So I had a HT with Dr. Wong of H&W to fix my hairline....it's been 8 days post op and it seems like 80% of the hairs are growing. Is this normal? And will it just grow and then fall out? I was shocked that I had very minor swelling. The first 2 HT I swelled big time....but it was from a really crappy place. I'm wondering if Dr. Wong's great work was so gentle and carefully done that I barely swelled?

Well I'm no expert but I suspect if you do it at a early age it's hard to really tell how much your really gonna lose say when your 32-26? I would suggest Hasson and Wong in Vancouver! I just had work done there on 11/4/09 compared to my last session in Tulsa. In terms of comparison they are the Ferrari of HT compared to a hyundai. Please go to a top HT Doc or your gonna regret it..and then they will probably get you on proscar to keep the rest of your natural hair.

I just thought of this Idea last night....so they are closed until Monday. Was wondering what you guys in the forum thought.

I am now 3 days post op and was wondering what you guys think of using Aquaphor to make the healing process go even faster? I have a full sleeve tattoo and my Tattoo artist had me use this to help heal post treatment. I was thinking of just very gently applying a thin layer to the grafted area. Any pros or cons? I'm thinking you when you guys read the ingredients you will say no...but it worked amazingly on my tattoo.

Active Ingredients: Petrolatum

Inactive Ingredients: Mineral Oil, Ceresin, Lanolin Alcohol, Panthenol, Glycerin, Bisabolol

Hello my German Friend!! Thanks for the info....I wish I had a vaporizer. After the HT I have to watch my money if you know what I mean would not mind sharing a bowl with you right now! So how is it in Germany what are you studying? I'm in Seattle,WA the stuff we have here is very quality...how is it there?

I have to go back to work 7 days after my HT I work at a Children's Hospital and Had 1500 grafts done on my hairline....my hairline was shaved up about a inch for the procedure..my hair is long but there is no way I can cover it up. I just can't shave my head either...so what do you guys think of me wearing a beanie at work? Will this be very damaging to my HT?

Hi,

I just had a HT of 1500 and was curious if I could smoke a little Marijuana....when I say smoke some I mean just a little to relax so like 2-3 inhales and that is it.

PS No need for anyone to get all huffy puffy and angry about this posting. I don't smoke cigs and rarely ever drink. Willing getting a little stoned really affect my healing?

This is day one after the Transplant...no bleeding at all....just a small spot on my cover that I use on my pillow...not really any discomfort other than it feels tight in the donor area where the staples are. I doubt I will even need to use the pain killers they gave me. Also, as much as I read on how to wash the grafted areas I still get nervous on how to wash and how much pressure to use should I really get the shampoo really lathered up?
