Hi Everyone,
First time poster,
Started losing hair at around age 22, by age 24, became more significant but could easily comb it in ways that no one would notice, age 25 accelerated, loss of hair volume, hairline slightly receded, by age 26, hairline totally gone and was unable to cover up the hairloss anymore so took the plunge. Started Fin about 6 mon ago, take usually 4-5 times a week of 1.25mg
Im a local, had a consultation in september, decided to book in december I think, and had the procedure a couple days ago. When I sent it my photos, they said my consultation would be for surgery under Dr. Wong, had my consult with him, He said FUT would better serve me. I like to wear my hair short, but a #3 clipper seems to be what conceals most scars. so I was okay with that
Total break down below, I think my density was average to above average, Dr. Wong remarked during the surgery, I had great density, and great blood supply, and the results would be great so heres hoping to that LOL. The first few photos are pre consult, the ones with the mask are on the consult..could tell i lost more hair in the meantime. However started fin there after, dont really notice much effect on frontal zone, but Dr. Wong remarked it worked well in the crown. Dont really have photos pre-procedure that I took but ill try and find some
1 H: 613
2 H: 2639
3-4 H: 1523
Totaling 4775 grafts
I have a few questions - how long does it take for your hair to get back to preprocedure levels?, . 2 - how long does the pain last, 3. when did you feel like your sleep returned to normal. 4. when does the pain and swelling peak, 5. is the graft breakdown high density then?
Also I was surprised that they said no heavy wieghtlifting for 6 months, guess cardio it will be lol, I know 4 weeks no sports, but the heavy wieghtlifting was suprising.
Also in the front on picture with the grey-black my forehead looks more swollen as the saline is already working its way done
