Yan bio

Hey parasol, you had a bleeding where the game didn’t grow at all..? When did you get the surgery?

That’s actually an interesting idea 🧐

I'm 7 weeks post HT, and waiting is getting more and more difficult.. Now since I have a tendency to look for new signs of growth everytime I see a mirror I had just put all the hand-held mirrors I own in a closet, plus I've put a towel on the big mirrors which I take off only when shaving. That's stupid, I know! But I do feel it makes things easier. I actually do plan to do this for the next 4 weeks (meanwhile, my native hair will catch back, hopefully, after it suffered a pretty harsh shock-loss). Any tips from the veterans? Or just tell me I'm crazy 😅

Oh.. is that it? didn’t know some follicles shed fully and others don’t.. 🙏i thought if it sheds - it sheds completely. I wonder what might affect this.

1 month update! Ugly-ducking is here

Hey everyone! It has been exactly one month post HT with Dr. Maras @ HDC. There's something I have noted - I have an area of the size of around 6x8 mm which looks devoid of any signs of grafts. I've been looking at post 1 week/2 weeks pictures, but this is the location which had some more drastic blood clotting and scabs so it's hard to understand if there were / I had follicles in this area. I've added a magnified photo, one with a yellow marking indicating the mentioned spot and one without. I think this is the only transplanted area which does not show sighs of small hair 'black dots' and I'm concerned it might turn/stay bald There's

They’re both better than “decent”.

Hdc has two doctors while bicer is only one, hence better waiting time.

you're doing a great job and we definitely can't expect someone to do this vast amount of work for free. Also your responses are always objective, thoughful, and knowledgeable.

Hence the word "IF" in my original quote: "*If* you're having full schedule.. there's no reason for you to.." and only ~3-4-5 surgeons? I'm genuinely surpried 😅

thank you! this seems understandable. for the sake of diversity - what are other good forums over the internet dealing with HTs?

thank you for the reply. I searched for his answer about this but couldn't find it.

Is this a known fact - that some of the surgeons pay money to the management in this forum?

Just a general note about this logic (with no relaion to H&W or anyone in particular): when someone refuses a patient, it doesn't mean they're being ethical. If you're having full schedule (1 month waiting list or 1 year waiting list), there's no reason for you not to refuse a patient - your supply is already smaller than demand anyway and refusing a patient does not represent any potential loss of money.

At what point in time (4 weeks? 6 weeks? 8 weeks?) can you be sure you're one of those 'lucky bastards' who won't get the sheding period?

When is it safe to say sheding is less likely to occur? After 1 month with no sheding?

What about maras?

looking great. could you please tell me what size length did the barber used in the yellew rectangle painted?

Hey, this is immediately post op: And the one above which says “before” is of course the pre-op im not sure what is the density, but by calculating that my transplanted area was about around 48 cm^2 and 2950 grafts were inserted, maybe it’s an increase of arouns ~60 per cm

Is this the usual size and shape of necrosis? I think it’s suppose to be circular in size and noticeably bigger. This looks very scattered/diffuse. Can a surgeon reply maybe?

Also in your recent comment it actually looks better🧐

You had it 8 days before me.. I see..

I seriously doubt it’s a necorsis, mine looked the same and healed completely and we’re in the same time frame

38 YO, been on minoxi+propecia for the last 8 years. Balding status is stable. I wanted to strengthen my hair line becuase the only way I like my hair style is ~5-6 cm long brushed to the back with clay/wax. Sounds stupid I know but it really does change the way I look and feel. I was Tired of using toppik and devoting20 minutes every morning to hair styling. Iinitially the Dr evaluated ~2000-2200 hair follicles will be needed, but during transplantation I've been told my scalp is actually in a very good condition and we can achieve quite high density (as you can see, my initial condition is relatively ok), and eventually 2900 follicles were transplanted. We also lowered the hairline in about 1 cm (1.5..?). We didn't adress my crown as it is quite good, and I don't mind continue using toppink in this area as it's much easier to apply there. Here're my 2 weeks results. Ofcourse I know this is probaby going to shed, but as everyone I pray (and probably be disappointed) it won't

approx. 1 week ago I asked the same question (my pics looked the same as yours) and everyone here said it's going to heal and it did heal and looks normal. I'm a bit surprised it did turn up to be necrosis in your case 😕
