hi there 6 months down the line. have noticed some growth. i have good and bad days. the bad days are particularly due to the intense itch i get from the receipient and donor site. have tried various shampoos without much help. have uploaded photos for everyone to see. would be inteested to hear your comments

looking good peter. stick in there

recepient site remains painful and little black dots appear which im not sure is folliculitis? any ideas or suggestions? my surgeon has reassured me that they are small scabs which will fall out but i'm not convinced

thanks peter yeah i did look him up but didnt find much on him. however when i went to the clinic i met aother patient who had the procedure done and was very pleased with the outcome. i am now at 4 weeks since the procedure. to be honest i am dissapointed that they shaved all of my hair at the time of the surgery. as i was fully aware that the receipient site would take time to fill in but now i have 2 really noticeable areas of bladness which i have no hair to cover with. i have now resigned myself to use camoflage hair fibres until the hair hopefully grows. i am taking finasteride, 7% minoxidil and various vitamins to try and get the hair to grow quickly. i know its just a waiting game but its very frustrating. on the facial side - that seems to be doing much better. most of the transplanted hair remains in place. i have yet to shave but hope to do so this weekend. i will post more pics up cheers

thanks guys for your kind comments. im looking forward to seeing the final result. just a waiting game now!

1400 grafts 2 weeks ago. hoping the grafted hair wont fall out. anything i can do to stop this from happening? what do you think of result? i think it looks rather less dense that the rest of the hair. is this normal?

hi there im looking for some support and advice. i'm day 9 post FUE to frontal region and scar. a total of 1400 grafts. was due to get 2000 but the clinic didnt have 1.0mm punches and therefore the surgeon stopped as he was transected the grafts and didnt want to compromise them. would be interested to hear your views on the result? anything that i can use to speed up the growth?

anybody out there? now day 9. hoping for some answers and support. come on guys...

Hi there I have just had a FUE procedure to my frontal area. ( 3 days ago). it was performed at the DHI clinic. I also had around 150 grafts placed into my scar. 1400 to the scalp. was suppossed to get around 1800 but they did not have a 1mm punch and the surgeon had to stop harvesting as he was transecting the larger hairs with the smaller punch and therefore stopped. they are planning on refunding me the difference in the hairs that werent transplanted. There is a lot of excellent information on this website and i would appreciate some comments regarding my photos and post op regime. so far all appears well. the only problematic bit has been the donor area which aches and oozes. i am applying fucidin on it and have only recently started washing the area with baby shampoo. i am not sure when to wash the recepient area on the scalp and also the scar. the clinic recommended 3/4 days. how do i do this? with a mild soap or anti septic pads and dab the area? i am still taking the finasteride but not sure whether to start minoxidil and when? is it ok to take anti histamines for the itchying? thanks everyone for your input
