I will be off work for 3 weeks. Then will live under a hat for a few months until my previously transplanted hair and natives grow back. Luckily I am able to wear one at work.

Now if something like a funeral pops up, I guess I will be forced to figure out dermatch or caboki or something.

Has anyone with more pale skin tried fake tan? Think if you come back from a holiday and your whole face is darker including recipient area might hide the redness and disguise a little bit.

Full disclosure least i be accused of bias or having an agenda, I had a very regrettable experience and horrible result. 

But putting that aside, because I have for the most part moved on, are you genuinely trying to suggest there isn't at least some sort of coordinated marketing going on?  Seems be a bit of a timely influx of older results including like previously mentioned, 2 people making multiple posts, and at least one or two bumped results. Just seems pretty coincidental to me, but more coordinated.

But not that there's anything inherently wrong with that though.  NOTHING wrong with people sharing good results or results they're happy with! God knows I wish I could have. I think the issue is probably more with transparency than anything else.

OP While I do see some decent work, esp with Indian patients, and I'm not suggesting you away from any clinic at, I would suggest that you don't limited yourself to India or one area. At the very least get online consults from many and see what they say. My biggest problem was (being naive) seeing a few decent results from an inexpensive clinic and going ok yep that's it. And the only other research was asking that doctor. So, India might be the best place for you, and the advantage  of being in India and close to several clinics is that you can visit several of them and talk to the surgeons etc in person. But it wont hurt do expand and get some opinions frlm all over the world.

It's a 6 hour flight to Turkey, I would rather take 2 days off and go get it done there. 

Would you always know if you damaged or lost grafts? LIke in the first week stage?

@Jhonny funny you mention that as I have bio oil sitting in my cupboard. I might start using it on donor but scared to use it on receipent at the moment

I've tried all kinds, toppik, caboki, nanogen. They all pretty much work the same, but the best value in my opinion is Caboki, it lasts the longest and is reasonably priced. I use redken manuever pomade and hair spray. 

Thanks mate I might invest. At least for a few months. One last question? Does it stay in place or does it fall oout and on your shoulders etc, or is that what the hair spray is for?

update??

Ahhh thank you I get it!!! I think they call it foundation here! 

I have read some success stories but that its also has a high risk of bloat and water retention apparently.

No restrictions after 2 weeks.  Mascara tends to work well. 

Go to the beauty counter at any of the major stores in the mall.  The "make-up artists" are really good at this.

Thanks mate. What do you mean mascara? As in applying it to the transplanted hair so it looks thicker and thus diguises the red etc?? I was more thinking about stuff like aloe vera and bio oil etc to help get the red down but thats an interesting idea.

Hi all,

Just wondering, if anything can be used to speed up/help the redness in recipient area after from around 10 days or 2 weeks post op on? 

i have searched site but didnt find much except a few comments that suggest no.

Correct, I did not use fibers before. Now I’m a huge believer in them. I used fibers at least 4-5x per week. Fibers are easily washed out. There’s no way they’re clogging pores id you wash them out every night.

Can i ask which fibers you would recommend? And do you use anything with them, or just hair spray?

This is extremely disturbing, esp this - 

He then told me at least he did all of my graft extractions and incisions. I told him this was also not 100% true, because the technicians told me they were continuing to do extractions for him while he was gone. He then told me it was in my best interest to not have him insert my grafts anyway, because "I am not good at graft insertion. When I try to do it, my technicians laugh at me." I believe he continued to minimize his role in selling me on

Seriously, what HT surgeon says that about graft insertion??? I feel you and agree with transplantedphil but hope at least the result is exactly what you were after. 

Outstanding mate! Such an incredible result very happy for you. Don't think I've seen a poor result from him.

I just had a HT with Demirsoy yesterday. Resting in hotel in Turkey at the moment but the experience couldn't have been better.

Looks great! Amazing for only 4.5 months

Looking good. Exciting times ahead!

I don't think there's any reason to worry mate. Have a look at other photos from around this time and it's well within normal. 

What a transformation mate!!

Outstanding!!! Congrats! Don't think this could have gone any better. 

This looks so clean. Think it will be awesome good luck!! 

Following your progress  - looks like great work!

Wow just Amazing 

Looks like fantastic work 

Very nice and great write up. Look forward to seeing 16 month mark but already looking so good!!
