So I'm almost five months after a 2200 graft transplant. It looks very pluggy. The frontal hairline is dense for about 1/2-1 inch but then the transplanted hairs behind that are small or not noticeable at all. It looks bald and disconnected with the rest of the hair. What should I expect at 5 months? I saw some of the hairs coming in at two months and at four months I saw many more come in. Should I expect to see the majority of them by now at least to a small extent? Please help and respond, THANKS> BEN

I had a hair transplant on august 29th. My scalp has healed a lot but is still pink. Is there any way to end this pinkness? I have a fair complexion:( Any product that would aid in the final healing of the scalp? Thanks to all who respond!

I am now one month after a hair transplant. My scalp is still pink and healing. What can i put on it that will heal it without the possibility of damaging grafts? I have a bottle of aloe vera gel that i am debating using. Thanks to all who take the time to respond. I apply all the feedback I get and follow recommendations, so thank you!

I really appreciate all your responses guys!!! - BEN

Thanks for you awesome response! can i use aloe vera gel one month after transplant to heal the grafted area?

What are the best products/vitamins to use to maintain hair. I had a hair transplant a month ago. I am taking finasteride, biotin, fish oil, iron, and a vitamin b pill. Thanks to all who respond!!!!!!!

u addressed my question in your last post, which i didnt see till after i posted (i posted through my cell phone). Now i'm on my computer and see your last post, lol. Any of you guys try oiling your head overnight with emu, coconut, lavender, castor, or other oils?

Steve I appreciate it. Ya i have been paranoid as he'll until recently. Its starting to wear off gradually as everything fully heals. Now I'm just concerned about the shedding. Do u use oils or Rogaine or anything? Any vitamins or things i should take? I do tree ale biotin and forwarders. Thanks for your help!

I am also trying to thicken hair in areas that were not grafted

So i had my transplant 15 days ago. I am mostly healed and trying to facilitate hair growth. Would the use of oils at this point on the grafted area help the grafts grow or benefit me in any way? Thanks for your response!

How long after a hair transplant can I oil my scalp? Also what oils should I use and how? Thanks to all who respond!

So a very knowledgeable man on here recently told me not to have a PRP treatment following a hair transplant. I believe him. He said I would risk temporary or even permanent shock hair loss if I did so. Has anyone tried this before or experienced this or heard about this?

whoa! Good to hear that, i thought it would help with the shock loss, i know some surgeons perform PRP with the transplant

one quick question, should i try a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy in my scalp to assist the growth? Have you ever looked into it?

lol thanks

I recently received a hair transplant with 2200 grafts. About 100 were on each side of my head and most of the others on my crown and temples. I slept on my side on a soft pillow. What are the chances I lost grafts sleeping normally? I finished the procedure at 2 pm, kept the hair wet with copper peptide every hour, and fell asleep at 3 am (13 hours after surgery). Could I have lost some grafts by sleeping on my side with my head not elevated? It was a very soft pillow. There was blood on it and some hairs on it the following morning but I think they were normal hairs falling out, they looked too long to be grafts. I may just be paranoid and nervous post-op. THANKS TO ALL WHO RESPOND!!

So you guys are agreeing that it's generally okay the same night of a hair transplant to sleep on some of your grafts?

its true, lol. So true, thanks

Help!!! I slept on grafts!!!

So i had a hair transplant surgery recently. I slept with my head on two pillows. I slept on my sides and not in a reclined position on my back. My doctor was not very clear with me on how i should sleep after surgery. My surgery ended at 2 pm. I lay down at 3 am. What is the possibility that I lost grafts if i lay on my side where some of the grafts were touching the pillow and possibly rubbing a little for the first few days after a procedure. I saw a few hairs on the pillow on the days after but i am pretty sure they were shock loss hairs and not implanted graft hairs. They seemed too long to be grafts I slept on an extremely soft pillow but the grafts were touching the pillow. PLEASE ANSWER POLITELY. Thanks to all who answer, ESPECIALLY DOCTORS

The blood i had on my pillow was blood that i couldnt tell was from my suture or from not washing hair ( i didnt wash my head until about 24 hours after operation was complete). I dont recall any new bleeding on the scalp, just blood on the pillow that probably came naturally as i had sprayed the scalp just before bed. It's good to hear that someone else slept normally like i did. I was just concerned about rubbing my head against the pillow and losing grafts. I did lose a couple of grafts on day 2 or 3, one from bumping my head and another just came out, so i know what they look like. I dont think what i saw on the pillow were graft but still i have stressed a lot after this procedure and know very little about all of this, which is why i am on this site to learn more

Thanks, but could sleeping on grafts on your first night after a transplant dislodge them?

Thank you for your reassurance and kind response!

So i had a hair transplant of 2192 grafts on Monday, Aug 29. Almost all were on the front of my head, temples, sides, etc. A few were placed in the back of my head where I am thinning in just a few spots. Last night, Sunday was six days later. I was scratching what I thought was just dried blood. As far as I know, only one graft came out. There was no bleeding but definitely a graft. I am very OCD and picked around on some dried bloody spots, mostly trying to not touch the graft or follicles. This went on for 15 minutes. But I am wondering if the bulb or whatever will make the hair grow fastest will stay in the head at day 6.5 if the graft is pulled out. I was pulling out what i thought was dried blood so it was pulling more than picking with fingernails. Again, i dont recall any blood. Please give me your best advice. I am done picking or pulling back there. Also, please don't be rude if respond! Thanks so much, BEN

was this a one hair graft or a few hair graft?
