Hello every one. I recently had my 7 month visit w dr Diep. Overall I feel the growth is great for 7 months. He mentioned that I can anticipate another 35% in growth still so I’m hoping it’s much denser at 12 months. I am happy though at this point considering where I started. I also got a 2nd a cell shot at my 7 month check up. I am going to see where I stand at month 12 but will likely get another procedure w Diep to solidify density in middle and back and touch up the front. Another 2000 grafts should really make a complete difference. I gotta say I didn’t realize how much hair I lost when I look back at the pre op pics and compare them to now. World of a difference in my opinion.

Here are a few images at 18 days post op. Still have some numbness as expected, but not like it was initially. Not a lot of itching either that some people seem to experience the first few weeks.

Any change w your scabs/crusts?

Can you detail how you got scabs off so easily/quickly. I know every individual is different however what was your process? I just want to make sure I don't damage the grafts. Today is day 8 for me so I did my first 20 min shower and gently ran fiingers across recipient w not immense pressure and there is still scabbing and crust post shower. Dr Diep said this is ok and it may take a few days and showers to get all scabs off. What was your strategy?

Hi Hairlessuser & Thickgreenlawn, Thank you for the comments. Yes I started washing recipient area on day 4 w shampoo Dr.Diep gave me. Def still a good amount of scabs and crusts on day 8 (today) and Dr. Diep said this is normal. Day 8 is however the day he said to spend around 20 mins or so in shower w water temperature lukewarm allowing water to soak over recipient area w regular shampoo use so I will hopefully see less of the scabs and crusts after today.

Here is a pic of one week post op. Exact amount amount of grafts was 2372 1s-498 2s-1082 3s-601 4s-191 Last week was not too bad in terms of pain, more so discomfort w sleeping etc. Had some heavy swelling around forehead, eyes and donor area first seven days but that has subsided for the most part w time and meds, although donor area is still swollen and sensitive which is expected only 7 days post op. Basically just been doing a lot of relaxing at home w lil movement. For those of you who have been through the fue surgery process what are you thoughts on how it looks one week after surgery? Is there much of a change 2 weeks after surgery as I have to return to work in another week. Thank for any input.

Sorry about that, thought i had included that in initial opening. Should be attached now.

Hello all, this website has been a wealth of information and a great asset. I researched doctors for a while for my second transplant as my first one from 8 years ago was not overly successful. I decided to go w dr Diep for various reasons. There are a lot of posters on here who have impeccable results which was an inspiration like HTsoon. Also his videos on YouTube speak volumes since there are hundreds of them. I had a consultation w him back in march and my comfort level was high also from that. My surgery was 9/1 and I don't recall a lot of it bc of the meds. I believe I got 2347 grafts but I will have to confirm that next week. I also got the A cell injection which is supposed to expedite growth. Dr Diep focused all in the frontal area and I may need a small amount of grafts in the crown in a year or so. For those wondering about medications, I have been on finasteride for a year w no negative side effects and also rogaine for over a year and just turned 32. II'm crossing my fingers for amazing results like the fellow Diep patients on here. I will update when I can as I have a busy work schedule. Let me know your thoughts on how the one day post op pics look. Any insight/advice is greatly appreciated.

Can someone please dm me on how to start a new thread. I just had fue surgery yesterday and want to share my experience

This looks great. I just had my surgery w Diep on 9/1. How do you post a new thread in discussion forum? I thought I was doing it right but I made a blog instead. I want to share my experience so your help is appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am 32 and I recently went fue surgery w dr. Diep on 9/1. I was a little out of it post surgery but I believe the number of grafts I got was 2347 but I will double check w the office. I did a ton of research and after 10 months made the jump to go w dr. Diep based off his positive reviews on this site, his YouTube videos, his references he provided me with and the overall consultation w him that made me feel comfortable. I am one day post op and the pain is not that bad. I had a strip surgery about 7 years ago and it was not that successful so that's why I got another surgery. I also may need a small one in a year around my crown but we will see when that time comes. For the past year I have been taking finasteride w no sexual side effects etc. for the past 7 months I have been washing my hair w nizoral twice a week. Any comments on how my grafts looks one day post up would be appreciated. Looks like he packed them in heavily in very front which I requested and needed. Also any advice on anything else pertaining to next few weeks/months would be greatly appreciated as well. I will do my best to update when I can

THis is a good question and I'm in same boat. I'm having my fue on 9/1 and am returning to office 9/15. Really do not want to disclose HT. I know it depends on individual but how has everyone faired two weeks after fue surgery? Also is a tanning bed a detriment to hair and post surgery?

Lookin good. How are the results for 6 months? I'm about to see dr diep in a few weeks so I'm curious of your 6 month mark.
