Hello, I just had my first HT procedure done with Dr. Wesley in NYC on 7/26/21 and wanted to share my photos and experience here for others who are curious. I am also curious to receive feedback and see what people think of my result.
I am currently a 26 yo male who is about NW3 - 3.5, and have been on Dutasteride for about 1.5 years. Dut has dramatically brought my hair back and maintained it since taking it, and I plan on keeping on it for as long as I can manage. I am not on anything else right now, however i do plan on starting oral minoxidil in the coming days and seeing how that works on me. Basically i have been wanting to do a HT for well over a year now, but its been tough with COVID travel and all. Finally was able to find an opening with Dr Wesley in July and pulled the trigger. Very happy I did. I think he is a really great guy and all his staff were super nice. The procedure itself was super smooth and my only major regret is falling asleep during the entire procedure. I wish i was awake so i could have spoken to them more, but my jet lag and all was kicking in too hard. Basically woke up and it was all done. Was super happy to hear we got 2750 grafts as I was hoping for a big number.
I am currently on day 3 post op and feel fine, although my scalp is super itchy and that is very frustrating. There is a lot of post-op care so just hunkering down and taking care of that. Other than that, i think it all seems good. Scar does not hurt, and I am very happy with the design of the hairline and all. Basically i got grafts into a new hairline, my temple areas, midscalp and also a bit in the crown.
Going to attach pics here, so please let me know what you guys think of the work. I will probably post some additional photos as time goes on, but am trying not to be too obsessive. This is gonna be a long ride.
