Hi Everyone, I will post a final update sometime next week. Sorry, I have been extremely busy in the last few months. I'd like to also thank some of the community members who reached out to me.

Are you saying that I need another transplant session to get the density? I would expect ~2800 grafts were more than enough for my case..

Here is the ~8-month update. Picture taken after a shower and immediately dried. The planted hairs are still wiry, and I hoped the density improved. Please let me know your thoughts!

It’s Low Level Light Therapy. It supposedly helps with the recovery.

This is after 5 months and 1 week..

I actually had this issue starting on day 5. The intensity and frequency lessened over time, and by one month, it was barely there. My doctor told me it was a superficial nerve damage.

This is 4 month and a week after the surgery.

Donor at the 2nd month: Scars are noticeable when getting a fade haircut. I see a long brown scar from the headband (used to prevent swelling) which I hope is not permanent.

3-month update:

I honestly don't know since I don't have experience with other ht doctors. All I can say is that my experience with Dr. Laorwong was great so far: (1) the surgery was pretty much painless for me, (2) the recovery was also easy since the brochure he gave me had all info I needed, and (3) he has been responding to my questions quickly. For the results, I still cannot say since I am still at the early stage.

I’m also from southeast asia. I suggest you also look into Dr Laorwong or Dr Path in Thailand.

Nope, they didn’t charge me extra. I only knew the distribution after I emailed them yesterday. Maybe it was their mistake or they decided that more grafts were required during the surgery.

the breakdown is the following: 1 hair-grafts = 634 2 hair-grafts = 1583 3 hair-grafts = 532 in total: 2799 grafts it turns out that the actual procedure is 2799 instead of 2600 grafts.

2-month update: I guess I am in the ugly duckling phase now.

Does this mean that the doctors are not involved in the extraction step? With doctors from Turkey (both from Reddit and this forum), I have seen problems with donor over harvesting (often with high transection rate). And so, extraction step is a crucial step in this surgery. For you personally, do you perform both extraction and incision steps? How many patients do you take care in a day?
