Yeah, I think I am fine. It is just the hair shafts coming out and I do not see any follicles. No bleeding so I think I am fine. Some of the new hairs just fall right out when I rub my head, but no irritation. Not really worried, but I also think they are shedding quicker than normal because I am using minoxidil. So maybe my new hairs will start to go faster

I just had a HT on July 21st and I am pretty sure hair shafts are beginning to fall out just after 11 days post-op. Is this too soon? I was told i can lightly rub the recipient area at this time and many hair shafts are coming out. Is this okay/normal?

and btw, i have been using this ext treatment and minoxidil for more than a year and a half now.

hey robert, the ext treatment that i am on is a three step process in the shower, wit shampoo, scalp cleanser, and conditioner with minoxdil twice a day. I jsut got a prescrption for propecia so hopefully that will help too. What else can you tell me about this ext shampoo and conditioner and what not. From previous readings, i thought i was on the right track with reengergizing shampoo and minoxidil with propecia on the way. what else can i do?

hey guys, i have been on the EXT treatment using minoxidil for a little over a year and a half now. Im 19 years old, turning 20 in september. I have noticed that my hairline has receded a bit more since i started using minoxidil, and the top of my head has gotten significantly thinner, forcing me to shave my head so it looks even. I am considering a HT to restore my hairline. I just have a few questions to consider... 1. How long does the hair take to grow after the surgery? I have read it takes about 3-5 months to see results, but then how does your head look if you have no hair and scabs on your head and hair growing everywhere else? 2. Do you recommend staying on the EXT shampoo treatment? 3. Would you recommend starting propecia? 4. What are some of the risks i take when getting this treatment with the rest of my hair that i still have? 5. Do they put you to sleep during surgery? How bad do the scabs look on your head before hair starts to grow back? enough to go out in public, or stay inside like a hermit? 6. Since the top of my head is thin, if i get the spots where my hairline has receded treated with donor hair, wont those spots look alot more thicker than the rest of my head? I also found out that i would need only 800 grafts total. Thanks for your time.
