Hi community, So I finally after 2 years thinking and researching decided to go with hair transplant. I wanted to share with you the progress and have a question about my donor area. Not to give a false impression, I am actually 100% satisfied by my experience with the Dr and really happy that I did it with a legit surgeon and not a hair mill. My main questions/concern is: I am a bit concerned about the redness still existing after 20 days in donor area! Especially the sides: - Any advice on how to get rid of them? I started using Aloe Vera after day 8 and some Bepanthol lotion but they are not helping much. - Is it over harvested!? (I highly doubt though considering the professionality of the surgeon) Any other advice that worked for you and is it normal to be red like that after 3 weeks? The Dr did not give me any medication for them, just after two weeks told me I can use Bepanthol lotion if I want on them or Aloe Vera. But no cream like some other hospitals prescribe (for scaring, etc). I am worried about the scars not being healing well or pigmentation issues. I took the photos in direct sunlight to show it more clearly. Below the summary and some shots: - Technique: FUE - Process: Dr did the extraction and the incisions (100%), implantation the support team did most of it (I was sleeping half of the implantation time but I think the Dr did as well part, probably the frontline but not 100% sure :) ). - Clinic: Prof. Dr. Kayihan Sahinoglu - Cost: 1.5 EUR per graft (so ~ 4845 EUR) including only the surgery and post-op (no hotel or transportation but they got me a discounted rate at the hotel) - Norwood 5-6 assessment (thus not going with risking harvesting much the donor and covering the crown yet Below photos are for: Pre-op, Day 0 (surgery day), Day 10, Day 20 and zoomed in side donor area. Pre-Op: Day 0 (Surgery day): Day 10 (after first wash): Day 20: Side donor zoomed in: Any thoughts about the surgery are welcomed, feedback appreciated. Do you think that when the hair grow actually the crown won't be that visible compared to pre-op pics? (I think my mid-scalp kind of merged with crown before that)
