MONTH FIVE

Apologies in advance. I’m just getting over Covid and I haven’t had my hair photographer with me to take my monthly pics. These photos show the five month results thus far. Bare in mind I was a slick Norwood 7 with poor donor, two previous punch graft surgeries and scars. I think the fact the scars are now hidden is as much a triumph to me as having hair is. I need to dye my hair again but this is what it is to date. I’m already in talks with Dr Pradeep for a second surgery which blows me away but more about that later. 
 

Looking good!  You never buzzed it? Just let it grow out?

coming along nicely, Tony!

Thanks! 

Hey guy! Here are my pics  3 months and 2 weeks after surgery.  This is after two weeks letting it grow.  I have been using a buzzer at .5 to but the hair.  I made sure not to touch the scalp. 
 

i didn’t really have much shedding during the 3 months.   The hair are wirey. But I guess that is expected. 

I have been thinking I should color my hair dark brown to blend it in when the side. 
 

i also been looking at the timeline chart which is supposed to be fairly accurate. See below 

It was good to see everyone in person and on the podcast, and Dr Sethi.  
 

I think Dr Sethi  was probably exhausted from the long flight. 
 

Will take a 4 month pics in a few weeks and post. 🙏

Update.  Here are pics 3 days shy of 1 month after the procedure on March 3rd. I also used a buzzer to cut the donor area short and the recipient little short, didn’t want to touch the skin. 
 

 The hairs have shed but not much yet. The redness is almost gone.  The donor area you can see the FUT when buzzed short. But the beard area hardly any trace.

Fingers Crossed Adrian! Patience is the key now I suppose. Don't want to wish my life away, but these next seven months are going to be long lol. 

Haha I was thinking the same last night. I was like man, the next 6 months are going to be painfully long and slow months. What sucks is summer is coming 🙁

You can buy it anywhere the one I used is called lasercap. It’s pretty expensive. I was going to see if it worked before asking them to set up like a discount code for the forum.

It looks like it’s working.

Here’s a three week difference, once I started using the laser helmet. The same room, very close to the same lighting and angle. 

Wow! Do you have a link for the helmet where to buy? 

Looking good !  Can’t wait for the 4 month mark.

Looks fantastic John! 

At day 7 you can predict a rough estimate how your hair will look at 12 months with a buzz cut. Absolute good work! 

I been thinking about that.  Seems whatever you have on day 7 or before the shedding starts, that’s what the hair will look like at 12 month

Day 7 - Update 

Scabs have all come off nicely. Beard and donor healed up well. Scalp is red as expected, hopefully will fade in the next few weeks.

Looking good!

Many Thanks! 

Eugenix’s donor management, alongside their ability to take high numbers of grafts from the body really shows that baldness is just optional.

I guess one thing to also highlight too, is that this procedure is all FUE. I have a hunch that if I had posted pics beforehand forum members would have advised no to a transplant or that I would have needed a FUT procedure. 

I wish you every luck in your journey too! 

Definitely a no no to FUT. that’s very painful during and after procedure

It was lovely meeting you Tony. Not only the piano a good snooker player too.

Best of luck for your result.

Thank you sir!

Yaasar it was a pleasure meeting you too.  Your before pic and what your hair looks like now is amazing. It made such a huge difference.  It definitely gave me more confidence too. 🙏

You look like you're really healing well for post-op and the redness should abate hopefully. 

Look forwards to seeing the results in 12 months and of course along the way. Always love hearing when you get better than expected news. Hell, those body hair grafts trying to pop out the robe and to the top of the head already!

All the best Tony. 

Thanks man!  Definitely different than what I had done which was strip grafts. That was sooooo painful and took such a long time to heal.   This was a breeze. 
 

And yeah the body hair are next to attack and put in the crown area. 😂

 I’m game. 😁

Hey John,

it was nice meeting you.  I need a rematch in pool. 😁. 
 

great pics. Definitely looks clean post op.  Congrats !!

Also the beard. I shaved yesterday and already coming out again.  It pretty much healed , just a little bit tenderness. 
 

Today is 8th day post op.  Went in for a second wash.  Will be going in tomorrow for a last round of wash before heading back on Sunday.

The beard has healed incredibly well. You can’t see anything wow. 

I know! I had to shave very gently. It’s still irritated but manageable.
