Whipaway

Yep makes sense and that’s kind of my plan. I’ve actually left buzzing it for the last couple of weeks but I plan to buzz it today but leave it buzzed at a longer grade . Once growth starts appearing 🤞 I will leave it to grow again 👍🤞🤞🤞

Thanks mate

Thanks Ryan your kind comments mean a lot. Fingers crossed I get one the great Dr Bisanga results 🤞

2 Month Update. exactly 2 months today since my procedure with Dr Bisanga. I’ve totally switched off from it and not been at all bothered in terms of trying to hide it. with permission from the clinic I have buzzed it down which makes it blend in and look much better. I actually really like it that way ! With it only being 2 months there is obviously nothing to report on in terms of growth but the redness has really faded and settled down. On the below pics I have not buzzed it for 2 weeks, it usually looks and blends in better when it’s buzzed down. The donor looks absolutely untouched with no issues whatsoever. I started taking oral minoxidil about 1 month before the procedure and I certainly feel like something is happening . My beard has really thickened up and more hairs across my cheekbones which I don’t mind at all. I think my hairs and toes have more hairs ? I have also most definitely grown baby type thin hair on the side of my head from my temple points to my eyebrows on both sides. They are not really visible unless you look closely but they are certainly there. Let’s hope the minoxidil also works on the head.

I regularly Aloe Vera but I’ve stopped know.The redness is still there but much calmer with no spots either. Since my last picture update I firstly shaved all my head except the transplanted area and it made a huge difference. It was night and day , it just blended in much better . I then checked in with the clinic as to when I can shave the transplanted area and once I got the nod I’ve buzzed the whole head. I shed the majority of hairs perhaps 80 per cent but the ones which remained just seem to help make it all blend in. I spent years thinking how will I hide a transplant and It was pointless . I took the attitude of stuff it ! If anyone asks I’ll tell them. I went to work and all folk think is I’ve buzzed my head and nobody’s commented on that ! I’ve been to weddings , up town for a meal etc and seen folk . I laugh and think how can nobody say anything to me ! Very strange. Relax and don’t worry about it .

I am a few weeks ahead of you after 3001 grafts with Dr Bisanga. I started to shed from just after 2 weeks. i wouldn’t dread the next couple of months , it’s part of the process and I’ve really become use to how I look. Coming up to 7 weeks for me and the redness has really settled down. I’ve kept my hair short as it blends in much better , I will start to grow it once I start getting growth from the transplanted hairs. Not a single person has asked if I’ve had a transplant! I was dreading work etc but I wish I hadn’t stressed.

I agree with the above comments however if at some point you do go for surgery then Europe is a small effort !

Looks great. have you started to shed yet ?

I was ok to buzz my donor after a month. I don’t have as much growth as you yet from my procedure so I just snipped the ends of the longer strands . I would need to check what I was informed but I’m pretty sure it was another month after I could buzz my native hair.

Hi RWG I am a good few weeks behind you after having frontal work by DR Bisanga. it was always my intention to grow my native hair back as quickly as I can to try and get my comb over to cover up the procedure however I have kept it all buzzed down and it blends in much better. Once I start seeing growth I will let it all grow but in the meantime I intend to keep it buzzed down which I am very comfortable with

Thanks for the kind words Oliver Early days for me yet so I am letting each day pass and not thinking about it although my donor looks untouched and the redness is settling down. mice decided to keep it all buzzed down until I start getting growth. I’m actually enjoying having a buzzed cut

Do you have a thread with your procedure ? be good to see pics ? who did your procedure ?

Have you not considered Dr Bisanga ?

Hi mate, I have recently had a procedure with Dr Bisanga and I stayed at the value stay. Which room have you reserved?

Yet to get my result but the whole Bisanga team were great with me.

Thanks Ian… You have been of great support and it really is appreciated. The months will fly along and exciting times will come

1 month update. 2 days short of 1 month since my procedure. The first month has flown by and all my concerns of worrying about what folk will think & how will I hide it completely went out of the window ! I’ve really not been bothered and likewise nobody else has been bothered to look or ask. It was certainly better looking before the shedding started and at the moment it looks worse than ever but still not bothering me and I go about my business everyday without wearing a hat (unless it’s sunny). I do think that due to my native hair growing it makes it stand out more so I’m thinking of buzzing the top, back & sides down a little ? ? ? Thoughts please ? As expected the shedding started around 2 weeks and continued to do so. Not all the grafts have shed and although sparse they have slightly grown. The one thing that both myself and my wife have noticed is that upon close inspection and if you zoom in on the images you can see small stubbly hairs just popping through the skin - these are where I was completely bald so I can only presume that they are very small transplanted hairs that have not shed although they do seem smaller than the transplanted hairs that did shed, maybe I just didn’t notice them. The donor area looks no different than it did prior to my procedure. If anything it’s become itchy but nothing that bothers me. The biggest pain is the redness, I continue to apply Aloe Vera and I’m sure given time it will settle down. On we go … I won’t be obsessing and looking in the mirror to often , I will carry on with my day to day activities and let time pass.

3 weeks

Early days for me yet and at the moment I am using Aloe Vera. what have folk found best for getting the redness away ? 👍

For me mine can’t be native hair - They are where I had no hair at all. far to early for any growth so I can only presume they are transplanted hairs which have stayed tiny and not grown , although I have not noticed them before. I’m also not gonna think about my hair for a couple of months, best to get it out of your mind and let time pass.

Looking good. Do you think the little sprouting hairs that are popping through are transplanted hairs that did not grow as long as the others and they have not shed ? I am 3 weeks post surgery myself and I have similar. I haven’t noticed them before so they do look like fresh hairs popping through but it’s obviously to soon. Maybe they are just more noticeable because the hairs that were longer have shed ?

At only 3 months this is excellent 👌

12 Day update. I have stuck to the post op after care of applying the shampoos and creams. It was a nice feeling to wash off the scabs. Pics of both transplanted area and donor - side pic of donor area not the best due to me having lots of grey hair in this area.

Thanks for the kind words

Thanks buddy & thanks for your help prior to my procedure.
