize the shedding process would happen so quickly
  3. After my shower, my forehead was wet and looked like my skin was peeling. After it dried it looked like a yellowish flake (skin or edema?) and some fell out with small hairs attached to it
  4. A couple flake of skin came out and in it had some of the HT grafts worried
  5. Ok I might be freaking out but I am on Day 15 after my HT and I am noticing my front scalp (hairline) beginning to peel quite a bit. Is this something I should expect? If not, what should I do? I have been showering but applying small shampoo to area without applying much pressure....I would then use a cup and pour water over the transplanted area Any help would be great Thanks

  7. Today I had my suture removal today and everything is healing healthy. After I left the office, I had a little bleeding on the one side, nothing crazy though. Would spraying saline in the area that bled be ok for keeping it clean? If not, any suggestions? Thanks
  8. I didn't see any blood on my scalp or any hair so I was curious if one just shedded as it should during this process thanks again!
  9. Can a graft fall out at the 8 day point, as part of the initial shedding of the grafts? Haven't done anything crazy except relaxing on vacation but I was looking at the grafts and looks like possibly one fell out If one did fall out, would it bleed or show redness where it fell out? doesn't show much of either
  10. So far on Day 8 and the process has been better than I expected. I go in Saturday t get my stiches out I am still using a cup of water to keep the transplanted area moist...Should I still continue to use this method or use Saline like some users have used in the past? Thanks
  11. thanks for all the advice. I will post a couple pics of the HT later
  12. I read that cleaning the "transplanted area" with a gause and saline? is this method to early or should continue using a cup with water
  13. If I should have shock loss, how soon would i see it? Or would i slready have had it after the procedure Thanks
  14. Does everyone go through "shock loss" after a HT or do some not get it at all?
  15. Hello - Its been 3 days since my surgery and I will admit it wasn't bad as first expected. the suture scar is really the only tender area but its very minimal. Now going forward, what are some things I should expect? I know one thing I heard was "shock loss" in the transplanted area. I was reading something in the office about taking a DHT blocker...is there any good behind that? Thanks again
  16. Thanks for your quick response. The only reason why I am worried about wearing a hat is I have a outdoor party with friends and don't want to look all beat up looking. Do you think Saturday is too early?

  18. Good Evening - I am new to the board and just had a few questions regarding today's Hair Transplant. I got 1300 grafts and so far pain is pretty minimal. Now the couple questions I have: #1) How soon can i wear a cap? I normally wear fitted caps but have a few snapback that could possibly do the job #2) The technician said sometime the grafts stay in instead of them falling out like they normally do. Any truth behind that? Also I would like to hear any secrets any of you used to help your healing process along Thanks!
