Appreciate everyone for their reply..I am trying to follow the advice and hoping to get a good results...this is Day 62 :rolleyes:

wanted to start a new thread about 2 months Post Op care. Most of my scabs are now gone. There are no signs of transplant on my head, no pain either !! I am asking experts for the best practices for a fine growth. Specially I want to know - 1) Should I treat grafted area normally for direct shower, swimming pool and walking bare head under the sun etc ? 2) Which shampoo should be used on a daily basis ? 3) Should we put any oil to cope up with dryness and itching ? 4) Should I continue the use of Rogain ? 5) Rubbing the fingers when it itches is harmful ? Will it affect the grafts inside ? I know there is no one solution for everyone but still trying to collect some best practices. Appreciate your time and faith ..

That was helpful.. I feel confident. I feel ao itchy on the grafted area.. Is it okay to rub them gently for some relief ? What should i put on the grafted area for better reaults. I am shampooing every alternate days..is that okay?

One and half month post op… I look so bald from the frontal area. I have lost almost all the grafted hair and now waiting for them to come. My biggest concern is that I don’t see tiny dots which I am expecting to see as those were grafted. I see only couple of them and all of them doesn’t look like 3500 grafts at all. I am also noticing that the grafts are not closely grafted and it seems to be very low density at this point of time… I know its too early to say but my head is full of doubt.. is this normal not seeing any density at this point of time?

Wanted to say something about Dr Prashant, I was freaked out when I observed 90% of my transplantation work was performed by technicians and dr Prashant visited only 2-3 times during the entire procedure, that too for giving them instructions. I was told that harvesting 90% and grafting 40% will be done by Dr but that was a trap. Once you sign the paper and dressed up for the procedure, all agreements are gone. Fingers crossed..

Hello friends...I was travelling extensively while trying hard to hide from the world.. I am attaching my 35 days post op photos..not sure if this is exact what I should expect but I am little concerned about the density as it looks so less even after getting 3500 grafts.. I have seen people got very good results even with lesser number of grafting.. I got almost 3500 grafts for my frontal area but its not visible at all... I m kind of concern about it.. Please review the pictures and post your opinion.. I still have scabs at many place and whenever I am trying to take them out... it comes with 2-3 hair in it and that is why i am now leaving them as it is and waiting for natural decay... I am applying Kera XL Growth Serum twice a day and having two kind of pills as prescribed by my doctor. Hairbless - once a day Dutamax 0.5 mg - every alternate days Johnsan baby shampp - every day regular shower with filter water. Please suggest what could i do to get better results. Thanks

I have done my 3500 FUT from Dr Prashant Yadav on 2nd of Feb. I will write an overall review of dr Prashant and his clinic very soon but this is my day six and I would like to mention that I am doing good so far.. My donor area is recovering and there are lots of black scabs on the grafted area. My five days medications are over and I am just using Johnson's Baby shampoo for head wash and one medicine for existing hair loss. I traveled to US right on the 3rd day of transplantation. My journey was okay and did not get any trouble. I was wearing a bandanna over my head all the time. Beside this I have few concerns which I want to post here so that someone can tell me if this is normal or not. I am losing black scabs with little hair in it. Every time I take off my Hat. I see few of them coming out, I believe these are grafted hair which is falling after wounds are healing and scabs are making them fall.. Is that normal on the first week of FUT ? My scalp is very itchy and dry. Should I use something to feel better ? Its very cold here in US and hard to survive with a Hat. Is it okay if I wear a warm woolen monkey cap to hide my FUT as well as it will prevent me from extreme cold. Someone told me not to put warm/woolen cap on the grafted area. Is this true ? Can I put hair fibers like topikk or something on the grafted area to make it look better so that I can go to office without putting a cap. Veterans, Please share your thoughts on this.. I have crossed my fingers for next six months..

I am 35 and losing my hair since last 6-7 years. I think I am in Norwood 5 right now.. I have been thinking and making up my mind to get FUE done but the thought of getting hair transplant done itself is giving me goose bumps. I have done my part of research and have been reading all the posts, tracking the progress of doctors and finally made my mind to get it done in the month of Jan when I get my fat bonus (probably) :-) Before I choose a day and go for it, I want to talk to respected members and get their feedback on doc and their price in India. So far i have shortlisted three doctors - Dr Bhatti - Who after seeing my pictures suggested me to go for 3000 graft in one session and that will cost me around INR 3,00000 which is really a lot as compared to other docs in Pune. Dr Bhatti is also recommended in this forum and his work looks awesome in most cases but he is way off my place which is Pune so I am still thinking about him. Dr Poshwal - He is asking me the almost same price but he is not listed here in the network so i am kind of confused. DR. PRASHANT YADAV (Dezire Hair transplant center Pune ) : I read about his work on other website and looks good but the concern is that he was never mentioned in this network and no one talks about his work. But he is offering me a very good discount and 3000 grafts will cost me around 1 lakh which is very less as compared to other doctor. I really need some input for this doc as the cost is very lucrative. Please help me take a decision and if anyone knows about the work of Dr Prashant please share the thread !! reference to other doctors near pune/Mumbai are also welcome. Also, I am attaching my pictures in order to ask feedback about my baldness and the the graft required. What kind of hairline should I choose. Guys, I have been reading the threads for quiet some time and amazed to see how people share their thought here.. I am hoping to get some good feedback and will power to get it done in next two months. thanks and good day you all !!
