Update

Thanks @Etownone yes there is some overharvesting in that one section for sure. No one else has ever noticed apart from me (so I’m lucky it’s not too bad) I think I’ll wait until 3 months as there’s nothing much to report… pretty much back to baseline how I looked pre-transplant 😅

MyWHTC is the name I believe @SeanToman

Looks great man! I saw him on 1st Feb.

Did you notice much of a difference between each dose @TheManeMan

Spot on. And how are your results from it? @Viney

Currently 6.5 weeks post 2nd op in which I have another thread linked. I started using topical minoxidil again 10 days after surgery but can’t help myself from looking at the benefits and ease of oral 👀 There seems to be such conflicting information about the side affects depending on who you chose to watch and which side of the fence they sit on (pro vs against oral) Overall, what are your thoughts on whether oral is worth it long term based on current research? *if I did start, I’d start at 1.25mg per day the increase to 2.5mg after 2-3 months (based on research advice)

Looks great! How are you feeling on Oral Minox?

The quality of the photos don’t seem to do it justice

Thanks @Dillpickle123 Do you mean another month from my position now? thanks @Gatsby makes sense!

Do you have any photos just before you started finasteride out of curiosity?

I’m a little over 1 month post surgery and seem to have bit of Shock Loss/Redness/Native Hair Colour change (in which the hairs have gone very light/almost grey haha) just above my ear on the left side where quite a few grafts were taken (See photos below in different lights)… *I have a separate thread on here speaking about my 2nd procedure which was with Dr.Mwamba on the 1st February ‘24 (1600 grafts)* The other side doesn’t look like this. Does anyone have any idea how long this usually lasts for? (I was slightly worried that it was over harvesting but considering it was with Dr.Mwamba, I highly doubt it)

1 month id say around 70% of transplanted hair has shed. My left temple point has pretty much completely shed (shown in the photo below). My right temple point has only shed approx 50%, so who knows if that will linger around or not over the next couple weeks. It’s difficult to tell if the hair behind the hairline has shed due to the other hair… but I suppose it doesn’t matter if I can’t see it 😅 Donor is getting better although on my left side above my ear where a lot of hair were extracted, there seems to be a bit of noticeable redness/little bit of shock loss which hopefully will recover soon.

Day 20 | First hair cut Had my first haircut today (3 weeks post op as of tomorrow). Couldn’t wait to tidy it up a bit and resemble somewhat of a normal style (although still needs growing out) Transplanted hair I think is showing signs of beginning to shed (on my left temple peak mainly) so I’m preparing myself for the next few weeks! My donor looks decent but I’m looking forward to seeing it once it has grown in, in another 4-6 weeks.
