Hi all, just providing a response to the above questions.
The photos above were taken before, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after surgery.
The surgery was across 2 days. The planning was done with the doctor and a technician present who drew this on and agreed with myself.
Day one was extraction and transplant carried in two sittings and the left/ central frontal area transplanted carried out.
Day two was the same again with the right frontal area and crown carried out.
The procedure was largely pain free with the exception of the local aesthetic which I had twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon of both days. Which takes around 2 mins to administer.
An update of today (6 and a half weeks) - I am most definitely in the shedding phase and experiencing quite bad dandruff/ flakiness and have been advised to use Nizoral shampoo. Which I have been using for around a week - with little difference. In terms of redness this doesn't seem too bad although may become more clear as shedding progresses.
Whilst understanding that no hair line is perfect and any procedure would be an improvement - since I arrived home in the UK I have had concerns about the symmetry which family have pointed out. The angle of the widows peak seems to be different either side/ whilst one side is more rounded. I guess I will wait for the final result to pass full judgement.
Attached photo is from 6 weeks and day of operation.
