you mean something like that?

about 10-11 days post op

Yes mate looks similar. Mine isn’t as obvious as that but I would say it’s similar. 

Hello. 

I am almost 4 weeks post FUE. This week I have noticed that after I wash my hair/scalp there is a build up of something white after I’ve rinsed with water. 

It is visible whilst the scalp is wet and then once dry it disappears. 

Anyone experienced this? Any ideas what it is?

As long as the training isn't super intense, I don't think you're at any risk from working out. Did you reach out to your doctor? The answers really can be as extreme as "mild exercise is okay" to "don't do anything physical for 4 months". It's unfortunate there's such a discrepancy with post-op care, but it's an opportunity to reach out to your doctor for guidance and have them continue to be involved in the post-op journey with you. 

Yes I’ve spoken to them. Advice was rest for 15/16 days. Then light weights for a few weeks, building back up to the weights I used to lift. 

Ive been back in the gym 1 week and taking things light weight more reps. Not doing a lot in terms of heart rate and sweat so going to stick with that for a few weeks.

After so many weeks you still have 1% scabs?  7 days post op you can wash your hair normally.  Whatever you have left, get in the shower, let them soak and scrub them off! The grafts are under the skin and you can not hurt them.

With regards to the gym......Typically you can resume normal activity 7-10 days post op.  Since you did FUE, there are no concerns of stretching scars, etc.  Go back to the gym all you want.

It seems you are getting early growth. Did you do PRP at the time of the procedure?

Lastly, what medical therapies are you doing?  Rogaine, Propecia, Laser, PRP?  You are young.  And, if you've shown the propensity to lose hair, you will continue doing so.  The donor area is finite and you will eventually run out.

I’ve literally got 1 scab left and it’s that one that you can see in the picture. The rest have all gone. 

Yes i had PRP at the time of procedure.

haha mr positive there telling me I will lose more hair. I am on propecia and have been for about 4 years.

You’re going to be fine.  I know if feels good to have all those scabs fall off.  You have plenty to look forward to in 3-4 months.  I chronicled my process daily with pictures and descriptions on my website.  You may want to check that out and see what to expect and when.  Everyone is a bit different but results are fairly typical.  I’ve recently posted past pictures again showing what to expect.  Go to my archives and see daily results from. 2012 and 2015.  My website is ... MyFUEhairtransplant.com

In the mean time keep posting pictures on this website every month or two showing us your progress.  Best of luck to you.

So here we are, day 17. Scabs have all come off (bar 1). Ive had a little trim back and sides. Overall I am happy with my progress so far. 

Hello. 

Just an update really and a query about the gym. 

So I’m 2.5 weeks post FUE. 99% of scabs have now come off, the recipient area is looking neat and clean. 

I’m happy with everything so far. I am missing the gym though. I used to go 5/6 days a week and I haven’t been for nearly 3 weeks 🙈. 

Am I okay to return to weight lifting? What are the concerns at this stage?

Thanks. 

Thank you for the replies. Really have put my mind at ease. This hair transplant business is quite stressful at times haha.  Thanks again . Much appreciated. 

I am day 12 now after FUE. 

Washed my hair today and loads of scabs have stared coming off. Most of these scabs contains hair. 

There has been no bleeding. 

Are these normal?!

I’ve been advised to wash every 2 days. 

Thanks for your reply. I will try that tonight. 

Okay so I’m 10 days post FUE. And I have small scabs and redness on my recipient area. 

I know that by removing the scabs it will reduce the redness however I’m being a wimp and I scared about touching the recipient site whilst washing. 

Is it same to physically massage the area now?

Thanks.

Hello.

I am now 1 week since FUE. Just wanting to post some pictures and see if the stage I’m at is good and everything going in the right direction. 

I am currently washing my hair every 2 days and instructed by the clinic. 

Thanks for the replies. Much appreciated. 

Hello.

I had my fue procedure done on Tuesday and it’s now Sunday.

I still have slight swelling which is normal.

My donor area feels quite tight and is uncomfortable when trying to sleep.
It’s not painful it’s just uncomfortable when lying on it. Is this normal? 

Thanks.

Quite honestly, I’m not sure what your describing....headband.  I’ve had two FUE surgeries and did have some typical painless swelling which occurred a few days after surgery.  Can you post a picture?  Contact your surgeon and see what they recommend.  

Yeah sure. Please see picture attached?

ive been told to wear it until swelling goes down? 

Hello. 

I am 3 days post FUE procedure. 

I am still wearing the headband due to swelling in the forehead.

how many days should I wear this for? Is it okay to sleep in the headband?

thanks. 

Good afteenoon. 

After many many hours/weeks/months of research I am set of getting a HT in Turkey at a clinic called Hairmedico, the Doctor there being Dr Arslan Musbeh.

Has anyone any experiences?

is this a good pick?

Thanks.

Hi iam considering hair transplant in Turkey and i need 4000 to 5000 grafts but i am confused and I don’t know how choose the correct doctor.

I contacted many clinic and my short list is :

 

Dr Resul Yaman 5000 grafts

Dr Arslan Musbeh Hair Medico clinic 4000 grafts

Other doctors !

 

 

Some other clinics told me that i will need 2 sessions

 

For Dr Yaman the advantage that you can find some experiences about him but there is a difference between the photos posted by patient and the ones posted by his team

And he is doing only part of the surgery

 

For Dr Arslan he was recommended by one of my friends, but I can’t find any posts about him, he is more expensive but he does all the steps by himself, his assistant told me that he is doing surgeries in Belgium and France also !

 

 

Your help is appreciated !

Who did you pick in the end? 

I am strongly considering Dr Arslan. (Hairmedico)

I found only middling reviews of Yaman (some good, some bad). I found only excellent reviews of Erdogan, so I chose him. Just returned from my HT and can tell you 100% I made the right choice. You can't go wrong with Erdogan. 

I chose to go with the doctor that I felt I would have the least amount of risk of having a less-than-great result, and for that reason I went with Erdogan. To me it was worth picking the one that would give me the highest likelihood of the outcome I am looking for. I felt that saving thousands of dollars may lead to an outcome that was not as good. Or at minimum, lead to me second guessing my results for years. That level of uncertainty in the long run was not worth the cost savings in the short run. 

How much did you pay in the end and for how many grafts? I think I need around 4500.

First post in here and Just after some advice.

i am driving myself mad with researching hair transplants and especially which doctor/clinic to pick. 

I have drawn up a short list of a few surgeons and was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

i have any many a different quote ranging from 2000 grafts for £3000 to 4500 grafts for £1400. 

Any advice and previous dealings would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
