Any updates after a few more months? Would love to see and hear about results. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the update. I think your hairline is looking really good! The waiting has got to be the hardest part. I think I am going to postpone until my kids are out of the house so I can recover without them around to see it. Again, redness looks to be much improved and the new hair coming in looks fantastic. Any regrets or are you happy now that you are over the hump? Thanks!

I think the latest pics show good improvement of redness. I am a female scheduled for a transplant in pretty much the same area as you. Anxiety is creeping in about how to camouflage the site in the weeks following the procedure. Can you tell us anything about how you wear your hair while healing? I assume you are wearing bangs or hats. And pictures of your progress since you last posted would be so appreciated. Thank you

Thank you all for the replies. I am wanting this so much but am so hesitant about the recovery phase. Can any of you or anyone else share their recovery experiences? As a female, I am worried about how long redness lasts, does new hair hide residual redness, if my existing hair will fall out near recipient site, etc. Any thoughts? And yes to the following question from jjalay: He has a good reputation, i think he is recommended in this forum too. Are you planning to do an fut proceddure?

Pictures of FUT result? And who was your surgeon for FUT?

I am a female scheduled with Dr. Gabel in April. I backed out of my first scheduled surgery due to anxiety over recovery phase. How has your mental state been during recovery? Any regrets or disappointment over having the procedure with Dr. Gabel?

I backed out of a scheduled transplant in September due to extreme anxiety about the recovery/outcome of the procedure. I am rescheduled for a transplant in April 2024 with Dr. Steven Gabel in Oregon. Anyone have any opinions about using him and about their recovery/outcome? I am a female looking to slightly lower hairline.
