Crown looks way above baseline

yeah forsure, i think some credit has to be given to fin, started using about 7-8 months ago, so the benefit is likely also starting to be seen now

doing about 3-4/week 1.25 mg 

Hello Friends, 

giving two month update, 

numbness still there but getting better every week, redness never really showed for me because of complexion of skin, but its decreasing, 

have not been lifitng wieghts yet as per reccomendation of HW, (6 months feels like long time) 

feel like most of the grafts have probably fallen out, but my hair seems better than the original already (but who knows LOL)  

just got a haircut the other day, down to a 4, scar is not visible

Man i'm so excited to follow your journey, I can see this being an epic result. Shock loss doesn't always occur. 

Thanks so much Melvin 🙏  you're getting me even more excited for this journey hahah

Thanks everyone, 

its been a rough 7 days, havent been able to do much, waiting for time to pass, 

pain has settled but starting to get sharp twinges of pain in the scar line, defs a bit annoying forsure but tolerable

i'm adding pics from the day 7 update, let me know what you guys think, also when does "shock loss" around the scar occur 

Hey guys 

I'm having quite a bit of swelling around my eyes, Im post op day 3. One of my eyes is swollen shut almost, 

any ideas of how I can fix this?? or help in anyway, its quite distressing. thanks

Damn that’s a lot of hair, did they measure your donor density prior? I wanna know if I’ll get similar density if I go strip

They commented on density at the in person consult but never formal measured it

Yes just to get an idea of the scar and the overall donor area

cant really see the scar because my hair covers it, im planning on getting a haircut when the staples come and I'll try and upload some pics then, the middle two photos are with my hair wet, the last two photos are the ones I sent for the intial consultation. The sales rep (chris) said I was having some retrograde alopecia but Dr. Wong didnt seem too concerned 

Thanks for answering all the questions everyone, appreciate it all, 

if anyone seeing this has any questions let me know

Do you have any pictures of the scar? Did Dr Wong comment on your laxity?

Like picture with the staples? You cant really see it because of my hair, but will add a picture in a bit 

Yeah he said I had good laxity, when intially had my consultation he said it was good, can do scalp excercises for the back of the had if I want too... I never ended up doing them. At the consultation his estimate was somewhere from 4500-5000, and we got 4775, I'd say he's pretty good 

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
