Senior Member Tubs Posted August 8, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2008 I met CR yesterday, his crown looks even better than the photo's - his mop is going to be A1! Some people may think CR a little crazy re: hiding his HT from everyone - after meeting him yesterday I can confirm he is truly certifiable!! - luckily he is also cool dude Tubs ======================= 3,500 grafts - Dr Feller - 08/08/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ccexxp1 Posted August 8, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't think he's crazy at all for hiding, I "hide" every repair surgery! In fact, to me, worse than the actual surgery and the little red marks is the "surgical haircut"...mine is always kinda bozo the clown...that is probably why I hide! I know it's really dumb, but, everyone is different. I give CR "mad props" for the pictures, I'm too chicken to do that. I know they really help substantiate the words, wish I could overcome that.

Regular Member Crown Royal Posted August 9, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey Guys & Gals, I updated my Weblog for Day 8 Post Op! I'm assuming everything is firmly in place now, so can I massage shampoo a little harder now to really and try to get all the scabbing off? Can I let the shower hit the recipient area directly now at Day 8 Post Op? Thank you in advance for anyone that can help with suggestions Crown Royal's Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Aloe Vera gel on my recipient area and it really loosened those scabs up. At the nine day time, I let the shower hit my head BUT I have a water saver shower head that only puts out two-gallons per minute, plus yours is more exposed. I think you'll be fine, but I'd still recommend the Aloe Vera as it's soothing as well. 100?

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Crown, Thanks for keeping us updated. It looks like some of the scabs are still holding on. Have you been gently working them off in the shower? Other than that, it appears that you are healing quite nicely! Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Crown Royal Posted September 1, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 1, 2008 Check out my updated weblog for 1 month pics with concealer They are pics that I just took today, 1 month post op with Dr. Feller. Wanted to help out and show how I am concealing everything until growth starts (in a long time). It's definitely not the greatest disguise in the world because my native hair still hasn't grown back in the crown. I didn't have much to begin with but enough for dermatch to look great in the crown. Now, since there isn't that much hair back there right now, it is challenging to try and cover up. Basically, I apply dermatch first and then sprinkle on some Toppik and I try to even it out as much as possible. I do the same for the scar. I think it does look kind of "fake" but in my mind it's better than the alternative and I feel like "it can only get better, right?" I will keep doing this regiment until the HT grows in. The toppik is messy though, does anyone have any other suggestions? I know the majority of products out there need some kind of hair to "hold on to" but just wondering if I can improve on "the fake" look for a few months more :-) Crown Royal's Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Crown, Your crown doesn't look bad with the concealer, but I understand why you feel it looks a little fake. I tried Dermmatch a few times and even though I thought I was getting better at the application, it just never felt natural to me. Part of the problem is, topical concealers don't work as well on bald areas and are better on areas of thinning hair. But you are only one month out. The wait is the hardest part, but the results are coming . Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Franklin Posted September 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2008 I agree. Even though I had thinning areas I still hated using it. Since the ht 5 years ago I never miss using this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member richie48 Posted October 4, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 4, 2008 hey crown The duldrums do suck buddy but try to hang in there , it will be worth it . Me and my girlfriend want to know if you managed to keep up the deception , did you eventually have to tell anyone and how did they react ? cheers big guy and keep the faith richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Crown Royal Posted October 4, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2008 Haha Richie, Believe it or not, I've kept the deception strong. When I first saw my girlfriend and my co-workers, it was obvious that something was going on with my crown. Even with dermatch, you could tell it was shaved down in a perfect bald circle. I told everyone that my friends shaved a bald spot in the back of my head when I was sleeping and drunk one night in California! That story has held up to this day and NOBODY knows I got an HT except for my barber. I decided to tell him, he didn't even know when he was cutting my hair afterward because I had dermatch in and he has just been using a #3 clip all over since my HT. I felt good telling him even though I was a bit embarrassed. The only funny thing about my story is the other day my co-worker was looking at the back of my hair and said, "man, that is taking awhile to grow back in there in the back". I said, "yeah, those bastards shaved my head and it's either growing back real slow or I'm afraid it might never grow back." In about 8 more months I'll just say, "thank god that hair grew back, I was scared I would have a bald spot forever!" Classic stuff I'll keep the faith brotha Crown Royal's Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ceasar08 Posted October 4, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi Crown--- As you know, I'm right ahead of you at a little over three months now. Just so you're prepared, in my experience, the three month mark is the toughest. Up until now, I knew it was virtually impossible any changes would be happening. Once I knew three months was approaching, it got nerve racking and more tempting to check the mirror. I agree that reading about something is much different than experiencing it. I didn't think waiting for the growth would be so difficult. Look forward to hearing more of your updates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairthere Posted October 27, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2008 looks like you're right on track. those pimples you've got are a pretty good indicator that growth will start soon. just remember it will take at least 1 year to see the final growth results and it will continue to improve up until 18 months.

Dr. Alan Feller Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Crown Royal, If there is no residual cover-up left in your hair after your shower, then I'd say you are growing very fast for a crown case indeed. We're very happy for you here at the office and we all look forward to your continuing progess. Congratulations on your growth to date. Can't wait to see your pics by summertime. Grow well.
