  1. I've passed month 1, on day 30 at the moment. Not really much to report, donor is healed and the top of my head is not far from being back to normal, slightly numb still, but has gained back feeling there quite a lot over the last week.

     

    More grafts are falling out in the bath now, but i still retain about 60% of them, so will probably carry on shedding for another two weeks, maybe keeping 30%, the redness was not a problem for me, although there was slight discoluration in the recipient, there still is, but this has improved even more, and is not something that stood out much. The only comment i got was a few weeks ago someone said my hair looks like it's turning ginger ? But that was slight redness is all

     

    TBH everything is fine, not down or depressed, although there's always time for that later on :)

  2. The swelling is more likely if the doc uses a lot of anastaisia. Dr Rahal generally does use a lot, but all docs mentioned on this thread are top docs, and the difference between H+W, Shipiro and Rahal and Dr Jones is the difference between average and world class.

     

    If i were you, i'd take consults with all three, send pictures to them and they will evaluate from there and give you an idea of what's possible.

  3. Thanks for all your answers.

    In terms of density who do you think comes up trumps?

    Is this correct that FUT should always be before FUE?

     

    That's a hotly discussed debate, FUE or Strip, there are many arguments and counter arguments regarding this topic.

  4. What i do is buy Proscar and cut it up in to smaller doses, Belgravia will just try to overcharge you for what you can get off the internet for a LOT cheaper.

     

    You could go even cheaper buy generic propecia, same drug as proscar, different name.

     

    Looks like you have some minor recession at the hairline. If you look up Spex on google he has a site with recommendation from a GP that will prescribe you proscar, all you have to do is email him and fill in his form, Dr Steven Edgar.

  5. I'm on day 17 tomorrow, still feel great, although may be different when the grafts fall out and i look balder.

     

    My head was clear of scabs by day 10/11, still have numbness at top of head, but Dr Lorenzo mentioned this could continue until around day 20.

     

    The healing from FUE really is much quicker than strip.

     

    Aloe vera gel really helps with the itch in the donor area.
