hey guys I'm 2 months post FUE and in sunny California. I would love to get some color while I'm here and hit the beach. Obviously I am wearing a cap everywhere I go. Just curious of there is ANY way I can safely tan without compromising the grafts? Is it worth it?

she was booked 4 months out. I actually saw her first, then Konior second (who had a 12+ month waitlist), then consulted a bunch of other doctors, and finally settled on her. she was my first consultation so I did a LOT of work researching people before committing to her.

hey all 6 weeks post op- has 2000 grafts FUE. Fully in ugly duckling mode. I buzzed by hair a week ago because it was growing out at the back and sides. Looks much better when uniformly even. Assuming that I see graft growth 3-4 months in, when do you guys think it would be best to let the donor area grow out? i ask because one month post op my donor looked a bit thin and I am curious how much “runway” (or time) is needed for the donor to fully thicken from a buzzcut. In other words: if I let my donor and recipient grow out 4 months post-op, should I expect a good head of hair about 2 months later? Trying to strategize

Hi Raptor about 8 months after the consultation

According to my surgeon, unlike other hair surgeries (which aren’t truly scarless) taking grafts from the neck beard actually IS scarless. My surgeon is conservative and very careful about wording so it makes me believe that this is indeed a scarless procedure if done correctly. From what I can tell very few doctors know how to do it. I would tread carefully.

Ok so basically buzz cut for 3 months and then when the top grows (around month 4-6 let the back grow so that it all evens out? im assuming once you have 100% growth in the recipient you can let everything grow out and it will look good

Righto but as we discussed in private it seems that it’s better to go with a buzz cut or grow the donor out for a while - as opposed to keeping a short style that shows the thinning area in the donor

Thanks Melvin.is there any benefit to growing out the donor area during the recovery.? Does it help with density and healing?

Hey Melvin Is your advice aplicable to someone who is way beyond their recovery, with a fully healed donor area? Or is this just for the ugly duckling? Re Donor hair cut : you’re essentially saying to either go REALLY short or let it grow out ao that it covers the area, correct? as opposed to the middle ground 1-2 months post op) where it still kinda looks sparse ? is there any healing benefit to growing the donor out post procedure?

Well... it makes you “out of it”. I definitely was talking jibberish during my surgery... not to the point of being irritating but definitely in that classic altered state way

It’s the drugs dude. They’re used to it

Did you have your head shaved for the second procedure just like you did for the first??

Jack Black thickening is AMAZING. crazy how much of a difference a good thickening shampoo makes!!
